ENERGY CONTROL SYSTEMS LIGHTNING PROTECTION FOR BUILDINGS FACTORS TO KEEP IN MIND
Lightning protection for buildings is key for a wide range of businesses in the oil and gas industry, as companies must follow strict safety and compliance guidelines at all times. A lightning strike can occur at any time and cause significant damage to buildings of any size. These lightning strikes can also cause substantial downtime, which results in high costs and unexpected expenses.
Costs Of A Lightning Strike A lightning strike can cause significant damage to any building, which will lead to substantial repair costs. According to recent statistics, lightning causes over 26,000 fires that damage property in the United States each year, as these costs range between five and six billion dollars.
Types Of Lightning Strikes • Direct strikes occur whenever a building or a person is directly struck by lightning. These direct strikes are the most deadly type of strike, but they are not very common. • A side flash happens whenever a bolt of lightning strikes a tall object and part of the strike goes to a person that is nearby, such as anyone taking cover underneath a tree. • Ground currents are another deadly form of a lightning strike, as much of the energy is dissipated in the ground near the vicinity of the lightning strike.
