Case Studies by Category
MRI Interference Projects
Magnetic field analysis and shielding strategies for MRI suites, imaging departments, and sensitive healthcare environments.
Shielding Design Projects
Custom EMF/RF shielding solutions integrated into walls, floors, ceilings, rooms, and building assemblies.
Industrial EMF Studies
Field analysis and mitigation planning for facilities with heavy electrical equipment or sensitive operational areas.
RF Compliance Reports
RF field testing, shielding verification, and compliance-focused analysis for controlled electromagnetic environments.
Patient Care Area Above Main Electrical Room
A patient care area was located directly above a main electrical room, creating elevated magnetic field exposure from switchgear and feeders in a long-duration occupancy space with limited options for relocation.
Problem
Magnetic field exposure from major electrical infrastructure below patient areas, and no viable relocation due to limited floor-to-floor height.
Solution
FEA performed during DD phase; magnetic shielding integrated within the MER ceiling assembly and coordinated with structural and MEP systems.
Result
Early EMF analysis and proactive slab/ceiling coordination during early planning successfully mitigated risk and prevented costly structural redesigns.
MRI Above Structural Steel Beam
An MRI suite was positioned above a major ferrous structural steel beam that could not be relocated, creating static magnetic field distortion and MRI siting concerns.
Problem
Ferrous interference and static magnetic field distortion affecting OEM siting compliance and MRI operation.
Solution
FEA modeling and localized magnetic shielding integrated around structural steel and above floor slab, coordinated with ceiling and MEP systems.
Result
A coordinated shielding strategy was developed and approved by the MRI OEM for siting compliance.
MRI Adjacent to Electrical Infrastructure
An MRI suite was located near electrical distribution equipment and public circulation areas, creating interference risks from both fixed infrastructure and moving ferrous objects.
Problem
MRI interference risk from nearby electrical infrastructure, a 0.5mT/5G fringe field extending into public areas, and moving ferrous objects along circulation paths.
Solution
MRI siting analysis using FEA modeling, with magnetic shielding integrated into surrounding construction and coordination across electrical and structural disciplines.
Result
Early coordination helped address both internal and external EMF sources before construction, reducing downstream risk to the architecture and MEP systems.
Our Engineering Methodology
C-INTECH follows a structured EMF/RF mitigation process based on the project stage, facility type, and technical requirements.
Consultation
We review the facility type, project goals, interference concerns, sensitive spaces, and performance criteria.
Site Visit & Measurement
For existing facilities, we inspect the site and complete EMF/RF measurements to identify field sources and exposure levels.
Analysis & Engineering Report
We analyze collected data or design documents and use engineering evaluation, including FEA software where required.
Mitigation Design
We recommend practical solutions such as shielding, equipment relocation, space planning, or active field mitigation.
Shielding Installation
When required, mitigation solutions are manufactured in-house and installed by C-INTECH’s trained team.
Final Testing & Verification
We test and verify performance after installation to confirm the system meets project requirements.

RF shielding is used to reduce radio frequency interference and control signal transmission in rooms, enclosures, or facilities that require protected electromagnetic environments.
How do MRI rooms reduce interference?
MRI rooms reduce interference through proper siting, magnetic field analysis, RF shielding, EMF mitigation, and coordination with surrounding electrical and structural systems.
What industries require EMF/RF shielding?
Healthcare, government, defense, research, industrial, infrastructure, and high-tech environments may require EMF/RF shielding depending on equipment sensitivity and field conditions.
How is shielding performance verified?
Shielding performance is verified through on-site testing and measurement after installation to confirm that the mitigation system meets project requirements.
