StrikeRisk by Furse is specialist software for assessing lightning risk and defining appropriate protection measures in accordance with the IEC/EN 62305 standard. It guides users through the standard’s risk management process, quantifying the likelihood and consequences of lightning-related damage to people, services, cultural heritage, and assets. By comparing calculated risks with tolerable limits, StrikeRisk helps determine the required Lightning Protection Level (LPL) and the class of Lightning Protection System (LPS) for buildings and connected services.
Designed for consulting engineers, electrical designers, and facility managers, the software streamlines compliance and documentation. Users can input site location and lightning ground flash density, structural characteristics and occupancy, and the routing of incoming services. StrikeRisk then evaluates risk components, recommends external protection measures, and supports surge protective device (SPD) selection and bonding strategies. Scenario comparison features make it easier to balance cost, performance, and regulatory requirements, while comprehensive, editable reports provide a clear audit trail for design reviews and approvals.
