ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT
In Fachadas del Norte S.L., we have an engineering department with highly qualified personnel at your disposal. For each construction built with a STROW system, a Technical Report is made that assesses the suitability of the solution provided by our technical team, which includes compliance with the CTE.
In addition to these reports, our department is always working to offer the highest certification of our products, such as Document of Adaptation to Use (DAU) and European Technical Suitability Document (DITE) for the most commercialized systems. Currently, we have two systems with this certification:
- “Epsilon O” – DAU 10/062 D.
- “Epsilon T” – DITE ETA-13/0628
R+D+i DEPARTMENT (Research and development)
From Fachadas del Norte, we invest and work in R+D+i for the continuous development of new products, which offer innovative solutions in the field of construction and especially ventilated facades.
Currently, Fachadas del Norte participates in the project “STHIN”.
STHIN PROJECT
Fachadas del Norte, S.L. Participates in the STHIN project. Its main objective is the development of a new multimaterial lightened granite panel that preserves the aesthetics and low carbon footprint of natural stone, based on the development of cutting, handling and assembly machinery, and stiffening materials and specific anchoring.
The objective of FACHADAS DEL NORTE is to develop a multimaterial granite panel with low environmental impact that is anchored on facades by means of grooved systems, whose execution period is from 03/11/2019 to 03/10/2021, and its location is Cerceda.
The STHIN project also involves the companies Granitos de Atios, S.A. and Nodosafer, S.L.
This project has been financed through the call for R&D projects in national cooperation of CDTI, co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) with file number IDI-20190467.
The company has an approved budget of 368,317.00 € and a total support of 313,069.45 €.
"LIGHT CONCRETE WITHOUT CEMENT BASED ON CELLULAR GEOPOLYMERS" (GeoCel)
This project is supported by the Agencia Gallega de Innovación (GAIN) and the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), inside the OT1 “Promoting technological development, innovation and quality research”, within the framework of the operational programme FEDER Galicia 2014-2020, with an aid of 382.149,75 €.
The objective of this project is the development of new construction, without cement, and consequently with low environmental impact, through the efficient use of resources and row materials. In particular, new binders and geopolymer concretes with cellular structure have been developed, obtained from a process of geosynthesis of calcined clays and the inclusion of waste from the Galician industrial fabric.
The results obtained during the project development (2016 – 2018) have been:
- Design of a specific manufacturing methodology for the production of geopolymer blinders without special additives with improved features in contrast with the conventional cementitious materials.
- Study of the compatibility of aggregates from difference sources with the geopolymer to obtain an optimum mix composition of the polymeric concrete that can be used in building applications in which the conventional concrete is used.
- Design and development of innovative cladding and thermal insulations based on geopolymers, competitive, of high-performance, long-term durability, fire resistant and economically friendly. Design and development of a new non-draining pavement based on geopolymers with a low index shrinkage-expansion.
- Design and development of a draining floor without cement based on geopolymers and focused on a sustainable building model.
- Analysis of the life cycle and technical-economic analysis of the GeoCel solutions including the whole process of geopolymers design or geopolymer concretes, manufacturing and lifespan end, compared to the more conventional construction materials.
EDIFICIENT project
Previously, Fachadas del Norte participated in the EDIFICIENT project, for the development of a panel of high energy efficiency and low cost for the rehabilitation of buildings.
