wheat silos lightning protection

in a word, No! install a separate LPS, you know it makes sense.

Hello omar.a,

Can you tell me what Country you are in please? It makes it a lot easier when searching.

Take care.

We are living in Republic of Yemen, which is located south of Red sea - or south of Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. And this industry is belong to HSA group.

Hello omar.a,

Thank you for getting back to me.

You say the HSA owns these silos? Is that a Bank?

What are you actually asking, is it your job to make these structures 'safe'?

Can you tell me if they have owned them for long and why they apparently do not have any lightening conductor and or fire suppressants?

Take care.

Dear babybear Thank you for your fast reply ... HSA it is not a bank it is a group of companies called Hayel Saeed Anam . I working as electrical engineer in one company Yemen Company for flour Mills and Silos (YCFMS) my job this time to make LPS for this silos which part of my company,we have LPS but not according to any standard.I took a course for lightning protection installation by UL96A in Dubai before two months. I want to start in the right way. With best regards Eng. Omar

Hello omar.a,

I thank you for your gracious post.

I wish you luck with your career and hope you did not take any insult from my previous posts.

I think you may find any lightening conductors fitted as the silos were built, perhaps? They are not the easiest structure to work on after all.

However, to the job in hand and your request. It seems your instruction on lightening conductor fitting leave a lot to be desired. Why else would you be asking such details only a month or two after you went on this course?

OK, lets assume you know the hands on, practical stuff of how to. But my suggestion would be to ask your local Farming Association or perhaps read the details I sent in my second post with the instructions on how to install conductors on a Farm. You can always start the job you have to do and if you get stuck write in again to this thread for more conformation of a particular detail perhaps?

Can I also say this site has many contributing Members on week days than do not always visit here at weekends. Please take a while over the next couple of days to see if any other Member posts. They are sure to do so.

Take care and good luck.

Great answer, you said what i wanted to but I just didn't have the time

Hello brich,

I am going to say "welcome", because I do not recall having posted you before, OK?

Very much appreciated, thanks once again. And good luck with any future posts.

Take care.
