Why do I need an Earthing Study?

Saving lives in earthing design

GreyMatters exists to protect critical assets and life, from the harmful effects of High Voltage and Lightning globally.

If we save just one life as a result of what we do…we will have succeeded.

What is an Earthing Study?

An earthing study is a type of engineering analysis that is used to determine the design and safety of the grounding system for a particular facility. There are several reasons why an earthing study may be necessary:

Understanding the risks of EMF

Understanding the risks of EMF

Impressed voltages and interference from electromagnetic fields are increasingly becoming a hot topic for safety professionals and engineers alike. Hugh looks at understanding the risks of EMFs, when you need to do an EMF study and how XGSLab does the heavy lifting for you when doing EMF studies. Watch a replay of the webinar here.

Ian: Hello, and welcome.

Thank you all for coming here today. For those of you who don’t know me, my name is Ian Griffiths from GreyMatters, I am the principal consultant here. And I’d like to start things off with a quote or something that kind of resonated through the past week. One that came to mind was this, it was beautifully done. “Nearly everything awesome, takes longer than you think, get started now and don’t worry about the clock.” Think that’s a massive mantra to live by.

Earthing in Difficult Geologies

Earthing in difficult geologies

Ian takes us on a recap of earthing in difficult geologies, you can find the webinar replay here.

Ian: Hello and welcome.

How many times have we faced with the install team, or you are doing tests on site. You come back, and the readings are high, far higher than expected, and you are scratching your head wondering what is going on.

My name is Ian Griffiths, I am the Principal Consultant here at GreyMatters. In today’s webinar, we will take a step back, and we are going to revisit a webinar that was a piece done by Hugh a couple of years ago now, but it has come up is very topical. It is something that we get asked a lot of questions on. So that is the plan for today, let us dive in.

Why is a hot site a problem?

Why is a hot site a problem

Hugh takes us on a deeper dive into hot sites and answers the question ‘Why is a hot site a problem?’ You can find the webinar replay here.

Hugh: Hello, everyone, thanks for joining our webinar this morning. This is a continuation from our previous session where Ian introduced the concept of a hot site and talked about how it came about. You can find a replay of the first webinar ‘Why am I getting a hot site?’ here.

And what we are going to do in today’s session is we are going to develop on from that and talk about what the problems associated with hot sites are. Talk a bit about some of the things you can do to fix hot sites when they come about as a problem.
