Lightning discharges contain awesome amounts of electrical energy. It has been measured from several thousand amps to over 200,000 amps – enough to light half a million 100 watt bulbs! Even though a lightning discharge is of a very short duration (typically 200 microseconds) it is a very real cause of damage and destruction. The function of an external lightning protection system is to intercept, conduct and disperse a lightning strike safely to earth. Without such a system a building’s structure, electronic systems and the people working around or within it are all at risk.

Our several years of experience in the design and installing Lightning Protection and Grounding Systems allow us to deliver best quality installations with outstanding customer service at an optimal value.

Bangladesh National Building Code (BNBC) gives clear regulations for setting up “Lightning Arrestor” recommended for buildings over 22m high and mandatory for buildings more than 33m high. It is obligatory to take the NOC (No Objection Certificate) for all realtors which comply with BNBC code.

International organizations working in Bangladesh like Accord Bangladesh, Alliance, ILO, Nirapon etc. has made LPS mandatory for every industry to get enlisted with them.

Fire Service and Civil Defense department and, Public Works Dept. (PWD) of Bangladesh government are working relentlessly in lightning awareness and protection in common people.

Rods and protection systems don’t attract lightning, nor do they influence where lightning will strike. They also do not and cannot prevent lightning, nor can they ‘discharge’ thunderstorms.

Lightning protection systems (including placement of rods, cables, and groundings) are custom-designed for individual structures and require complex engineering to function properly. They should only be installed by qualified contractors.
