Steel structures are protected from lightning strikes through the installation of lightning rods, also known as air terminals, at the highest points of the structure. These rods provide a path of least resistance for the lightning to follow, diverting the electrical current away from the building and into the ground. Additionally, steel structures are often equipped with grounding systems, which help dissipate the lightning's energy and prevent damage to the structure and its occupants.
Steel structures are protected from lightning strikes by installing lightning rods or conductive systems that safely direct the electrical current from the strike into the ground, preventing damage to the structure.
Steel structures are protected from lightning strikes through the installation of lightning rods or air terminals on the top of the structure. These rods help to attract the lightning strike and provide a path for the electrical discharge to safely travel to the ground, away from the structure. Additionally, bonding and grounding systems are also installed to further dissipate the electrical energy and prevent damage to the steel structure.
