Site Selection for Radiology Centres

What we check before you sign

• Room and clearance requirements — candidate premises screened against the equipment minimum room dimensions, slab-to-slab height and service clearances
• The delivery route — gate, driveway, entrance, corridors, turning radii, lift dimensions and lift capacity, door openings, all the way to the final gantry position
• Structural capacity for the static load in position and the transit load along that route
• Power and earthing adequacy — incoming supply, transformer capacity, and whether a compliant dedicated earth can be achieved on the site at all
• Radiation safety adjacency — what occupies the spaces above, below and beside the proposed room, since that drives shielding cost and can complicate AERB approval
• Expansion room — whether a second modality can be added later without rebuilding

A written go/no-go report, per site

Each candidate site gets a written feasibility report rather than a verbal opinion: what the site supports as-is, what would need remediation, and what that remediation would cost. That turns a leasing decision into a comparison between known quantities instead of a guess.

Common site failures we catch early

• Corridors, lifts and door openings too small for the equipment — the failure that surfaces on delivery day if nobody checked
• Slabs that cannot take a magnet or gantry without strengthening
• Incoming supply inadequate for the modality, with no viable upgrade path
• Adjacency problems that make shielding disproportionately expensive
• No workable quench vent route for an MRI, which can rule out a floor entirely
• Nowhere serviceable to site a chiller platform

Site and equipment are one decision

Evaluating premises without a specific equipment model in mind risks a mismatch found later, because the equipment dimensions and loads are what define whether a site works. We assess candidate sites and candidate systems against each other, so the two decisions are made together. See how this fits the wider turnkey scope.
