SACEN S.r.l. has been working for more than 40 years in the civilian building trade and has been able to acquire, during the years, a great experience in the execution of special works for the conservative and building restoration through a high specialization in the field of the buildings reinforcement to allow the adjustment to the most recent earthquake-prrof technologies.

SACEN has at its disposal, apart from Naples offices, an operative office which is part of the industrial assembly of Minturno (LT) on the trafficside; leading to the motorway interchange of Cassino (FR). Here, there is the operative group of the company and it’s the seat for all the equippings, machines and motor vehicles, but above all the seminafactured in composite materials are realized; they are necessary for the restoration interventations and structural reinforcement.

It’s possible to declare that the experience, gathered to a deep activity of research and experimentation, have allowed SACEN to achieve a remarkable know-how above all about a particular attention to the new materials andto the high technology, respecting the historical heritage preservation.

All this allows to face with enthusiasm, experience and competence all the problems of this field, proposing solutions which are,surely, new and targeted, through the use of technics and updated materials with high technological characteristics.

The company owns a system of the quality management; in accordance with the rules ISO 9001:2015 with a particular attention towards the reinforcement and restorations through the use of composite materials; this system guarantees durablness; and the good execution of the works, in particular there is a high respect of processes and controls which, just in the case of updated technologies which are adopted, are able to take a high level of importance for an excellent result of the works.

SACEN owns the SOA declarations in these following categories and place-lists :

OG1 Category – Place-list IV
OG2 category – Place-list VI
OS21 category – Place – list III

It owns registered marks and some patents for industrial invention, among these:

“Reinforcement methos, restoration and improvement of the structural elements”
“Element od structural reinforcement for the building trade and relative method of realization”
“Method for the application of fibrous materials to civilian, industrial and monumental handworks”

Activities

SACEN , nowaday, enrolls its own activity, above all, in the field of cultural heritage, but it thinks carefully of all the matters about the deterioration and preventive recovery of the buildings or of part of them, even if they are in masonry, reinforced concrete, wood, etc

SACEN becomes unique interlocutor of the purchaser and of the Works Direction: from the first analysis and planning, through the prices budgeting, to the handworks production and realization and to the phase of the work execution.

It owns a high knowledge and familiarity about the composite materials (Aramide fiber, Carbon fiber, glass fiber, hybrid fabrics) and the technical fabrics, through them it worked on important works such as Saint Francesco of Assisi Basilica and The Amphitheatre Flavio (Colosseum) in Rome; The store of knowledge and experience gained in this filed have allowed it to refine the interventation techniques which, nowadays, are the pride of SACEN which is the holder of some patents on materials and reinforcement methods.

SACEN has got own machines and with a highly qualified labour, it produces and applies its own handworks through methods which are always studied and in a continuous evolution, through the high experience and techniques gained during the years.

It works in the conservative restoration field, of the building recovery and it is specialized in the deteriorated buildings reinforcement and into the improvement of the seismic behaviour of the structures, through the use of an intervenatation method called “ SACEN Composite System ”, which foresees the use of composite materials in Aramide fiber, Carbon Fiber, Glass fiber or hybrid fabrics.

This reinforcement system has been studied in many years of research and experimentation through several laboratory tests and aimed tp check the result characteristics.

All the works of SACEN are executed respcting the rules and methods arranged with the following Corporations:

• Restoration Institute
• ENEA
• C.N.R. (Document CNR-DT 200/2004)
• Ministery of the Environmental property

This new system is based on the use of Aramide, Carbon, Glass or Hybrid fibers and multiaxial fabrics MULTITEX ® , bidirectional BITEX ® and unidirectional UNITEX ® integrated with pivoting and riveted joints through round bars BARTEX ® , frayed round bars NAILTEX ® , Flat bars FLAT-TEX ® and plaits tie rods BRAID-TEX ® and finds a specific application in the reinforcement phase and in the static improvement of deteriorated structures.

In detail:

• The aramide fiber is particularly suitable for the improvement of the wall and wooden structures (method “ SACEN Composite System A ”);
• Carbon fiber is particularly suitable for the improvement of the reinforced concrete buildings (method “ SACEN Composite System C ”);
• the glass fiber for some and specific typologiesof interventation and project (method “ SACEN Composite System V ”).

the system foresees the wet way application of the technical fabrics MULTITEX ® , BITEX ® , UNITEX ® and, in the specific way, the working phases are the following ones:

1. preventive application on the bearing which has to be treated of a proper epoxidic primer which is bi-component superfluid,with a low level of toxicity; and environmental impact, codified “IPM EP-P H/W” into the version which is suitable to the bearing and to the environmental conditions;
2. following surface settlment through the use of an epoxidic tixotropic stucco, with a high level of penetration and high mechanic and adhesion strength codified “IPM ARMATEK” into the version suitable to the bearing and to the environmental conditions;
3. laying “cool on cool” of the MULTITEX fabrics ® / BITEX ® / UNITEX ® previously impregnated with the superfluid epoxidic resin with a highimpregnating power and a low level of toxicity and environmental impact, called “IPM EP H/W” into the version suitable to the bearing and to the environmental conditions; the impregnation is executed through the suitable machine or, where the environmental conditions don’t allow the use, through a manual system (plunging of the fabric in some tanks containing resin and elimination of the product in excess).

The structural reinforcement planning solutions through the method “SACEN Composite System” are good for the caracteristics of “not invasive ;”, “innovative;”, “quickness;” and “economical advantage” in comparison with an interventation of reinforcement executed according to the classic methods.

The resins which are used for the structural reinforcement are produced by the IPM Italia S.r.l., a leader company in this field and it takes care of “no-dangerous” products, with a low environmental impact, a low level of toxicity; and have at their disposal, in conformity with the most recent safety normatives, the proper and detailed technical reports and safety reports.
