The FAMA anti-seismic device was first installed in 2016, in the Thessaloniki metro project in Greece. It was officially presented at WTC 2017 in Bergen, Norway.

The special features of the anti-seismic device are:

  • A metal spring part suitable for absorbing dislocations between contiguous rings
  • A ductile rod to increase the overall deformability of the system
  • The system is easy to install
  • Installation of the system in the segment does not significantly alter its normal preparation steps
  • The devices, for the preparations in the segment suitable for receiving the system, can be applied
  • In the pre-existing formwork
  • The modification of the formwork is reversible
