A GREAT CHALLENGE FOR OUR R&D DEPT

GEMINI IMPIANTI has been granted from the EU-funded Horizon 2020 program to develop the production technology for the patent Pending Pressure Activated Tendon (PAT) of FSC Technologies with the IMPRESS project.

Horizon 2020 is the biggest EU Research and Innovation program ever with nearly 80 billion EUR of funding available over 7 years (2014 to 2020). 

Pressure Activated Tendon (PAT) is an innovative technology to improve buildings resistance to seismic and fire loads and reduce their life cycle cost and environmental impact; it can overcome the current Prestressing and Post-tensioning techniques used to strengthen concrete
