Lightning is a global threat—yet often a local afterthought. While the United States observes National Lightning Safety Awareness Week every June, the risks and realities extend far beyond American borders. In Southeast Asia, where thunderstorms are frequent and infrastructure is diverse, the need for proactive lightning protection is even more urgent. At LYTECH, we use […]
The oil and gas industry operates in high-risk environments—where flammable materials, complex infrastructure, and mission-critical operations meet unpredictable weather events like lightning. In such settings, even a single lightning strike can result in catastrophic consequences, including fires, explosions, environmental disasters, or prolonged downtime. At LYTECH, we understand these risks deeply. That’s why we prioritise compliance
Lightning may seem like a rare occurrence, but its impact on structures, systems, and lives can be devastating. A single strike can cause fires, structural damage, equipment failure, and even loss of life. This is why having a lightning protection system (LPS) isn’t enough: regular audits are crucial to ensure these systems continue to perform
