Grounding & Earthing Systems

Ground Rods, Rings & Electrode Design

Grounding networks designed for your soil conditions, building layout, and equipment requirements.

Soil is the one part of the system you can't change, so the electrodes are designed around it. We lay out ground rods, rings and conductors for your soil conditions and building layout, and install them to recognized standards, so fault current and surge energy always have a low-impedance path to earth.

• Degraded rods and connections that no longer give a low-impedance path are found and replaced
• Designed so strike and fault energy have somewhere to go, not through your equipment
• Documented for compliance and insurance

Bonding & Integration

Grounding, lightning protection and equipment chassis bonded to eliminate potential differences.

Equipment chassis sitting at different ground potentials cause intermittent failures that get misdiagnosed as individual component faults. They also put people at risk when two metal parts at different potential are touched together. Bonding ties grounding, lightning protection and equipment chassis into one equipotential system.

• Grounding that isn't bonded to lightning protection creates potential differences, so we bond them
• Intermittent faults traced to unbonded chassis and ground loops, not worked around
• One reference for every metal part you can touch

Testing & Measurement

Ground resistance testing verifies system integrity and finds degradation before it matters.

Grounding degrades silently. Soil conditions, corrosion and building modifications change its performance over the years, with no visible sign. We measure ground resistance, map your existing grounding topology, and provide documentation for compliance and insurance, and we recommend testing every year.

• Starts with a test, so design decisions rest on measured data
• Completed systems are tested again and documented
• Annual testing catches corrosion and degradation before an incident does
