Lightning Protection

Cyclect is a provider of lightning protection and earthing services in Singapore. Our team of experts has decades of experience in designing, installing, and maintaining these systems to ensure the safety and protection of industrial and infrastructure facilities.

Lightning protection and earthing are essential for mitigating the risks posed by lightning strikes and electrical surges. These services involve the installation of lightning rods, grounding systems, and surge protection devices to protect buildings, equipment, and personnel from damage and injury. It is important to use an experienced and accredited provider like Cyclect to ensure that these systems are installed correctly and in compliance with relevant standards.

In Singapore, some of the standards that must be followed for lightning protection and earthing include:

  • SS 551: Code of Practice for Earthing
  • SS 555 series (including SS555-1, SS555-2, SS555-3, and SS555-4): Protection against lightning – General principles, Risk management, Physical damage to structures and life hazard, and Electrical and electronic systems within structures
  • ISO 9001: Quality management systems
 

The SS551 and SS555 series provide guidance on the design, installation, and maintenance of lightning protection and earthing systems, as well as the management of lightning risks. These standards ensure that these systems are properly installed and maintained to provide the necessary protection against the risks posed by lightning.

Lightning Protection and Earthing Services

Our engineering services related to lightning protection and grounding include:

  • Lightning risk assessment and computation: We can assess the risk of lightning strikes at your facility and recommend appropriate protection measures based on the specific characteristics of your site.

  • Lightning audit management: We can conduct audits of your existing lightning protection and earthing systems to ensure that they are functioning properly and meet relevant standards.

  • Lightning protection method and calculation: We can develop custom lightning protection plans based on the specific needs of your facility and calculate the necessary design parameters to ensure proper protection.

  • Lightning event data collection and analysis: We can collect data on lightning events and analyze it to better understand the characteristics of lightning strikes and how they can be mitigated.

  • Soil resistivity measurement: We can measure the resistivity of the soil at your site to determine the appropriate grounding system design.

  • Earth resistance measurement: We can measure the resistance of your existing grounding system to ensure that it is functioning properly.

  • Ground enhancement and calculation: If the soil at your site is not conducive to effective grounding, we can recommend ground enhancement methods and calculate the necessary design parameters to improve the performance of your grounding system.

In addition to these services, we also offer installation, maintenance, repair, and retrofit services for lightning protection and earthing systems, as well as training and consultation on best practices. Our team has the expertise and experience to ensure that your facility is properly protected against the risks posed by lightning.
