Sector Solutions · 06
Critical Infrastructure
Highly reliable protection systems for airports, rail systems, hospitals and public buildings, where the service must continue without interruption.
The protection need
Airports, rail systems, hospitals, education and public buildings are facilities where an interruption of service has a high effect on society. Lightning protection and earthing in these buildings are designed so that, together with life safety, the critical systems keep operating.
Principal risks and design criteria
- 01
Uninterrupted service
Protection of life-critical systems (medical devices, signalling, communications) against surges.
- 02
Rail systems
Earthing along tunnels, stations and the line, and the effects of stray current.
- 03
Tall towers
Air-termination and aircraft-warning systems on control towers and tall structures.
- 04
Areas with a high concentration of people
Life-safety measures against step and touch voltages.
