Expert consulting for data centres, energy, critical infrastructure, and oil & gas, New Zealand-based, serving APAC, the Middle East and West Africa.
Lightning is unpredictable. Its consequences don't have to be. The difference between a facility that rides out a strike and one that suffers catastrophic damage comes down to the engineering behind the protection, risk assessment precision, design rigour, surge coordination, earthing integrity.
For most facilities, that engineering was done once, by whoever was available, and hasn't been revisited since. Standards have changed. Equipment has been added. SPDs have degraded. Nobody's checked whether the system that was compliant on day one still protects what needs protecting today.
That's the problem Aetheric exists to solve.

Explore RaaS →Uptime-critical protection for the infrastructure the digital economy depends on. SPD coordination, equipotential bonding, and signal reference grid integrity.
Wind turbine earthing, solar inverter protection, substation ground grids, and collection system bonding across generation, transmission, and storage assets.
Transportation, telecommunications, water, and government facilities where public safety and essential service continuity depend on reliable protection.
Offshore platforms, refineries, storage terminals, and pipeline infrastructure. Hazardous area compliance, cathodic protection integration, and explosion hazard management.
Plenty of engineering firms include lightning protection somewhere on their capability list. Here's why the expert matters:
No generalist compromises. No lightning protection as an afterthought inside a broader electrical practice. Our team, tools, and professional development are entirely focused on this discipline.
Skytree Scientific for AI-powered risk assessment with real-time lightning data. XGSLab for electromagnetic modelling, earthing analysis and modelling, and protection system validation. Megger DET2/3 for precision field testing.
IEC 62305, AS/NZS 1768:2021, NFPA 780, API RP 2003, IEC 62793, and regional codes across New Zealand, APAC, the Middle East and West Africa. We know the standards landscape and how it varies by jurisdiction.
AutoCAD drawings with Revit, Navisworks, and BIM compatibility. Specifications contractors can price against. SPD coordination studies electricians can install from. The gap between analysis and implementation is where protection fails, our deliverables close it.
Stop treating lightning protection as a one-off project.
Most protection systems get no expert attention between installation and the moment something fails. Aetheric's Resiliency as a Service (RaaS) provides ongoing protection management through a subscription, scheduled testing, SPD monitoring, compliance verification, and proactive maintenance that keeps your systems performing year after year.
Three tiers, Essential, Advanced, and Strategic, scaled to your facility's complexity and criticality.
Aetheric is headquartered in New Zealand and provides services across APAC, the Middle East and West Africa, each region with its own lightning climate, standards landscape, and regulatory environment. Consistent technical quality, locally compliant delivery.
