With over 30 years industry experience, we've seen it all. Our passion for this industry is unparalleled so we decided to make it our mission to bring education, knowledge and quality workmanship to clients across the UK. We feel its important for anyone who is responsible for a lightning protection system to have the relevant knowledge to understand them. For this reason our test reports are indepth but digestible for clients and customers that don't specialise in the industry.
Many people are misinformed about the physics of lightning and for this reason it's best to seek professional advice when considering LPS. Our risk assessments can help you make the right choice for your circumstances. The most important risk to consider is known as R1 - Risk of loss or permanent injury to human life. This will always be our main focus when assessing the risks.
If your site is under DSEAR regs then you may be required under legislation to mitigate the risks as best as possible and is likely to include an isolated lightning protection system to cover ATEX areas of your site. Call us today to discuss your requirements!
Lightning protection systems, designed and maintained correctly, will capture and divert lightning energy to earth. This starts with the air-termination system on your roof and will share the current via all the systems down-conductors and finally reach the earth termination network to safely dissipate the energy to ground.
Part of an effective LPS is surge protection devices or SPDs. All systems are recommended to have at least a Type 1 SPD installed and further recommended to have coordinated SPM (surge protection measures). With further Type 2 and Type 3 SPDs your internal electronic infrastructure will be safe from transient overvoltage. Get in touch today to discuss your surge protection requirements or arrange a survey.
