Technical services Introduction
Customer site surveys
Proper site surveys and analysis complement fully our
in-house service.
Through collation of all relevant information from site,
including soil resistivity measurements and earthing
analysis, our engineers can produce bespoke earthing
designs complete with drawings, calculations and a
detailed report, along with a structural lightning
protection system if required.
Soil resistivity surveys
A comprehensive soil resistivity survey is key to
creating an effective earthing system, as inadequate
or erroneous soil resistivity readings are likely to result
in a flawed design.
Furse site surveys take multiple accurate soil resistivity
readings at various depths across the site. As these
results form the basis of the whole earthing design,
the experience of our engineers is critical in ensuring
correct implementation of the test data.
Full earthing analysis
Full earthing analysis uses state-of-the-art technology
to determine the step and touch voltages, earth
potential rise and hot/cold site classification of the site
generated by the initial design.
Earth resistance measurement
Earth resistance measurement is essential to accurately
determine that the installed earthing system meets the
anticipated criteria laid out in the initial design.
Our technicians ensure all measurements are correctly
taken and interpreted, so that the true resistance of
the earthing system can be defined precisely.
