The Marassi Lantern lights up thanks to LTC

After the Dacia Arena in Udine (one of the most innovative sports facilities in Italy), even the energy of the Marassi stadium in Genoa, starting from the current football season, is flowing through electric cables produced by La Triveneta Cavi. In fact, for the recent restyling of the famous Ligurian stadium, a large supply of our cables has been selected. The Luigi Ferraris Stadium is 110 years old and is the oldest football stadium still working in our country, recognized as one of the sports facilities that has made the history of Italian football. In 1933, between the two wars, it was named after Luigi Ferraris, captain of Genoa who died in the First World War.

Trisecur FG16OM16, a perfect cable for Stadium Marassi


27 kilometers of BT Trisecur FG16OM16 10G2.5 produced by La Triveneta Cavi were used in the works for the new lighting system of the stadium, mainly employed to power the lights and the safety lamps arranged on the entire surface of the stadium. Our Trisecur cable offers maximum safety and is in fact required by designers of sports facilities as it is resistant to weather and variable temperatures, with a guarantee of functioning for many events to come.

The version of FG16OM16 used for the Marassi stadium is 10-conductor


As reported by the website Calcio e Finanza –  there is a project worth over 40 million euros to be implemented over the next three years.

The project includes the construction of a “sky box” area with luxury lounges dedicated to companies and sponsors, the renovation of the changing rooms, the construction of a conference center, entertainment areas, restaurants and shops. 

For this facility Forum LED projectors (by Disano illuminazione Spa) were chosen, the spotlights that have brought the quality of LED lighting up to the level of large sports facilities. In addition to energy savings, the perfect stability of the light, with high color rendering, guarantees high-definition TV shooting and maximum comfort for both players and visitors.  

The new Luigi Ferraris stadium system includes 240 1392W Forum LED projectors with 3 different optics, replacing the 368 old generation 2000W lights.

Our partner FEGA & Schmitt inaugurates new Logistics Centre dedicated to electric cables
Posted in   on Company news, Featured, news lato slider (EN)

The presence of La Triveneta Cavi is strengthened in Germany thanks to the construction of a huge new Logistics Centre entirely dedicated to electrical cables which is the result of an important investment of our partner FEGA & Schmitt in Heilsbronn, near Nuremberg; the company is part of the giant Würth Group.


We are happy and proud to have been invited to the important event of June 7th, 2019 which was attended by our salesmen Giulio Pistoni and Piero Thiella. At the opening event the new Logistics Centre was unveiled in all its grandeur. Here are the numbers of the new construction:


40.000sqm of site area
15.000sqm of covered warehouse
65m long and 17m high shelf rows
250.000m3 of storage volume
10.000 pallet places
6 cable cutting stations
200 workers

At the official presentation, to underline the importance of the investment, besides the managing directors of FEGA & Schmitt Bernd Eberlein and Frank Leyser, Prof. Dr. h. c. mult. Reinhold Würth also spoke (Chairman of the Supervisory Board of the Würth Group). Further speakers were Robert Friedmann (Chairman of the Central Managing Board of the Würth Group), Dr. Jürgen Ludwig (Chairman of the Ansbach District) and Joachim Herrmann (the Bavarian Minister of the Interior). The conference was enlivened by musical performances by members of the Würth Philharmonic.


We congratulate FEGA & Schmitt for the exponential growth in recent years that has led them to be among our TOP 5 customers in terms of sales volume. This great investment in logistics will surely reward their corporate vision. We are ready to collaborate even more closely to meet the needs of the customers of FEGA & Schmitt, thanks to our new automated Logistics Centre presented in 2017 that allows faster, leaner and more accurate management of the shipments.

The LTC brand has been present in Germany for many years and is being further consolidated thanks to our ability to serve and supply important customers such as FEGA & Schmitt. In this market, in addition to the CPR Trisecur NHXMH cable, there are already substantial volumes of NYM, NYY, YSLY, J-Y(St)Y, EIB-BUS, EIB-BUS-HFR cables (also CPR certified) used in all civil installations and increasingly requested and appreciated for their qualities.

What are Halogen-Free cables?
Posted in   on Advices, Featured, Highlights, Market info, news lato slider (EN)

Just browse through our LTC catalogue to see that there are dozens and dozens of Halogen-free cables in our offer, daily requested by wholesalers all around the world. But where does their real need come from? In this article we want to make a bit of history and  an analysis of the current market since, even at this time, the Research and Development department of La Triveneta Cavi is focusing on the design of new CPR Halogen Free cables to ensure more and more security in high-density people buildings.

Identifying Halogen elements

The Halogens, or elements of group 17 of the periodic table, are Fluorine (F), Chlorine (Cl), Bromine (Br), Iodine (I) and Astate (AT). Halogens react with almost all elements of the periodic table and form ionic or covalent compounds that are often used as starting materials for the synthesis of other compounds, both inorganic and organic. Among the applications there is also the production of insulating material, used in transformers and, of course, in electrical cables.

 

Hazard of halogen elements in cables

Halogen elements, under certain conditions, can promote the spread of a fire and the gases released may cause serious damage to health. In excessive quantities, halogens have an immunosuppressant effect and weaken people’s cognitive and coordination skills.

Historical notes on the hazardousness of halogen elements in electrical cables

According to the well-informed blog www.incore-cables.com, the key event that brought out the danger of halogen elements in power cables was the fire at Kings Cross station in London in 1987. In that catastrophe 32 people died and following investigations showed that the majority of deaths were due to the toxicity of gases and smoke, emitted by electric cables and inhaled by people, rather than to burns or open flames. That was the only time that people died in a fire in the London Tube.

Mandatory use of Halogen Free Cables

As a result of the fire at Kings Cross station, companies, cable installers and safety experts decided not to manufacture or use any more cables containing halogen elements. Soon came the obligation from the authorities that was extended not only to the London Tube and to other stations in general, but in all those buildings or infrastructure, public, private and high-density people, such as cinemas, shopping malls, hospitals, offices, etc..

Continuous development of Halogen Free cables

The obligation to install Halogen Free cables arisen after the metro accident reinforced the growing attention to safety and therefore, in the following years, La Triveneta Cavi began to produce the first LS0H (Trisecur) cables. The recent process of improving safety  has seen the entry into force of the CPR Regulation (2017). Triveneta Cavi has already developed over 90 families of cables certified according to the CPR regulation and continues to develop new ones. Soon we will announce the launch of new Halogen Free cables that, completing our wide range, will add to all the others already in the catalog.
