Active Lightning Protection

Active lightning protection systems for different types of properties

Active lightning protection is a solution that uses a specialised active air terminal. The suitability and configuration of the system are determined after assessing the structure, dimensions and use of the property, the surrounding environment and applicable technical requirements.

Active lightning protection solutions may be considered for private homes, commercial properties, manufacturing buildings, warehouses and other structures depending on the specific situation.

A complete solution may include not only the air terminal, but also down conductors and an earthing system, as well as internal surge protection measures where required.

SIA KULMEN provides professional site assessment, system design, installation and the required inspections.
