Lightning masts on concrete foundation – protection of objects and equipment

A lightning mast on a foundation is a key element of a surge protection system, providing effective protection of buildings and equipment against the effects of atmospheric discharges. The construction allows for the creation of extensive protection zones, particularly important in facilities with increased risk, such as those with explosive materials or of strategic importance to the region. The mast provides a large insulation distance and can protect a group of tall objects simultaneously. It is intended for use in wind zones below 300 m above sea level in Poland.

Construction and application

The mast structure is based on a steel profile, hot-dip galvanized to ensure long-lasting corrosion protection. The flat bar connection guarantees the strength and stability of the structure. The mast is mounted on a solid concrete foundation, which ensures its stability even in strong winds. The mast diameter ranges from 22 to 70 mm, and its length is 9 meters, allowing it to be adapted to different needs and terrain conditions.

Lightning masts are used wherever a high degree of protection against atmospheric discharges is required – both in residential and industrial buildings, as well as in critical infrastructure. They are particularly recommended for protecting objects exposed to direct lightning strikes or located near tall structures.

Advantages and benefits

• Effective protection: Provides reliable protection against the effects of atmospheric discharges, minimizing the risk of damage and threats to life.
• Durable construction: Made of hot-dip galvanized steel, resistant to corrosion and weathering – a guarantee of longevity.
• Stability: Mounting on a concrete foundation ensures stability even in difficult weather conditions.
• Versatility: Can be used in various wind zones below 300 m above sea level, making it suitable for most locations in Poland.
• Modular construction: Facilitates transport and assembly, reducing logistics costs and installation time (data from USP).
• Availability: High stock levels and fast order fulfillment times (data from USP).

Additional information regarding installation is available from the manufacturer ELKO-BIS Systemy Odgromowe Sp. z o.o. Remember to check the ground conditions before starting installation work and to properly compact the soil around the foundation in accordance with the ELKO-BIS Systemy Odgromowe Sp. z o.o. installation instructions.
