One strike can destroy servers, start a fire or put people at risk. We assess the risk, design the protection, install it and test it, then keep it working.
What's included
Lightning risk assessed to IEC 62305, then a protection design for your building.
Air terminals, down conductors and earth terminations, installed to the design.
Earth pits and electrodes built to the resistance your equipment needs.
Surge protective devices on power, solar and data lines.
Earth resistance and continuity tests, with documented results.
Scheduled inspection and retesting to keep the system effective.
Standards
Does your building need protection?
Answer a few questions for an indicative lightning risk level.
How we deliver
Site risk assessment
We survey the building, what's inside it and the ground, and assess the lightning risk.
Design
We design air terminals, down conductors, earthing and surge protection to suit.
Installation
Our crew installs the system and bonds roof plant and metalwork to it.
Testing and certification
We test earth resistance and continuity, and issue the results and certificate.
Annual retesting
We inspect and retest on a schedule, and after any strike or building work.
Our work
Lightning & earthingEarthing
Questions
No. Earthing gives fault current a safe path to ground so people don't get shocked and protection devices trip. Lightning protection catches a strike on the roof and carries it safely down the building into the earth. A complete system needs both, plus surge protection for the equipment inside.
It depends on the site and the equipment. Many sites aim for below 5 Ω; data centres and telecom rooms often call for 1 Ω or less. We design to the figure your site needs and test it at handover.
We recommend inspection and testing at least once a year, and again after a lightning strike, a fault or building work that could have disturbed the system.
Yes. We inspect and test what's installed, then report what is working, what is not and what to fix first.
We install Furse earthing and lightning protection materials, copper conductors and copper-bonded rods, and surge protective devices matched to each board.
