What is lightning protection?

Lightning protection is protection measures against the harmful effects of lightning strikes.

A lightning protection installation consists of an external and internal lightning protection system along with a common earth-termination system to protect structures, buildings and your assets, a complete system for protection of structures against lightning, including their internal systems and contents, as well as persons, in general consisting of an LPS and SPM.

A lightning strike can have particularly serious consequences for buildings and structures due to their location, type of construction or the use for the building and structure, a school, for example, is a building where a lightning strike can have serious consequences.

What is Earthing?

Earthing systems are designed to dissipate the lightning energy into the ground mass, and used to protect you from an electric shock.

In almost every electrical installation made, earthing is used, the earthing system, also known as the grounding system, is a circuit connecting parts of the electrical system to the ground.

The earthing system thus regulates the conductors to the earth's conducting surface.

The basic protection measures:

  • Earthing and bonding
    The earthing system conducts and disperses the lightning current into the earth, the bonding network minimizes potential differences and may reduce the magnetic field.
  • Magnetic shielding and line routing
    Spatial shielding attenuates the magnetic field inside the LPZ, arising from lightning flashes direct to or nearby the structure, and reduces internal surges.
  • Coordinated SPD system
    A coordinated SPD system limits the effects of externally originated and internally created surges.
  • Isolating interfaces
    Isolating interfaces limit the effects of conducted surges on lines entering the LPZ.

New Installations

The first steps to installing lightning protection is Risk Assessment, this involves an inspection to identify risks at the location, when the assessment is completed, we next add measures in place to stop the risk from happening.

Maintenance and Repairs

Keeping your installations in top condition is a priority for us, using latest equipment and strategies all installations are certified after the repair and maintenance, ensuring quality and safety procedures are fully met and guaranteed.

Testing and Certifying of Installations

DB Boards, earthing, insulation, masts are all a part of lightning protection, but each individual component need to be professionally installed and certified by our company to ensure top safety and quality are provided.

Installation & Testing of Thatch Roof Masts

Determining how much protection is required for your thatch roof and the type of protection that best fits the job, masts or iv beams help prevent fire, electrical, surge and other damages to your thatch roofing and building.

Testing of Substations and DB Boards

Safety requires maintenance, DB boards, sub stations and more require testing and certifying to ensure the best measures are taken to prevent any hazards, we use soil testing and other methods to ensure your properly protected.

Equipotential Bonding of Equipment

Equipotential bonding is the practice of intentionally connecting all exposed metal items not designed to carry electricity in a building to protect it from electric shock, it is used to reduce the risk of equipment damage and personal injury.

Design and Drawings

Planning is the most important step in any situation, to determine the best location, equipment, methods and layout is the foundation for lightning protection to efficiently protect you and your buildings from any damages.

Surge Protection in DB boards

A surge protector is designed to help keep your electrical equipment safe from any voltage spikes, it regulates the voltage within your electrical devices through earthing so that it is always at a safe level for your equipment.
