Consultancy and Design
At Direct Strike, consultancy and design is where every project begins. The team sits down with you to understand the site, the risks, and how the building will actually be used, then turns that into a practical, buildable protection strategy.
ATLAS‑accredited designers develop systems to EN 62305, UNE 1186, NFC 17‑102 and related standards, balancing safety, reliability, and cost so you get a solution that is compliant on paper and reliable in the real world.


Our Design Services Include
Our design team develops complete lightning and earthing solutions tailored to each project. Systems are engineered to current IEC, IEEE and national standards, balancing safety, reliability and cost.
Coordinated Lightning Protection Design: Integrated air-termination, down conductor and earthing layouts designed to comply with ISEN 62035, IEC 61400‑24, IEC TS 62738, IEC 60364, IEC TR 63227, IEEE 998, IEEE 1243, IEEE 1410, IEEE 1692, ITU‑T and NFC 17‑102.
Grounding Design and Verification: Design and checking of grounding systems to IEEE 80, EN 50522, IEC TS 62738, ENA EREC S36, ENA TS 41‑24 and BS 7430.
Layouts and Drawings: Detailed 2D and 3D CAD layouts and system blueprints using AutoCAD and Navisworks for both external and internal protection systems.


Our Consultancy Services
Our consultancy team provides independent studies, verification and advice to ensure every lightning and earthing system is safe, compliant and cost‑effective. Services follow current IEC, IEEE, ISO and national guidance and are supported by advanced software tools.
Design Verification: We offer meticulous verification of existing designs and schematics to ensure they meet all required safety and operational standards.
Lightning Risk Assessment: We conduct comprehensive lightning risk assessments, strictly adhering to IEC 62305, NFPA 780 standards and national regulations, using tools such as DEHNsupport Toolbox and CDEGS SESShield
Cost‑Efficiency Consultation: We provide advice on cost‑efficiency, helping clients identify budget‑friendly, standards‑compliant materials and design options.
On‑site Surveys: We carry out exhaustive on‑site surveys to identify potential non‑conformities with international and national standards.
Witnessing Installation, Commissioning, Testing and Measurement: We witness installation and testing to standards such as IEEE 81, BS 7430, BS EN 50522 and IEC 62305, and issue detailed reports on any defects.
Interference, EMC and Transient Studies: We perform interference studies for pipeline, telecom and rail systems, along with high‑frequency, EMC and transient studies using EMTP‑RV and CDEGS.
Quantitative Risk Assessment: We conduct quantitative risk assessments in line with ISO, BS EN and CIGRE documents to prevent unnecessary expenditure on earthing and lightning materials.
Underground Investigation Services: We locate and map subterranean infrastructure such as earthing conductors, gas and water pipes and other metallic objects to enable safe planning of new works.
