Radiation shielding & lead shieldingInvisible radiation. Visible responsibility.
We design, manufacture and install shielding for medical, industrial inspection, nuclear and research applications – as individual components or turnkey solutions.
large radiation shielding cabins for industrial CT worldwide
containers and inserts for nuclear waste
wall thickness of lead inserts in transport and storage casks
aluminium-lead composite for particle accelerators
Radiation shielding cabins and enclosures
For industrial computed tomography, X-ray inspection and research we build walk-in cabins up to large cabins for components weighing several tonnes. We have delivered more than 50 large cabins worldwide.
- Designed for radiation source, energy and available space
- Steel-lead sandwich panels, double-walled in steel, stainless steel, copper or aluminium
- Labyrinth-shielded penetrations for cables, ventilation and media
- Installation on site and inspection by certified experts
Mobile shielding walls and modular protection systems
When requirements change, modular solutions are needed: shielding walls and elements that can be moved, extended or retrofitted later.
- Mobile shielding walls for laboratories, clinics and inspection areas
- Modular wall systems and lead bricks
- Shielding walls and sandwich joints to drawing
Radiation shielding doors and gates
Manual or automatic shielding doors and gates, integrated into the operating concept of the entire facility.
- PLC control with frequency converter for smooth starting and braking
- Infinitely adjustable opening and closing cycles
- Emergency opening during power failure with manual device
- Remote diagnostics of operating states
- Maintenance and regular inspection by certified experts
Lead lining and room shielding
From complete room shielding to ready-to-install components for CT and X-ray systems, we manufacture to the OEM’s drawing and specification.
- Complete room shielding for radiology and nuclear medicine
- Ready-to-install components for CT and X-ray systems
- Self-adhesive lead foil, also tin-coated
- Laboratory equipment for nuclear medicine and pharma
Shielded containers for nuclear technology
For nuclear technology we supply shielding of every kind – including manufacture, delivery, installation and commissioning.
- Transport and storage casks, lead inserts up to 120 mm wall thickness
- Radionuclide containers, lead cells and Type A packages
- Shielding components for hot cells
- Pore-free and void-free casting using the MSC process
- Evaporator plants for low-level radioactive waste water (decontamination factor > 106)
Shielding for security and inspection technology
For inspection systems, security technology and research we manufacture large, thick-walled shielding – up to synchrotron applications.
- Shielding enclosures for X-ray and CT inspection systems
- Detector shielding against natural background radiation
- Beamline shielding in synchrotrons
- Special shielding to your specification

Simplified estimate based on tenth-value layers of lead (broad beam, guide values from technical literature, density 11.34 g/cm³). Scatter, geometry, use and occupancy factors and applicable standards are not taken into account. Our engineering team carries out the final design.
Frequently asked questions about radiation shielding
How thick does lead shielding need to be?
It depends on the type of radiation, energy, dose rate, distance and the permitted value behind the shielding. For X-rays up to 150 kV a few millimetres of lead are often sufficient; for gamma emitters such as Co-60 several centimetres are needed. Our shielding calculator gives a first estimate; our engineering team carries out the final design.
Do you supply only material or complete cabins?
Both. We supply semi-finished products such as lead sheet and foil as well as complete cabins, doors and containers – including design, manufacture, installation and commissioning.
Do you manufacture to the OEM’s drawing?
Yes. For manufacturers of CT and X-ray systems we produce ready-to-install components to drawing and specification, documented and on schedule.
Do you install on site?
Yes. Our installation teams assemble cabins, doors and shielding at the customer’s site – in Germany and internationally.
