1. Does DAS Protect A Facility From Lightning Damage?

2. Lightning strikes can damage manufacturing units by causing fires, explosions, structural damage, electrical surges, and equipment failure. These can lead to production downtime and financial losses. Lightning can also destroy inventory and essential equipment, erase vital computer files, and damage customer relationships due to production delays or temporary closures. The potential lightning damage posed by lightning strikes necessitates installing effective lightning protection systems. Charge transfer systems are systems that use point discharge to protect an area or object from a lightning strike. Static electricity in the atmosphere is dissipated back into a ground system, making it less attractive for lightning to strike.

3. Our ability to deal intelligently with lightning damage is a little more advanced than Benjamin Franklin’s approach. With a rich history and over 50 years of expertise, LEC has been at the forefront of lightning protection systems. From risk assessment to dissipation array systems to surge protection systems, we offer comprehensive solutions to safeguard structures and assets from lightning damage. As experts in the field, we understand the importance of safeguarding structures and assets from the increasing frequency and intensity of lightning events. The evolving weather landscape, record-breaking events, and heightened lightning activity highlight the urgent demand for comprehensive lightning protection systems. Our solutions are effective and reliable, ensuring your peace of mind.

4. Case Study: Georgia Pacific, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of tissue, pulp, paper, packaging, building products, and related chemicals, has utilized LEC lightning protection products at four plants since 2001. Georgia Pacific’s primary problem was unplanned shutdowns of the Paper Machines attributable to direct strikes to the three 380-ft tall stacks for their in-house power generation plants. There has not been lightning damage to the paper machines since the Dissipation Array System (DAS) solution was installed. When installed, maintained, and supervised by LEC, DAS prevents direct strikes with a 99% success rate, minimizing the risks to facilities and operations. The benefits can be substantial, resulting in a healthier bottom line by reducing downtime, maintenance and repairs, while increasing reliability and personnel safety. With our solutions, you can significantly reduce the financial burden of potential lightning damage. By leveraging our expertise and incorporating the latest advancements in lightning protection technology, you can ensure robust protection for critical infrastructure and assets against lightning damage. With LEC, you get service and assurance from our decades-long experience and commitment to excellence.
