Earthing and static control
Earthing systems play a vital role in protecting assets, networks and personnel. We design, install and certify earthing systems for the full range of lightning protection, HV electrical and static control applications.
Lightning protection testing and earthing grid testing must be carried out when the installation is completed and on a regular basis thereafter, by competent personnel using calibrated test equipment. Our complete service includes:
Earth resistance is not a fixed property of a building. Soil moisture, ground works, landscaping, new services, corrosion at joints and the gradual loss of electrode contact all move the reading. A system that certified comfortably five years ago can fail today with no visible change at roof level, which is why periodic measured testing — not visual inspection alone — is what AS/NZS 1768 requires.
Fixed price $990 inc GST per building. We meet you on site, inspect and test the system, and issue your certificate.
Our trained personnel inspect all air terminals, conductors, joints and bonds, carry out continuity testing across the conductors and the total system, measure earth resistance on individual electrodes and the complete system, carry out soil resistivity testing and analysis where new earthing is involved, and issue a detailed condition report with recommendations and costings.
Yes. Earth resistance testing on individual electrodes and the complete earthing system is part of the LPS test, and we also test standalone earthing grids and static earthing systems for industrial and plant applications.
