In the context of modern construction, logistics and road safety, efficiency and speed of action are fundamental. Let’s imagine having to build a robust structure, in a short time and with efficient costs: there are many solutions on the market, but few satisfy all the requirements like SaniBlock.
SaniBlock by Sani Rino was created precisely to meet these needs: an innovative system of prefabricated concrete blocks that combines maximum resistance to shear stress with extreme ease of installation, completely without glues.
From the management and separation of loose materials in recycling and storage centers, up to solutions for road safety and large events with shatterproof barriers and New Jerseythis company offers a complete “turnkey” service (from rental to removal) designed in full compliance with the most recent safety regulations.
This Parma technology, simple but robust, finds applications throughout Emilia-Romagna and Northern Italy, in the provinces of Parma, Reggio Emilia, Modena, Piacenza and beyond, up to Mantua and Cremona.
Modularity and flexibility, without concrete
The strength of SaniBlock is in its total modularity: there are no shape or size constraints.
The blocks attach to each other thanks to special grooves (“teeth” and recesses) and lifting hooks, making installation quick and intuitive. Simply assemble the blocks like a big Lego game (in fact, it’s actually called a system “Lego type”, on a decidedly larger scale) to delimit yards, storage bays or separate loose materials.
In this case, it is a dry interlocking system for quick installations. In practice, walls or bays of any shape can be built, which can be extended or modified at a later time.
Each module has a hole for the hook and allows the blocks to be stacked “dry”, i.e. without laying any concrete.
The result is a solid but completely reversible structure: in the future the same blocks can be removed and reused elsewhere without invasive interventions, something impossible with traditional concrete walls.
Construction times and costs drastically reduced
Among the immense advantages of SaniBlock compared to traditional methods are the speed of production and labor savings.
Since the blocks are prefabricated, while the foundations or the square are being prepared, the masonry part can be built at the same time, significantly shortening the overall time.
There is no need for carpentry, formwork or long hardening of the concrete on site.
The modules are assembled with workers and a crane using the SaniBlock dry laying technique which takes a few days and a small number of workers.
And this is how, in one fell swoop, companies save on mortars, concrete mixers, specialized workers and downtime, being able to use resources elsewhere.
A zero waste construction, to be changed when needed
In the event that, hypothetically speaking, the layout of the boxes or the storage regulations were to change, companies can dismantle and reorganize the SaniBlock blocks in a few hours, without excavation or demolition.
Companies thus obtain plastic layouts based on the market and current regulations. Furthermore, the blocks are available in various sizes, finishes and colors to best integrate into the environment (rock effect, stone, sandblasted concrete, etc.).
Not to mention that SaniBlock is also green. Since the installation is totally dry, no demolition waste is generated on site: at the end of their useful life the blocks do not become rubble to be disposed of, but simply a 100% reusable or recyclable industrial product as aggregate.
Where and when to choose SaniBlock
The key application sector of SaniBlock is recycling and scrapping plants, where it is necessary to organize safe storage bays for bulk materials.
SaniBlock modules are in fact suitable for the separation of loose solid materials such as metal scrap, glass, plastic, paper or earth.
Let’s imagine a recovery plant in the province of Parma or Modena: instead of casting concrete walls to be rebuilt or modified with each change, prefabricated blocks are assembled. The result is a tidy storage area, easily reconfigurable for different types of waste.
In the production areas of Emilia-Romagna (and neighboring Lombardy-Veneto) this translates into greater operational efficiency: the volumes that can be managed safely are increased, maintaining order and cleanliness.
As concrete examples show, modular structures of this kind make it possible to create docks dedicated to various solid materials (metals, plastic, paper, organic), quickly adapting them to market needs.
Prefabricated concrete blocks in Parma, Reggio Emilia, Modena, Piacenza, Mantua and Cremona
Behind SaniBlock there is local know-how and a lot of research into sustainability.
Based in Felino, in the province of Parma, Sani Rino has been active in the construction and environmental sector since 1954. With SaniBlock it offers a solution particularly suitable for companies in Emilia-Romagna and neighboring provinces, where companies, production plants and recovery centers often need to organize spaces quickly, safely and flexibly.
In the future, thanks to the short Emilian supply chain, a SaniBlock produced near Parma could arrive anywhere in Northern Italy and drastically reduce waste materials.
