Commercial communication site practice is to have a "halo" - 
large-diameter wire or bus bar - all around the walls and tie each rack, 
stand-alone box, conduit, cable ladder, etc. to the "halo".  This is 
then connected to a similar grounding system buried around the perimeter 
of the building tied to ground rods per code.  Sounds tedious but that's 
what keeps the facility safe.

With thanks to my late colleague, Tom Croda, the recognized national 
expert in the field of comm site power and grounding, who came to work 
for my firm after retiring from Sprint and proceeded to teach us the 
right way to do those things.
