Our earthing installations can include:
Inspection and testing of earth electrode systems is essential to ensure they remain in a safe and effective condition. Poorly maintained systems can result in higher earth rise potentials, than those initially calculated, resulting in higher touch and step voltages being present potentially making the site unsafe.
As part of ongoing maintenance, Vectis recommends that all systems are visually inspected and individual electrodes are measured annually.
Our nationwide specialist inspection, testing and maintenance engineers enable us to test earthing systems, assess their condition and if required, make recommendations for improvement to bring systems in line with the required standards.
