WHO I AM - ABOUT

“Those who fall in love with practice without science are like a sailor who enters a ship without a helm or a compass, and who never can be certain whither he is going.”

Leonardo Da Vinci, Treatise on Painting


Born in 1966. I have been brought up in my family's company operating in plumbing, where I had the opportunity to specialize in designing, making and maintenance of air-conditioning and heating systems, irrigation systems and aqueducts.

Since 1995 I have also been dealing with the design of hydraulic systems that have applications both in test tracks for vehicles and in ADAS Centers (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems). I am so passionate about these applications that I graduated in Civil Engineering at Turin Polytechnic University: "Hydraulic systems for tracks dedicated to vehicle performance tests and safe driving courses" is the title of my thesis".

Through my career and thanks to the combination of hard studying and experience on site, I have gained a remarkable level of know-how, that allows me to ensure project outcomes meet buyers’ expectations. I use both common products easily available on the market and ad hoc components, that I design myself and made by specialized mechanical workshops.


Main Customers in the field "Test tracks for vehicles and ADAS Centres:

• ASC (Pista di Quattroruote) - Vairano di Vidigulfo (PV) - Italy

• Nuovo Polo Fieristico di Milano - Rho-Pero (MI) - Italy

• Circuito Tazio Nuvolari - Cervesina (PV) - Italy

Tracks with rain simulation of constant and variable intensity

Tracks for homologation and braking tests on wet surfaces with constant or differentiated grip

Aquaplaning course with adjustable water height

Water walls with nozzles and continuous blade (barrier effect)


Technical advice Offered:

• Preliminary, final and executive project

• Economic evaluation of projects

• Indications for the electric system and for complementary works

PARTNERS

The design of hydraulic systems for vehicle test tracks and ADAS centers involves multiple areas.

Without the help of Companies that produce mechanical, hydraulic, electrical and electronic components, which have accepted to travel even unexplored roads, I would have never been able to create the systems described on this site, and to design even more advanced ones.
