Local Properties
Typical properties we protect in Martin County
Cotton gins & farm buildings
Cotton is a major crop, and gins, module yards, and equipment barns stand out on flat farmland.
Irrigation wells & pivots
Irrigation wells and center pivots depend on pumps, motors, and controls that are vulnerable to surges.
Oilfield shops
Martin County is part of the Spraberry trend of the Permian Basin, with metal buildings and yards supporting drilling and production.
Farmhouses
Farmhouses often sit alone with few trees or nearby structures.
Weather & Ground
Weather and ground conditions in Martin County
Martin County is flat, open plains with sandy soils that are very dry much of the year. Dry sand is a poor conductor, so grounding often needs deeper rods, more electrodes, or ground rings.
Spring and summer storms on the Southern High Plains can bring intense lightning with little rain, and buildings on open land are highly exposed.
A lightning protection system protects the structure; it does not replace personal lightning safety.

Martin County lightning protection FAQ
Why is grounding harder in dry West Texas sand?
Dry sand has high resistance, so a single short rod may not be enough. We design grounding with extra electrode length or additional electrodes.
Can surge protection help irrigation equipment?
Yes. Surge protective devices on pump and pivot panels help reduce damage from nearby strikes.
Do you protect cotton gins?
Yes. Gins and related buildings are large, often metal structures that benefit from protection and proper bonding.
Do you travel to Tarzan and Lenorah?
Yes, we serve all of Martin County.
