Grounding Systems

Your sensitive electronic equipment is vital to your operation. It is imperative that this sensitive equipment be protected from lightning strikes, power surges, and other unexpected acts that may compromise its stability and operation.

SSC Grounding System Design understands these critical threats to your continual operation, and we design grounding systems engineered to perform under abnormal conditions. Our years of professional experience in the telecommunication and infrastructure industries mean we understand your concerns and the threats to your 
system, and we provide well-tested approaches to mitigating unexpected occurrences.

We understand the critical design components that must be evaluated during the design of your protection systems. Conductor type and size, ground rod diameter and length, connector type, ground bar construction, bonding jumpers, ground riser routing, and suppressor configuration are but a few of the considerations we typically include our designs. We also take it a step further than most. We measure soil resistivity during the design process and take in to account the significant influence that soil composition, moisture content, and base temperature will have on your installation. 

Once installed, grounding systems must be tested to verify their resistance to earth, using a variety of means including "Fall-of-Potential" or "Clamp-On" testing. SSC Ground System Testing provides these critical evaluation services, giving you the peace of mind of knowing that you are truly protected. Since grounding systems should also be routinely tested after implementation to trend system performance degradation over time, we also provide routine periodic evaluation of existing facilities.

SSC provides grounding system design, inspection and testing services, combining experienced professionals with advanced design and modeling tools. Contact SSC and let us help you protect your valuable infrastructure assets.
