Structural Earthing and Lightning Protection Installation & Testing By DFMHUB

Directly employed crews, method statements, height-safety compliance and instrument-traceable test records — delivered as one accountable scope alongside our manufacturing.

DFMHUB provides integrated Structural Earthing and Lightning Protection System installation and testing support for commercial buildings, industrial facilities, data centres, high-rise developments, factories, warehouses, PEB structures and infrastructure projects.

Our scope is focused on executing the approved design correctly at site and ensuring that the complete earthing and lightning protection network works as one coordinated system. Installation is carried out with attention to conductor routing, structural bonding, test points, earth-termination connections, material compatibility, fixing quality and coordination with civil, electrical, MEP, roofing and structural teams.

PROCESS

Six stages from survey to signed handover

01 · Site survey

Structure measurement, roof equipment mapping, facade route study and Wenner four-pin soil resistivity readings at multiple spacings.

02 · Risk assessment

IS/IEC 62305-2 calculation of R1 against tolerable risk, producing the required Lightning Protection Level and SPD class.

03 · System design

Rolling sphere or mesh modelling, down conductor spacing, electrode sizing, bonding schedule, SPD coordination and a full bill of materials.

04 · Manufacture & dispatch

ARK Make components produced to the approved BOM with IEC 62561 test certificates and batch traceability.

05 · Installation

Air terminals, conductors and fixings; exothermic welds; earth pits and chambers; equipotential bonding; SPD wiring — by directly employed, height-certified crews.

06 · Testing & handover

Fall-of-potential earth resistance per electrode, continuity across every test link, as-built drawings and a compliance pack.

SCOPE

What our crews execute on site

Lightning protection installation

Air termination networks, down conductors, test links, strike counters and coordinated Type 1/2/3 SPD sets.

Structural earthing installation

Foundation rebar bonding, driven and deep-bore electrodes, grid mats, earth bars and enhancement compound backfill.

Exothermic welding

Certified operators for copper-to-copper, copper-to-rebar and cable-to-structure molecular joints.

Testing & certification

Earth resistance, soil resistivity, continuity and touch/step potential assessment with instrument-traceable reports.

Compliance audits

Gap analysis of existing systems against IS/IEC 62305, IS 3043 and NBC 2016 Part 8, with a prioritised remediation scope.

Annual maintenance

Scheduled inspection, re-testing and reporting to keep certification and insurance cover valid.

SAFETY & QUALITY

How work is controlled on site

Job-specific method statement and risk assessment issued before mobilisation
Permit-to-work coordination with plant EHS teams, including hot-work permits for exothermic welding
Stage-wise inspection sign-off before concealment of any buried or embedded conductor
Full-body harness, twin lanyard and anchor-point plan for all roof and facade work
Calibrated earth testers with certificates valid at the time of testing
Photographic record of every welded joint and electrode before backfilling

Installation services — questions we get asked

Structural earthing and lightning protection installation involves creating a coordinated electrical path through the building's earthing, bonding and lightning protection network. The installation follows approved drawings and includes site coordination, inspection, testing and final documentation.
