Lightning protection and earthing systems
Protection of buildings
We undertake the comprehensive planning, professional installation, detailed documentation and thorough inspection of lightning protection and earthing systems. These tasks are crucial to ensure the safe operation of buildings and systems against the dangers of lightning strikes and electrical surges. We always comply with the highest standards and take into account all relevant standards and regulations, such as DIN EN 62305 and VDE 0185-305, which are binding for the design and operation of lightning protection systems.
In the area of earthing systems, we ensure that all earthing cables, points and systems are correctly dimensioned and installed to guarantee the safe discharge of currents in the event of a lightning strike or an electrical fault. This includes the selection of suitable materials as well as the precise planning and implementation of the earthing systems to ensure optimum functionality.
External lightning protection, which serves as the first protective measure against lightning strikes, is realised by us through the professional installation of lightning conductors, air-termination rods and earthing connections. We attach particular importance to careful dimensioning and positioning of the lightning protection components in order to guarantee the best possible safety for the entire system.
Another essential part of our work is potential equalisation. This serves to equalise different electrical potentials within a system in order to minimise the risk of sparking and damage to sensitive devices. We integrate all relevant potential equalisation components into the overall system and ensure that all conductive parts are connected correctly.
We also take surge protection measures into account when planning and installing lightning protection systems. These measures protect electronic and electrical devices from the effects of sudden voltage peaks that can be caused by lightning strikes or other faults. We install appropriate surge protection devices and systems to increase the safety of the systems and prevent failures caused by overvoltage.
All work carried out is carefully documented by us in order to provide a traceable and verifiable basis for compliance with standards and for subsequent maintenance and inspection of the systems. In addition, we carry out regular tests and inspections to ensure that the lightning protection and earthing systems function perfectly and to recognise and rectify any defects at an early stage.
