3 Lightning Innovation & Research Institute LiRi INNOVATE & EDUCATION The Lightning Innovation and Research Institute is an integrated department of INDELEC, 100% dedicated to innovation. This forward-looking research team of highly skilled engineers provides INDELEC with undisputed R&D abilities and both internal and external training capabilities on lightning protection management and safety equipment installation. High voltage laboratory The Lightning Innovation and Research Institute LiRi operates a unique equipment: the 1.6 million volts High Voltage Laboratory generates giant electrical arcing of several metres in a highly-secured environment. The lightning conductors triggering times in micro-seconds are recorded and compared to a reference single rod air terminal. The gain measured qualifi es the air terminal performance and its compliance to the French and international standards. Scientific research key player Besides its future technologies engineering and development projects, the Lightning Innovation and Research Institute LiRi is a key player of the international lightning scientific community. The LiRI scientists regularly release innovative articles during major lightning International Conferences, especially on real lightning test campaign fi ndings, another INDELEC Group unique approach since Educational programs To address the complexity of the lightning phenomenon, the LiRI has built several training and certification programs. It ranges from the educational program for general public to highly technical engineering courses for construction experts. The Lightning Innovation and Research Institute LiRi is also involved in French, European and international standard committees, sharing its expertise to keep on improving lightning protection systems safety and performances. 03

INDELEC Group holds leading market positions in France and abroad. Its 200 passionate employees are mobilized to deliver cost effective high quality solutions to its clients, whatever is the projects complexity. 04

CONTINUOUS IN-SERVICE TRAINING Lightning is an extremely complex and potentially harmful phenomenon. Lightning risk management and Safety at Height businesses do not leave any room for improvisation.

This quest for excellence to exceed customer expectations is based on the Lightning Innovation and Research Institute training programs as well as the continuous quality and safety improvement

From 1998 to 2000, in Japan, scientists have recorded lightning discharges of 240,000 amperes on a Prevectron air terminal, ie. power usage of a 30,000 inhabitants city!

5 CONTINUOUS IN-SERVICE TRAINING Lightning is an extremely complex and potentially harmful phenomenon. Lightning risk management and Safety at Height businesses do not leave any room for improvisation. Technicians and engineers are continuously trained to upgrade their capability to customize lightning protection systems to the client s requirements as well as their on-site installation skills. This quest for excellence to exceed customer expectations is based on the Lightning Innovation and Research Institute training programs as well as the continuous quality and safety improvement processes. HISTORICAL EXPERTISE TO GUARANTEE 100% RELIABILITY Lightning solutions developed and manufactured by INDELEC are designed to withstand the worst environmental and climatic conditions. From 1998 to 2000, in Japan, scientists have recorded lightning discharges of 240,000 amperes on a Prevectron air terminal, ie. power usage of a 30,000 inhabitants city! Such challenging conditions require permanent product quality improvement processes: components, design, manufacturing process or on-site installation are under permanent review to guarantee reliable and performing lightning protection solutions.

6 In-novation INNOVATE, DEVELOP AND TEST THE SAFEST AND MOST RELIABLE LIGHTNING SOLUTIONS. INNOVATION IS INSTRUMENTAL INDELEC DEVELOPMENT Innovation is part of INDELEC DNA: specialized since 1955 in manufacturing and installing lightning protection systems, the company introduced in the early 80 s a revolutionary technology: the Early Streamer Emission Prevectron air terminals. It became the main lightning protection technology alongside the common Meshed Cages design. INDELEC fi les several patent applications every year and it is now pioneering the integration of new communication technologies into lightning protection systems. UNIQUE IN SITU LIGHTNING TEST CAMPAIGNS In-novation Thanks to this ongoing research process, INDELEC has developed the most reliable and safest range of lightning air terminals. Besides its unique High Voltage Laboratory, INDELEC has been heavily investing into real lightning test campaigns since Following campaigns in Florida, Japan, or Brazil, the Lightning Innovation and Research Institute LiRi team have set up a new test site in Indonesia, a major lighting prone area in the world. Each and every INDELEC product development benefi ts from these research equipment and in situ validation, for optimum performance. 06
