The SafeNet ceiling anti-collapse system by Ruregold has been deployed in the refurbishment of the ASL (Local Health Authority) in Chieri, providing essential structural safety enhancements.

Ceiling collapse is a common issue in buildings constructed between the 1940s and 1970s. This phenomenon involves the detachment of the lower layers of hollow clay blocks embedded in concrete slab floors, posing a serious safety risk due to potential falling debris.

The SafeNet system consists of AR (Alkali-Resistant) fibreglass mesh treated with epoxy resin, along with SafePlaster—a special low-shrinkage fibre-reinforced mortar—and three distinct mechanical connection methods. This solution enables the creation of a practical, adaptable safety measure suitable for various ceiling types. The system’s versatile anchoring options—V-CLS, T-CLS, and T-CLS PASSANTE—allow the mesh to be secured to the underside of the ceiling along existing beams, or, if that’s not feasible, to the upper side of the ceiling layer.

Performance tests conducted by the Politecnico di Milano confirm the system’s effectiveness, supporting loads up to 500 kg/m² when used with the SafePlaster fibre-reinforced mortar.
