Are you BIM ready?
|
Four questions you need to answer
|
| |
The UK government first introduced its Building Information Modelling (BIM) strategy in 2011, mandating that all centrally funded government construction projects of £5 million or over require BIM to be used in its projects by 2016.
With less than 12 months to go, here are four questions you need to ask yourself to ensure you are BIM ready.

Product focus
|
Lead bricks
|
| |
While lead-lined boards are one of Midland Lead’s core products, some radiation therapy installations – such as gamma knife rooms, HDR rooms or multi-modality rooms – will require a greater level of radiation protection. In these instances, where the protection needs to be greater than 10mm thick, lead bricks are the most appropriate material to build a shielding system.

Lead-lined boards

Uncertain what thickness of lead-lined boards you require for an x-ray installation? We've created an infographic that gives you indicative lead thicknesses. Remember to always consult a radiation protection advisor for the precise specifications to meet your requirements.
