Lightning Protection Systems (LPS)
The Lightning Protection System (LPS), popularly known as "lightning rods," is a fundamental safety system designed to protect buildings, equipment, and, most importantly, lives against the direct and indirect effects of lightning strikes.
All projects and installations by E.S.A strictly follow the ABNT NBR 5419:2015 standard, which establishes requirements for the design and implementation of the system. Our service ensures that your structure is fully protected and in legal compliance for Fire Department licensing (AVCB) and insurance purposes.
