With hundreds and millions of dollars in assets on the line, companies should protect these massive investments from every risk possible, including lightning damage.
Major hazards caused by lightning:
Fire damage: The biggest threat lightning poses to a structure is fire. Wood and other flammable construction materials can easily explode when exposed to the high temperature of a lightning strike. Lightning current traveling through wires and pipelines instantly burns them up, causing complete damage to property.
Power surge damage: If lightning chooses electrical wiring as its primary or secondary path, the explosive surge can damage all the appliances it is connected to.
Shock wave damage: Lightning produces shock waves that can be destructive. These shock waves can fracture concrete, brick, and stone chimneys severely.
