ENERGY / GROUNDING SYSTEMS

Protection starts in the ground.

We measure, diagnose, design, rehabilitate and integrate grounding systems to protect people, equipment and critical infrastructure.

PRINCIPLE
Grounding is not only a target resistance value. It is the relationship between soil, electrodes, conductors, equipotential bonding, protection systems and the real operation of the facility.
FIELD MEASUREMENT

Measure the ground before intervening.

Proper measurement separates perception from evidence and enables grounding architecture to be designed around real site conditions.

M01

3-point method

Ground resistance measurement using auxiliary current and potential electrodes.

Ground resistanceAuxiliary electrodesField verification
M02

4-point method

Soil resistivity characterization to understand ground behavior and support electrode system design.

GROUNDING WORKFLOW

From survey to verification.

Designing without measurement leads to assumptions. Our sequence begins by understanding the facility and ends by verifying the implemented system.

SOLUTION ARCHITECTURE

There is no single way to ground a facility.

The solution depends on soil, electrical architecture, available space, protected assets and integration with other protection systems.

01

Design and rehabilitation

Engineering of new systems or recovery of existing installations based on measurements, physical condition and operational requirements.

02

Conventional grounding

Electrodes, grids, rings, conductors and equipotential bonding configured around the electrical architecture of the facility.

03

Magnetoactive solutions

Specialized alternatives for specific soil or space conditions, selected only after characterizing the installation and the ground.

04

Equipotential bonding and integration

Integration of grounding with panels, equipment, structures, telecommunications, surge protection and lightning protection.

WHEN TO ASSESS

When should grounding be assessed?

There is no need to wait for a failure. Load changes, expansions, electrical noise or a system without recent history can justify a technical assessment.

01Potential differences between equipment
02Protection trips or erratic behavior
03Electrical noise or instrumentation and communications issues
04Existing system without recent measurements or traceability
05Expansions, new equipment or architecture changes
06Integration with lightning protection, UPS, data center or critical infrastructure
APPLICATIONS

Grounding connects multiple disciplines.

A single grounding architecture can support energy, telecommunications, control, data centers, security, lightning protection and critical systems.

ENERGY / CONNECTED CAPABILITY

Grounding is one part of the energy system.

GROUNDING ASSESSMENT

Measure first. Design second.

We can begin with an assessment of your grounding system, field measurements and a review of the electrical architecture to define the next step with evidence.
