Solution

building designers will hire a lightning protection engineer for any building over 75 ft. tall, larger downleads and more ground rods/electrodes in the ground are used. 115KCmil wires are used and bonded to steel columns on the way to the ground. This system will safely dissipate the lightning strike. On the top
