    Effect of Lightning Strikes on a Building

    The sky is a bit dark round here, i think ill take shelter in the van, i know they say it never strikes the same place twice but i dont want to be the exception that proves the rule lol Looks like they need a proper inspection of the lp system then. I can see what looks like copper tape poking...

    Effect of Lightning Strikes on a Building

    Well it looks like my information was wrong, the manager has just got in an confimed that there was an lps but doesnt know wether it 'works' or not. I am poking around the hard to access parts of the loft now and look what ive found

    Effect of Lightning Strikes on a Building

    There are 7 of the pits around, i think as you said, the pits were there for the lps but it was never installed for some reason. Ive tried to trace the copper tape with no luck. There is no structure on the roof that resembles an lps system. Darkwood, i have tried phoning the number but it...

    Ive just seen your edit, any speculation as to why the rods are installed but no conductors to the roof?

    Effect of Lightning Strikes on a Building

    Well that shoots my theory down. That didnt even cross my mind, i saw the company name and instantly thought it must be to do with an lps. Cheers, Tim

    Effect of Lightning Strikes on a Building

    Right, ive found something interesting. As previously stated i know very little about lightning protection systems. The pic is of what i think (and judging by the company name i am right) is a pit to send the lightning strike to the ground directly and not through the building. My question...

    Effect of Lightning Strikes on a Building

    Emp was my guess for the damaged electronics, i still cant understand how nothing is damaged, ive found 1 screw with some burn marks, but that could well be a lazy maintanence guy who shorted out a cable. The fire alarm system is being sorted by other contractors, they have 24hour watch on...

    Effect of Lightning Strikes on a Building

    Quick update, Ive been on site for an hour or so and so far nothing shows any signs of damage what so ever, apart from a missing tile on the roof. I have the previous test results and so far everything tallys up perfectly. The install here is very good, all neat and well labeled (a pic below...

    Effect of Lightning Strikes on a Building

    I hadnt thought of that, i was imagining that all the damage would be around one area, the spurring strikes didn't even cross my mind. I have been allotted 2 days to check out the building, this wont be enough time to do a 100% eicr, but my purpose on site is to let them know what should be...

    Effect of Lightning Strikes on a Building

    Good evening guys, I have just had a call to go and have a look at a hotel tomorrow that was hit by lightning yesterday morning. All i know is that its a 2 story building and was hit and now has a hole in the roof and that there is no lightning protection system in place. They are worried that...

    Extension of lighting circuit!

    I have used the drylining boxes with the fire seal, they are a right pain to use. I have not heard of the blue disk for lights on timber. I do hope you are mistaken as i really dont fancy fitting the fire rated drylining boxes everywhere!
