MRI Magnetic Shielding Installation
Magnetic shielding installation that’s precise, compliant, and built to pass inspection the first time. We handle the full install — materials, field coordination, placement, and verification — so your MRI suite stays on schedule, on budget, and the fringe field stays exactly where it’s supposed to.
Before/After
Designed for compliance. Built for performance.
We deliver comprehensive magnetic shielding installation packages—complete with calculations, details, and coordination—to support design, installation, testing, and final acceptance.

Magnetic Shielding Installation Experts
Proven MRI magnetic shielding installation—from first calculation to final closeout. Fast turnarounds, clean coordination, predictable outcomes.
One team, from concept to closeout
Don’t gamble with safety clearances, magnet siting, or your budget by settling for inadequate magnetic shielding.
Fewer Change Orders, Smoother Construction
Our magnetic shielding designs are built for constructability — clear layouts, coordinated steel placement, and practical installation details. That means fewer surprises in the field, less rework, and better control over structural and construction impacts.
Code-Ready, OEM-Ready Deliverables
We produce fringe field modeling, calculations, and drawings aligned with MRI manufacturer requirements, safety standards, and local codes — creating a clear path to OEM review, AHJ approval, and final signoff.
Faster Turnarounds for New Builds and Retrofits
Whether you’re planning a new MRI suite or adapting an existing space, we move quickly from site constraints to a buildable shielding solution. Ideal for tight footprints, adjacent occupancies, and aggressive project timelines.
Coordination for Structure, Adjacencies, and Safety Zones
Magnetic shielding succeeds or fails at the interfaces — structure, floors, walls, adjacent rooms, public spaces, and equipment areas. We coordinate these early so your fringe field stays contained, your safety zones are protected, and your design stays compliant.
Common Questions
A complete magnetic shielding installation includes the delivery, placement, and integration of ferromagnetic shielding materials (typically steel) around the MRI suite to control the fringe magnetic field and meet safety and clearance requirements. This includes installing wall, floor, and ceiling shielding panels or plates, coordinating structural support for shielding loads, integrating shielding with architectural and MEP systems, and ensuring proper alignment with the magnet location. A full-scope installation also includes field coordination, sequencing with other trades, and preparation for testing, OEM review, and final acceptance.
Magnetic shielding installation timelines vary based on room size, shielding thickness, structural requirements, and site conditions. Most installations take anywhere from several days to a few weeks. Schedule impacts typically come from structural readiness, access limitations, crane or material handling logistics, late changes to magnet siting, or coordination with adjacent construction activities. Retrofits and live hospital environments can add complexity due to restricted work hours, noise limits, and safety protocols.
After installation, magnetic shielding performance is verified by measuring the fringe magnetic field to confirm that field levels outside the room meet project, OEM, and safety requirements (such as the 5-gauss boundary or site-specific criteria). If measurements indicate leakage or non-compliance, targeted adjustments can be made — such as adding supplemental steel or modifying placement — followed by re-testing. Final documentation is provided to support OEM acceptance, AHJ approval, and project closeout.
