Solutions: Offshore

Lightning Protection, Grounding, and Surge Supression for Offshore FacilitiesAs high structures protruding from a flat sea, offshore facilities are vulnerable and subject to some of the most severe weather events on the planet. Difficult access makes equipment, communications, and control systems particularly expensive to service.  In addition, time spent performing repairs and lost production is extremely costly. Lightning induced voltages cause intermittent, unpredictable failures because of cumulative damage to sensitive semiconductors in critical electronic systems. 

In addition to lightning protection, superior bonding and grounding is needed by offshore facilities. Alltec Corporation recommends and supplies designs and materials to meet these needs, as well as surge suppression products for such equipment as Emergency Shut Down (ESD), Process Control Systems (PCS), Fire and Gas Systems (F&G), flare stack and flame path detection instrumentation and network communications. Alltec's offshore solutions aim to:

  • Protect critical facilities, equipment, records, assets
  • Provide safe working environment for personnel
  • Reduce the risk of downtime
  • Reduce vulnerability of interdependent critical infrastructures
  • Protect reputation, maintain competitive posture
  • Build a disaster resilient enterprise
