Lightning Protection System
Protect your buildings, equipment and personnel
Why is it important for buildings to be protected?
A Lightning Protection System (LPS) is important because lightning can cause severe damage to structures, equipment, and people. Here’s why LPS is critical:
Lightning strikes can lead to fires, explosions, or the weakening of building materials. LPS intercepts lightning, directing it safely into the ground, preventing this damage.
Without an LPS, lightning strikes can harm or kill occupants through electrical discharge, fire, or structural collapse. LPS greatly reduces this risk, ensuring the safety of people inside the building.
Lightning can cause power surges, damaging sensitive equipment like computers, communication systems, and industrial controls. LPS prevents these surges, reducing equipment failures and saving on replacement costs.
Repairs and reconstruction after a lightning strike can be expensive and time-consuming. LPS helps prevent these costs by protecting against damage in the first place.
Many building codes and insurance companies require lightning protection systems, particularly for high-risk buildings like hospitals, factories, and historical structures. Having an LPS in place can help meet these regulations.
Facilities such as airports, power plants, communication towers, and data centers rely on uninterrupted service. LPS ensures that these facilities remain operational and safe, even in stormy weather conditions.
