MRI Shielding Facility Site Planning
MRI facility and site planning that’s precise, code-aware, and built to prevent surprises later. We deliver the full planning package—site evaluation, room criteria, layouts, and coordination—so your MRI project stays on schedule, on budget, and ready for a smooth install and approvals.
Before/After
Planned for compliance. Built for performance.
We deliver complete MRI facility and site planning packages—site assessments, room criteria, layouts, and multidisciplinary coordination—to support confident approvals, smooth installation, and a successful go-live.
From shielded to scan-ready
By the numbers
Experts in Shielding Facility Site Planning
Proven MRI shielding design support—from first calc to final closeout. Fast turnarounds, clean coordination, predictable outcomes.
One team, from feasibility to final plan
Don’t gamble with image quality, scanner uptime, or your budget by choosing a space that can’t realistically support an MRI.
Fewer Surprises, Smarter Early Decisions
MRI projects go sideways when site constraints show up late—structure, power, HVAC capacity, access routes, and adjacency issues. We evaluate the real-world conditions early and translate them into clear requirements so you can make confident go/no-go decisions and avoid expensive redesigns.
Code-Ready, Permitting-Ready Planning Documents
We produce planning deliverables that align with applicable codes, manufacturer requirements, and project standards—layouts, room criteria, and coordination notes that make approvals and downstream design faster. The result: a clearer path from concept to permit to construction.
Faster Timelines from Concept to Design Start
Whether you’re planning a new suite or fitting an MRI into an existing facility, we move quickly from site data to a buildable direction—defining room needs, equipment clearances, and infrastructure requirements so your team can start design without waiting on guesses.
Coordination for MEP, Structural, and Operational Flow
MRI planning succeeds or fails at the interfaces—electrical capacity, HVAC performance, chilled water, medical gases, structural support, vibration, access routes, and patient/staff flow. We coordinate these early so the selected site supports the magnet, the clinical workflow makes sense, and the project stays on schedule.
Common Questions
MRI facility and site planning is the upfront work that confirms a space can support an MRI—before you spend real money on full design, equipment moves, or construction. It typically includes evaluating site constraints (power, HVAC capacity, structural support, vibration, access routes, and adjacency considerations), confirming room sizing and clearances, and mapping the clinical workflow for patients and staff. The output is a set of planning recommendations and criteria that guides architects, engineers, and contractors—so the design starts in the right direction, with fewer surprises and fewer expensive changes later.
Suitability comes down to a combination of infrastructure, physical constraints, and operational practicality. We look at whether the building can deliver the required electrical service and mechanical performance, whether the structure can handle loads and vibration limits, and whether there’s a realistic path for delivery and installation of the magnet and supporting equipment. We also review adjacencies and workflow: patient access, control room placement, equipment room needs, and how the suite fits into daily operations. The goal isn’t to force an MRI into a space—it’s to identify what will work, what won’t, and what upgrades would be required so you can make a confident decision early.
Ideally, planning starts as early as you’re narrowing down sites or deciding between renovation versus new build. You don’t need a final vendor selection to do meaningful planning, because many MRI requirements are common across systems—space planning, access, infrastructure readiness, and workflow fundamentals. Once a vendor is selected, planning becomes even more precise by aligning room criteria and equipment requirements to the specific system. Bringing planning support in early reduces risk, protects your timeline, and helps avoid the classic problem of selecting a site first and discovering later that the required upgrades are bigger (and pricier) than expected.
