Services
Lightning Protection
Design and installation of BS EN 62305-compliant lightning protection systems. Our solutions include conventional conductors and Early Streamer Emission systems for structures requiring alternative protection methods. Systems undergo rigorous testing and commissioning to ensure compliance with British Standards. We conduct risk assessments to determine appropriate protection levels for commercial and industrial buildings.
Surge Protection
Comprehensive surge protection for electrical systems against lightning-induced transients and switching surges. We install protection devices for mains power supplies, data networks, and telecoms equipment. Our solutions prevent equipment degradation and costly downtime while maintaining compliance with safety regulations. Free site surveys identify specific protection requirements for each installation.
Earthing Systems
Design and installation of specialist earthing systems including generator earthing, sub-station earthing, and deep drilled borehole systems. We conduct soil resistivity surveys to determine optimal configurations. Our exothermic welding techniques create durable, high-conductivity connections that meet BS 7430 standards for electrical safety and equipment protection.
Testing Maintenance
Annual testing and maintenance services for existing lightning protection systems. We check earth resistances at 11-month intervals to account for seasonal variations. Our engineers inspect components for corrosion and verify system integrity after suspected lightning strikes. Long-term contracts offer cost savings and guaranteed maintenance schedules.
Rope Access
IRATA-certified rope access services for high-level maintenance and installations. Our specialists perform tasks including fall arrest system installations, safety inspections, and geo-technical surveys. This method reduces costs compared to traditional access methods while maintaining strict safety standards for complex structures.
Questions
What lightning protection systems do you offer?
We provide BS EN 62305-compliant systems including conventional lightning conductors and Early Streamer Emission (ESE) solutions for structures where standard systems aren't viable.
Do you provide surge protection services?
Yes, we offer comprehensive surge protection for mains power, data networks, and telecoms equipment using components from leading manufacturers.
Are your engineers certified for high-level work?
Our rope access technicians hold IRATA certifications and follow strict safety protocols for high-level maintenance and installations.
How often should lightning systems be tested?
Annual testing is recommended, with 11-month intervals advised to account for seasonal variations in earth resistance.
Can you assess lightning risk for new buildings?
Yes, we conduct detailed risk assessments using specialist software to determine appropriate protection levels for new structures.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
We provide long-term maintenance contracts (up to five years) with cost savings and guaranteed annual inspections.
