1. Scope of Works
Scope of Activities
This scope defines the minimum standards to be adopted when installing Lightning
Protection System according to construction co-ordination drawings. A lightning
protection system performs a simple task. It provides a specified path on which
lightning can travel. When a building structure is equipped with a lightning protection
system, the destructive power of the lightning strike is directed safely into the
ground, leaving the structure and personal belongings unharmed.
Site Procedure
Site mobilization shall be done with real time monitoring the conditions & progress of
builder works. Before commencement of the work, carry out examination of the
physical condition of the area. Photographs should be taken where necessary, prior
to commencement and during works.

Method Statement
I. Preparation stage
a. The principle components of a conventional structural lightning protection system
are
1. Air Termination Network
2. Down Conductors
3. Earth Termination Network
4. Bonding
b. Specification allows the use of 'natural conductors' such as rebars and structural
steelwork, provided that they are electrically continuous and adequately earthed.
c. Prior to install lightning protection system examine paths to ensure all areas free
of debris that may interfere with the installation.
d. Inventory all items immediately after unloading, using manufactures packing list.
e. All the related material should be stored away from high traffic areas.
h. Earth termination network: The means of dissipating the current to the general mass
of earth. Choose an earth electrode to suit the ground conditions in the locality of
the structure. Electrodes are available in the form of rods and plates (lattice or solid)
i. Earth rod clamps: Select a high copper content alloy earth rod clamp for the
connection of the earthing conductor to the earth rod. In this below ground

application, the clamp must ensure a good electrical contact and resist corrosion
throughout the lifetime of the installation.
j. Earth inspection chambers: Select an earth inspection chamber to protect the earth
electrode connections.
Select the correct type of metalwork bond for the application, ie a flat column face, a
circular rainwater pipe or a ribbed reinforcing bar
l. Depending on the specification, the down conductor tapes can be thermal weld to
the rebar and casted in the column or run in a continuous strip on the surface of the

external wall.
m. For casting of column, floor, continuous supervision is necessary to ensure that the
tape is extended before the main builder close up form work before casting.
Approved clamps to be used for extension tape.
n. Down conductor network: The down conductor system is the means of carrying the
current of a lightning strike safely to the earth termination network.
o. Conductor fixings: Select the correct system of fixings for each part of the conductor
system
p. Air termination network: The air termination network is the point of connection for a
lightning strike. It typically consists of a meshed conductor arrangement covering
the roof of the structure.
Use air terminals in the form of vertical air rods for the protection of prominent roof
top features or equipment. Use strike pads to expose concealed conductors

q. Air terminal bases: Choose the correct air terminal base. This will ensure that the
vertical air rods are both solidly fixed to the fabric of the structure and have a low
resistance connection to the conductor network
s. Test clamps: In order to allow periodic disconnection and testing of the earth
termination network, select a test clamp to be placed within the run of each down
conductor.

t. After installation, Engineer- in-charge shall check the complete works and complete
the inspection check list for Lightning Protection System installation works (See
Annecure:1)
u. Engineer-in-charge shall arrange and request for inspection with the Owner’s
representative Residential Technical Officer (RTO) using approved Main con
Request for Inspection (RIN) form.
4. Acess / Egress
Proper step ladders shall be provided for access and egress into Distribution board as
applicable.
5. Lighting
Adequate temporary/task lighting shall be provided if work to be carried at night or at dark
places.
