1,0 Introduction

Planning complex objects and structures by means of 3D programming allows for the much more efficient designing of the earthing and lightning protection systems while taking into consideration all parts of the structure. This way, the earthing and lightning protection systems can be installed more effectively than if the 2D AutoCAD method is used.

Due to the increasing requirements regarding a buildings architecture, 3D planning of the earthing and lightning protection systems is an excellent solution for visually representing the protection measures. The 3D designs give customers a good idea of how the earthing and lightning protection measures will be integrated into the buildings architecture.

The biggest advantage of using the 3D design process is the clear visualisation of the protected volume of the air termination system.

2,0 Installation Details

The use of 3D modeling enables accurate and precise installation of the various earthing and lightning protection components.This enables the design principles employed by the LPS designer to be easily conveyed to the installation teams.

Project specific installation details are compiled to further ensure the accuracy of the lightning protection planning process from the design phase through to the installation.

The use of 3D modeling therefore represents a large step in the provision of state-of-the-art lightning protection concepts.
