ground-enhance

Meu caro Tissot (belo nome!)

Frequentemente hastes de aterramento são enterradas junto com composto que melhore a condutividade do solo. Na minha época, já fazem algumas dezenas de anos, usava-se carvão.
Procurando nessa linha, encontrei materiais chamados de GROUND ENHANCER baseados em pó de carvão que parecem realizar essa tarefa.
Veja exemplo:
"To improve conductivity of a grounding system we recommend using Ground Enhancement Material (GEM). Only rarely do grounding system designers and contractors get to work on a site with good grounding conditions. Even under ideal circumstances, soil structure can vary and make it difficult to achieve uniform, low levels of resistivity across a wide area. Under almost all soil conditions, the use of a ground enhancement material will improve grounding effectiveness. Some are permanent and require no maintenance. When selecting a ground enhancement material be sure it is compatible with the ground rod, conductor and connection material."

GEM is a low-resistance, non-corrosive, carbon dust based material that improves grounding effectiveness, expecially in areas of poor conductivity. GEM contains cement, which hardens when set to provide a permanent, maintenance-free, low-resistant grounding system that never leaches or washes away.

Thanks, Claudio!
disagree erik b : grounding is not made of PLASTIC MATERIAL!!!! Nor are the steel rods LAID, but INSERTED, RAMMMED, or something.

Ok, that was quite a strong response on your part! The explanation above was just a cut-and-pasted excerpt from a website to show that pipes are laid into the ground.
