Technical Documentation & Autocad Support

At LPES International, we believe clarity is the foundation of safety. That’s why we offer comprehensive AutoCAD enabled technical documentation designed to give clients a complete, transparent understanding of how their lightning protection, earthing, and surge safety systems will be implemented long before execution begins.

Our process is structured with precision and guided by global standards. We start by preparing a detailed BOQ (Bill of Quantity) that outlines every required component with accuracy, ensuring project clarity, cost control, and compliance. Following this, our engineering team develops structure specific layout drawings using AutoCAD, visually mapping the entire protection strategy to reflect site dimensions, risk exposure, and architectural constraints.

To complete the process, we conduct a final risk assessment that evaluates real world vulnerabilities and verifies that the proposed system meets all safety parameters and performance expectations. This step ensures that every design is optimized, compliant, and ready for flawless execution

With LPES, technical documentation isn’t just paperwork it’s a commitment to precision, transparency, and engineering integrity. It empowers clients to make informed decisions and ensures that every project moves forward with clarity,confidence, and  uncom promised safety Together, these documents form a single,integrated engineering roadmap giving clients:Full visibility into system design and material requirements
Clear installation guidance for EPC teams and contractors Assurance of compliance with IEC, IS, and industry specific
standards Confidence in the safety plan before any on site activity begins.

What you receive

One package. Every drawing and document an approval needs.

Pick a deliverable to see what it shows, the standard it is drawn to and what your reviewer will check.

Lightning risk assessment

IEC 62305-2NASA LIS/OTD flash density

Before anything is drawn, we calculate whether the structure needs protection and at what level. Risks R1 (loss of life) and, where relevant, R2–R4 are compared with the tolerable risk, using local ground flash density, collection area, occupancy and the services entering the building.

  • Collection area Ad from true length, width and height
  • Risk components RA, RB, RC, RM and more, shown line by line
  • Lightning Protection Level (LPL I–IV) and SPD requirement justified
  • Report your consultant can audit, not a single number

Lightning protection layout

IEC 62305-3IS/IEC 62561NBC 2016

Roof plans and elevations showing the air-termination system, sized by rolling sphere, mesh and protection-angle methods. Down-conductor routes, test joints and the connection to earth are drawn to the dimensions of your structure.

  • Air terminals, mesh conductors and fixings at the specified spacing
  • Down conductors at the spacing your LPL requires
  • Separation distance s checked at every metal crossing
  • Natural components (rebar, metal roofs) used where they qualify

Earthing layout

IS 3043IEEE 80CEA Reg. 41–43

Electrode positions, ring or foundation earth electrode, inspection pits and conductor sizes, designed from soil resistivity and fault current. Every pit is numbered so the installer, inspector and maintenance team use one reference.

  • Type A rods or Type B ring, chosen for the soil and structure
  • PE and bonding conductors sized for fault current
  • Target earth resistance stated with the calculation behind it
  • Pit schedule ready for the Protection Passport register

Equipotential bonding & SPD / LPZ

IEC 62305-4IEC 61643-11IS 732

Lightning protection zones drawn on your single-line diagram. Each zone boundary gets the right SPD type, and every incoming service — power, data, metal pipes — is bonded at the point of entry.

  • LPZ 0 / 1 / 2 boundaries with SPD Type 1, 2 and 3 coordinated
  • Main earthing terminal and bonding bar details
  • Data, signal and PV lines covered, not just power
  • Let-through voltage checked against equipment withstand

BOQ with LPES part codes

Tender-readyDatasheets linked

Quantities taken from the drawings, not estimated. Each line names the material, size and finish and carries an LPES part code with its datasheet, so a tender can be priced and compared without guesswork.

  • Item, description, size, unit, quantity and part code
  • Exclusions and deviations listed openly
  • Excel for pricing, PDF for the record
  • Supply-only or supply-and-install versions

Approval dossier

Consultant reviewAuthority submission

Everything a reviewer asks for, in one bound set: design basis, calculations, typical installation details, product datasheets and test certificates, and a compliance matrix clause by clause.

  • Design basis and assumptions stated
  • Typical details: test joint, pit, roof fixing, bonding
  • Compliance matrix against the specification
  • Revision control until the drawings are approved

One choice drives the whole layout

The Lightning Protection Level from your risk assessment sets the rolling-sphere radius, the mesh size and how far apart the down conductors may be. Change it and see what moves.

Values from IEC 62305-3 Tables 2, 4 and 10. Your design uses your structure's real geometry; this is an illustration, not a design.

How it works

From your drawings to an approved design in seven steps

You send what you have

Architectural plans and elevations (DWG preferred), roof details, the single-line diagram and site location. If soil resistivity is not available we measure it by the Wenner four-pin method.

We quantify the risk

An IEC 62305-2 assessment using the local ground flash density sets the Lightning Protection Level and tells you whether surge protection is required — so the design is neither under- nor over-specified.

We draw the lightning protection system

Air-termination by rolling sphere, mesh and protection angle; down conductors at the spacing your LPL requires; separation distance checked wherever metal services come close.

We design the earthing

Electrode type, quantity and layout from soil data and fault current to IS 3043 and IEEE 80, with step and touch voltage checked where people walk.

We coordinate bonding and SPDs

Lightning protection zones on your SLD, SPD types at each boundary, and every incoming service bonded at entry to IEC 62305-4.

We take off the BOQ and assemble the dossier

Quantities measured from the drawings, part-coded and linked to datasheets, with calculations, typical details and a compliance matrix.

We stay until it is approved

Consultant comments are answered and drawings revised under revision control. The approved set becomes the basis for supply, installation and the LPES Protection Passport.

Inputs we need

Start with what you have

Incomplete inputs are normal at tender stage. We state every assumption on the drawing so nothing is hidden.

Limitations. Designs are based on the information supplied. Where site conditions, soil data or structural details are unknown, we state the assumption and recommend verification before construction. ESE-based designs to NF C 17-102 are prepared only where your specification calls for them.

  1. Architectural drawings — plans, elevations and sections, DWG or PDF
  2. Roof details — material, parapets, rooftop plant, solar PV
  3. Electrical single-line diagram — incomers, DBs, critical loads
  4. Soil resistivity — or we measure it on site
  5. Site location — for ground flash density and the risk assessment
  6. Your specification — tender spec, consultant notes, preferred standards

Questions

Before you send drawings

Still unsure what you need? See all FAQs or talk to us.

Do you design to IEC 62305 or to NF C 17-102 (ESE)?

Our default is IEC 62305 with IS/IEC 62561 components, which is what IS and NBC reference in India. Where your specification calls for an ESE air terminal, we design to NF C 17-102 and say so on every sheet.

Can you work from PDF drawings only?

Yes. DWG lets us draw directly on your geometry and return editable files; with PDF we redraw the relevant plans first and note it in the design basis.

Is the BOQ tied to LPES products?

Every line carries an LPES part code so it can be priced immediately. The description states material, size and standard, so an approved equivalent can be compared line for line.

Do you include the lightning risk assessment?

Yes. The IEC 62305-2 assessment is the first deliverable, because it sets the protection level and the surge-protection requirement that the rest of the design follows.

Can LPES install what it designs?

Yes. The approved drawings carry straight into installation and commissioning, testing and the LPES Protection Passport, so one team stays accountable from design to handover.
