Our engineering know-how for your projects

Rely on our experience! Our specialists will plan the lightning protection and earthing measures for your project. The full concept according to IEC/EN 62305 includes:

3D/2D drawings
mounting details
calculation of the separation distance  
detailed descriptions
tender specifications
material quotation
bills of material (optional)

Of course, we will provide you with the planning documents in an "open" file format (dxf/dwg) so you can use them for your own documentation. We work closely with our customers to meet industry and country-specific requirements. Therefore, project discussions and site surveys are an important part of our service.

DEHNconcept provides a visual representation of the lightning protection measures. That makes it easier for you to integrate these measures into the building architecture.

Risk analysis

Our service also includes a risk analysis according to IEC/EN 62305-2: Protection against lightning – Part 2: Risk management.

There are four categories:

Risk R1: Loss of human life
Risk R2: Loss of service to the public
Risk R3: Loss of cultural heritage
Risk R4: Loss of economic value

One or more risks can be relevant for a building. Based on the risk analysis, we will create an efficient state-of-the-art lightning protection concept.

Project references

For more than a decade, we have been planning lightning and surge protection solutions for different projects and industries. Find below some examples of our customer projects. In case you require more information, please get in contact with us!

Greece, free field photovoltaic system

Free field photovoltaic systems are cost-intensive systems. Permanent availability is required to achieve a good return on investment. An efficient lightning protection system prevents failure resulting from lightning strikes. Therefore an isolated external lightning protection system is also often used in this case.

The free field photovoltaic system in Greece was equipped with an isolated lightning protection system with air-termination rods and insulated spacers.

Geyen, pumping station

It is also advisable to plan and install an isolated lightning protection system for individual parts of installations and systems such as pipelines which are located in the open field.

In the pumping station in Geyen (Germany), HVIpower Conductors were used to lead the lighting current out of the potentially explosive areas. This measure allowed us to make the system considerably safer.

Darmstadt, computer centre

Availability has top priority in computer centres. An isolated external lightning protection system is an efficient solution since it has the advantage that no lightning currents enter the structure. This considerably reduces the risk of damage to technical equipment.

A meshed lightning protection system with HVIConductors was installed in the computer centre in Darmstadt (Germany).

Open Grid Europe Verdichterstation Werne

Werne, compressor station

In industrial plants with potentially explosive atmospheres, it is important to plan a non-sparking lightning protection concept. This can be achieved by an isolated external lightning protection system.

We implemented such an isolated external lightning protection system for Open Grid Europe’s compressor station in Werne (Germany).
