SpaRISK Software – A Specialized Tool for Lightning Risk Assessment Based on IEC 62305 Standard

SpaRISK is a specialized software tool for lightning risk assessment (Risk Assessment) based on the international standard IEC 62305. Developed by Sparta Lightning Protection, this software assists engineers and designers in evaluating lightning hazards for various buildings and facilities, determining the need for lightning protection systems.

SpaRISK allows users to analyze complex structures with multiple zones and various entry points. It enables area-based risk evaluation while accounting for different lightning entry paths.

Key Features of SpaRISK

• Lightning Risk Assessment Based on IEC 62305 for a variety of structures

• Multi-zone Structural Analysis allowing evaluation of different areas within a building or facility

• Analysis of Multiple Lightning Entry Paths, including power lines, data cables, and other entry routes

• Calculation of Different Risk Components, such as risk to human life, equipment, and structural integrity

• Generation of Analytical Reports in Word, Excel, and PDF formats—ideal for documentation and submission to regulatory bodies

• Customization of Environmental Parameters like lightning density and ground characteristics for more accurate assessments

Applications

• Determining the Need for Lightning Protection Systems in residential, commercial, and industrial buildings

• Risk Analysis for Critical Facilities, including hospitals, data centers, and power plants

• Evaluating Lightning Impact on Power Transmission and Distribution Lines, and determining appropriate protection strategies

• Preparing Risk Reports required for construction and operation permits
