The Installation Process
Our approach to installing radiation shielded drywall is meticulous and tailored to meet the specific safety requirements of each facility. This process involves several critical steps to ensure that the installation not only provides effective radiation protection but also integrates seamlessly with the existing structures and systems of the building.
Initial Assessment and Planning
Before any actual installation begins, our team conducts a thorough assessment of the facility’s layout and the specific areas where radiation shielding is required. This planning stage involves consulting with facility managers, architects, and radiation safety officers to understand the scope of radiation use and the level of protection needed. Based on this assessment, we develop a detailed installation plan that outlines the placement of lead-lined drywall panels and other shielding components like door frames and viewing windows.
Material Selection
Choosing the right materials is crucial for effective radiation shielding. The core component of radiation shielded drywall is a layer of lead laminated to the board. The thickness of the lead is determined based on the type of radiation used in the facility and the amount of exposure that the walls are expected to endure. We source our materials from trusted suppliers who meet all regulatory standards for safety and quality, ensuring that every component, from the lead sheets to the gypsum board, is up to the task.
Precise Installation
The actual installation process requires precision and attention to detail. Our skilled technicians are trained to handle and install lead-lined drywall with care, ensuring that each panel is properly aligned and secured. Special techniques are used to cut and fit the drywall around corners, doorways, and other architectural features without compromising the integrity of the shielding. Attention is particularly focused on the seams and joints between panels, as these are potential weak points for radiation leakage. Lead strips or flashing are used to bridge these gaps, creating a continuous barrier against radiation.
Quality Assurance and Compliance Checks
After the installation, we conduct rigorous quality assurance checks to ensure that the installation meets all safety standards and regulations. This includes using specialized equipment to test the integrity of the shielding and ensuring that there are no gaps or weak spots. Compliance with the National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP) guidelines and other relevant standards is verified to guarantee that the installation provides adequate protection.
​
Finalization and Cleanup
​
Once the installation is verified for quality and compliance, our team finalizes the setup by finishing the surfaces to match the facility's aesthetics. This might involve painting, applying texture, or installing additional architectural details to ensure that the functional elements of the radiation shielding do not detract from the overall design of the space. Cleanup is conducted thoroughly to ensure that the facility is left clean and ready for use, minimizing any disruption caused by the construction process.
