A: Best case — you lose sensors or electronics. Worst case — a fire or explosion. Even one incident can cause major damage and downtime.

A: More often than you’d think. Texas alone sees thousands of lightning strikes every year, and the oilfield is full of open sites and metal tanks — prime targets.

A: Most tanks are grounded, but standard grounding doesn’t always handle a direct lightning hit. A full protection system directs that energy safely into the ground before it causes sparks or fires.

A: We install air terminals (lightning rods), bonding conductors, and grounding networks that redirect the energy straight to earth — keeping your equipment and people safe.

A: Not compared to what you could lose. One good system can save thousands in repairs, insurance claims, and downtime. It’s a one-time investment for long-term safety.

A: Most standard setups can be installed in a day or two depending on the site. We work fast and make sure your system meets code and industry standards.

A: Just an occasional inspection — we recommend once a year or after major storms to make sure everything’s still grounded tight and connected.

A: Because one strike can shut down your operation in seconds. Lightning can ignite vapors, damage tanks, and take out equipment fast. A protection system gives that energy a safe path to ground — keeping your site, crew, and investment safe.
