Lightning Protection Systems
Lightning protection systems for South African properties
A lightning protection system gives lightning a controlled path to earth so people, buildings, electrical systems, and assets are better protected during severe weather.
What this service covers
Thunder Ohms Consulting provides lightning protection system services for properties that need practical risk reduction, technical oversight, and documented compliance. The work can include new system design, risk assessment, upgrades to existing installations, inspection, testing, and certification support.
The right solution depends on the structure, roof layout, soil conditions, existing earthing, electrical infrastructure, and the way the site is used. We look at the full path from air termination through down conductors and bonding to the final earth termination system.
Our focus is to build or improve systems that are suitable for the site, aligned with recognised SANS and IEC principles, and clear enough for property owners, facility managers, insurers, and contractors to understand.
How we approach it
- Review the site, structure, exposure, and existing protection.
- Identify practical risks, compliance gaps, and installation constraints.
- Recommend a site-specific lightning protection approach.
- Inspect, test, document, and support certification where required.
