⚡ PROTECTING CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE—AND THE COMMUNITIES AROUND IT
This video is a powerful reminder that oil and gas facilities and AI data centers are increasingly being built near the places where we live, work, and raise our families.
That proximity gives operators another compelling reason to make critical infrastructure “Lightning Proof”™.
For generations, industries have relied on traditional lightning-protection concepts dating back to Benjamin Franklin’s lightning rod in the mid-1700s. Isn’t it time to re-evaluate whether capturing and conducting a direct lightning strike remains the best available approach?
Patented DDCE technology represents the evolution from conventional lightning protection to direct lightning PREVENTION.
The DDCE 100 Plus UL model is certified as a Class I air terminal under ANSI/CAN/UL 96. The technology is designed for integration with lightning-protection systems aligned with NFPA 780 and IEC 62305 requirements.
The potential benefits extend far beyond protecting equipment:
⚡ Reduce the risk of catastrophic fires and environmental releases
⚡ Protect employees, families, and neighboring communities
⚡ Reduce costly nonproductive time and operational interruptions
⚡ Strengthen the resilience of AI, energy, communications, and other critical infrastructure
⚡ Help operators become better stewards of the environment
Our growing reliance on AI and interconnected digital systems makes infrastructure resilience more important than ever.
Direct lightning and lightning-generated electromagnetic pulses can threaten power systems, communications, control systems, cooling infrastructure, and sensitive electronics. Severe space-weather events can create broader risks for electrical grids, satellites, communications, and GPS timing.
The 1859 Carrington Event occurred 44 years before the Wright brothers achieved powered flight. Imagine a comparable event affecting today’s cloud-computing systems, AI data centers, cellular networks, digitally controlled energy infrastructure, satellites, emergency services, and electronic financial systems.
Our world has changed dramatically. Shouldn’t our approach to protecting it evolve as well?
DDCE technology addresses the direct-lightning threat as part of a broader, layered infrastructure-resilience strategy.
The safest and most environmentally responsible direct lightning strike is the one that never occurs within the protected area.
