Our company, aiming to reaffirm its leadership in the design and manufacturing of steel poles and towers, has taken a decisive “step forward” through significant investments to install plasma welding lines; this represents the most advanced, flexible, and unique technology to address the themes of “resilience” and “sustainability,” which are central to a more conscious need for safe and environmentally qualifying Public Infrastructure.
The plasma-welded pole represents a true revolution in the steel support sector because, as a result of a technology that excludes the use of filler metal, it guarantees a 100% uniformly resistant section and presents an outer surface free of welding; this leads to the clear overcoming of the limitations of traditional welding, such as MIG or SAW in semi-automatic cycle, without resorting to the extreme case of removing the external welding bead with the sole effect of minimizing the already limited penetration.
In terms of reliability and durability, the “plasma-welded steel pole” does not require structural checks and/or maintenance, at least for the 100-year timeframe now identified as a civic and legal obligation. In Siderpali, the investment in plasma welding lines is part of the broader ongoing program of the so-called “Smart Factory” fully inspired by the Italian and European program of Industry 4.0.
A true cultural turning point to be protagonists of the fourth industrial revolution where, in addition to decisive efficiency goals, the aim is to improve the quality of productions and working conditions.
In conclusion, the steel pole sector can now rely on a significantly different potential of “R&D – design – implementation” for a new era of Public Infrastructure, safe and sustainable, worthy of a country capable and responsible for adopting the most advanced solutions available today to build a better future.
