Risk Assessment – Lightning Protection

At AVVID Services, we provide comprehensive Risk Assessment services to evaluate the vulnerability of structures, equipment, and electrical systems against lightning strikes and related hazards.

Our expert team uses industry-recognized standards such as IEC 62305 to determine the level of protection required for each facility. The process involves assessing potential risks, calculating lightning exposure probability, and recommending effective protection measures.

Because safety starts with knowing your risks.

Scope of Our Risk Assessment

Site Survey & Data Collection

We begin with a detailed site study to analyze building dimensions, structure type, and geographical lightning exposure.

Risk Level Calculation

Using IEC 62305 guidelines, we calculate the probability of lightning strikes and their potential impact on people, property, and equipment.

System Evaluation

Existing Earthing and Lightning Protection Systems are inspected for adequacy and compliance with safety standards.

Hazard Identification

We identify weak zones, unprotected areas, and high-risk assets that require additional safety measures.

Recommendation Report

Our final report includes findings, risk classification, and detailed recommendations for mitigation and improvement.

Why Perform a Lightning Risk Assessment?

Lightning and electrical hazards can cause severe damage to life, property, and critical systems. A detailed risk assessment helps you understand your site’s exposure and implement the right level of protection before any incident occurs.

Ensures compliance with IEC 62305 & IS/IEC safety standards.
Prevents costly electrical failures and downtime.
Identifies unprotected or weak zones.
Improves safety for people, equipment, and assets.
Provides data-driven recommendations for protection.

Our Step-by-Step Approach

1

Site Visit & Data Gathering

Comprehensive inspection of the facility premises to record key physical, structural, and electrical parameters. Includes measurement of building dimensions, location of sensitive equipment, grounding system details, and environmental factors influencing lightning exposure.

2

Risk Calculation (IEC 62305 Method)

Application of the IEC 62305-2 standard for quantitative lightning risk assessment. The process involves calculating the probability of lightning strikes, potential damage factors, and determining the tolerable versus actual risk levels.

3

System Evaluation & Gap Analysis

Detailed comparison between existing protection measures and IEC 62305 compliance requirements. Identifies deficiencies in air terminals, down conductors, Earthing network, surge protection, and bonding systems.

4

Report Preparation with Risk Category

Structured documentation summarizing site observations, calculated risk values, system performance, and the assigned risk category (R1–R4) as per IEC guidelines.

5

Protection System Recommendation

Proposal of suitable lightning and surge protection solutions, including external LPS design, SPD ratings, grounding enhancements, and periodic inspection plans to achieve full IEC 62305 compliance.
