Radiation Shielding Consultancy for Hospitals
Know how much lead each room needs, and what it will cost, before any material is ordered.
Radiation Shielding (Lead)
Lead thickness is not one number applied everywhere. It is worked out room by room from the equipment, how often it is used and what sits on the other side of each wall. The consultancy sets out that logic, so you neither under-protect a room nor pay for shielding you do not need.
What the consultancy covers
Shielding survey approach
Workload, use factor, occupancy factor and distance considered for each wall, door and window.
Thickness and cost
Lead thickness matched to each room, with the cost effect of the choices made visible.
Rooms and equipment
X-ray, CT, fluoroscopy, cath lab, radiotherapy, nuclear medicine and dental radiography rooms.
Existing rooms and renovations
Review after a wall penetration, renovation or equipment change that may have affected shielding.
Verification and records
How the finished room is verified, and the documentation kept for regulatory and accreditation files.
The exact scope depends on your site and is agreed in writing before work starts.

How pricing works
Consultancy is a paid service and is not free. The fee depends on your site, your sector, the size of the facility and the stage of the project, so there is no single price list.
Send a request and we will reply with a written quotation in Saudi riyals stating the scope, the deliverables and the fee. Nothing starts until you accept it in writing.
Frequently Asked Questions

Is the reference costing a binding quotation?
No. It is an indicative reference for planning and budgeting. A binding price arises only from a signed contract or purchase order.
