Conductors

The conductor is the most important component of any earthing or structural lightning protection system. Here at Furse, we offer a diverse range of aluminium and copper conductors in all the conventional formats, including flat tap, stranded and solid circular. We know that the colour of your conductor tape is important for the overall appearance of your building. That’s why Furse offers a variety of UV stabilised, PVC covered tapes and solid circular conductors in colours that are chosen to blend seamlessly with common building materials. We also produce a vast range of bare copper, tape and stranded conductors for sub-surface earthing applications.

Site Surveys and Analysis

So that we can provide the right solution for your application, Furse offers site surveys and analysis conducted by our expert engineers. They’ll undertake resistivity measurements and earth analysis, meaning they can then design bespoke earthing systems that are fit for your application. We provide drawings, calculations and a detailed report, and if your happy with our proposals, we'll install your lightning protection system. Our site analysis includes soil resistivity readings at various depths, full earthing analysis to determine the step and touch voltages, and earth resistance measurement.
