From skyscrapers to heritage-listed churches, protection is essential for occupants, sensitive equipment and structural integrity. Effective systems reduce the risk of electronic damage, fire hazards, and operational disruptions.

The risk
Modern buildings rely on dense electronic systems. One direct or induced strike can cascade through HVAC, panels, comms and fire-alarm networks in seconds.
Damage to HVAC, electrical panels, UPS, inverters, fire alarm panels, control and communication networks.
Flammable materials and stored fuels can ignite from a direct strike, leading to catastrophic fires.
Business continuity, productivity and revenue impacted by even short unplanned outages.
Risk of injury to occupants from electrical surges, touch and step voltages, and lightning-related events within or around the building.

PhysElec Solutions provided consultancy services for a major new hospital in Melbourne. This $1.5 billion project is due for completion in 2025. Our consultants conducted thorough desktop work, including earthing and lightning protection design, and on-site work, including soil resistivity tests and current injection testing. The post-installation current injection testing confirmed system performance regarding impedance and earth potential rise, and step, touch and transfer voltages across the site.

South East Asia has frequent, intense thunderstorms and equipment damage is prevalent in many locations, especially isolated and prominent ones like islands, which typically have very poor soil and hence high resistivity. LPI was called to solve lightning problems on such an island that houses a luxury resort. This involved a site visit, analysis and calculations upon to return to the office, and detailed formulation of innovative solutions to overcome the unique features of the island that revolved around surge and transient protection and earthing issues.
