Lightning protection studies assess the risk of lightning strikes and define practical measures to protect people, buildings, electrical systems and critical equipment.
LIGHTNING PROTECTION STUDIES — FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
They help identify safety and asset risks, support applicable standards and reduce the likelihood of damage, downtime and unsafe touch or step voltages.
Typical references include IEC 62305, IEC 62561, IEC 61643 and applicable local authority, client and project requirements.
Yes. JEF supports lightning protection assessments and engineering studies across the UAE and for wider GCC and international project requirements.
Lightning protection studies are used for oil and gas, utilities, manufacturing, process plants, commercial buildings, infrastructure and renewable energy facilities.
Typical inputs include site location, drawings, building geometry, equipment data, electrical layouts, existing protection systems and applicable authority criteria.
Deliverables may include risk assessment, design basis, protection zones, down-conductor and earthing recommendations, surge protection review and a technical report.
The schedule depends on facility size, data readiness, site access, modelling complexity and review requirements.
Pricing depends on the facility, scope, number of buildings, site work, modelling effort and required deliverables.
Yes. JEF can review assumptions, inputs, standards, protection zones, earthing, surge protection, calculations and recommendations.
Yes. Existing facilities can be assessed using available drawings, operating data, field measurements, inspections and existing protection records.
Yes. Early studies help address protection, grounding and surge risks before layouts and equipment selections are finalized.
