Advanced structural protection systems integrating with building frameworks to provide comprehensive lightning protection for critical infrastructure and high-rise buildings
DFMHUB, manufacturer of ARK Make Structural Lightning Protection Systems, designs and supplies integrated lightning protection solutions embedded within RCC structures. Structural Lightning Protection Systems (LPS) use building reinforcements such as RCC rebars as natural down conductors, ensuring safe dissipation of lightning current directly into foundation earthing systems.
A Structural Lightning Protection System is an integrated lightning protection approach where RCC rebars act as natural down conductors, bonded and connected to a foundation earthing network. This method eliminates exposed conductors and provides long-term, maintenance-free protection.
High-rise buildings, industrial plants, substations, and solar installations are vulnerable to direct lightning strikes. Structural LPS ensures:
ARK Make systems are engineered for industrial reliability and designed using IEC 62305 risk assessment methodology. Products are tested for electrical continuity, corrosion resistance, and mechanical strength.
Every project includes detailed engineering drawings, bonding layouts, continuity testing, and final inspection documentation to ensure system compliance and performance.
It uses the building’s structural elements to safely conduct lightning current to earth.
Structural LPS uses reinforcement steel as natural down conductors, unlike exposed external conductors used in conventional systems.
Yes. It is permitted under IEC 62305 and IS 2309 when continuity and earthing requirements are met.
RCC buildings, high-rises, data centers, industrial sheds, metro stations, and infrastructure projects.
By bonding reinforcement bars using approved connectors, welding, or clamps and verifying resistance.
Generally no. Structural steel acts as natural down conductors if compliant with standards.
A low-impedance earthing system connected to earth electrodes and an earth grid.
Yes. Structural LPS is typically integrated with the common grounding network.
Yes, when combined with proper bonding and surge protection devices.
Bonding strips, reinforcement clamps, test links, earth electrodes, and corrosion-resistant connectors.
Through continuity testing, earth resistance measurement, and visual inspection.
IEC 62305, IEC 62561, IS 3043, and IS 2309.
