Compliance Reports, Site Survey's, Site Audits, Design and Specification
As part of our engineering offer, Lightning Protection EPC or LPEPC provide specialist Site Surveys and Site Audits.
An LPEPC site report that consists of a site checklist and site score. Site scores determine whether a site audit is required.
Conduct a Site Survey or Site Audit, before you release your project to tender. Incorrect "scope of works" or "compliance requirements" can mire the project in costly over runs, remediation and increased risk.
A Lightning Protection EPC site report that includes an assessment of lightning risk
and audit of current lightning protection equipment, recommendations for lightning
protection equipment, including specification and compliance is essential. LPEPC
encourage our clients to conduct site survey's and or site audits prior to design or
specification. Gathering the facts upfront is the only way to provide engineering
teams and design teams accurate input from which they can build a system that is
best practice, compliant to standards and able to adequately reduce the risks
associated with lightning.
A fully costed electrical and mechanical design of the lightning protection system
including PMP and HSQ+E Plan is critical. Most lightning protection projects require
an engineered solution, specification and selection/procurement of lightning protection equipment and installation of equipment including construction and project management. If there is a breakdown in any one of these project phases, the outcome could be compromised.
LPEPC can design, procure and install a "best practice/compliant" lightning protection system.
Lightning Protection Evac Shelters
An LP Evacuation Shelter is a designated location on site that personnel evacuate to prior to a short duration storm event.
A safe area (sometimes referred to as a Hazard Shelter) is usually
a structure that has been purposely designed for personnel to wait
out a short duration storm event. The structure has typically been
designed to withstand severe storms and has multiple and overlayed
earthing, bonding, surge protection and lightning protection controls.
LP safe areas are predominatley used in Mining, LPG, LNG and remote
locations subject to frequent storm events where personnel are exposed.
LP Safe Areas are specially engineered, designed and constructed by
LPEPC and can be retrofitted to most existing structures or buildings.
