Buildings & Structures

From skyscrapers to heritage-listed churches, protection is essential for occupants, sensitive equipment and structural integrity. Effective systems reduce the risk of electronic damage, fire hazards, and operational disruptions.

The risk

Safety for modern & historic buildings

Modern buildings rely on dense electronic systems. One direct or induced strike can cascade through HVAC, panels, comms and fire-alarm networks in seconds.

Equipment & infrastructure

Damage to HVAC, electrical panels, UPS, inverters, fire alarm panels, control and communication networks.

Fire prevention

Flammable materials and stored fuels can ignite from a direct strike, leading to catastrophic fires.

Operational disruption

Business continuity, productivity and revenue impacted by even short unplanned outages.

Visitor & staff safety

Risk of injury to occupants from electrical surges, touch and step voltages, and lightning-related events within or around the building.
