About This Episode
In this episode, E&S Ground Solutions President David Stockin talks about lightning protection systems and whether or not they actually work. Lightning Protections Systems have been proven to be an effective method for protecting structures from lightning damage since the days of Benjamin Franklin. Providing an alternate and more conductive path to the earth for hazardous electrical lightning energy to travel on, typically in the form of a series of copper conductors, has been proven time and time again to protect our flammable buildings from fire and other objectionable effects of lightning strikes.
