Inspections and Compliance

Lightning protection inspections, testing, and compliance support

Regular inspection helps confirm whether a lightning protection or earthing system is still complete, bonded, measurable, and suitable for the property it protects.

What this service covers

Lightning protection and earthing systems can be damaged by weather, building work, corrosion, poor maintenance, theft, and changes to electrical infrastructure. An inspection gives property owners a clear view of what is present, what is missing, and what needs attention.

Thunder Ohms Consulting supports compliance inspections, pre-purchased building inspections, insurance inspections, maintenance inspections, reporting, and certification-related checks. The aim is to produce findings that are clear, practical, and useful for decision making.

Where issues are found, we identify the likely risk, explain the corrective action, and help align the system with recognised South African and international standards.

How we approach it

  1. Inspect visible lightning protection, bonding, and earthing components.
  2. Test and record relevant system measurements where required.
  3. Document compliance concerns, damage, missing parts, and practical risks.
  4. Provide a clear report and recommended next steps.
