EXISTING GROUNDING & LIGHTNING PROTECTION SYSTEMS’ AUDIT 

  • Evaluation of the condition of the existing Electrical Grounding & Lightning Protection System.
  • The measurement of Electrical Grounding Resistance of the  Existing Grounding System Using “Three Point Fall of Potential Method”
  • Soil Resistivity Test by Wenner method to design a new rectified grounding system of low impedance value.
  • Submission of Detailed Findings Report, including the Field Test Report / Site Images and our Recommendations for the rectification
  • Preparation of Complete BOQ for the rectification of Existing Grounding & LP System

RECTIFICATION OF GROUNDING & LP SYSTEM 

  • Supply and Installation of new Maintenance Free buried earthing pits, using  Cu bonded earthing rods & replacing the native soil with less resistive Ground Conductivity Enhancing Material
  • Supply and Installation of Exothermic Welded Joints for connecting Copper bonded rods with earthing copper conductor ring / grid
  • Supply and Installation of new Equipotential Grounding Bus Bars and making connections with ring / grid and equipment & machinery in Horizontal and Vertical accelerator room.
  • Connection of Equipotential  Earth Bar to Power Distribution Cabinet and PLC cabinet using Earthing Conductor
  • Supply and Installation of missing Lightning Protection System components with re-fixing of Copper Strip with new saddles along the roof wall & Supply & Installation of Air Terminals on Roof top
  • Connecting the Copper Strip Ring with Air Terminals & Main Grounding Mesh through down conductors.
  • Supply and Installation of new Maintenance Free Buried Earthing Pits for Lightning Protection of Cranes (Qty: Three on each end of the track) using Cu bonded Rods and Ground Conductivity Enhancing Material and connecting them with the Rail-Tracks of the Cranes.
