Our design approach
Our lightning protection systems are designed fully tailored to the needs of the structure. We understand that every building and its operations pose a unique set of risks and requirements. Lightning protection system design usually follows a risk assessment. Have you missed this step? Find out more about risk assessments.
Every design is created using BS EN IEC 62305 principles and we take a holistic approach which incorporates external and internal protection, including:
- lightning capture zone analysis of the structure to determine strike exposure
- air termination system design (rods, conductors, meshes)
- down conductor routing for optimal current dissipation
- earthing system design to achieve safe resistance levels
- surge protection integration for electrical and data systems
