For 40 years we have been manufacturing precision instruments sold all over the world
Accuracy in design, efficiency in implementation, reliability in management; these are the prerogatives that every major work must have and that the Structural Monitoring Systems must guarantee.
We offer tools and solutions for geotechnical and structural monitoring.
Our products and services are characterized by recognized high quality and proven reliability over time.
Our experience combines tradition with new market needs.
We offer innovative services and products, oriented to customization that meets the needs of our customers.
Operating principles, technical characteristics, construction materials and mounting accessories, are carefully chosen taking into account the specific characteristics of the work, the environmental conditions and the management problems of the same.
We guarantee continuity, reliability and precision for a complete response to the technical needs of designers and construction site problems.
Appropriate choices in the principles of operation and implementation of sensors and any other instrument make our structural monitoring systems long-lasting even in complex situations and environments, such as the monitoring and protection of civil works, infrastructures, monuments and the territory.
Our history
Our business was born in Florence in 1983.
With an agreement concluded with Officine Galileo Spa, a world-leading company in scientific instrumentation, Eng. Franco Pizzi acquired projects and patents for the construction and marketing of geotechnical and structural control instruments for dams and large structures.
The goal was immediately to support designers and companies in all phases of the project, developing with them the monitoring solutions related to specific needs.
Thus the engineering experience and technological innovation have merged together giving life to a company that over time has been able to integrate its technical and artisan knowledge with the latest technologies, to offer always innovative, reliable and personalized solutions.
What do we do
We deal with the production and supply of precision instruments for geotechnical and structural monitoring.
Thanks to our know-how, we support customers and designers from the preliminary stages of the project, providing careful and professional advice to understand the real needs and develop the best solutions.
We develop and produce ad hoc tools to meet various needs; we integrate our instrumentation into complete and complex monitoring systems; we provide fundamental support in the installation, configuration and maintenance phases of the system.
Our goal is to provide tools and monitoring systems appropriate to the real needs of our customers; not only standard tools and services, but specific solutions, studied with customers, to guarantee concrete and reliable answers.
Where we operate
Our instruments are installed in more than 300 dams in Italy and many others worldwide.
We have supplied products, solutions and services for the control and monitoring of various types of works and physical phenomena, guaranteeing our customers complete and qualified assistance at every stage of the project.
We are partners of the Civil Protection for the supply, maintenance and installation of instrumentation for vibrational and seismic monitoring of sensitive structures such as hospitals and schools.
Our systems are used for the control and protection of works of artistic and architectural heritage.
We have also supplied tools for the control of the Dome of Santa Maria del Fiore, the Column of Justice in Florence, for the monitoring of the Pyramids of Djocer in the archaeological site of Saqqara and of the Coptic monuments in Cairo.
We also provided the instrumentation for monitoring the works of the New Foster Station and the TAV underground crossing of Florence.
Our Partners
We collaborate with professionals and companies in every phase of the project.
An appropriate monitoring system can only be developed as a result of thorough knowledge of the structure or phenomenon to be monitored and the influence of other parameters such as the production phases, the intervention of the various operators involved, the instrumentation with its principles and installation specifications.
