Industrial radiography is one of the oldest and most trusted methods in non-destructive testing, using X-ray and gamma radiation for quality control in manufacturing and the safety inspection of critical components, enabling proactive maintenance.
As the use of industrial radiation expands, so does the need for expert shielding solutions. For over 90 years, NELCO has been a leader in providing tailored industrial shielding solutions, including lead rooms, enclosures, and concrete vaults, designed to meet the unique demands of a wide range of industrial applications. Modular design simplifies de-installation and relocation for facility expansions or moves. Modular vaults may qualify for accelerated depreciation (check with your tax advisor).
NELCO offers comprehensive services, including design, design-assist, physics support, construction, project management, and complete turnkey solutions.
Using Impervius modular block products and Guardian Door Systems, NELCO designs and installs vaults of any size to meet your imaging needs. Whether working with linear accelerators, gamma irradiators, or cyclotron-based equipment, we deliver cost-effective shielding solutions tailored to your requirements.
Our modular concrete products are poured, cured, and inspected off-site, reducing construction interference while saving time and costs. The modular design also simplifies vault de-installation and relocation. To minimize transportation expenses, MegaShield modular blocks are manufactured near your job site and rigorously inspected for quality and compliance.
Whether you need a new vault or are renovating/upgrading an existing one, NELCO provides consultative services to ensure your project is completed on time and within budget. Our comprehensive offerings include design, design-assist, physics support, construction, project management, and complete turnkey solutions.
Additionally, we manufacture, install, and service door systems to ensure safe and reliable operation.
NELCO has extensive experience designing industrial X-ray vaults that address the unique challenges of manufacturing and inspection environments. Our engineering team develops customized shielding solutions that accommodate overhead cranes, rail and conveyor systems, robotic automation, and other material handling equipment. We also account for project-specific requirements such as explosive hazards, seismic design criteria, and other structural and safety considerations to deliver a facility that is both compliant and optimized for your operation.
NELCO collaborates closely with your team to design and build X-ray enclosures of virtually any size using high-quality lead and steel materials. From compact cabinet systems to large walk-in inspection rooms, we deliver solutions tailored to your specific application. Our expertise includes both closed-cabinet and conveyorized systems, engineered to maximize safety, reliability, and productivity.
Recognizing that throughput is critical to your operation, NELCO works with you to optimize system performance while minimizing downtime. Our team can also perform shielding and radiation physics analyses to optimize enclosure design and material selection, reducing the system footprint and overall project costs without compromising safety or regulatory compliance.
NELCO offers unmatched expertise in the design and construction of imaging rooms for fixed X-ray systems and industrial CT applications. We manufacture our standard CaPbin™ X-ray cabinet, available in a wide range of sizes and lead shielding thicknesses to meet diverse inspection requirements. For specialized applications, NELCO works closely with customers to design, optimize, manufacture, and install custom X-ray cabinets tailored to their specific needs.
In addition, NELCO manufactures, installs, and services radiation-shielded door systems, ensuring the safe, reliable operation of your imaging facility. Recognizing that productivity is critical, our team collaborates with customers to optimize system layout and performance, maximizing throughput and operational efficiency.
With NELCO, you get industrial shielding solutions that combine precision engineering, unrivaled durability, and a commitment to exceeding safety standards.
