Beyond routine inspection, our team carries out detailed technical testing to verify your system performs safely under real fault conditions, not just that it's physically intact.

  • Step- and touch-potential testing — Testing carried out where required, making sure anyone on site can move around safely during a fault.

  • Current-injection testing — Testing on critical paths to prove the overall effectiveness of the protection system, not just individual components.

  • Impedance and loop testing — Testing on key circuits to support fast, accurate fault detection and disconnection.

  • Preventative maintenance and corrective action — Agreed corrective actions to fix issues early and help extend the working life of your protection system.

Testing and Maintenance

System Advantages and Benefits

Our engineers get hands-on with your system, carrying out routine inspections and performance tests to catch problems early and keep your protection system compliant and ready to perform.

  • Routine inspections and compliance checks — Routine inspections of your lightning protection and earthing systems in line with EN 62305, so you stay compliant and up to date with current standards.

  • Continuity and resistance testing — Checking that conductors, joints, and electrodes are performing properly across the whole system.

  • Fall-of-potential and soil resistivity testing — Understanding how the ground is behaving and assessing the real condition of each earth electrode.

Our Design Services Include

Looking after your lightning protection and earthing systems is not a once-and-done task. They need regular check-ups so they stay safe, compliant, and ready to do their job when a fault or strike happens.

ATLAS-accredited designers develop systems to EN 62305, UNE 1186, and NFC 17-102, balancing safety, reliability, and cost.

Our Testing & Maintenance Standards

  • Extended system lifespan — Regular maintenance catches wear and corrosion before they become failures.

  • Guaranteed compliance — Ongoing testing keeps your system aligned with EN 62305 and current standards.

  • Reduced downtime risk — Issues are identified and corrected before they cause an outage.

  • Verified real-world performance — Testing proves the system works as a whole, not just component-by-component.
