Lightning & Earthing Protection for Met Masts
Every ART met mast comes equipped with a standard earthing system — grounding the mast structure and guy wires, plus a basic lightning finial for general protection.
For sites in lightning-prone areas, or where critical instrumentation requires enhanced protection, ART provides a comprehensive range of advanced lightning and earthing solutions.
Upgraded lightning finials
Protect riser-mounted instruments above top guy wires, shielding up to 99% of possible strikes.
Custom site-specific solutions
Lightning Protection System (LPS) assessments and tailored designs compliant with AS/NZS 1768:2021.
High-level earthing & mitigation packages
Including surge protection, equipotential bonding, system commissioning, site testing, and reporting.
Proven and compliant
All solutions fully tested and compliant with IEC 61400 and AS/NZS standards, reducing downtime and extending mast life.
Why choose us?
Australian-made for superior quality and reliability.
IEC-compliant for trusted, industry-standard performance.
Expert installation teams with experience in remote and complex sites.
Durable, weather-resistant solutions built to last.
Met Mast Aviation solutions
ART provides comprehensive aviation solutions to enhance the visibility andsafety of met masts. These solutions can be incorporated into new builds orretrofitted to existing masts. All systems are designed to meet industry best practices and are tailored to site-specific requirements, including regulatory, council, and operational needs.
To further enhance mast visibility and ensure compliance, ART provides a variety of visual markers:
Marker balls
Standard installations include 300 mm marker balls on each outer guy wire.
Larger 600 mm balls or additional balls can be installed based on aviation impact assessments.
Rotamarka flags
Typically, two or more flags can be installed along the outer guy wires.
Aviation painting
Mast sections can be powder-coated in alternating red and white for high visibility, applied at our in-house spray painting facility.
Anchor pavers, fencing, and bollards can also be painted red and/or white to mark the site from the ground.
Guy wire sleeves
White PVC sleeves can be installed around guy wires for additional visibility.
This also enhances the visibility of the lowest guy wires for vehicle movements.
Met mast decommissioning options
When a met mast reaches the end of its design life, ART offer two main decommissioning methods, tailord to site conditions and project priorities. The decision between reverse installation and cut and drop depends on factors such as safety requirements, site environment
(for example, operating wind farms or densely forested areas), and whether cost, time, or sustainability is the key driver. ART works closely with clients to assess conditions and deliver the safest and most suitable outcome.
Reverse installation (Derrick Pole Method)
The met mast is carefully dismantled section by section using a derrick pole system. This controlled approach is more labour-intensive and therefore more costly, but allows for components and materials to be salvaged, refurbished and reused where suitable, such as mast sections and instruments (allowing post-calibration).
Cut and drop
In this faster and more cost-effective option, where guy wires are released in a controlled sequence, and the mast is felled to the ground. This method requires a larger exclusion zone and generally results in the scrapping of the met mast and all components. No climbing is required, making this option suitable for degraded masts.
