Lightning Protection for Healthcare Facilities
There is no more critical application of lightning protection than in the healthcare industry. These facilities incorporate many of the same issues of commercial structures while having the design complexities of a data center. Only a comprehensive design process can adequately meet all of these combined needs. VFC’s lightning protection for healthcare facilities protects the healthcare industry from potential harm and damage.
Healthcare Facility and Hospital Lightning Protection
Hospitals, doctor’s offices, and other healthcare facilities are designed to heal and protect. Thanks to advances in medicine and technology, this is done in many ways that include computers and other electronics. So, what happens if these facilities face a power outage? Unlike average commercial buildings, the stakes are much higher when it comes to healthcare facilities. Hospital lightning protection protects equipment, personnel, and patients through a variety of methods.
Grounding
Proper and effective grounding solutions are a key component of lightning protection for healthcare facilities. VFC and Lyncole proudly offer state-of-the-art and innovative solutions such as the XIT® Electrolytic Grounding System. This lightning protection system for buildings is designed to prevent equipment failure making it perfect for a healthcare facility.
Implementation
The implementation of lightning protection and grounding systems should be executed by experienced and knowledgeable professionals. At VFC, we offer full implementation of all our services. With our experts taking care of everything, you’ll have peace of mind knowing that your facility will be properly protected.
Surge Protection
Surge suppression is another important factor in hospital lightning protection. While lightning can cause these, most surges occur internally. When you’re working with crucial, life-saving equipment, you can’t afford any disruption. Our team can determine the right surge protection solutions for your building and design a system that keeps your facility running smoothly.
