Local Properties
Typical properties we protect in Andrews County
Service company shops & pipe yards
Andrews sits over the Central Basin Platform, and much of the town's industrial ground is taken up by service-company shops, pipe yards, and truck bays with wide metal roofs.
Lease equipment & tank batteries
Tank batteries, separators, and electrical panels on leases are spread across the ranch land outside town, often far from any other structure.
McKinney Acres & edge-of-town homes
Many homes sit on unzoned acreage lots in McKinney Acres and along the highways out of Andrews, with detached shops and water wells.
Schools, churches & public buildings
School campuses, churches, and county buildings in Andrews serve a wide surrounding area.
Weather & Ground
Weather and ground conditions in Andrews County
Andrews County is almost entirely flat, with deep reddish sand across much of the county and a few low dune fields. The water table can be far down, so the top layers of sand stay dry most of the year, which is the main challenge for grounding here.
Summer storms on this part of the Llano Estacado often build fast in the afternoon. Storms can drop little rain and still bring plenty of lightning, and a metal shop or tank battery is usually the tallest thing in sight.
A lightning protection system protects the structure; it does not replace personal lightning safety.

Andrews County lightning protection FAQ
Do you protect service-company shops and truck bays?
Yes. Wide metal shops need air terminals along the ridges and edges, several down conductors, and bonding of doors, cranes, and framing. We work around your shop schedule.
Can you work around tank batteries?
We follow operator safety rules and can coordinate with your team on protection and bonding for structures near tanks.
Is deep sand a problem for grounding?
Dry sand has high resistance, so we design grounding with more electrode length or ground rings.
Do you serve McKinney Acres and Florey?
Yes, along with the city of Andrews and rural areas across the county.
