We support the installation coordination of external lightning protection systems for buildings and other structures. Depending on the approved design, these may include air-termination components, down conductors, bonding arrangements, test points, and connections to the earthing system.

The system design should account for the building’s height, geometry, occupancy, location, surrounding exposure, and applicable lightning-risk assessment requirements.

We support inspection and testing activities for earthing and lightning protection installations within the agreed project scope. Depending on the design and applicable requirements, this may include earth resistance measurements, continuity checks, bonding verification, inspection of connections, and review of lightning protection components.

Testing methods, acceptance criteria, and required records must follow the applicable standards and approved project specifications.

Earthing and lightning protection systems should be inspected periodically and after relevant events, modifications, or suspected damage. Maintenance support may include checking accessible connections, corrosion, mechanical damage, test links, conductor continuity, and surge protection device status.

Inspection frequency should be determined by the applicable standard, environmental conditions, system design, and facility maintenance plan.
