Welcome to our
latest Earthing
and Lightning
Protection catalogue
We hope you will find your
catalogue both informative
and easy to use. We have
included much more
information within the tables
and drawings to help you
select the products you require.

There are both new products and a wider selection of


existing ranges included within this new catalogue.

Many existing Wallis products have undergone design


changes which have improved their mechanical
performance and resistance to corrosion.

Wallis Earthing and Lightning Protection materials supplied


from our manufacturing facilities in Nottingham, UK are
used on projects throughout the world.

Hospitals in Kuwait, telecoms towers in Thailand, schools in


Oman, railways in Hong Kong, towers in the UAE, petro
chemical facilities in Malaysia and sub stations in Saudi
Arabia all use Wallis Earthing and Lightning Protection.

We are constantly
working to improve our
literature, so if you have
any suggestions for us
to improve this
catalogue in the future,
we would be pleased to
hear from you.

With extensive experience and technical expertise, we can also
design and advise on lightning protection schemes to suit your
individual requirements. We have designed and supplied
materials for projects including high rise buildings, bridges,
telecoms installations, towers and stadiums.
Such is our reputation for high standards that Wallis equipment
is used around the world, including the Middle East and Far
East, with stocking distributors in key areas.
If youve selected Wallis for structural lightning protection
products, why not make us your choice for surge protection
equipment too. Please ask for details.

Maintenance & life of an earth system


It is important to properly maintain an earth circuit to ensure
it retains its ability to conduct the same current carrying
capacity as it did when it was originally installed. Earth rod
resistances should be regularly checked. Corrosion and fault
currents can cause high resistance joints leading to
overheating. However, if an earth system is correctly installed
and maintained it should last for many years.

Earth Rods - Copperbond Threaded


Deep driven Wallis threaded copperbond earth rods are an economical
method of achieving a low earth resistance.
1/2"12.7
The rods have a low carbon steel core, ideal for deep driving and a
molecularly bonded copper covering of 99.9% pure copper to give
lasting resistance to corrosion.
The threads are formed by a rolling process to ensure strength and
maintain the molecularly bonded copper along the full length of
the threads.

Earthing Compound - Marconite


Marconite forms a permanent solution when mixed with cement and is
used when certain ground conditions make it difficult to obtain a reliable
earth resistance or installations might require a low resistance.
Marconite is used as a backfill to Wallis earth rods and plates.

Marconite Bag 25Kg EMA 25

Mixing Ratio = 3 : 1 (Marconite : Cement).

Earthing Compound - Bentonite


Bentonite can be supplied in powder or granular form and is a moisture
retaining clay which is used to reduce soil resistivity.
Granular
Its easier to handle in granular form, the powder can cause dust in
windy conditions and blow away, granular is the preferred option for
filling trenches where the conductor is covered with Bentonite and then
water poured over and mixed in the trench.
Powder
Powder is the preferred method for pouring into bore holes to ensure
the mixture is a thin enough consistency to reach the bottom of the bore
hole, if diamond drilling is required for deep holes possibly 40mtrs and
deeper and the Bentonite is to be pumped through the core into the
hole powder would be the preferred option.
