DEHN Engineering Services
Safe yourself time, money and resources.
Whether you need external lightning protection, surge protection, earthing or safety equipment, our DEHN Engineering Services can support you with on-site services and measurements, risk assessments, planning, simulations and monitoring.
Make planning lightning and
surge protection easy
You save time
… because DEHN does the planning work.
You reduce costs
... thanks to an exact calculation, you only use the quantity of materials that are actually needed.
You conserve resources
... because your people save themselves the effort of familiarising themselves with the complex subject of lightning and surge protection.
The easy way to a finished lightning protection concept
What's really practical for me is that I can delegate all the planning to someone else. Lightning and surge protection is a pretty complicated subject. Planning like this really takes a lot of time and training. Whether I do it myself or my team does it, that time is used up.
The possibility of getting everything completely from DEHN is ideal for me. I save time and my people can work on other projects.
I was also surprised that so much can be saved by calculating the material more accurately.
So you've opted for
DEHN Engineering Services?
The next step. Your project is planned in six steps:
Step 1 – Questionnaire
The key data for your project is recorded here. This allows the DEHN Engineering Services team to prepare properly for the interview.
Step 2 – Preliminary discussion
During this discussion, we will jointly determine the scope of services you require.
Step 3 – Quote
Based on this preliminary discussion, you will receive a quote for the services in question. You then grant us a planning contract.
Step 4 – Concretisation
In a follow-up discussion, together we discuss how the planning service will look in detail for your project.
- What special considerations are there from a construction perspective?
- What are the correct usage guidelines?
- Are there safety-related instructions?
If this discussion takes place at your location, we will take a close look at the building and installations.
Step 5 – Planning
In this phase, we will create the optimum protection solution for your specific safety requirements. You can download a sample plan for your lightning protection concept here.
Step 6 – Concept
You will then receive the finished protection concept,
Completely with
as-built drawings
detailed drawings
textual descriptions with picture and execution documentation
bills of materials.
We are looking forward to explain the protection concept at your location and advising you on its implementation.

Lightning Risk Assessment
A risk analysis determines the statistical probability of a property being damaged by a lightning strike.
Lightning Protection Design
A lightning protection concept shows the arrangement of the lightning protection components that form the external lightning protection system for a project (incl. parts lists and drawings).
Surge Protection Specification
A surge protection concept shows the placement of surge protection devices that form the internal lightning protection system for a project (incl. parts list and drawing).
Soil Resistivity Analysis and Report
Physical measurement data is processed and a representative soil model is created according to theoretical curves using advanced software.
Further services are included in our portfolio.

Reference projects
For more than 10 years, we have been planning lightning and surge protection systems for various projects and industries. Here are some examples.
Would you like to know more? We look forward to your call.
Greece: Free field PV system
Free field PV systems are cost-intensive systems. Permanent availability must be ensured to achieve a good return on investment. An efficient lightning protection system prevents failure resulting from lightning strikes. Therefore, an isolated external lightning protection system is also often used in this case.
We planned an isolated lightning protection system with air-termination rods and insulated spacers for this free field system in Greece.
Germany: Geyen, pumping station
It is also advisable to install an isolated lightning protection system for the individual parts of facilities and systems with pipelines which are located in the open countryside.
In the pumping station in Geyen (Germany), HVI power Conductors were installed to lead lighting current out of potentially explosive areas. This measure has made the system considerably safer.
Germany: Darmstadt, computer centre
Availability has top priority in computer centres. An isolated external lightning protection system considerably reduces the risk of damage to equipment since no lightning currents enter the installation.
The lightning protection system of the computer centre in Darmstadt (Germany) consists of a meshed system with HVI Conductors.
Germany: Werne, compressor station
A non-sparking lightning protection concept is vital in industrial plants with potentially explosive atmospheres. This is achieved by an isolated external lightning protection system.
We planned such an isolated lightning protection system for Open Grid Europe’s compressor station in Werne (Germany).
