The Solution:
ICP Inspections Reduce Risk
Reasons for an Inspection:
1. An ICP inspection ensures proper installation of the lightning protection system according to current national safety standards. This should occur as new buildings are built or as existing buildings are remodeled and should be done by an independent inspector who is not affiliated with the installer of the lightning protection system to eliminate any conflict of interest.
- Independent from installer
- New construction
- Remodels
- Mature construction
How often is an inspection needed?
A complete, in-depth inspection should be completed every 3 to 5 years. This comprehensive inspection should include a visual inspection along with tests to verify the integrity of concealed cables, determine proper equipotential bonding, and measure ground resistance of grounding electrode terminations. Data from these tests allow performance of the system to be benchmarked and tracked over time to know when end-of-life has been reached and replacement should be made.
- Bonding
- Ground Resistance
- Benchmarking
