Lightning protection case study: Golf course - Establishing lightning protection facilities to achieve evacuation within 14 minutes.
The size of the golf course is approximately 23 times that of Tokyo Dome. A case where 83 lightning protection facilities were newly established.
We would like to introduce a case where lightning protection measures were implemented at a golf course, establishing lightning protection facilities that enable evacuation within 14 minutes. Although there have been no lightning incidents at this golf course so far, with the intensification of weather patterns, we believe that the possibility of an incident occurring is not far off. We absolutely want to avoid any injuries or accidents to our customers who come to enjoy their time. We have newly established 83 lightning protection facilities, ensuring that evacuation can be completed within 14 minutes from any hole. The installation work began in the spring of 2024, and we completed the setup by early June, before the increase in thunderstorms. [Case Overview] ■ Challenges - No lightning incidents have occurred, but one could happen eventually. - Evacuation is not possible near lightning rods that attract lightning. ■ Results - Established 83 new lightning protection facilities, allowing evacuation within 14 minutes from any hole. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.
