Testing & Verification

Ensuring Continued Protection, Year After Year

A Lightning Protection System is a shield that stands guard 24/7. But like any shield, it requires regular inspection to ensure its integrity. Our Testing & Verification service is a comprehensive annual health check for your LPS, designed to detect any degradation or damage and ensure your facility remains fully protected and compliant.

Why Ongoing Verification is Essential

A "set and forget" approach to lightning protection is a significant risk. Over time, systems can be compromised, leaving your assets vulnerable without your knowledge.

  • Environmental Degradation: Components are exposed to weather, leading to potential corrosion, loosening of connections, and physical damage that can impair performance.
  • Structural Modifications: Any changes to your building, such as new rooftop HVAC units, antennas, or structural additions, can interfere with your LPS and must be properly integrated and bonded.
  • Compliance and Insurance Mandates: Most international standards (including NFPA 780) and insurance policies require periodic inspection and testing to maintain compliance and coverage.
  • Detecting Hidden Faults: Our specialized equipment can detect issues like increased earth resistance that are invisible to the naked eye but can cripple your system's effectiveness.

Our Meticulous Approach: The Verification Process

We follow a systematic process to assess the complete health of your LPS, comparing its current state to its original commissioning data to track performance over time.

Step
1
Comprehensive Visual Inspection

Our experts walk the entire system, from the air terminals on the roof to the earth electrodes in the ground. We inspect for any signs of corrosion, physical damage, loose connections, and check for any unauthorized modifications to the building.

Step
2
Electrical Performance Testing

We conduct critical electrical tests to verify the system's performance. This includes measuring the resistance of the earth-termination system and performing continuity tests on all down-conductors to ensure a continuous, unbroken path to the ground.

Step
3
Bonding and Connection Integrity Check

We physically verify the tightness and security of all connections, clamps, and bonds. This ensures that the system remains a single, solid electrical unit capable of handling the immense energy of a lightning strike.

Step
4
Detailed Reporting & Certification

Following the inspection, we provide a comprehensive "System Health Report." This document details all findings, test results, and visual assessments. If the system is fully compliant, we issue a Certificate of Inspection for your records. If deficiencies are found, we provide a clear, itemized list of recommendations for rectification.

The Advantage: Maintained Safety & Compliance

Our Testing & Verification service provides the ongoing confidence that your shield is as strong as the day it was commissioned.

Detailed System Health Report

A clear, concise report on the condition of your LPS with all test data.

Maintained State of Compliance

Ensure you continually meet the requirements of your insurance provider and regulatory bodies.

Proactive Fault Detection

Identify and rectify small issues before they become major system failures.

Updated Maintenance Log

We provide the necessary documentation to build a complete service history for your system, a valuable asset for facility management.
