GROUND TECH EARTHING COMPANY
Before an electrical earthing / grounding system can be installed a few other activities must first be undertaken. Historically installation companies may have offered to drive a single earth rod and take a range of readings from it at various depths as it is driven in to the ground. To say that this is better than nothing, or a reasonable compromise, is comparable to saying that keeping your fingers crossed will ensure that you win the national lottery. The only thorough, scientific and logical method of determining an electrical earthing system is to undertake a complete soil resistivity survey to an approved methodology. Earthing Services does not endorse anything other than the professional approach when obtaining information that will provide the basis for decisions on electrical earthing systems. The importance of this variety of life saving, critical safety system, demands that determinations on requirements are based upon accurate, meaningful and useful data, which is exactly what Earthing Services provides. Harnessing the wealth of information about the electrical behaviours of soil masses throughout the globe enables Earthing Services to bring that knowledge to contribute to the analysis of each new project. Earthing Services calls upon its database of soil models, along with first hand experience of the geology of an area, including the influences of seasonal variations in climate, to make astute soil profiling decisions about its customers’ projects. Earthing Services engineers undertake soil resistivity surveys for numerous customers on a regular basis, and these services have been conducted all over the world. Feedback from a number of new customers (who have previously subcontracted soil resistivity surveys to other companies), has brought to our attention that Earthing Services’s turnaround time from the commencement of testing to the client’s receipt of processed results is faster than competitors by a considerable margin. The speed with which Earthing Services is capable of obtaining data from site and computing it is largely down to the combination of motivated, trained, and incentivised staff, and state of the art methods of capturing and transmitting data from site to the servers at the Nottingham office. Incoming data is planned and it is normal practice for an engineer to be primed for the information to arrive so that no time is lost in converting the raw statistics into meaningful results. When it comes to effectiveness Earthing Services ticks all of the boxes, from cost efficiencies all the way to providing the processed results within a time efficient duration.
