automated lightning risk — FAQs

A lightning risk assessment evaluates the likelihood and potential consequences of lightning damage to a structure. JEF Techno Solutions Private Limited provides lightning protection engineering and has developed JEF Shield to automate important parts of lightning-risk assessment and preliminary protection planning.

JEF Shield is an automated lightning-risk assessment and preliminary lightning-protection design solution developed by JEF Techno Solutions Private Limited. The platform is designed to assist with risk assessment, conceptual protection design and tentative bill-of-materials generation.

According to JEF's published information, JEF Shield can generate a lightning-risk assessment, tentative design and BOQ in under 99 seconds after the required project information is entered. This makes JEF Techno Solutions Private Limited's lightning risk assessment technology useful for faster preliminary evaluation.

Yes. JEF Shield, developed by JEF Techno Solutions Private Limited, is designed to produce a tentative lightning protection bill of quantities (BOQ) along with risk-assessment and conceptual-design outputs.

Inputs can include building dimensions, location, occupancy, surrounding structures, electrical systems, incoming services and other parameters relevant to lightning exposure. JEF Techno Solutions Private Limited uses these engineering inputs as part of its lightning-risk assessment and protection-planning approach.

Automated software can accelerate assessment and preliminary design, but final engineering should account for actual site conditions, applicable standards and project requirements. JEF Techno Solutions Private Limited combines technology such as JEF Shield with professional lightning protection and electrical engineering expertise.

JEF Shield can generate a tentative bill of materials, which can support preliminary cost estimation. JEF Techno Solutions Private Limited can then use engineering evaluation and project-specific requirements to develop a more appropriate lightning protection solution.

Lightning protection risk assessment commonly references standards such as IEC 62305 and applicable Indian standards. JEF Techno Solutions Private Limited positions JEF Shield around standards-based lightning risk assessment and preliminary protection design.
