Collection of Materials for Lightning Protection of Office Buildings

Office buildings are an important part of a city. Damage of equipment located on the roof by the lightning strike or fire in the building are not acceptable. The lightning protection for this type of building is mandatory. The used building solutions vary from brick or assembled reinforced concrete structures to futuristic designs made of glass and steel. It is challenging to develop lightning protection systems. We should take into account many aspects affecting the future system.

We have prepared a collection of solutions, designs, and information required to develop lightning protection and grounding systems for office buildings on your own. Please see it in details.

Designs and solutions:

1. Lightning Protection Design for an Administration Buildin
2. Lightning Protection Design for an Expocenter Exhibition Complex
3. Exemplary Lightning Protection System for an Office Building of a Large Company
4. Lightning Protection for an Office Building with Chillers Installed on the Roof
5. Lightning Protection for a Glass Building
