- Maze entrances and high-performance vault door packages
- Control room viewing and communication openings
Circular Particle Accelerators
- Cyclotron and synchrotron facilities
- Isotope production and adjacent controlled areas
- Shielded service penetrations and transfer points
- Door/maze product packages based on the plan set
Particle Therapy Facilities
- Proton therapy and carbon therapy environments
- Shielded access points and transfer systems
- Specialty door assemblies where neutron control is required
- Coordination support for layered shielding build-ups
PET, CT & Simulators
- P.E.T. suites, C.T. suites, and simulator rooms
- Operator viewing windows, doors, and lined barriers
- Optimized solutions for workflow and infection control
Build Types
- New construction & additions to existing facilities
- High dose and low dose treatment rooms
- Upgrades to existing treatment rooms (phased work)
Shielding Solutions for High-Energy Vaults
We supply a curated set of shielding products and assemblies commonly specified in high-energy vaults and adjacent imaging areas—built to match shielding report requirements and construction details.
Vault Doors & Access Control
- Lead-lined and layered door assemblies (swing or slide)
- Heavy-duty frames, thresholds, and hardware packages
- Labyrinth/maze interface detailing support
- Options for specialty high-energy door cores where required
Shielded Glazing & Vision Panels
- Lead glass vision windows for control rooms and observation
- Custom sizes, lead equivalency, and framing options
- Glazing solutions for clinical visibility and workflow
Lined Barriers & Components
- Lead-lined drywall/gypsum and plywood assemblies
- Lead sheet, lead brick, and specialty shielding materials
- Penetration/patching solutions and accessories
Pass-Throughs & Transfers
- Shielded pass-through boxes for controlled material transfer
- Custom sizes and lining levels to match scope
- Integration support for wall build-ups
Neutron-Mitigation Layers (When Applicable)
- Hydrogenous and borated materials often used where neutron control is required
- Layered build-ups that may include high-Z + hydrogenous materials in assemblies
- Door/maze and penetration products aligned to the physicist’s requirements
Upgrade-Friendly Packages
- Phased retrofit options for existing rooms
- Door replacements, glazing upgrades, and new shielded openings
- Clear submittals to reduce field rework
How We Help on High-Complexity Projects
High-energy rooms move faster when product selection, submittals, and installation details are aligned early. Our process is built to reduce RFIs and avoid costly rework at doors, glazing, and penetrations.
1) Review your scope
Share your shielding report, drawings, schedules, and any details on equipment energy, maze layout, and adjacent occupancies.
- Identify shielded openings, door types, and viewing requirements
- Confirm lead equivalency / barrier build-ups per scope
- Flag coordination items (frames, embeds, penetrations, wall thickness)
2) Quote + submittal-ready details
We deliver a clear package with options, lead times, and documentation your GC can use.
- Line-item product mapping to plan notes (doors, glazing, pass-throughs, accessories)
- Shop drawing support for custom pieces
- Install/receiving guidance for shielded products
Request a Quote
Email your drawings/shielding report and a scope list. If you’re early-stage, send what you have—equipment type, room count, and any known shielding levels—and we’ll help define a product-ready path forward.
What to send
- Shielding report (or draft) and floor plan
- Door schedule + opening sizes
- Vision window sizes and lead equivalency
- Pass-throughs / penetrations / specialty details
- Project location + timeline

FAQ
Quick answers for common vault and high-energy shielding questions.
Do you provide shielding calculations or a physicist report?
Shielding calculations and final design should be completed and signed by a qualified radiation physicist. We support the report by supplying products and assemblies that match specified shielding levels and construction details.
Can you support LINAC rooms above 10 MV where neutrons may be a consideration?
Yes—where neutron mitigation is required by the project’s shielding design, we can support product assemblies that incorporate the specified layered approach (e.g., high-Z layers for photons and hydrogenous/borated layers for neutron moderation/capture), particularly at doors/mazes and other openings.
Do you help with upgrades to existing treatment rooms?
Absolutely. We often support phased work: door replacements, glazing upgrades, new shielded openings, and accessory updates—while keeping downtime in mind.
What do you need to quote a high-energy vault package?
Best case: shielding report + plan set + door/window schedules. If you’re early-stage, send equipment type (LINAC/cyclotron/proton), number of rooms, and any known shielding levels—then we’ll help define the product scope.
