French Guiana combines equatorial storm activity with French and EU building regulations. Its lightning density is among the highest of any French territory, and preventive DDCE heads paired with internal surge protection both shield the structure and meet the arrester requirements for the installation inside.

A French territory with tropical exposure

Equatorial storms meet French building law: here, protection is often a compliance requirement, not an option.

Among France's highest density

Equatorial storm activity gives Guyane one of the highest lightning-flash densities of any French territory.

Protection is mandatory

Under NF C 15-100, surge arresters are compulsory in high-density (AQ2) zones, which include Guyane.

Downtime-sensitive sites

Spaceport logistics, telecom and interior operations where a strike disables power and comms for days.

Who we protect in French Guiana

A passive paratonnerre alternative: the DDCE prevents the strike rather than conducting it, over a 100 m radius.

Kourou

Support infrastructure, logistics and contractors around Europe's spaceport economy.

Cayenne

Commercial buildings, hotels, public institutions and telecom sites in the capital.

Saint-Laurent-du-Maroni

The growing west, directly reachable from our base across the Maroni river.

Mining & interior

Remote sites where a strike can disable communications and power for days.

NF C 15-100 compliance

Preventive heads plus internal surge arresters to meet the AQ2 zone requirements.
