KABO GROUP reviews the available information, prepares an agreed technical scope and completes the work with the defined documentation.

Open section↗External protection intercepts and conducts lightning current; internal protection coordinates bonding, separation and surge protective devices.
Assessment considers use, location, dimensions, construction, occupancy, incoming services and the consequences of damage rather than building height alone.
Roof interfaces, separation and equipment protection are coordinated, while test joints and earthing elements remain accessible for inspection and measurement.
This list explains the regulatory basis but is not a substitute for a project or a complete schedule for every building. Document status, amendments and building-specific requirements are verified when the project starts.
Sets general fire-safety, fire-resistance, evacuation, compartmentation and engineering requirements.
Open source↗Technical standardsThe series covers general principles, risk management, physical protection of structures and people, and internal electrical and electronic systems.
Open source↗Technical standardsApplicable parts specify requirements and tests for connection components, conductors, earth electrodes and related products.
Open source↗Mandatory rulesSets organisational and operational duties, including system readiness and measures during isolation or repair.
Open source↗We collect building geometry, use, location, structural materials, roof equipment and incoming service information.
We define the protection class, air-termination arrangement, down conductors, separation distances, earthing and surge protection concept.
We install the specified components, bonds, test joints and earthing arrangement while coordinating roof and facade interfaces.
We inspect continuity and routing, perform the agreed measurements and provide the specified completion documentation.
Air terminals, down conductors and earth electrodes, plus equipotential bonding, separation and surge protective devices where required by the design.
The solution should be based on building characteristics and risk assessment; the design defines class, geometry, materials and installation details.
Building size and shape, protection class, roof construction, conductor lengths, number of down conductors, earthing and access.
Continuity, connections, routing, earthing condition, required measurements and conformity with the approved design.
The building type, city, approximate area and required system are enough to begin.
