NPS® X Slim Column
The special feature of the NPS® X Slim columns is the presence of a steel profile inserted inside to increase load-bearing capacity, which makes them even more slender than the NPS® Slim and highly load bearing.
They provide integrated fire resistance and are designed to absorb vertical loads. Available in rectangular, square or circular sections and also in multi-storey versions.
Advantages
- Extremely slim sections

- High load-bearing capacities
- Fast and easy to assemble
- Available in multi-storey version for fast assembly
- Safety on site
- LEED and DGNB certified
- Certified product
- Design and technical support from Tecnostrutture technicians

Assembly
An NPS® X Slim multi-storey column is assembled in just 8 minutes, with three operators and without shoring.
After casting, you can immediately continue with the next steps, without waiting for the 28-day casting curing time. 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.
