Lightning Protection and Grounding Surveys
The design process for a lightning protection or grounding system may require on-site evaluation of the facility and power distribution system. A survey of relevant site plans, including bonding and grounding methods for electrical services, communications, TVSS, UPS, and many other systems operating at the facility, is required to build a picture of where existing or future problems require focus and attention.
Data Analysis
Data Analysis & Computer Modeling
Information gathered from testing, surveys, and evaluations must be
correlated, assigned weighted importance, and associated with relevant
parameters. This data is analyzed by capable engineers using sophisticated
computer modeling techniques, and its reliability established by experience
and knowledge. Solutions are recommended by results and needs addressed
by capabilities.
Equipment/System
Equipment & System Evaluations
A full review of existing equipment and systems, and recommended changes,
compliments and reinforces the design effort. Incorrectly implemented
surge suppression devices and grounding systems are worse than ineffective;
they may be dangerous. Individual system components, subsystems, and
systems should be evaluated from micro-to-macro to ensure everything
is working correctly together under normal and worst case conditions.
Soil Resistivity & Ground Testing
Soil Resistivity & Ground Testing
Our field technicians and engineers perform 3-point fall of potential
tests, 4-point soil resistivity tests, and clamp-on resistance tests
of grounding systems, as well as complete facility site survey and
consulting services. Extensive experience
enables us to define exactly what improvements
will work best for a facility, which effectively eliminates trial and
error at the site, and reduces the overall cost of grounding system
implementation.
Solution Reports and Specifications
Specifications for customized grounding and lightning protection.
A detailed, well-documented report describing problems, solutions,
and design implementation requirements is essential to all but the
most basic scenario. A stand alone report may be all that a client
requires, or it may be the basis for further effort. ALLTEC Corporation
keeps updated with the latest approved standards and practices in the
grounding and lightning protection industries and is an active member
of standard writing committees. As the name suggests, “Standards” define
the code specifications for the industry or application for which it
has been written. One of today’s challenges is site applications. Selecting
a single governing standard may not ensure sound practices for grounding
and lightning protection because of the diversity found in each application
and industry. Different standards will be applicable according to the
industry for which the site plan is designed. ALLTEC Corporation’s
engineering team works to develop single, customized grounding and
lightning protection specifications for people, equipment, and structures
using all the associated standards needed.
Systems Integration
Elimating waste in material, labor, and plant or equipment downtime with Alltec Corporations Systems' Integration Process.
ALLTEC Corporation prepares detailed site survey reports and considers all practical aspects of system integration on a site. Choice of products and packaging is executed to enable an integrating team to plan a smooth execution. Documentation of “as built and installed” systems in hard and soft copies is prepared and may be used for any future audits and tests. ALLTEC Corporation products, as well as the system integration services, are insured and under stated warranty. Our system integration process follows the principles of continuous improvements. Through documentation and review, the schedules and performances of integrated systems can be monitored, which eliminates waste in material, labor, and plant or equipment downtime.
