Protect Lightning Strikes When Construction is Large
n approach is necessary for the people and worker safety from electric and fire hazards at construction sites and plants. Lightning and Surge protection installation plays a vital role in these areas as people contact heavy equipment and metal surfaces, electrical machinery, data and power systems. The setup must be comprehensive and technologically advanced for an existing large construction area or new electric protection. Safety compliance has become essential owing to the level of sophistication and complexity, further the plant's exposure to dangerous and unpredictable environments at all times.
We have successfully provided electrical safety after conducting proper risk assessment and site analysis to working plants or under construction plants and industrial sites for years. We have experience and expertise that have enabled us to set new standards for efficient and reliable electrical safety provisions.
Below is How We Have Protected Large Plants and Construction Sites From Electric Hazards:
1. Risk Assessment and Designing Lightning Protection System to Applicable Standards:
According to the norm, we utilize versatile plan instruments to survey all misfortunes and assess the lightning strike thickness of the design to decide the idea of assurance with which the entire structure can be sufficiently protected with proper lightning protection system installation. The lightning protection system designing can be efficiently done using our user-friendly software. The nature of the lightning protection system and the number of air termination required can be evaluated.
As per IEC 62305 guidelines, a pioneering age-old practice using conventional air termination or lightning arrester network, Downconductor and Maintenance-free earthing system is recommended. This is a proven technology and is still in training. The air terminal is mounted on the pinnacle point of the structure to be ensured according to the plan. It is electrically connected to the establishing framework through the down conduit.
2. Surge Suppression System is Mandatory with the External Lightning Protection System:
The increase in the previously steady voltage level is a frequent happening which poses a significant risk for equipment indoors. This increase in the voltage level is an unprotected electrical condition commonly known as Surge. These interruptions in the average power flow enter the devices due to compact and complex system configurations and wiring. This abnormal increase in the average or prescribed voltage level can cause any number of problems to the associated device. Installation of protector devices adhering to mandatory standards IEC 62305 and IEC 61643 can effectively filter the voltage transients minimize the risk of that gradual equipment failure, system downtime or fire hazards.
3. Get Earthing System Consistent with Mandatory Code and Standards:
The essential part of every electric protection system is the earthing system installation, which provides a stable platform for sensitive electric/ electronic components designed to disconnect any fault occurrences and divert them to the earth crust's conducting part. Construction of an earthing pit and its further connection to the metallic parts of the network should be done by properly utilizing the right technology. Industry standards choose the substitution of Traditional Pipe Plate Earthing with Salt Charcoal where the standards recommend the Maintenance Free chemical earthing System contingent on latest available technology strictly complying with the IS 3043: 2018 and National building code 2016 in which we will determine and work on the soil structure, earth grid designing, fault current calculation, etc. We have another leading service of earthing grid designing and soil structure studies using tools such as CDEGS, the finest software available, ETAP, etc., for RSS, SP and SSP.
