In the United States alone, lightning strikes 25 million times each year which exposes Industrial and business with destruction of installations and assets in addition to operations downtime.. A 2015 IDC survey estimates that the total costs from lightning-related damage to US industry and property is estimated to be between $8 billion and $10 billion per year and the average hourly cost of infrastructure failure at $100,000, with critical system outages potentially costing $500,000 per hour. Having a proper lighting protection system installed and tested regularly greatly reduces the chances of an lightning strike causing damage to your assets and disrupting operations.
