Poles for lightning receivers
In ancient times, people waited out lightning in caves, avoiding open areas, and watched their homes and farms becoming victims of the element. The development of engineering solutions gave rise to a simple and at the same time revolutionary invention – a lightning receiver. Its principle of operation is to divert an electric charge from a building to the ground through a metal conductor. Today, lightning receivers have become an indispensable element of protecting facilities, especially such as: gas stations, warehouses of hazardous chemicals, sanatoriums and industrial enterprises.
Nowadays, we have reliable protection against thunderstorms: lightning receivers are installed on the roofs of buildings, which ensure the safety of people, buildings and equipment in the event of a lightning strike. However, to ensure a greater radius of action and efficiency, high metal poles began to be used to install lightning receivers. This made it possible to protect not only a separate building, but also a larger area around it.
We manufacture multi-faceted galvanized poles for lightning receivers from high-quality steel by bending. The trunk of the pole has a conical faceted shape and consists of separate sections (up to 12 m each). The trunk diameter and wall thickness of the structure are calculated individually in accordance with the requirements of the project.
Metal faceted poles for lightning receivers demonstrate a number of advantages, including:
- COMBINATION WITH LIGHTING OF OBJECTS:
These poles can also be used to accommodate lighting devices, combining the function of lightning protection with area lighting.
- CONVENIENCE OF TRANSPORTATION AND INSTALLATION:
The prefabricated structure of the poles (from several sections) allows for their easy transportation and quick installation on site. Thanks to this, logistics and installation costs can be significantly reduced.
- MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS FOR LAND ALLOCATION:
Large land plots are not needed for the placement of such poles. This makes them optimal for use in places with limited space.
- AESTHETIC APPEARANCE:
Galvanized metal poles have a minimalist design and neutral color, which allows them to be harmoniously combined with any architectural style.
To ensure maximum service life, metal structures are subjected to the treatment using the hot-dip galvanizing method. The anti-corrosion coating protects the poles from the destructive effects of moisture and other atmospheric factors. This allows to increase the service life of the product to 50–70 years.
We offer the manufacture of reliable metal structures for lightning protection. Our specialists will help you choose an individual solution that will best meet the requirements of your facility.
