If You Can Draw It, We Can Make It
Custom Designed Containments, Bags, and Covers
Lancs Industries manufactures custom radiation shielding and lead-free radiation containment products as well as chemical and bio-shielding protection using a flexible design and a manufacturing process that is always responsive to customer needs.
Full Design Customization
Lancs Industries can manufacture custom containments, covers and bags in:
- any size,
- 3 dimensional shape,
- configuration,
- with handles, straps and grommets,
- from any material suitable for containing radiological matter.
Because every containment product from Lancs Industries is individually produced, we can make any item to the specific needs of your project. While the pictures below from our photo carousel are examples of some of the products we have produced, contact us to discuss the specific needs of your project and we can provide you a draft drawing of the containment prototype product. We have found this collaborative approach to work best to get our customers the product solutions they need.
For over 50 years – if you can draw it – Lancs can make it!
Lancs Industries excels at fabricating customized containment products with one-of-a-kind configurations and unique dimensions. We collaborate with you to determine the best design, shape, and custom features for your project and help you choose from the following options:
- Material: Plastic film vs. laminate vinyl sheet vs. woven fabric
- Performance: Flexibility vs. durability
- Finish: Transparent / vision, translucent / light, opaque / security
- Formulation: Fire retardant, incinerable, launderable
- Support: Tie-offs, grommets, drum ports, inflatable
- Features: Drawcord w/lock, bungee cord for ends, velcro straps
Metal Work
In addition to manufacturing soft-sided containments and covers, Lancs can fabricate items requiring metal work. We design, machine, and assemble components made from carbon or stainless steel, aluminum, and lead.
- Water Shield Tanks to provide radiation protection
- Isolation Booths for radiation surveys with semi-permanent equipment
- Storage Racks and Bins to secure large components or material
- Ventilation Carts to house HEPA filters and air supply equipment
- Transfer Ports for handling items between containments with sleeving
Custom Design Examples
Lancs manufactured a customized containment control enclosure for the Brookhaven Graphite Research Reactor at the Brookhaven National Laboratory.The entire excavating system, support crane, waste load-out system, reactor roof and the entire north side of the reactor is housed in this contamination control enclosure. The support frame for this tent had to be designed to support the massive walls of this containment under a negative air pressure. Airlocks on the each end of the north side waste load-out area enable waste crates, tooling and personnel to enter the area and leave while negative pressure is maintained in the containment and support the radiological controls necessary when handling contaminated material.
Sandia National Laboratories has developed the world’s largest electromagnetic pulse generator to pursue research in nuclear fusion. The lab performs experiments on unique substances using this revolutionary “Z Machine.” Lancs was asked to design a complex set of containments in support of this important national research program. These Lancs containments protected the Z Machine components from radioactive contamination while allowing the experiments to proceed without interference. See a simulation of the Lancs Z-Machine Containment operations here. (Lancs manufactured all of the components in yellow in the diagrams.)
