- 01Scope
- Routine testing showed the facility's grounding grid performing outside its acceptable range. The job was to bring its ground resistance down.
- 02The challenge
- The soil on site limited what standard electrode spacing could achieve. The grid needed an expanded electrode layout.
- 03Work performed
- We designed an expanded ground electrode and bonding layout and installed it. The new layout ties into the existing grid. We then tested again to confirm its performance.
- 04Result
- Ground resistance is now within the target range. The figures are documented in the facility's electrical records.
