Foundation earthing is done using metal components used in construction of the building.
It serves the purpose like safety, functional and Lightning Protection. This is the most
efficient earthing system to protect electronic equipment. Interconnected steel
reinforcement, metal framework of structure, steel roof, metal façade, hand rails etc can
be used as parts of an LPS such as air termination, down conductor and earthing.
Materials used and construction techniques availed must fulöl various mechanical,
electrical and chemical requirements to provide long life for the installation.
This integrated method is not only economical but does not inøuence or spoil the
aesthetics of the building. It also reduces the failure of electronic equipment inside the
building from radiated Lightning effects.
Structural Bonding networks are important for modern buildings with sensitive
electronic installations. Structural bonding networks ensure reduction in conductor
loops and are signiöcant in providing protection for electronics
STRUCTURAL BONDING NETWORK is the economical and efficient way of achieving
Earthing and Bonding requirement of modern electronic installations. As a standard
practice IS 62305 as well as draft IS 732 recommends and allows to use these modern
construction methods in new buildings.
