Comprehensive Lightning Protection System

Safeguarding Your Assets, Ensuring Business Continuity.

Lightning strikes are unpredictable and can cause devastating damage, leading to structural fires, equipment failure, data loss, and severe injury or even loss of life. Our state-of-the-art Lightning Protection System (LPS) offers a robust, multi-layered defense, meticulously designed and engineered to protect your structures, valuable equipment, and most importantly, the people within them.

What is a Lightning Protection System?

An LPS is an integrated system designed to intercept a lightning strike, conduct its immense electrical energy safely to the earth, and dissipate it without causing harm to the protected structure or its occupants. It also includes protection against secondary effects like surges on electrical and data lines.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Advanced Air Termination: Efficiently intercepts direct lightning strikes, preventing damage to the building's fabric.
• High-Capacity Down Conductors: Safely channels massive lightning currents away from the structure and its sensitive internal systems.
• Low-Resistance Earthing/Grounding Network: Dissipates lightning energy rapidly and effectively into the earth, minimizing potential for step and touch potentials.
• Integrated Surge Protection Devices (SPDs): Protects sensitive electronic equipment from transient overvoltages induced by lightning, both direct and indirect.
• Modular & Scalable Design: Customizable to meet the specific requirements and risk profile of any structure, from small residential buildings to complex industrial facilities.
• Durable & Weather-Resistant Materials: Constructed from premium-grade copper, stainless steel, and aluminum for maximum longevity and performance in all environmental conditions.
• Compliance with Global Standards: Engineered and installed to meet or exceed international and local safety standards, ensuring highest levels of protection and insurability.

Components of Our System:

1. Air Termination System (Lightning Rods):
   • Franklin Rods: Traditional, robust copper or stainless steel rods strategically placed on the highest points of a structure.
   • Meshed Cages/Conductors: A network of conductors forming a protective cage over the roof.
   • Early Streamer Emission (ESE) Systems (where permissible by local standards): Designed to extend the range of protection by initiating an upward leader earlier.
2. Down Conductor System:
   • High-conductivity braided copper or aluminum tapes/cables, securely routed from air terminals to the earthing system, minimizing bends and maximizing current-carrying capacity.
3. Earthing / Grounding System:
   • Comprising interconnected copper rods, plates, or grids buried in the earth, ensuring a low-impedance path for lightning current dissipation. Exothermically welded connections ensure long-term integrity.
4. Surge Protection Devices (SPDs):
   • Type 1 SPDs: Installed at the main service entrance to protect against direct lightning currents and severe indirect surges.
   • Type 2 SPDs: Installed in sub-distribution boards to protect against residual lightning energy and switching transients.
   • Type 3 SPDs: Point-of-use protection for sensitive equipment (e.g., computers, telecom gear).
   • Data & Signal Line SPDs: Protection for network cables, telephone lines, CCTV, and other communication systems.
5. Bonding & Equipotentialization:
   • Ensures that all metallic parts within the structure are at the same electrical potential during a lightning event, preventing dangerous "side flashes" and potential ignition sources.
