PTSG shores up Welsh church

Premier Technical Services Group Ltd (PTSG) has completed a specialist electrical services project in Criccieth, North-West Wales. 

Criccieth is located in Eifionydd on the Cardigan Bay shore of the Llŷn Peninsula. The town is a seaside resort, popular with families. Attractions include the ruins of Criccieth Castle, which have extensive views over the town and surrounding countryside. Nearby on Castle Street is Cadwalader’s Ice Cream Parlour, opened in 1927, and the High Street has several bistro-style restaurants. In the centre is Y Maes, part of the original medieval town common. 

As the spectacular photograph shows, engineers from PTSG Electrical Services Ltd installed a new air terminal on the Ty Criccieth church, which is situated on the high street that runs through the town.

An air terminal, also known as a lightning rod, or finial, is a pointed tip rod made from conductive material such as copper or aluminium and is positioned above all other metallic objects on a building or structure to provide external protection from direct lightning strikes. Air Terminals are the metaphorical tip of the iceberg in a lightning protection system. 

PTSG Electrical Services Ltd. is one of the Group’s five independent business divisions. It combines the talent and experience of some of the UK’s leading practitioners in their field.
