In the United States, lightning strikes about 100 times every second, with the National Weather Service recording roughly 23 million cloud-to-ground lightning strikes each year.
If your buildings don’t have proper structural lightning protection, these erratic electrical events can cause lasting damage and power quality disruptions throughout your building. Get protected today with DEHN – an international leader in lightning protection solutions.
Our latest protective concept, the External Lightning Protection (ELP) product line, includes a range of proven products that take your buildings from at-risk to reliable protection in two simple steps.
First, browse the products in the ELP line, then call and schedule an in-depth risk assessment of your facilities. From there, we’ll handle the rest!
What are the risks of remaining unprotected?
When it comes to lightning strikes and the resulting damage, it’s a matter of “when” not “if,” it will strike and wreak havoc. When lightning makes contact with your building, it can cause fires, structural damage to your facilities, and power outages.
When this occurs, you’ll have to manage expensive repairs and replacements, while experiencing lengthy downtime, and delays or failures to meet contractual and service obligations. Not to mention the threats lightning poses to the health and safety of your employees within your facilities.
Don’t wait until it’s too late. Strike first with proactive protection, like the ELP product line from DEHN. Give us a call today and let our experts handle it all, from risk assessment to product implementation.
The leading voice of education and awareness in the industry, the Lightning Protection Institute is enacting a campaign to raise the percentage of companies in the U.S. with lightning protection from 6% to 10%. At DEHN, we’re committed to going beyond this goal until every entity in North America has quality protection from lightning and surge events for their facilities, systems, and employees.
That’s why we ensure all of our products and services meet or exceed the expectations of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 780 guidelines. The governing body of lightning protection in the U.S., the NFPA has been the regulatory body of the industry since its founding in 1896.
Combining our expertise in the International Electrotechnical Commission regulations with our knowledge of the NFPA’s latest guidelines, we can ensure every step of our process from concept planning to professional installation will keep you in compliance with industry standards.
