Early warning makes a real difference

When lightning activity occurs close to people, facilities or infrastructure, rapid warning is essential. Hans Buch supplies lightning detectors from Biral that detect lightning activity early, enabling operators to respond before weather conditions become critical.

The solutions are used at airports, ports, offshore installations, sports facilities, industrial sites and other areas where safety and uptime depend on precise weather observations.

Detects both cloud-to-ground and cloud-to-cloud lightning

The Biral BTD series detects cloud-to-ground lightning, cloud-to-cloud lightning and intra-cloud activity. This provides a more complete picture of thunderstorm development than traditional systems, which only detect direct lightning strikes.

The advanced technology provides high detection accuracy and a very low risk of false alarms. The result is more reliable lightning detection and a better basis for decision-making when assessing safety.

Lightning detectors for both smaller areas and large facilities

Hans Buch offers several models in the Biral BTD series that can be tailored to different needs.

The BTD-200 is suitable for smaller areas such as sports facilities, parks, schools and public spaces, while the BTD-300 and BTD-350 are designed for larger infrastructure facilities, airports, offshore installations and industrial environments.

Depending on the model, the systems can detect lightning activity within a radius of up to 83 km.

Lightning detection for airports, offshore installations, industry and events

Professional lightning detection is now used across a wide range of sectors where safety and operational continuity are essential.

The solutions are used at:

  • Airports
  • Offshore installations
  • Ports
  • Wind farms
  • Industrial sites
  • Sports and event venues
  • Utility facilities
  • Meteorological installations

The robust construction makes the systems suitable for both fixed installations and demanding marine environments.

Integration with software and alarm systems

The lightning detectors can be integrated with existing monitoring and control systems. Depending on the solution, alerts can be sent directly to relevant staff via software, alarm systems or messaging systems.

This makes it possible to implement safety procedures quickly and reduce the risk of personal injury, downtime and property damage.
