Lightning is one of nature’s most destructive events, so it is essential to protect people, the environment and infrastructures from its effects, as well as guaranteeing the continuity of services and safeguarding material and cultural assets. The purpose of a lightning protection system is to capture lightning, conduct its current safely to earth, dissipate in the ground and protect against the secondary effects of lightning.
Hospitals, retirement homes, research centers, laboratories, etc., are key infrastructures that must be protected against the risks caused by electrical storms. Buildings in which there is a high concentration of people, high-cost equipment and even patients connected to electrical systems that cannot suffer cuts or alterations in the electricity supply, require a comprehensive lightning protection system with the maximum guarantees of safety and quality.
Drawbridges allow the passage of high boats at specific times. In their movement they are transformed into vertical walls and they can reach a great height, making them clearly preferential points of impact for lightning strikes.
Lightning protection for buildings is crucial to avoid personal, material and economic damage. If they are also historic buildings, lightning can cause incalculable artistic and heritage losses. For this reason, Aplicaciones Tecnológicas designs and offers a wide range of products with the aim of minimising the damage that thunderstorms can cause.
