The Applied Technical Services Family of Companies (ATS FoC) delivers essential lightning protection inspection services that protect your data center from costly downtime and loss.
Why Do Data Centers Require Lightning Protection?
A lightning protection system provides a direct path for lightning to reach the ground, preventing energy from passing through a building’s electrical or structural components. Data centers depend on this protection because lightning can cause spikes that overwhelm power systems and network hardware. These surges put servers, cooling equipment, and data storage systems at risk, all of which require stable, uninterrupted power. Technicians install air terminals, grounding networks, and bonding conductors to safely direct current away from sensitive electronics. Surge protection devices are also used to block excess voltage before it reaches critical equipment. This comprehensive approach safeguards uptime, preserves data integrity, and ensures data centers comply with regulations and standards.
About Our Data Center Lightning Protection Inspection
We offer clear, comprehensive lightning protection inspections, expert installations, and dependable repairs for data centers.
Inspections
Our inspections assess all external and internal components of the lightning protection system, including air terminals, catenary wires, down conductors, bonding connections, grounding electrodes, and surge devices, and verify that each component safely intercepts, conducts, and dissipates strikes.
Installations
For installations, we verify all lightning protection components, test their integration, and confirm required separation and grounding. We install and test surge protection, check hardware integrity, and document all performance measures for compliance.
Repairs
Our repairs restore system performance by diagnosing damage, repairing or replacing affected parts, testing ground continuity and surge devices, addressing corrosion, and updating documentation to ensure compliance.
Our services comply with UL 96A and NFPA 780 to meet code and insurance requirements. This demonstrates that your data center’s lightning protection meets industry standards and significantly reduces operational risk.
