Indelec Solution
Only structure in the bay, the risk of a lightning strike on the structure is important specially during the raining season.
Indelec provided a complete Risk Analysis Assessment and Technical Survey for this site.
In order to prevent damages on the structure and because the top of the 4 lower piles reach 40 meters height and is not accessible for maintenance, we installed our latest technology: PREVECTRON 3 S60 CONNECT allowing Tanroads to have a daily maintenance report on the installation.
Our expertise in Lightning protection allowed us to provide a detail design and equipment to protect the main pile of 70 meters height with a very old technology also known as ‘conventional’.
