Commercial and High-Rise Buildings
Lightning protection and earthing systems that follow the architecture and put life safety first in tall, densely occupied buildings.
The protection need
In office buildings, shopping centres, hotels and residential projects the protection system is designed with life safety first, because of the height of the structure, the façade and roof architecture and the intensity of use. Bringing the foundation earth and the down conductors into the construction at the right time is both safer and more economical than later intervention.
Principal risks and design criteria
- 01
High-rise structures
Risk of strikes to the side faces, and down conductors along the façade.
- 02
High occupancy
Measures against step and touch voltages, because life safety comes first.
- 03
Architectural integration
A discreet appearance, with concealed down conductors and connections to the reinforcement.
- 04
Roof equipment
Bringing mechanical plant, antennas and façade elements inside the protected volume.
