Earthing System Design and Testing for Australia’s Toughest Environments

At Gridserve, we specialise in delivering industry-grade earthing systems tailored for Australia's most demanding applications — from complex urban developments to the harshest remote mining operations. Our engineered solutions ensure electrical safety, regulatory compliance, and long-term system reliability for critical infrastructure projects.

Our Earthing Solutions

Design & Engineering

We develop custom earthing systems in compliance with AS/NZS 3000, AS/NZS 3017, and IEC standards. Our engineering team conducts in-depth assessments of soil conditions, fault current capacity, and environmental factors to craft site-specific, high-performance grounding strategies.

Installation Services

Expert installation of all earthing components, including:

Earth rods and copper plates
Earth mats, ring earths, and grounding grids
GI and copper strip bonding
Ground enhancement compounds for high-resistance soils

Testing & Commissioning

Precision testing ensures your earthing system performs as intended:

Earth resistance and soil resistivity testing
Step and touch voltage analysis
Fault loop impedance and continuity testing
Detailed commissioning reports and compliance certification

Maintenance & Upgrades

Ongoing system support to preserve performance and compliance:

Earth pit inspection and reconditioning
Corrosion checks and hardware replacement
Scheduled testing and performance documentation
System upgrades and lifecycle planning

Lightning Protection Integration

Design and installation of IEC 62305-compliant lightning protection systems, seamlessly integrated with your earthing network to safeguard personnel and equipment from transient overvoltages.
