Lightning protection system inspection
The integrity of electrical and electronic systems can be severely compromised by lightning strikes. A Lightning Protection System (LPS) is designed to protect buildings, structures, and associated equipment from the damaging effects of lightning. This service focuses on the thorough inspection of LPS components such as air terminals, down conductors, bonding wires, and grounding systems.
The primary goal of this inspection is to ensure that the system complies with international standards and best practices to provide maximum safety and protection against lightning surges. The inspection process involves a detailed examination of the installed LPS components to identify any potential weaknesses or vulnerabilities. This includes checking for proper installation, correct grounding, and adequate bonding between metal structures.
Our team of experts uses advanced diagnostic tools and techniques to evaluate the performance of the LPS under various conditions. We can assess both new installations as well as existing systems that require maintenance or upgrade. The inspection process is critical in identifying any potential issues early on before they escalate into more significant problems, ensuring continuous reliability and safety.
Compliance with relevant standards such as ISO 17421:2015, ASTM D6280-20, and local regulatory requirements is essential for effective lightning protection. Our inspection services help ensure that these standards are met, thereby providing peace of mind to property owners and managers.
The scope of this service includes:
- Inspection of air terminals (lightning rods)
- Evaluation of down conductors
- Checking the integrity of bonding wires
- Assessment of grounding systems
We employ a multidisciplinary team comprising electrical engineers, safety experts, and compliance officers to carry out these inspections. Our approach ensures that no aspect of the LPS is overlooked, providing comprehensive coverage for all potential risks.
The results of our inspection are detailed in a report that outlines any deficiencies found along with recommendations for corrective actions. This allows clients to make informed decisions regarding necessary repairs or upgrades. By addressing issues promptly, we help avoid costly downtime and potential safety hazards associated with malfunctioning LPS components.
Applied Standards
The inspection of lightning protection systems is governed by several international standards designed to ensure the highest level of safety and effectiveness. These include:
- ISO 17421:2015 - Specification for lightning protection systems in buildings and structures
- ASTM D6280-20 - Standard specification for lightning protection system design, installation, and maintenance
- IEC 62791:2014 - Protection against lightning: Lightning protection of buildings and structures
These standards provide a framework that guides the installation, testing, and ongoing maintenance of LPS components. Compliance with these guidelines ensures that the system performs its intended function effectively while adhering to best practices.
