Sustainability
NPS® Style columns are certified with an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) issued by a third party.
This declaration is based on life cycle analysis (LCA), calculated per kg of column, providing transparency on the environmental impact of the product.
NPS® Style columns support obtaining credits for sustainability certifications such as LEED and DGNB.
Assembly
A multi-storey NPS® Style column can be assembled in just a few minutes, with three operators and no shoring. After casting, you can immediately continue with the next steps, as the column does not require shoring. Choosing multi-storey columns speeds up construction: one installation serves several levels, optimising time and resources.
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.
