Services
Lightning Protection
Our comprehensive lightning protection systems combine conventional rods, early streamer emission, and static dissipation technologies to create customized solutions. Each system includes structural protection, power line safeguards, and point-of-use equipment protection. We engineer systems that meet UL Master Label Certification and 18 international standards, ensuring safety for personnel and infrastructure in high-risk environments.
Surge Suppression
Designed to UL 1449 and IEC 61643 standards, our surge protection devices prevent electrical damage from lightning-induced transients. Systems protect communication, control, and automation equipment through multi-stage protection strategies. We implement solutions that meet IEEE and IEC requirements for global applications in industrial and commercial settings.
Grounding Engineering
Our chemical ground rod systems maintain stable pH and moisture levels for consistent conductivity. Engineered to UL 467 standards, these systems ensure low-resistance grounding for lightning dissipation. We design solutions that adapt to soil conditions through electrolyte release, maintaining optimal performance in varied environmental conditions.
Testing Maintenance
We provide compliance audits, performance testing, and preventive maintenance for existing systems. Our engineers conduct site surveys, generate detailed reports with photo documentation, and verify system integrity. Services ensure continued compliance with NFPA 780 and other regulatory requirements through regular inspections and system optimization.
ThorGuard Systems
ThorGuard monitors electrostatic potential to predict cloud-to-ground strikes. Our early warning systems provide alerts before lightning activity occurs, allowing facility shutdowns and personnel safety measures. The technology measures time-calculated strike probabilities, offering critical protection for outdoor operations and sensitive infrastructure.
