Olympus Harbour Island Apartments Trusts CMCE Lightning Suppression
Olympus Harbour Island Apartments trusts CMCE Lightning Suppression to protect its property and residents.

How Olympus Harbour Island Is Taking a Proactive Approach to Lightning Protection in Tampa
Located in Tampa, Florida, one of the most lightning-prone regions in the U.S., this luxury multifamily community chose a proactive approach to lightning protection by installing two CMCE-120 Lightning Suppressors.
Rather than managing the high voltages from a lightning strike, CMCE technology is designed to neutralize the atmospheric electrical conditions that contribute to lightning formation, adding a superior layer of resilience for the apartment building and surrounding property.
The Challenge
Florida consistently experiences more lightning activity than nearly any other state, making direct lightning strikes a significant threat to residential communities. For a luxury property like Olympus Harbour Island, a strike can mean damage to building systems, unexpected maintenance costs, operational disruptions, and potential impacts on resident safety and comfort.
Traditional lightning rods are built to intercept and conduct lightning safely to ground after a strike occurs. Olympus wanted something more proactive: a solution that could help reduce the likelihood of lightning attachment to the property in the first place, rather than simply managing a strike after it happens.
The Solution
To strengthen the property's lightning protection strategy, Olympus Harbour Island installed two CMCE-120 Lightning Suppressors, covering the apartment building and surrounding property, approximately 1,000,000 square feet total.
Unlike conventional lightning protection systems, the CMCE Lightning Suppressor continuously dissipates atmospheric electrical charge around the protected area, helping reduce the localized electrical conditions that contribute to lightning attachment.

Why It Matters
Luxury multifamily communities depend on reliable building systems to deliver a safe and comfortable living experience for residents. In high-lightning regions like Florida, proactive lightning protection can play an important role in reducing operational risk and protecting valuable investments.
CMCE Lightning Suppression is trusted by critical infrastructure owners, commercial property managers, municipalities, industrial facilities, and residential communities worldwide because it focuses on reducing the conditions that lead to lightning attachment, not simply managing a strike after it occurs.
