Help on Earthing of structrual steel??

[raymonddaly]

Hi All,
I'm currently doing some work on a warehouse. I have noticed that there is NO Main Earth to the Structrual steel. I am going to install an Earth but my question is where's the best place to bond it to and does every Steel upright require a Cross Bond???

Thank You.

Generally you can bond exposed structural steelwork steelwork as close as possible to your MET.

It is not necessary to cross bond as all the steelwork will be linked.

Not wanting to teach your grandmother to suck eggs but, make sure that you don't risk the integrity of the structural steel. If you intend to drill the steel then make sure that you tap the hole.

Has anyone come across a bang on girder type that may comply so as not to be drilling the steels
