Design Guidance

Consulting Engineers
R. C. Cutting provide lightning protection for existing buildings as well as new build projects. It is the combination of experience and industry knowledge that allows our designers and onsite workers to interact on a wide variety of projects from historical buildings, high rise and commercial. The current British Standard is BSEN62305:2006, which requires a detailed Risk Assessment to determine the correct level of protection necessary. To define the lightning protection for your project based on BS6651:1999, complete the basic questionnaire attached and a result will be displayed that would show whether Lightning Protection would have been required - if yes, it is highly likely that this will be required under the newer standard . Our designers are also available by phone or email to answer any of your questions or concerns. If you would like us to conduct a Risk Assessment to BSEN62305 - please contact our designers accordingly.

Architects
R. C. Cutting understands the interaction between a lightning protection system and the overall presentation of the building. That is why R C Cutting was the preferred supplier to designers of such projects as the Millennium Dome and the new Wembley National Stadium. We offer advice on the use of structure as part of the earthing process as well as (W.J. Furse) coloured fittings to blend into the overall look.
