These are the primary components of a lightning protection system which work together to prevent lightning damage to your structure:
Most people don’t understand the damage a lightning strike can inflict until they are suffering the consequences. This is especially true for industrial settings. Failure to invest in industrial and commercial lightning protection leaves your building vulnerable to damage, your employees vulnerable to injury, and your profits in a tenuous spot.

Our approach utilizes several technologies, including lightning rods, grounding technologies and surge suppression. This combination can effectively route a strike’s force away from the building and prevent a disaster. There are several reasons industrial clients should consider this, including:
Lightning could destroy stock at warehouse

How the System Works
Lightning protection systems are designed to protect a structure and provide a specified path to harness and safely ground the supercharged current of the lightning bolt. The system neither attracts nor repels a strike but receives the strike and routes it harmlessly into the earth, thus discharging the dangerous electrical event.
Investment in a lightning protection system will protect your organization’s investment in its property and equipment. In addition to structural protection, surge arresters and suppressors are devices designed to protect a building’s electronics and software systems from harmful lightning surges.
A direct hit to a building, a nearby strike to a power line, or even a voltage surge originating from your utility company can cause a fire in the electrical service panel boxes or seriously damage equipment by frying insulation and sensitive microprocessor components. The combined technology of structural protection (lightning rods) and surge protection minimize damage, while providing the highest level of protection for properties.
When it comes to the incredible power of lightning, the bottom line is certified industrial and commercial lightning protection systems in New Jersey save lives and money!
