For the team responsible for an operating site
Facilities managers, industrial maintenance teams, warehouse operators and commercial building owners need a usable record of condition, measurements and actions. Solar sites also need coordination with equipment instructions, bonding arrangements and the existing electrical design.
Share the site city and type, approximate number of earth points or buildings, last available test report and any known damage or alterations. We review access, qualified personnel and the requested scope before confirming availability or a proposal.
A scope built around the installed system
- Review the records. Existing drawings, previous readings, asset labels, installation changes and maintenance history help define the inspection.
- Inspect accessible components. Review visible conductors, accessible bonding connections, test joints, fixing condition and visible deterioration. Concealed or inaccessible work needs a separately agreed method.
- Agree suitable measurements. Earth-resistance tests depend on the system, isolation arrangements, parallel paths and space for test electrodes. Continuity or other checks are included only where agreed and technically appropriate.
- Record findings and next actions. Document the agreed observations, test method and conditions, readings, limitations and recommended corrective actions. Agree any rectification separately.
What the proposal should make clear
Confirm before scheduling
- Buildings, assets and accessible test points included.
- Inspection frequency based on the applicable requirements, environment, system condition and site assessment.
- Safe access, permits, shutdowns and isolation responsibilities.
- Test method, reporting format and agreed acceptance basis.
- Who reviews findings and approves corrective work.
Agree separately where needed
- Replacement materials, excavation and concealed connections.
- Roof access arrangements, scaffolding or lifting equipment.
- Design verification, LPS risk assessment or system redesign.
- Emergency attendance, repairs and additional visits.
- Any certification or third-party approval specifically required by the project.
A reading alone does not establish the safety or compliance of the whole installation. There is no universal resistance target or fixed inspection interval suitable for every site. Final methods and acceptance criteria require qualified technical review.
Common maintenance questions
Can you assess an installation built by another contractor?
We can review the requested scope and available records. Confirm access, the system arrangement and any known defects first; an assessment is not an automatic endorsement of the original design.
Do we need testing after a lightning event or building alteration?
Report the event or alteration to the responsible site engineer. Additional inspection or testing may be required after damage, a suspected strike or changes to the protection system. The appropriate checks depend on the installation and applicable requirements.
Does an AMC include all repair materials?
Only if expressly included in the agreed proposal. Inspection and reporting, corrective labour, replacement materials and emergency response should each have a clear scope.
Start with your latest report.
Tell us the site city, system type and whether you need a one-off assessment or a recurring maintenance proposal. Scope, frequency and availability are confirmed after review.
