What is a Commercial Lightning Protection System?
A commercial lightning protection system consists of several integral components: the lightning rods, conductor cable, lightning arrestors, and ground rods. When building lightning proection systems, our specialty is major construction projects. Along with commercial lightning protection systems, we also provide design, testing, CAD submittals, UL Master Label Inspections, surge protection surveys, and highly trained and certified IBEW labor. Safety is paramount.
While lightning rods help protect a structure and all occupants from a direct strike, a complete lightning protection system, including utility bonding, proper grounding, and surge protection, helps prevent harmful electrical surges and possible fires caused by lightning entering a structure via wire and pipes.
A complete lightning protection system for commercial buildings includes lightning rods, conductor cables, arrestors, ground electrodes, utility bonding clamps (for water pipes, sprinklers, gas and/or oil pipes), and surge protection. This could be beneficial to different roofing types as well including metal roofs. The type of design is incredibly important when providing lightning protection systems for commercial buildings.
