NPS® Slim Sismi column
The NPS® Slim Sismi columns integrate a pre-installed earthquake-proof device at the top, an ideal solution for strategic buildings or in seismic zones.
They provide insulation at the base of the building and increased dissipation, reducing stresses. Available in single storey and in various sections: rectangular, square or circular.
Advantages
- Seismic safety already on site
- Seismic isolation of the building at the base
- Seismic-resistant solution without bracing
- Integrated fire resistance
- Slim sections
- High load-bearing capacities
- Fast and easy to assemble
- Available in multi-storey version for fast assembly
- LEED and DGNB certified
- Certified product
- Design and technical support from Tecnostrutture technicians
Areas of application
NPS® Slim Sismi columns are ideal for buildings requiring seismic isolation, fire resistance and large usable spaces. Perfect for self-supporting solutions without shoring, they guarantee fast and efficient construction.
Common application areas include:
- Buildings in seismic zones
- Healthcare
- Culture and education
- Residential
- Industry and commerce

Assembly
An NPS® Slim Sismi column can be assembled in just a few minutes, with three operators and without shoring. After casting, you can immediately continue with the next steps, without waiting 28 days for the casting to cure.
Choosing multi-storey columns speeds up the construction process: one installation serves several levels, optimising time and resources.
The fasteners for the dissipators can be uninstalled immediately after the deck has been cast.
Accessories
NPS® Base column head is the NPS® solution for punching shear resistance.
The NPS® Base column head prevents punching in the column area. Ideal for the top of NPS® columns. It can also be used at the head of cast-in-place concrete columns and precast reinforced concrete columns.

The composite steel-concrete NPS® Slim Sismi columns have been successfully employed in prestigious projects. Their strength? The anti-seismic device pre-installed at the top of the column. The NPS® Slim Sismi columns isolate the building at the base and are already seismically resistant on site.
