In the glass industry and related sectors, Italy has a large number of excellences, i.e. companies that bring traditional and cutting-edge techniques, dedicated to the creation of products, services and solutions of absolute value and quality.
The category falls into this category Blackwater Testing Lab of Altivole. The laboratory, located in the small town in the province of Treviso, is in fact unique in the world European panorama.
The market demand addressed to the Blackwater Testing Lab is currently located in territories far from Italy, where it is more likely for extreme weather phenomena, such as hurricanes and typhoons. This is the case, in particular, of North America and Australia; but it is not unthinkable, as sadly demonstrated by the Vaia storm of 2018, that similar episodes could occur even in Europe and Italy, making the laboratory's skills necessary also at home and in the Old Continent.
The peculiarities and services of the laboratory
The Altivole laboratory is an excellence in certify windows and doors e glass intended for the construction sector in locations subject to extreme weather events. The stress test carried out at this facility are aimed at guaranteeing the protection of the people residing in the buildings, ensuring that materials do not penetrate inside the buildings.
The Blackwater Testing Lab's machinery simulates the impact of trees or other heavy materials on glass sheets. But the resistance tests also concern the strength and incidence of the water and winds connected to these impacts. Finally, the laboratory carries out further mechanical tests and thermal evaluations on slabs up to 12,5 meters wide and 5 meters high.
Le quality policies, central to the laboratory project, are certainly one of the key aspects of the international success of Made in Italy: in the glass industry and related sectors.
