Lightning Conductor Engineers
High-Quality Lightning Protection Systems
Lightning can cause extensive damage to a property, particularly with high structures. With more than 100 lightning flashes and 2,000 storms occurring across the world every second, it is vital that your property is protected from potential weather damage.
At Wiltshire Steeplejacks, our engineers can design and install a tailor made conduction system to remove the threat lightning can cause to your property in accordance with the new BS EN 62305:2006 standards.
The new standards replace the BS 6651:1999 standards for 'protection of structures against lightning'. You can also contact us
for high maintenance work in Trowbridge and locations across Wiltshire, Somerset, Dorset, Hampshire, Berkshire, Oxfordshire, Gloucestershire and across the UK.
General Principles Of BS EN 62305:2006
The BS EN 62305:2006 standards outline the types of damage that can be incurred due to lightning and the need for protection. Risks identified include:
- Loss of human life
- Loss of service to the public
- Loss of cultural heritage
- Loss of economic value
Lightning Protection Systems (LPS) can reduce the physical damage caused by a lightning strike to a structure. This intercepts the strike and disperses it safely to the earth. Details on LPS installation are listed in BS EN 62305-3.
Step voltage threats can be reduced by means of a meshed conductor earthing arrangement which we can assemble.
