In the vibrant coastal city of Vero Beach, Florida, located right on the oceanfront, stands Southwinds Condominiums. One of Southwind’s buildings was burnt down due to a lightning strike and they spent millions of dollars to rebuild the structure. This experience opened their eyes to the importance of safeguarding residents and infrastructure against the dangers of lightning strikes. 


We had the honor of helping Southwinds reach their lightning protection goals with the CMCE Lightning Suppressor system. We presented three protection design options -- “good,” “better,” and “best,” -- and they chose the “best” option to provide total protection for their entire property. 


To eliminate lightning strikes in the future, Southwinds installed three CMCE-120 Lightning Suppressors throughout the vast, 2,000,000-square-foot property, to protect the structural integrity, outdoor pool area, and the well-being of residents.

 

As thunderstorm season approaches, residents of Southwinds Condos can rest assured knowing that the property is fortified against lightning strikes, ensuring peace of mind and unparalleled comfort for years to come.
