Lightning Protection Products

Lightning protection is required almost everywhere! Virtually all populated regions have varying incidences of lightning strikes. In fact, facilities outside the lightning belt should at least be minimally protected.

Traditionally, the lightning protection design has been installed on tall buildings and in recent years, more commonly found on towers and their antenna, drilling rigs, wind turbines, tanks, environmental monitor masts, and industrial structures.

The incorporation of a lightning protection system is often the results of an owner’s desire to reduce downtime in his facility. However, the lightning protection system is one of the first items eliminated when project budgets are cut.

The good news is as an architect is tackling a myriad of global challenges, including one posed by increasingly unstable weather patterns, more architects and planners are taking a build and protect approach to design and construction.

A robust lightning protection design system is the first step to ensure safety to human beings, prevent damages to assets and properties.

LPS design involves:

1.       Site evaluation and consulting – an initial technical review is conducted to understand what your facility should plan for. Thereafter an on-site evaluation is done by our lightning solution expert.

2.       Risk assessment – our in-house team determines the level of protection required for your facility. This includes site survey and various data collection

3.       Determining the level of protection - based on the data collected and the assessment report, the level of protection required for your facility is determined.

4.       Arriving at BOQ and specification – a design study specific to DAS is engineered. It provides a more detailed and scientific evaluation for your site’s lightning safety exposure and options for lightning protection design.

5.       Smart ground testing – this is an advanced ground audit system that produces highly accurate results

6.       Material supply & installation – LEC offers full installation services, dependent on the project. We will even train your crew, should your company opt to engage a sub-contractor.

7.       Testing & Maintenance – every product is tested before installation and yearly recertification is needed to maintain the terms of the no-strike warranty issued with every Dissipation Array System.
