At COMCO, we’ve pioneered PES—a groundbreaking conductive material that’s your ultimate solution for challenging grounding issues. Our innovation in permanent earthing has been put to the test, meeting the rigorous standards of IEC 62561-7 and IEEE 80-2000 Clause 14.5. We’ve introduced a new era of corrosion resistance and electrical performance previously missing in the industry.
PES sets a new benchmark for environmental responsibility too. It’s free from sulfur, sodium chloride, sulfuric acid, and hydrochloric acid—no harmful leaching, no pollution concerns. Compliant with stringent regulations, it’s trusted by both provincial and federal authorities.
With a resistivity of under 0.12 Ohm-m, PES is here to stay. It’s permanent, maintenance-free, and won’t wash away. No matter the soil conditions, it enhances grounding effectiveness. It’s your go-to solution for areas with poor conductivity—think rocky terrain, mountain peaks, or sandy soil.
Remember, whenever you need permanent earthing, PES shines. Whether it’s wrapped around the rod in an augured hole or enclosing grounding conductors in a trench, we’ve got your back.”

PES by COMCO USA represents a cutting-edge conductive material designed to resolve even your most challenging grounding issues. It has undergone third-party testing in accordance with IEC 62561-7, confirming that PES complies with IEEE 80-2000 standard Clause 14.5 on page 68. This standard marks a significant milestone in corrosion resistance and electrical performance, filling a longstanding gap in the industry.
PES distinguishes itself by being free from sulfur, sodium chloride, sulfuric acid, and hydrochloric acid—substances that can leach out and harm the environment. These elements are strictly prohibited by both provincial and federal authorities due to their potential to contaminate surrounding areas, including the water table. With a resistivity of less than 0.12 Ohm-m, PES is not only permanent but also maintenance-free, ensuring it never leaches or washes away.
Regardless of soil conditions, PES enhances grounding effectiveness, making it the ideal choice for areas with poor conductivity, such as rocky terrain, mountain peaks, or sandy soil.”

TRENCH INSTALLATION GROUND ROD BACKFILL INSTALLATION
CONVENTIONAL PES
Conventional Earthing cannot meet the standard. PES is advance and as per I.E.E.E standard .Cost of installation is very high. PES is low cost and permanent solution Lengthy installation procedure Quick and easy installation This method require sulphuric acid, salts etc.They absorb and pollute the earth and water table.PES does not comprise any such materials And will not leach away with the passage of time.Limited durability PES is durable & permanent.Weather conditions adversely disturbs the resistivity level. PES maintains resistance level in any weather condition It require maintenance on regular basis PES is maintenance free. The resistivity level obtained first time will remain stable Soil condition with low resistivity is highly corrosive. Any conductor in dry soil will be deteriorated instantly PES protects conductor from any corrosion effects in any soil condition Moisture is highly required to maintain resistance, in a dry conditions. PES is free from any such conditions water. ESTIMATED OF PES FOR BACK FILLING AROUND ROD

Excess standing water must be removed from the hole. If premixing PES in a slurry form, use a
standard cement mixer or a mixing box, wheelbarrow, etc. Use 5.5 to 7.5 liters (1 to 2 gallons) of
clean water per bag of PES.
Bore dia may vary from 3-12 inches and
depth vary from 8-15 feet, as per soil
resistivity.
100% Pure Cooper Rod and Cooper
Bounded Rod, to be used with PES.
Dig a trench at least 10.2 cm (4
inches) wide x 76.2 cm (30 inches)
deep or below the frost line,
whichever is deeper.* Spread out
enough PES to uniformly cover
bottom of trench about 2.5cm (1
inch)deep.
Carefully cover the PES™
With soil to a depth of about 10 cm
(4 inches), making sure not to
expose the conductor. Tamp down
the soil, then fill in the trench.
Mix PES into a slurry form. Use 1.5 to 2
gallons (5.7 to 7.6 liters) of pure-potable
water per bag of PES.
Use a standard cement mixer or mix in
mixing box, wheelbarrow, etc.
Spread out enough PES to uniformly
cover bottom of bore –about 2.5 feet
deep.
About 4-6 Inches of the pure copper
