Lightning protection & earthing systems.

Design, installation, annual SS 555:2018 audits and BCA CSC03 submissions, for housing, commercial and industrial buildings.

SS 555:2018

Singapore is one of the most lightning-prone places on earth.

A strike doesn't have to hit a person to cause damage. It starts fires, destroys equipment, takes systems offline and creates real liability for whoever owns the building.

A properly designed lightning protection system gives that energy a deliberate, tested route into the ground, away from the structure, the wiring and the people inside it.

We design, install, test and certify those systems, and we inspect them every year so they still work when they're needed.

The system

Four parts, one path to earth.

01

Air terminals

The strike lands here by design. Terminals are positioned to a calculated protection zone, never by eye.

02

Ridge bonding

Every conductor is cross-bonded at the ridge, so the current always has more than one route down.

03

Down conductor

The charge runs to earth on a fixed, clamped route, held to the roof rather than clipped to it.

04

Earth termination

At the base it bonds into the structure's steel through a test point, so the whole system can be measured each year.

What we deliver

Installation, audit, rectification.

Design & install

New protection systems

Full design and installation of lightning protection for housing, industrial and commercial buildings, sized to a calculated protection zone.

Audit

Annual inspection to SS 555:2018

Audit and risk assessment of existing systems, as the Singapore Standard expects each year, with a written outcome.

Rectify

Repair of failed systems

Where an audit finds a broken conductor, a corroded joint or a missing bond, we rectify it and re-test.

Certify

CSC03 & commissioning

Testing and commissioning, plus preparation and submission of the BCA Certificate of Supervision.

Earthing

Earthing systems

Earth electrodes, bonding into structural steel and earth test points, designed and measured rather than assumed.

Electrical

Supporting electrical works

Distribution boards, surge-protection provisions and the electrical installation the system connects into.
