NPS® ZENITH UNDERGROUND STRUCTURES
For multi-span underground structures, NPS® Top-Down uses the NPS® Zenith device for the millimetre-accurate positioning of the NPS® multi-storey columns.
INFORMATION
BRAND
Sunroom
PRODUCT TYPE
Underground Structures
ADDITIONAL FINISHES
Possibility of keeping the elements in view, without additional finishes.
DETAIL
In this case, the NPS® beams rest on the columns permanently lowered into the excavation, ensuring maximum precision and immediate stability of the structure. This configuration eliminates the need to wait for the concrete to fully cure, drastically reducing construction time.
PRODUCTION
Made in Italy
TRANSITIONAL
No need for transitional works
COLLECTION
NPS®
ENVIRONMENTAL
Reduced environmental impact on site
PERFORMANCE SLIM-SYSTEM
NPS® New Performance Slim-System is a complete and flexible modular system developed by Tecnostrutture. It consists of composite steel-concrete beams and columns, made from up to 93% recycled steel and equipped with an Environmental Product Declaration based on Life Cycle Assessment per kg of product.
ASSEMBLY
Fast and easy assembly
COMBINED USE
Combined use of NPS® beams and columns
THE NPS® SYSTEM LIFE CYCLE
NPS® System contributes to reducing environmental impact throughout the life cycle and to obtaining LEED and DGNB credits. Produced in the factory, the elements are assembled on site in total self-supporting manner, eliminating the need for temporary formwork and shoring, thus speeding up construction time. After concrete casting, NPS® results in a composite structure with characteristics that comply with the performance levels required by the Eurocodes and Italian NTC 2018.

NPS® Advantages
FAST RETURN ON INVESTMENT
- Reliable costs.
- Less dependence on weather conditions.
- Overlapping construction phases for greater worksite speed.
- Reduction of building construction time by at least 40% compared to traditional systems, ideal for new construction and renovation.
EFFICIENT AND SAFE SOLUTION
- Increased safety on site.
- Almost total elimination of props.
- Reduction of labour requirements on site by 90%.
- Speed of installation: 8 minutes for a multi-storey column, 5 for a beam.
- Delivery of beams, columns and slabs at the time of installation, without the need for storage space.
SEISMIC AND INTEGRATED FIRE RESISTANCE
- Integrated seismic resistance, without the need for bracing.
- Consolidated experience of Tecnostrutture in seismic areas.
- Integrated fire resistance, with no need for post-installation treatment. A saving in terms of cost and time.
- NPS® elements can also be used as visible architectural elements, without the need for additional treatments.
REDUCED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
- Up to 93% recycled steel content.
- Environmental Product Declaration (EPD), crediti LEED e conformità ai CAM.
- 90% reduction of temporary materials on site, with positive effects on costs and waste.
- Environmental impact demonstrated per kg of product through Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)
- Lower energy consumption and CO₂ emissions than steel and reinforced concrete solutions.
- Lower use of raw materials compared to traditional systems, with the same performance.
