EL-029 / LIGHTNING PROTECTION / ROOF

PRIORITY / MAJOR

OBSERVED

Elements of the lightning protection system are not connected in the recorded roof area, so continuity of this section of the system is not ensured.

RISK

Loss of continuity in the lightning protection system may prevent this section from performing its design function.

WHAT TO CHECK

The lightning protection design schematic, specified connection of elements in this area, actual system continuity, and results of the required control measurements.

RECOMMENDED ACTION

Restore the connection of lightning protection elements specified in the design and, after completion, confirm continuity of the relevant section through the necessary checks/measurements.

PRIORITY / MAJOR

Priority reflects an engineering assessment of the recorded condition in the circumstances of the particular project. It does not replace a designer’s opinion, testing or measurements where these are required.

These examples show the format of engineering records. The final assessment takes into account the design documentation, design solutions and conditions of the specific project.
