Earthing & Lightning Protection |  Design & technical solutions     3 Earthing and lightning protection Design services, site surveys and analysis Earthing & lightning protection solutions There are many benefits of coming to Furse for earthing and lightning analysis:   – Specialist advice from our fully qualified technical team,  which focuses on earthing and lightning protection   – Active contribution to national and harmonised  European/international standards ensures our engineers remain at the forefront of new developments in earthing and lightning protection   – Designs that comply with all relevant standards - national  and international   – Our responsibility for providing a design that is safe   – Experience and the software to provide an ‘optimum’  design - one that doesn’t use more material than is necessary - saving you money   – Manufacturing experience and expertise utilising our  knowledge of the products available to provide a tailored design that can be installed using the most appropriate and up-to-date products Soil resistivity surveys A comprehensive soil resistivity survey is key to creating an effective earthing system, as inadequate or erroneous soil resistivity readings are likely to result in a flawed design.  Furse site surveys take multiple accurate soil resistivity readings at various depths across the site. As these results form the basis of the whole earthing design, the experience of our engineers is critical in ensuring correct implementation of the test data. Analysis & earthing design  Using the latest computer aided design & modelling software we can produce detailed or budgetary earth electrode and lightning protection system designs, in compliance with recognised standards and whatever the complexity of system required. Full earthing analysis uses state-of-the-art software to determine the step and touch voltages, earth potential rise and fall, and hot/cold site classification of the site generated by the initial design. Earth resistance measurement Earth resistance measurement is essential to accurately determine that the installed earthing system meets the anticipated criteria laid out in the initial design.  Our technicians ensure all measurements are correctly taken and interpreted, so that the true resistance of the earthing system can be accurately determined and verified.
