Environment
The sustainable use of environmental resources and protection from natural disasters are issues of great relevance in a country like Italy, which is strongly exposed to hydro-geological hazards such as flooding, subsidence of riverbanks, landslides and avalanches.
Each of these phenomena can to be carefully monitored and controlled with instruments specifically created by Pizzi Instruments thanks to our long experience in this field.
Via our automated monitoring systems, which are centralised with our data loggers, phenomena can be monitored 24/7 by sending alarms whenever specific thresholds are exceeded, thus allowing rapid response to emergency situations.
In 2006, the Pizzi company was commissioned by the Diagnosis Company of Catania, on a commission from the Sicilian Region, to supply instruments for monitoring injuries in buildings and in correspondence with fractures in the rock in the landslide area of the town of Naro (Agrigento).
Supply of two landslide monitoring systems as part of the “S.P. 16 Chianti-Valdarno S.P. 56 del Brollo and Poggio alla Croce – Connection to San Biagio “
In 2008 the Pizzi company received the order for the supply of a monitoring system to control the levels of the “leachate” and some weather parameters of the former R.S.U. di San Martino a Maiano in the Municipality of Certaldo (FI), managed by the Florentine Consortium of Environmental Hygiene Quadrifoglio Spa.
On 27/02/2016 there were calamitous atmospheric events, caused by persistent and very intense downpours, which caused considerable damage to the entire road heritage of the Municipality of Siena. The most serious occurred along via Peruzzi, near a road embankment, where a significant collapse of a wall occurred with the consequent sliding of a large amount of land into the valley below.
For several years, the Swiss company GeoSIG Ltd undertakes with the Department of Civil Protection – Seismic Structural Observatory – a series of contracts for the support of the ordinary and extraordinary management of the monitoring systems of the Seismic Structural Observatory.
The project was born from the need of the Italian Navy to be equipped with a system to measure the transversal inclinations of Navy ships during stability tests.
In 2008 the Pizzi company received the order for the supply of a monitoring system for the Alice Castello landfill, in the province of Vercelli.
