According to industry data, lightning strikes cause billions of dollars in damage globally each year, with industrial facilities among the most vulnerable due to their complex electrical infrastructure and operational sensitivity. Without proper lightning protection, the consequences can be severe\u2014ranging from electrical fires and equipment failure to production downtime and safety risks. Inadequate or outdated systems not only heighten these threats but also complicate insurance claims and lead to non-compliance with safety standards.<\/span><\/p>\n Advanced Lightning Protection Solutions (ALPS) focuses on delivering systems that comply with both local regulations and international standards such as IEC 62305. This ensures that your facility is not only protected from lightning-related incidents but also supported by a fully compliant, resilient solution that reinforces operational continuity and personnel safety.<\/span><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][split_line_heading animation_type=”default”]\n The Advanced Lightning Protection System (ALPS) from Critical Facility Group (CFG) is a scientifically developed strike avoidance solution that protects critical facilities, locations, and assets from direct lightning strikes and the resulting damage and downtime. Unlike traditional lightning rods that attempt to capture strikes, ALPS suppresses upward leader formation, placing the protected facility in the least likely position for lightning termination \u2014 thereby avoiding the strike altogether.<\/span><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” top_padding=”1%” text_align=”left”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”8vh”][image_with_animation image_url=”22477″ animation=”Fade In” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”custom” max_width_custom=”80%”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]\n ALPS Application<\/b><\/p>\n With ALPS, you can:<\/b><\/p>\n A Holistic, Tiered Strategy<\/b><\/p>\n This is part of our Integrated, Tiered Protection strategy. We deliver a holistic solution, from the air to the ground:<\/span><\/p>\n Everything is designed to work seamlessly as one system, ensuring optimal performance and reliability.<\/span><\/p>\n Reliable Failsafe Device<\/b><\/p>\n The effectiveness of the ALPS system is evidenced by its track record. In over 40 years and in multiple large deployments around the world, ALPS technology has had a flawless record of zero strikes to assets under protection.<\/span><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]\n Maximum Protection<\/b><\/p>\n The ALPS system effectively lowers the likelihood of a direct lightning strike within a given area to virtually zero. It does this by building up a space charge shield over its zone of protection. The result is that any asset within the zone no longer presents itself as a path of least resistance to lightning. If a thundercloud overhead discharges lightning, it will strike outside the zone of protection instead.<\/span><\/p>\n Stellar Track Record<\/b><\/p>\n The ALPS tower also functions as a failsafe device in the unlikely event that lightning activity occurs over the zone. In such an instance, the tower is designed to absorb the strike, then work in tandem with complementary solutions from Critical Facility Group to ensure proper grounding and surge protection for the assets within the zone of protection.<\/span><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”2%” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][split_line_heading animation_type=”default”]\n Model R – <\/strong>Unparalleled Performance Lightning Rods<\/td>\n Critical facilities, buildings requiring flexible configuration<\/td>\n Model T<\/strong> – Cost Effective Air Terminal<\/td>\n General commercial and industrial buildings<\/td>\n From risk assessment to ongoing maintenance, we provide end-to-end lightning protection services tailored to your facility\u2019s needs.
