SERVICE INFORMATION
Lightning protection, often referred to as lightning rod systems or lightning conductors, is a set of measures and devices designed to safeguard structures and their occupants from the destructive forces of lightning strikes. Lightning protection systems primarily serve to prevent lightning-related fires, structural damage, and electrical system disruptions. These systems typically include the following components:
- Lightning Rods (Air Terminals): Lightning rods are strategically placed on the highest points of a structure to intercept lightning strikes. They provide a path for the electrical current to safely travel to the ground.
- Conductors: Copper or aluminum conductors connect the lightning rods to the ground. These conductors guide the lightning’s electrical discharge safely downward.
- Grounding Systems: A grounding system disperses the electrical energy from the lightning strike safely into the ground, reducing the risk of damage to the structure.
- Surge Protection Devices: Surge protectors are installed within a building’s electrical system to divert excess electrical energy from a lightning strike away from sensitive equipment and appliances.
The primary functions of lightning protection systems are to:
- Prevent structural fires caused by lightning strikes.
- Safeguard occupants by diverting lightning’s electrical energy away from the building.
- Protect sensitive electronic equipment from power surges.
- Ensure the structural integrity of the building by preventing lightning-induced damage.
Lightning protection systems are particularly important in areas prone to thunderstorms and lightning strikes. They help minimize the risks associated with this natural phenomenon and enhance the overall safety and resilience of a structure.
Our mission is to consistently embody reliability, integrity, and professionalism in every project we take on. We are wholeheartedly dedicated to customer satisfaction and are focused on establishing a reputation, fostering loyalty, and nurturing enduring relationships within our network.
