Services
Lightning Protection Design
Our lightning protection design process begins with a comprehensive risk assessment to determine the optimal system configuration. We create tailored solutions using Franklin Rods and Faraday Cage principles, ensuring compliance with BS EN 62305. Each design incorporates air termination systems, down conductors, and earthing networks to provide complete structural protection.
Lightning Protection Installation
We install complete lightning protection systems using high-quality materials and safety-certified methods. Our team conducts site surveys to integrate systems with existing structures, utilising metal cladding or steel frames where appropriate. All installations include equipotential bonding and surge protection to safeguard electrical infrastructure.
Lightning Protection Testing
Regular testing ensures systems maintain compliance with BS EN 62305 and BS 6651 standards. We conduct resistance measurements, visual inspections, and post-strike assessments to identify defects caused by corrosion, vandalism, or wear. Clients receive detailed compliance certificates after each inspection.
