WE ARE

Every engagement begins with a structured engineering assessment. We evaluate your existing lightning protection, grounding, surge protection, and bonding systems against NFPA 780, UL 96A, and IEEE 1100 standards. For facilities over five years old, we perform downlead resistance testing to verify what visual inspection cannot reveal: the actual condition of buried and concealed grounding systems. The result is a documented risk profile — not an assumption.

A Lyncole engineer reviews assessment findings and designs a remediation or new-build specification tailored to the facility’s risk profile, applicable standards, and operational constraints. We do not apply generic templates. Each design accounts for facility layout, equipment density, utility entry points, and the long-term monitoring architecture the facility will need. Design deliverables are stamped engineering documents suitable for permitting, insurance review, and owner recordkeeping.

Through the VFC Group family of companies — including VFC Lightning Protection and Taylor Lightning Protection — Lyncole delivers certified installation nationwide. We self-perform lightning protection, grounding, bonding, and surge protection work, and coordinate directly with the general contractor and electrical contractor to keep critical-path schedules. Installations are completed to UL Master Label standard and documented for owner records.

The Lyncole LightningLink Smart Protection System converts a passive safety asset into a continuously monitored system. The GRM 2500 tracks ground resistance in real time — detecting degradation trends before they become failures. StrikeSense logs every lightning event at the facility. The Lyncole Smart Monitor Portal delivers a single-pane view of system health, event history, and alert notifications. This is what separates install-and-forget from genuine resilience.

A lightning protection system is only as reliable as its last verified inspection. Lyncole provides annual inspection and maintenance programs that keep systems current with evolving standards, document ongoing compliance for insurers and regulators, and address the gradual degradation that all grounding systems experience over time. Our maintenance programs include calibrated testing, visual inspection, component replacement, and updated compliance documentation — delivered on a scheduled basis so facilities teams never miss a cycle.
