Had a good German Professor at PSU who
emphatically taught that grounding systems are to
be placed on the High side of any concrete what
so ever .. He felt that the highly alkaline
concrete would leech for years and neutralize the
conductivity of any grounding system and the low
side... Also he said for maximum effectiveness
the grounding system should be fed with cationic
electrolytes (sodium, potassium, magnesium, and
calcium) to keep the efficiency high?.
