ALPS Advanced Lightning Protection System

MODEL D | STRIKE AVOIDANCE

Model D is a precision-engineered air terminal that enables strike avoidance by suppressing upward counter-leaders within its protected zone. This greatly reduces the likelihood of direct lightning strikes and helps mitigate the effects of lightning-induced electromagnetic pulses (EMPs).

Designed for critical infrastructure, Model D delivers enhanced safety and reliable performance.

CUSTOM ARRAY | STRIKE AVOIDANCE

The Custom Array is a uniquely engineered lightning protection system developed for projects that require both advanced performance and seamless architectural integration. It is designed from the ground up to meet specific structural conditions and aesthetic requirements, offering strike avoidance capabilities without compromising form or function.

While our Model D is optimized for high-efficiency protection in standardized applications, the Custom Array expands that capability into environments where flexibility, layout constraints, or architectural preservation are key. It is ideal for complex rooftops, iconic architecture, heritage sites, or industrial facilities with distributed grounding or clearance limitations.

Each Custom Array is configured in close collaboration with project teams to ensure precision coverage, visual harmony, and total alignment with building design intent. It is protection — purpose-built for the most demanding and design-sensitive installations.

MODEL T | CONTROLLED TERMINATION

A multi-pointed, omni-directional air terminal designed to attract and intercept lightning leaders from multiple angles. Built to function independently or alongside Model D, it ensures safe current dissipation through robust grounding.

With the capacity to handle multiple strikes, it’s ideal for complex rooftops and high-exposure zones requiring added directional coverage.

MODEL R | CONTROLLED TERMINATION

Model R is a modern enhancement of the conventional lightning rod, engineered with advanced positive bonding for improved performance. Its proprietary coupler strengthens the connection between rod and tape, ensuring reliable current transfer.

Seamlessly integrating into existing structures, Model R offers an effective upgrade without altering architectural design.

STRIKE AVOIDANCE | How It Works

AGE | Advanced Grounding Electrode

An ultra-efficient, low-impedance grounding solution, the Advanced Grounding Electrode is designed for superior lightning energy dissipation. Its enhanced surface-to-earth contact maximizes energy transfer, reducing resistance and improving overall system performance. Suitable for residential, commercial, and industrial use, it delivers long-lasting reliability with minimal maintenance.

SPD | Surge Protection Devices

Surge Protection Devices (SPDs) are engineered to deliver reliable, high-energy protection for sensitive electrical systems. With a compact, robust design, they guard against voltage surges and spikes — helping to extend equipment lifespan and ensure uninterrupted performance. Designed for low-voltage power applications, SPDs are ideal for residential, commercial, and industrial environments.

DBC | Dynamic Bypass Conductor

Designed for use in External Floating Roof Tanks (EFRTs), the Dynamic Bonding Cable secures consistent and reliable electrical bonding between the floating roof and tank shell. This robust connection helps prevent the buildup of bound charge and minimizes the risk of ignition from direct lightning strikes — a critical safeguard for the oil, gas, and chemical industries.


REDEFINING LIGHTNING PROTECTION WITH IOT INTELLIGENCE

Traditional lightning protection ends at installation. Ours doesn’t.
CFG’s smart technologies — including the SGMD, SSPD, and BOLT — represent the industry’s latest innovation in IoT-enabled lightning protection. These systems don’t just protect — they monitor, verify, and empower real-time decision-making, closing the gap between static compliance and dynamic protection.

SGMD | Smart Ground Monitoring System

The SGMD is an IoT-enabled solution that delivers quick, on-demand ground resistance readings — eliminating the need for manual, time-consuming 3-point testing. It allows teams to verify grounding integrity without shutdowns or disruption.

Fast, non-intrusive ground resistance checks

No system shutdown required

Supports preventive maintenance and compliance

When paired with our Safe Entry capability, the system can be used to assess whether grounding conditions are within safe thresholds before personnel enter hazardous zones — adding an important layer of protection for environments such as substations and external floating roof tanks.

SSPD | Smart Surge Protection Device

Combining traditional surge protection with smart monitoring capabilities, SSPD delivers real-time visibility into the health and status of your surge protection system. It moves beyond passive protection, enabling predictive maintenance and smarter asset management.

üReal-time Health Monitoring: Continuously tracks SPD status and notifies when replacement is needed

üDigital Integration:  Communicates with control systems or dashboards for centralized oversight

üHigh-Performance Protection: Shields sensitive equipment from transients and surges

üCompact, Retrofit-Friendly Design: Ideal for both new builds and upgrades

Traditional SPDs offer no visibility into their remaining lifespan or failure status. The SSPD ensures you’re always protected — helping prevent costly downtime, equipment damage, and undetected surge vulnerability.

BOLT | Lightning Activity Monitoring System

An advanced lightning detection and analytics system designed to monitor lightning activity with high precision. Unlike conventional systems that offer limited data points and delayed reporting, BOLT captures hundreds of data points per event in near real time — providing a much clearer picture of each lightning flash.

Built on a proprietary detection algorithm and cloud infrastructure, BOLT supports better decision-making for operational safety, asset protection, and event forensics.

üHigh-resolution lightning flash visualization: Captures full lightning events — not just single-point strikes — enabling deeper understanding of strike behaviour.

üReal-time monitoring and alerting: Delivers timely data to operators, improving response and safety protocols.

Why It Matters:

• Helps protect large, high-risk areas such as refineries, airports, and coastal facilities.

• Supports proactive shutdown or evacuation decisions during lightning threats.

• Enables post-event analysis to evaluate the effectiveness of installed protection systems.

• Lays the foundation for data-driven lightning risk management at regional and global scales.
