Lightning protection inspection
At Smart Era Consulting we perform comprehensive lightning protection inspections in industrial, commercial and residential buildings, placing special emphasis on the condition of the air-termination system, the down-conductor system and the earthing. Our service includes EPH checks, surge protection testing and the issuance of an official inspection report.
Fast. Safe. Standards-compliant lightning protection.
A lightning protection inspection is now an essential part of every modern operation: we carry out a comprehensive on-site survey, prepare a detailed condition assessment of the air-termination system, down-conductor system and earthing, and check the EPH system and the compliance of surge protection devices. From design and preparation through installation and system integration to commissioning and ongoing maintenance, we provide the complete service. All work is carried out in accordance with the relevant standards and regulations, and we issue a detailed inspection report on the findings and recommended measures.
Lightning protection system design
Based on our on-site survey, we design the optimal layout of the air-termination and down-conductor systems, determine the required parameters for earthing and define the EPH connections necessary for safe operation.
Surge protection and monitoring
We integrate comprehensive surge protection solutions and monitoring systems that protect the building’s electrical network and critical equipment. Our systems reduce the risk of damage from lightning strikes or grid disturbances, and enable remote supervision, reporting and the data recording required for the inspection report.
Installation and commissioning
We undertake complete implementation of lightning protection systems: installation of air-termination systems and down-conductors, earthing works, creation of EPH connections and installation of surge protection devices. After on-site measurements and tests, we perform the commissioning protocols and hand over a detailed inspection report at delivery.
LIGHTNING PROTECTION SAFELY AND PROFESSIONALLY
A reliable lightning protection system is not made up of external air-terminations alone: the air-termination system, the down-conductors, appropriate earthing, EPH connections and surge protection together ensure the protection of the facility. In design we take into account the building structure, environmental conditions and the requirements for future expandability so that we can provide an effective, standards-compliant solution in the long term.
Air-termination system design
When designing the air-termination system we determine the appropriate fixing points, materials and structural solutions that ensure controlled dissipation of lightning energy. We pay attention to corrosion resistance, mechanical durability and compatibility with existing building structures.
Down-conductor system and earthing
Designing the down-conductor system and earthing is crucial for the safe dissipation of lightning energy. We design the conductor routes, placement and sizing of earthing electrodes, and carry out the necessary earthing and resistance measurements.
EPH inspection and earthing measurements
Our EPH inspections and earthing measurements ensure that protection systems comply with technical requirements. We perform continuity and resistance measurements, document the results and, in case of faults, recommend corrective actions, then prepare the official inspection report.
Lightning protection for apartment buildings
For apartment buildings we pay special attention to protecting shared roof areas and utilities, as well as residents’ safety. We offer solutions that enable cost accounting and installation with minimal intervention, and we support property managers’ professional decisions with EPH inspections and an inspection report.
Surge protection and monitoring
Our surge protection devices (SPDs) protect electrical equipment against grid disturbances and indirect lightning effects. We install surge protection on incoming lines and distribution rails, integrate monitoring systems and ensure standard-compliant inspection and documentation of the devices.
Electrical network and protection
Proper sizing of the electrical network and protection coordination are essential for effective lightning protection. We check connection capacity, cabling and the coordination of protective devices to ensure the network is stable and protected against damage caused by lightning and overvoltages.
