Millions of dollars are spent each year as a result of lightning damage to businesses. Every industry is vulnerable to lightning damage, fires, fried equipment, injury, downtime and other forms of disruption and loss.
We understand the damage that unpredictable weather conditions like a lightning strike can cause. That is why we have designed effective, high-quality industrial strength lightning protection systems customized for our clients to protect their property and mitigate losses.
Our lightning protection systems works in several different ways to protect your business. One of the important benefits of LEC’s technology are that these systems compliment traditional legacy protection systems with modern patented capabilities that are capable of preventing lightning from striking within a protected area.
Back in the 1700’s when Ben Franklin invented the lightning rod, no one worried about lightning causing a chemical tank to explode or shutting down electronic controls to a nuclear reactor. Technology has raised the stakes since the first lightning rods were invented.
Our lightning protection solutions utilize the appropriate technology for the protection needed for our client’s onsite requirements. In some cases, our modern high-quality lightning rods may be used to provide a safe path to ground for certain assets while other more important assets may utilize our DAS solution which prevents lightning from striking within a given area.
Lightning strikes, even if safely grounded through a lightning rod, generate a strong electromagnetic pulse in buildings. This creates a surge effect that harms low voltage and essential electronic systems. These may require surge suppression systems as a part of the overall solution.
A complete solution is engineered by LEC to use the right products, lightning rods, DAS, and Surge Suppressors to provide a full function high availability lightning protection solution for the facility footprint.
Whether you are looking to install a new lightning rod protection system or repair your existing lightning system, we can help by:
- Reducing the risk to human life
- Reduce physical damage to the structure
- Reduce maintenance cost
- Protect sensitive electronic equipment and other company assets
- Prevent explosions, electric shocks, and ignition of fire
We ensure reliable, effective and safe lightning rod protection solutions and we will be happy to talk to you through our full range of services.
