AERB Consultation & Licensing Support
AERB approval is not a form filled in after the room is built. It depends on decisions taken at design stage — shielding thickness, door specification, layout and access control. Get those wrong and the fix happens after the walls are already up.
Where AERB requirements actually enter a project
Owners often treat AERB as a final sign-off step, something to deal with once the room exists. By then every expensive decision has already been taken. Shielding calculations, room layout and access control need to be compliant from the first drawing, because each of them is embedded in the construction itself.
Retrofitting shielding into a finished room means opening up walls that were already signed off, redoing finishes, and delaying the equipment installation that everything else is waiting on.
Documentation we coordinate
- Shielding design reports — calculations for the specific modality, workload and the occupancy of surrounding spaces
- Layout plan documentation showing controlled areas and access control
- Post-installation radiation survey and leakage certification, with recorded values handed over
- Coordination across modalities — CT, cathlab, PET-CT and nuclear medicine, and MRI where the shielding is RF rather than radiation but is coordinated the same way
- Support to your Radiological Safety Officer through the process
Built in, not bolted on
Because our own teams build the shielding and the lead doors, the certification survey happens against work we are directly accountable for. There is no third-party vendor finish to chase for compliance, and no argument about whose scope the failure sits in when a survey comes back short.
What we do, and what stays with you
We coordinate the technical documentation AERB requires as part of an application — shielding design, layout and certification. The licence itself is held by the facility, and your Radiological Safety Officer remains the responsible person. Confirm the exact filing scope with us for your project, because it varies by modality and by the category of licence being applied for.
