LIGHTNING PROTECTION SYSTEMS

Lightning Protection Systems (LPS) are engineered safety solutions designed to protect buildings, structures, and people from the damaging effects of lightning strikes. They safely intercept lightning, conduct the electrical energy through a controlled path, and disperse it into the ground, reducing the risk of fire, structural damage, electrical failure, and personal injury.

Direct Strike’s high‑performance systems are designed, installed, and commissioned by specialist teams. We adopt nationally and internationally recognised design methods and standards, including EN 62305.

From initial site surveys to final commissioning, every stage is managed to deliver consistent, high‑quality outcomes. With an uncompromising focus on safety, workmanship, and compliance, our earthing and lightning protection solutions provide long‑term reliability for your people, assets, and operations.

COMPONENTS OF A LIGHTNING PROTECTION SYSTEM

A complete lightning protection system relies on three key components working together to safely capture, conduct, and disperse lightning strikes.

At Direct Strike, every system we install is designed and built in line with international standards to guarantee performance and compliance. Our specialist engineers ensure each element is precisely designed, installed, and tested, protecting your people, property, and infrastructure from the dangers of severe electrical storms.

1. Air Termination Network

2. Down Conductors

3. Earthing System

Captures lightning strikes and directs the energy into the protection system, ensuring safe distribution to the down conductors.

Provide a secure path for the lightning current, carrying it safely from the air termination network to the earthing system.

Dissipates the lightning energy harmlessly into the ground. Designed to meet international standards, ensuring safety, compliance, and reliable performance.
