Our Bespoke Precast Division had an interesting task on their hands recently, with the production of roof sections for a medical building for Alliance Medical.
Broomfield Construction needed a custom roof system satisfying three key criteria:
๐ฅ๐๐
๐๐ฟ๐ฒ๐บ๐ฒ ๐ ๐ฎ๐๐: Ultra-dense precast concrete capable of absorbing continuous radiation.
โ ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐บ๐ผ๐๐ฎ๐ฏ๐น๐ฒ ๐๐๐ป๐ฐ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป๐ฎ๐น๐ถ๐๐: Precision units designed to seal tightly while allowing future machinery access.
โ ๐๐ป๐๐ถ-๐ฆ๐๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐บ๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐๐ฒ๐ผ๐บ๐ฒ๐๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฒ๐: Custom joint configurations that block straight-line radiation paths to eliminate shine.
Cyclotron vaults require removable roof sections for heavy equipment placement, but every joint presents a vulnerability. Traditional roof structures risk radiation streamingโa phenomenon where particles escape ("shine") through gaps, compromising surrounding areas.

Each roof plug was cast under controlled conditions to guarantee consistent material density and eliminate internal voids. By partnering with Broomfield Construction, we delivered a high-performance roof system that sets a benchmark for structural reliability and radiation safety.
