The risk

One strike can shut your business down.

Australia's east coast storm season brings intense thunderstorms. A direct or nearby strike can cause fire, structural damage and electrical surges that destroy equipment — and the downtime often costs more than the repair.

Don't leave valuable commercial assets exposed.

Common questions

Does my building need lightning protection?+

Tall structures, exposed sites, buildings with sensitive equipment, and anywhere storing hazardous material are typical candidates. A risk assessment tells you for certain.

How often should a system be inspected?+

Systems should be inspected and tested periodically, and after any known strike. We can schedule audits so you never miss one.

Can you audit a system someone else installed?+

Yes. We service and audit multiple lightning protection systems, regardless of who installed them.

Do you work outside Queensland?+

Yes — we install and audit systems across Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne, and travel Australia-wide for specialist work.
