Here at Optimum Engineering Consultants, our mission is to protect lives and properties from the hazardous and expensive effects of one of nature’s deadliest elements.
Lightning protection for a building can be achieved by giving the lightning an alternative target that is more conductive. Once lightning has struck a lightning rod, the electrical energy can travel along a safe route to the ground, without causing any harm to people or property.
For more information, please contact our team – we will be happy to talk you through our full range of services.
Optimum Engineering prides itself on providing a professional service, supplying and installing lightning defense and electrical earthing systems that are designed to protect a building or structure and its contents from the considerable damage that a lightning strike can cause.
High voltage currents of a lightning strike can exceed 100 million volts, causing extensive damage to buildings and injury or death to the occupants. Comprising lightning rods, metal conductors and ground electrodes, a lightning protection system provides a low resistance path to the ground, where the intense energy is safely dispersed.
The earthing system plays a vital role in a co-ordinated lightning and surge protection system. It is responsible for safely dissipating the lightning currents to the ground but just as importantly, it plays a fundamental role in the efficient operation of surge protection devices.
An Earth Electrode System, professionally designed by competent Engineers, is essential to ensure the safety of personnel and protection of equipment from dangerous voltages in and around substations.
Optimum Engineering Consultants are able to offer Earth Electrode System designs and associated testing services using the most up-to-date equipment and design software. All this is carried out by competent and highly experienced Electrical Engineers and Technicians.
Today, we are seeing dramatic increases in the use of electronic equipment, controls and processes in most, if not all industrial and domestic developments which are under constant stress and as such degradation from transient over voltages – or surges.
At Optimum Engineering Consultants our dedicated team are able to provide technical support in the design and installation of the Surge Protection Measures in order to reliably, safely and substantially reduce the risk of loss of life, damage and permanent failure of electrical/electronic equipment.
Our approach is to provide our customers with the BEST level of service from initial enquiry to completion then ongoing through our maintenance services. We directly employ people throughout SA. However, despite our size, we still offer a friendly, personalised service that you would expect from a family run business.
