OUR SOLUTIONS

Analyze. Monitor. Protect.

Lightning Risk Assessment (LRA) & Lightning Protection Systems (LPS)

Accurately assess your lightning problems and deliver the right solutions. Comprehensive LRAs identify and quantify lightning risks for assets and personnel. LRA-driven recommendations guide LPS design requirements to deliver a holistic solution.

Lightning & Surge Monitoring

Make informed operational decisions using real-time data. Be aware of lightning occurrence and the precise impacts on your operation. State-of-the-art lightning instrumentation monitors, detects, and accurately measures direct and indirect lightning effects.

Maintenance & Inspection

Keep your LPS “evergreen” and compliant with the standards.

A consultative approach based on proven science

SLS collaborates with customers to engineer solutions that balance lightning risk tolerance and costs while maximizing value.

The most prominent commercial and government launch providers use SLS solutions. They have exacting requirements for lightning protection and monitoring of critical launch complexes, vehicles, and payloads. Similarly, military installations demand precision lightning detection, location and lightning protection systems for ordnance and non-typical structures.

Lightning-related equipment and infrastructure downtime, prolonged service outages, and worker hazards can be minimized via thorough lightning risk assessments, lightning detection and monitoring systems, and proper lightning protection design.

Technology & Industrial Facilities

Data centers and telecom infrastructure are highly vulnerable to direct and indirect lightning effects. Lightning also causes fires, outages, and damage to industrial facilities such as manufacturing, automated warehouses, chemical processing, and commodities storage. Both industry sectors have uptime requirements that demand comprehensive lightning protection & grounding systems in addition to real-time transient monitoring.
