Here's what typically happens: a facility commissions a protection system, files the compliance documentation, and moves on. Five years later, SPDs have degraded unnoticed, earthing connections have corroded, standards have been updated, the facility has been modified — and the protection system is now a liability nobody knows about.
Aetheric's Resiliency as a Service (RaaS) provides continuous lightning protection management through a subscription model — structured, proactive programmes that keep your systems performing and compliant year after year.
The Problem with Project-Based Protection
- SPDs degrade silently — finite lifespans, can fail without visible indication, leaving equipment exposed
- Earthing systems deteriorate — corrosion, soil changes, and physical damage go undetected without periodic testing
- Standards evolve — what was compliant at installation may no longer meet current requirements
- Facilities change — new equipment, building modifications, and load changes affect protection adequacy
- Knowledge walks out the door — staff turnover means institutional knowledge of protection systems is lost
