Industry-specific expertise for the sectors where lightning protection isn't optional.
Lightning risk isn't generic. A data centre protecting millisecond-sensitive IT loads faces fundamentally different challenges than an offshore platform managing explosion hazards, or a wind farm with turbines spread across kilometres of varying terrain. Cookie-cutter approaches don't account for these differences, and the cost of getting it wrong is measured in downtime, equipment loss, safety incidents, and regulatory exposure.
Aetheric's consulting services are shaped by deep understanding of the technical challenges, compliance, and operational priorities specific to each sector we serve. We don't just apply standards, we understand how those standards intersect with how your industry actually works.
Where milliseconds of downtime cost millions.
Data centres house the infrastructure the digital economy depends on. A single strike can cascade through power, telecoms, and cooling, threatening the uptime guarantees your clients rely on. Our designs address high-density electronic loads, tiered redundancy, and 24/7 operational requirements.
Key challenges: SPD coordination across complex power distribution, equipotential bonding for IT equipment, signal reference grid integrity, compliance with uptime tier requirements.
Explore our data centre solutions →Protecting the assets that power the grid.
From wind turbines exposed at height to solar inverters managing sensitive DC systems, energy infrastructure faces some of the highest lightning exposure of any sector. Our expertise spans the full energy value chain, generation, transmission, distribution, storage, with particular depth in renewable assets where geographic distribution amplifies risk.
Key challenges: Turbine blade protection, foundation earthing in varied geology, inverter SPD specification, substation ground grid design, collection system bonding continuity.

Transportation, telecommunications, water treatment, and government facilities form the backbone of public services. Lightning disruption here doesn't just cost money, it threatens public safety and essential service delivery. Our strategies address the interdependencies, regulatory obligations, and continuity requirements unique to critical infrastructure.
Key challenges: Multi-system interdependency, public safety implications, regulatory compliance across jurisdictions, coordination with emergency management, long asset lifecycles.

Offshore platforms, refineries, storage terminals, and pipelines operate where lightning protection intersects with explosion hazard management. The stakes are absolute, inadequate protection in a classified hazardous area can be catastrophic. Our designs integrate with existing bonding, cathodic protection, and hazardous area classification requirements.
Key challenges: Hazardous area compliance, integration with cathodic protection, offshore atmospheric exposure, classified area SPD specification, API RP 2003 requirements.
