It’s a given, lightning can strike industrial buildings.
As a leading specialist in lightning protection, LEC offers comprehensive, customized solutions to industrial, commercial and government facilities.
Our lighting protection system does not attract a lightning strike. Rather, it prevents the occurrence of a lightning strike. And in case of a direct lightning strike, if any electrical discharge does get through, our system provides a specified pathway on which lighting can travel and ground itself to earth. This double lighting protection leaves the structure, its occupants, and materials unharmed.
To guarantee the safety of your workers and timely and correct functioning of your equipment, we offer the following services.
Consulting
Based on photos, drawings and building plans provided by you, we conduct an in-house technical review free of cost. This review will enable you to understand what your facility should plan for.
Even an on-site evaluation is possible. This work will allow you to better understand the dangers and then analyze the risk to finally take an informed decision. The overall cost is based on the complexities of the site and could range from one day to a multi-day event for larger sites.
Design
A customized, full lightning protection solution in the form of a formal report is provided. This report and risk assessment is as per IEC and IEEE and can also include a site-specific drawing for recommended design.
Further, a detailed engineering drawing and system specification with installation process are produced and another site survey is conducted by our lightning safety engineers.
Smart ground testing is a vital part of our design service, wherein a ground audit takes place in accordance with national and international standards. This produces highly accurate results, enabling us to deliver practical solutions.
