ABRE provide lightning strikes risk assessment and management analysis which can affecting a structure or a service can cause damage to the structure itself, to its occupants and contents including failure of internal electrical and electronic systems. The damages and failures may also extend to the surroundings of the structure and the local environment. They depend on the characteristics of the object and also on the characteristics of the lightning flashes.
LIGHTINIG PROTECTION RISK ANALYSIS
The damages and failures may in-turn produce different types of consequential loss on the object to be protected. To reduce the loss due to lightning, protection measure may be required. The need for protection, the economic benefits of installing protection measures and the selection of adequate protection measures should be determined in terms of risk analysis and management.
Located at the Malaysia and Singapore experiences one of the highest lightning activities in the world, at almost > 143 thunderstorms per year. Lightning strikes to buildings and grounds often results in fire, damages to buildings, cultural heritages and economic losses. Lightning strikes may also result in disruption of critical services to the society and in the worst case, injuries and loss of human lives.
It is thus important that facility owners and event organizers conduct Lightning Risk Assessments to ensure that the exposure to lightning risks are kept to a minimum. The inherent risks are compared to the tolerable risk factors to determine whether additional lightning protection measures are required. A lightning protection system therefore forms an important part of a building structure and electrical system, ensuring that damage, disruption and injuries are kept to a minimum.
We provide the services to conduct Lightning Risk Assessment and the respective design of the Lightning Protection System based to the international standard IEC 62305, BS EN 62305 and SS 555.
