Explore our onsite services
From essential earthing and lightning audits to advanced pre design support and full turnkey delivery, PPI provides expert onsite services that help clients achieve compliance from design through to installation and commissioning.
Our site specific earthing and lightning protection audits help identify risks, compliance gaps and asset vulnerabilities before design, upgrade or remedial works commence.
- Lightning protection incident investigations, including root cause analysis and damage pathway assessment.
- Lightning protection TARP reviews, including risk assessment and practical improvement recommendations.
- Annual lightning protection system audits, assessing condition, continuity and compliance with applicable standards.
- Annual high voltage earthing audits, including visual inspection and verification of critical earthing components.
- Compliance assessments against Australian Standards, utility specifications and site specific engineering requirements.
- Condition assessments of existing earthing and lightning protection infrastructure, including corrosion, mechanical damage and unauthorised modifications.
- Review of as built documentation against installed systems to identify discrepancies and undocumented changes.
- Risk based prioritisation of remedial works to support maintenance planning and capital upgrade decisions.
- Audit reporting for safety, engineering and asset management stakeholders, with clear findings, risk ratings and recommended actions.
We deliver site-specific earthing and lightning protection engineering solutions backed by practical, real world experience.
Our in-house engineering and technical team brings more than 35 years of combined experience and is supported by specialist service partners who have delivered design services across Australia, Asia and the Pacific Islands.
With a focus on constructability, safety and compliance, we develop solutions that are aligned with project requirements, site conditions and real world delivery.
- Site soil resistivity testing, computer modelling and detailed earthing design using CDEGS software.
- Substation and industrial earthing design to achieve compliant step and touch potential limits in line with Australian substation earthing guidelines.
- Specialised earthing design for large scale infrastructure, including solar PV arrays and wind turbine installations, with earth potential rise and lightning transient analysis.
- Lightning protection system design for facilities requiring protection against direct lightning strikes, in accordance with applicable Australian and international standards.
- Computer modelled lightning protection designs and preparation of compliant documentation for tender and construction packages.
- High voltage earth system testing using low current, off frequency current injection testing methods, including tuned voltmeter measurement of step and touch voltages.
In addition to engineering design, PPI provides turnkey solutions that support safe, efficient delivery through to installation and commissioning.
