Lightning Protection Surveys, Bureau of Meteorology Sites (2018)

Our extensive experience with lightning problems was utilised by Australia’s Bureau of Meteorology for improving lightning mitigation at radar sites that had experienced recurring equipment damage from thunderstorms. Our consultants conducted detailed investigations at both locations, performing soil resistivity tests, earth grid continuity and resistance tests, surge and transient protection inspections, and direct-strike assessments. The Bureau was provided with comprehensive recommendations and proposed actions to mitigate the ongoing issues.
