ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELDS (EMF)
SHIELDING
- ILLUSTRATIONS FROM PROJECTS THAT WE HAVE COMPLETED
|
PROJECT
A
|
A
glass fronted office was affected by electromagnetic fields (EMF) from a sub-station
below. Some of the fields were coming in through the glass front
wall.
The proposal was to install
shielding on the floor under the carpet and also within a 1.3
metre high partition wall to be constructed adjacent to the
window wall. The work included
removing workstations, furniture and computers and lifting the
carpet tiles.
|
|
The low height partition wall was then constructed and the shielding
installed. Finishing included installing and painting plasterboard
to the wall and replacing the carpet and fittings. |
| THE RESULT |
|
|
| The project was
effectively completed in one weekend so that staff resumed work
on the Monday morning. The final coat of paint was added on
the Tuesday evening. Shielding against the window achieved the
desired remediation whilst retaining natural light and a pleasant
appearance. |

| PROJECT
B |
|
Electromagnetic Fields (EMF) from cables on a cabletray in the basement affected a conference
area above. Fire sprinklers, gas main and other services were
located above the cabletray.
The solution was to install shielding of inverted-U profile.
However, to allow installation of the shields, the cabletray
and gas main hangers had to be removed in careful sequence,
the shielding installed and the hangers replaced. |
|
| RESULT |
|
| The result was
a successful EMF remediation ensuring a safe work environment in
the room above. |
|
| NOTE:
A concrete slab and metal formwork are no protection against
electro-magnetic fields. |
