Derriford Hospital uses MagnaDense | Safe, effective shielding by LKAB Minerals

Описание: Discover how LKAB Minerals’ MagnaDense was used to deliver safe and effective radiation shielding for a new radiotherapy decant bunker at the Plymouth Oncology Centre, Derriford Hospital, UK. As part of a critical healthcare expansion delivered by Tilbury Douglas, MagnaDense – a high-density natural aggregate – played a key role in enabling a compact, high-performance shielding solution for a £1.9 million linear accelerator (LINAC).

In this video, we highlight how MagnaDense concrete was used to reduce wall thickness in radiation-critical areas while maintaining the highest levels of protection. The solution supported an efficient structural design, helped minimise the building footprint, and allowed construction on a constrained site without compromising shielding performance.

Project: Plymouth Oncology Centre, Derriford Hospital
Product: MagnaDense
Application: Radiation shielding concrete for LINAC bunker
Benefit: Reduced wall thickness, compact design, uninterrupted radiotherapy services

What is MagnaDense?
MagnaDense is a high-density aggregate manufactured from the natural mineral magnetite. It is widely used in civil engineering and construction for applications including radiation shielding, ballasting, and offshore foundations.
