We design, build, test, and install shielding
Shielding: Custom Solutions
Custom-engineered RF, magnetic, & radiation shielding for healthcare, laboratory, and government facilities.
Full-Service Shielding, Custom-Engineered
We design, build, test, and install complete MRI shielding solutions, including walls, doors, vents, waveguides, floors, windows, and more.
From high-field MRI RF protection to linear accelerator radiation containment, we ensure your diagnostic and therapeutic environments operate with clarity, safety, and compliance. Poor image quality can lead to misdiagnosis. Our services are focused on delivering superior system performance and patient safety.
Shielding Types Offered
Ensure clarity, safety, and compliance. Our core services are engineered to protect your most sensitive diagnostic equipment from all forms of interference.
Radio Frequency (RF) Shielding
Electromagnetic shielding that isolates sensitive equipment by blocking radio frequency radiation. This is essential for eliminating noise and ensuring clean data acquisition in MRI scanners and diagnostic imaging environments.
Key Applications:
- MRI Suites
- Cellular Test Chambers
- Specialty Diagnostic Rooms
- Testing Laboratories
Magnetic (EMI) Shielding
Isolates equipment from static or low-frequency magnetic fields that standard RF enclosures cannot block. We utilize high-permeability silicon steels, such as M-36 magnetic steel, which is a lightweight solution highly effective at containing the fringe magnetic field. The lower density of M-36 makes it ideal for installations, including those above the ground floor.
Key Applications:
- High-Powered Magnets
- Sensitive Microscopes
- Secure Electrical Platforms
- Passive Layering
- Active Cancellation Systems
Radiation (RAD) Shielding
Provides complete containment systems for ionizing radiation. Effectiveness depends on matching shielding materials (e.g., lead, concrete, low-density polymers) to the radiation type and energy (photons, particles).
Key Applications:
- Linear Accelerators and Cyclotrons
- CT/PET/MRI Combinations
- Nuclear Medicine and Proton Therapy
- Holding/Injector Rooms
National Manufacturing & Custom Fabrication
Control the quality of your entire shielded room from our US-based facility.
Every project is unique. We are experts in ground-up RF MRI room construction, shielded flooring, and modification. We design and fabricate all core components in-house, ensuring the highest level of customization and quality control. We also inventory many stock items that are available for immediate installation.
Full Room Construction & Installation
We are experts in ground-up RF MRI room construction and room modification. We use customized paneling systems (galvanized steel, copper, or lead) tailored to project needs. Our installers minimize facility downtime, typically completing full room builds within 3-5 days.
Specialized Components & Doors
In-house metalwork, welding, and custom engineering allow us to fabricate one-off components tailored precisely to your facility’s unique specifications. We are industry leaders in custom medical door and window construction.
