Comprehensive Lightning Protection

Sitehill Projects is a fully South African-owned designer, and supplier of innovative solutions in the areas of direct strike lightning protection, earthing & bonding, and surge & transient protection.

4-Step Approach to Lightning Protection

We provide comprehensive and effective lightning protection. Sitehill has identified essential steps to ensure complete facility protection every time.

1. Definition and provision of area protection.

2. Creation of a bonded earthing system.

3. Protection of mains power lines.

4. Protection of signal, data and communication lines.

Inspection of existing lightning protection systems

Lightning protection systems should be visually inspected at least once per year. An in-depth inspection should be scheduled every 3-4 years for all systems and every 1-3 years for critical systems. Each of the earthing or grounding points and the conductors connected to them are tested for earth resistance.

Design and installation of earthmats and specialised earthing systems

Earthing design is a process that helps to ground electrical systems and protect people from potential harm. It’s been used in many different industries over the years and has proven to be an effective way to keep people safe, you see this in your home with Residual Current Devices.

equipotential bonding
Equipotential Bonding

Equipotential bonding is a crucial electrical component that reduces the risk of electric shock if an electrical fault causes conductive objects to become energised.

It assesses the lightening risks to the facility according to international standards requirements. These calculations are according to ECB and SABS standards.

Substation Earthing

The fundamental role of any substation earthing is to dissipate the short circuit current into the earth without drying out the area and to limit the potential gradient throughout the substation to maintain the step and touch voltages within safe values.
