Cat Van Loi groundbreaking lightning protection system meets UL Listed UL 467 standard

In electromechanical design and construction (MEP), the anti-lightning - grounding system plays a core role in protecting works and equipment from overpressure, short circuit or lightning strike incidents. Meeting international standards UL 467 and IEC 62561 for grounding and bonding equipment is currently a mandatory requirement at many key projects to ensure safe and sustainable operation.

The importance of synchronization in lightning protection systems

A safe contact lightning protection system does not only depend on discrete contact posts but also requires the synchronization of all connecting accessories.

Cat Van Loi has researched and perfected the ecosystem of grounding equipment that meets UL 467 & IEC 62561 standards, including:

* Landing & Conducting Piles: Copper-plated steel piles (copper-plated layer with a minimum thickness of 254 microns) and pure copper piles ensure mechanical durability, corrosion resistance and optimal lightning flow transmission.

* Thermal welding termites and welding medicine: Applying thermal fusion reaction at high temperatures to create homogeneous metal molecular bonds. Thermal welding termites achieve electrical conductivity, are not corroded or increase resistance over time.

* Accessories and Reductive Chemicals: Cable holders, test clips, ground control boxes (PP/concrete plastic) combined with reductive chemicals help maintain the resistance of the soil at a safe level, even in arid or gravelly geological areas.

* Lightning receiver and Faraday cage: Direct lightning receiver combined with the Faraday protection grid system surrounding the project, helping to redirect the entire electric current down to the ground, absolutely protecting sensitive electronic devices inside.

The application of synchronous solutions that meet UL 467 and IEC 62561 helps MEP engineers thoroughly solve the problem of soil resistance variability, minimizing electromagnetic interference (EMI) risks for data centers, high-tech factories and high-rise buildings.

International standard localization solutions for the construction market

In Vietnam, Cat Van Loi is a pioneer in successfully producing a grounding - lightning protection system that meets UL 467 and IEC 62561 standards. With a localization rate of 90%, the enterprise helps EPC contractors proactively supply, shorten delivery times and optimize costs compared to imported goods. The product provides complete certificates (origin, factory), meeting the inspection standards of international supervision consultants.

To date, Cat Van Loi grounding system has been present at many large projects such as Yen Hung LPG Storage, Viettel IDC Hoa Lac, Cat Bi Airport, The Grand Manhattan, Vinhomes Co Loa... and industrial parks in the ASEAN region. Mr. Le Mai Huu Lam - General Director of Cat Van Loi - shared: "We bring US safety standards to Vietnamese values with the desire that each Vietnamese project will last over time.
