Walls on radiation island3/22/2023 Included design consultation and materials for the addition of a PET/CT suite at the Shaare Zedek Medical Center. The solid core wood doors consisted of 1/2" lead and required heavy duty continuous hinges to handle the weight.ĭ.Yamin and sons (GC) / Rubinstein Ofer Architects This project included manufacturing and installing the following lead products interlocking lead bricks, lead lined plywood, solid core wood lead lined doors, and misc sheet lead. this made the door approximately 1200 pounds and required heavy duty Rixon pivots to support the weight. One of the solid core wood doors required 5/8" thick lead. Included the manufacturing and installation of lead bricks, lead lined plywood, and lead lined doors. Worked with contractor remotely to assist with install. Provided two sliding neutron vault doors with all necessary components. RPP used a proprietary method of "floating" the steel shielding to eliminate two concrete pours and save the owner time and $ Each sliding neutron vault door weighed in excess of 42,000 pounds. Two of these test cells utilized both a sliding neutron vault door and a swinging neutron vault door in conjunction with one another. Included furnishing and installing steel shielding, duct shielding and five huge neutron vault doors for three new test cells. We used interlocking lead bricks fro the wall shielding. Included furnishing and installing one direct shielded sliding linac vault door (neutron door) and 1" - 3" of additional lead shielding in an existing linac vault to prepare the vault for upgraded equipment. Included furnishing 2 manual vault doors shielded with lead and borated polyethylene, solid core wood doors, and leaded glass with frame. This was the second phase to the project we began in May, 2013. The HD block required a special platform for housing. The linac vault door (neutron door) consisted of 5" of lead and 11" of 5% borated polyethylene. Included furnishing and installing one direct shielded sliding linac vault door (neutron door) and HD block for duct shielding. We used our 2-1/2" thick interlocking lead bricks for the brachytherapy (HDR) walls. The brachytherapy (HDR)door consisted of 2" thick lead. The linac vault door consisted of 6" of lead and 14" of 5% borated polyethylene. Included furnishing and installing one direct shielded sliding linac vault door, one sliding brachytherapy (HDR) door, and shielding the walls of the brachytherapy (HDR) room with 2-1/2" thick lead. The top rail was heated to ensure proper functioning in adverse weather conditions. Each door leaf was 9.25' wide by 20' tall and contained half inch thick lead lining. The total weight of the door was 10,000 pounds. Included furnishing and installing a huge bi-parting x-ray door for a large industrial x-ray hangar. RPP used 2" thick steel plates at 2' x 3' to reach the 10' height requirement and layers of 2" interlocking lead brick and 1" interlocking lead brick to meet the same height requirement with the lead shielding. Included furnishing and installing 2" thick steel plate and 5" thick lead in two test cells at an Accuray facility. The clinac vault door consisted of 6" of lead and 14" of 5% borated polyethylene. Included furnishing and installing one direct shielded sliding clinac vault door. The door consisted of 6" of interlocking lead bricks and 10" of 5% borated polyethylene. Included furnishing and installing one direct shielded sliding neutron door. The HDR vault swing door consisted of 2" of lead. The sliding neutron doors included 4" of lead and 5" of 5% borated polyethylene. Included the installation of two direct shielded sliding neutron vault doors for linear accelerator rooms, one HDR vault swing door, and 4" lead shielding on four walls for the linear accelerator rooms. The new vault door consisted of 1/4" lead and 2" of 5% borated polyethylene. Included the removal of an existing neutron swing door for a linear accelerator vault, and replacing it with a new neutron swing door. Thomas Cancer Survivor Center at Methodist Medical Center The sliding neutron door and duct shielding for the second linear accelerator room is to be completed some time in 2015. It was not possible to utilize heavy machinery to install the plate so they had to be cut to sizes that would be manageable to install manually. This was accomplished using layers of 1/4" thick steel plates and staggering the seams. Included furnishing and installing 12" of steel on the linac vault ceiling. Included furnishing and installing lead lined plywood with lead angles for the seams and penetrations, one lead lined solid core wood door with matching frame, and a lead lined view window frame Included furnishing and installing interlocking lead bricks, lead lined plywood, sheet lead on walls and ceiling and lead lined solid core wood doors and frames.
