TOP FEATURES
Total solution
End-to-end protection from lightning air termination, down-conductors, earthing, and surge protection devices — all from a single trusted supplier.
FurseWELD® exothermic welding
Permanently fused, low-resistance earth connections using exothermic welding — stronger and longer-lasting than mechanical connections.
Surge protection (SPDs)
Type 1, 2, 3, and hybrid Type 1+2+3 SPDs for mains power, data & signal lines, telecoms, and BESS battery energy storage systems.
StrikeRisk software
Furse’s own lightning risk assessment and management software — calculates risk levels and recommends compliant protection systems per IEC 62305.
Remote monitoring
ESP RDU Volt Free Contact remote display unit provides electronic SPD status indication at a distance — reducing inspection costs and downtime.
Standards compliant
All products designed to BS EN IEC 62305 lightning protection and BS 7671 wiring regulations — continuously updated by Furse’s in-house engineering team.
SOLUTIONS BY INDUSTRY
High-rise buildings
Full Faraday cage lightning protection, down-conductor networks, and SPDs for commercial offices, high-rise towers, and residential blocks.
Data centres
Critical earthing systems and mains/data surge protection to safeguard uptime, equipment, and sensitive data infrastructure from lightning and transients.
Renewable energy
Earthing and SPD solutions for solar farms, wind turbines, and battery energy storage systems (BESS) — including the new BESS DC surge protection series.
Power generation
Robust earthing and lightning protection for power plants and distribution networks where a single lightning event can cause catastrophic outages.
Oil & Gas
Onshore and offshore earthing and bonding systems, FurseWELD® exothermic connections, and explosion-safe SPDs for petrochemical hazardous areas.
Rail transportation
Earthing, bonding, and surge protection for rail infrastructure, signalling systems, and trackside equipment against lightning and traction interference.
Commercial & residential
BS 7671–compliant Furse Select SPDs and earthing systems for commercial office buildings, schools, hospitals, and residential developments.
Telecoms & critical systems
Data, signal, and telecoms line surge protection for communications infrastructure, computer networks, and sensitive electronic control systems.
SYSTEM SOLUTIONS
Lightning Protection — Air Termination
Air termination rods, finials, and Faraday cage systems that intercept and safely capture lightning strikes before they can damage structures or equipment.
Conductors & Conductor Network
Copper, aluminium, and stainless steel tape, strip, and round conductors — routed to carry lightning current safely from air termination to earth.
Earthing — Earth Electrodes
Copper-bonded rods, plates, and deep-driven electrodes to achieve low earth resistance — the foundation of any effective lightning protection system.
Earth Bonds, Clamps & Bars
Bonding clamps, earth bars, and test links that connect structural steelwork, pipework, and equipment to the common earth network.
FurseWELD® Exothermic Welding
Thermite-based exothermic welding system producing permanent, high-current-rated, corrosion-resistant earth connections — with remote ignition option for safety.
Mains Power SPDs
Furse Select and ESP series Type 1, 2 & 3 surge protection devices — including hybrid Type 1+2+3 DT1/MT1 for BS 7671 compliance at all voltage levels.
Data & Signal Protection
SPDs for data lines, Ethernet, RS485, and analogue control signals — protecting sensitive electronics from induced lightning surges and switching transients.
Telecoms & Computer Line Protection
Surge protection for telephone lines, ADSL, ISDN, and fibre-connected systems in commercial, industrial, and telecommunications environments.
BESS & Specific Systems Protection
New BESS DC surge protection series for battery energy storage systems — plus specialist SPDs for solar inverters, EV chargers, and process control systems.
StrikeRisk Management Software
Free lightning risk assessment software that calculates risk to a structure per IEC 62305-2 and recommends the appropriate level of protection measures.
