Gates of Olympus

Assess a building's lightning risk and find the least-effort protection plan 🗺️. Gates of Olympus helps you judge how much a lightning strike could cost a building, and what would reduce that cost. Describe a structure: its size and height, where it stands, how many people use each zone, and which power, telephone or data lines enter it. The app 📱 turns that into a lightning risk report 🧾. It shows loss of life and cultural heritage risk against the tolerable limit, so you see 👀 at once whether protection is needed. A breakdown shows which damage types and which sources drive the risk. When protection is needed, Gates of Olympus weighs thousands of combinations of measures and lists the options by effort. Each plan 🗺️ shows what it changes and how far the risk falls, before and after. You choose which measures the plan may use, such as a lightning protection system, surge protection, touch and step protection, or fire provisions. The roof profile tool 🛠️ checks the roof itself. Draw the building as blocks in a long section, pick a protection class and roll the sphere. You see 👀 which spans of roof are exposed, the deepest sag, and where to place air-terminal rods. The app 📱 proposes rods and shows when the roof is fully protected. Features: - Structures with zones, incoming lines and existing protection - Risk report 🧾 with loss of life and cultural heritage results - Ranked protection plans with before and after comparison - Roof profiles with the rolling sphere method and rod proposals - A worked example, the Hilltop Chapel, to explore first Use Gates of Olympus to plan 🗺️ protection for a home, a works, a venue or a hazard store, and to see 👀 the effect of each measure 📐 before you commit to it.
