- The Electroshield Standard
Where failure is not an option, protection is engineered — never assumed.
Across airports, data centers, petrochemical plants and defense facilities, we design to prove performance, not just satisfy a checklist.
- Sectors We Serve
Protection for the region’s critical infrastructure
Trusted across the sectors where downtime, failure and electrical risk are simply not acceptable.
- Certifications & Proof

Questions engineers ask us
1. What is a lightning protection system (LPS)?
A Lightning Protection System (LPS) is designed to safely intercept, conduct, and dissipate lightning current into the ground, protecting people, buildings, and electrical equipment. A complete system includes air terminals, down conductors, earth termination, bonding, and surge protection devices.
2. Why is lightning protection important in Saudi Arabia?
Saudi Arabia experiences frequent thunderstorms in many regions, and lightning can cause equipment failure, fire, production downtime, and safety hazards. Properly designed lightning protection minimizes these risks and ensures compliance with international standards.
3. Which standards do you follow?
Electroshield Arabia designs and installs systems according to internationally recognized standards including:
* IEC 62305
* BS EN 62305
* NFPA 780
* IEEE 80
* IEEE 81
* BS 7430
* IEC 60364
* IEC 62561
4. What industries do you serve?
We provide solutions for:
* Data Centers
* Industrial Plants
* Oil & Gas Facilities
* Commercial Buildings
* Hospitals
* Airports
* Telecommunications
* Infrastructure Projects
* Government Facilities
* Power & Utility Projects
5. What is the difference between earthing and grounding?
Earthing and grounding are often used interchangeably. Both refer to connecting electrical systems to the earth to ensure personnel safety, equipment protection, and fault current dissipation. Terminology may vary depending on regional standards.
6. What is soil resistivity testing?
Soil resistivity testing measures the electrical resistance of the soil and is the first step in designing an effective grounding system. Accurate soil measurements help determine conductor size, earth electrode configuration, and expected earth resistance.
7. What is the acceptable earth resistance value?
The required earth resistance depends on the application:
* General Lightning Protection: typically below 10 Ω
* Electrical Power Systems: typically below 1 Ω
* Sensitive Equipment & Data Centers: often 0.5 Ω or lower
Actual requirements should always follow the project specifications and applicable standards.
8. What is a surge protection device (SPD)?
A Surge Protection Device (SPD) protects electrical and electronic equipment from transient overvoltages caused by lightning strikes or switching operations, helping prevent costly damage and downtime.
9. Do you provide testing and commissioning services?
Yes. Our services include:
* Earth resistance testing
* Soil resistivity measurements
* Continuity testing
* Bonding verification
* Lightning protection inspection
* SPD inspection
* Complete testing and commissioning reports
10. Can you design customized earthing systems?
Yes. Every project is engineered according to the site’s soil conditions, fault current, electrical system, and applicable standards. We provide complete design calculations, drawings, and technical documentation.
11. Do you provide installation services?
Yes. Electroshield Arabia offers complete Design, Supply, Installation, Testing, and Commissioning (DSITC) services across Saudi Arabia, delivered by qualified engineering teams.
12. How often should a lightning protection system be inspected?
We recommend periodic inspections according to project requirements and applicable standards. Visual inspections are typically performed annually, with detailed testing carried out at defined intervals or after significant lightning events or building modifications.
13. Can you retrofit existing buildings?
Yes. We assess existing installations and provide retrofit solutions for lightning protection, grounding, bonding, and surge protection while minimizing disruption to ongoing operations.
14. What is exothermic welding?
Exothermic welding is a permanent molecular bond created using a chemical reaction. It provides a highly reliable, corrosion-resistant electrical connection commonly used in grounding and lightning protection systems.
15. Why choose Electroshield Arabia?
Electroshield Arabia provides complete engineering solutions from design to commissioning, supported by international standards, experienced engineers, quality materials, and a commitment to delivering safe, reliable, and compliant grounding and lightning protection systems throughout Saudi Arabia.
