Lightning Protection
Lightning is an electrostatic discharge between cloud to cloud and cloud to ground during a thunder storm. Lightning Protection System (LPS) channels high energy through defined path and dissipate it instantaneously. This study helps to identify weakness in the present channel system and help the industry to implement corrections and achieve required safety during lightning strikes.

The LPS amalgamates the advantages of Early Streamer Emission systems and Passive Air Termination systems to safely dissipate the lightning using structural steel. The piles and peripheral earth pits which are treated with permanent earth enhancing compounds provide effective dissipation of lightning. Burjkhalifa at Dubai.
