Services

Building a proton therapy center is complex work that requires the right team. We’ll help you assemble that team, bringing our expertise to ensure your project’s success.

Design

We design proton therapy centers that seamlessly integrate hundred-ton particle accelerators with 14-foot concrete shielding, creating healing environments for patients and efficient workflows for staff.

Project Management

We oversee your project from initial planning through first patient treatment, coordinating specialized teams and managing the complex 3-5 year timeline these facilities demand.

Owner Representation

We advocate for your interests throughout the development process, ensuring that equipment selections, site decisions, and budget allocations align with your long-term operational goals.

Subject Matter Expert Advisory

As the world’s leading proton therapy architects, we guide your decisions with experience that saves time, money, and prevents costly mistakes.

Decomissioning & Dismantling

We extract and replace massive proton equipment during facility upgrades, managing the logistics of removing hundred-ton systems through precisely planned access routes.

Feasibility Studies

We analyze your site conditions, financial parameters, and operational requirements to determine whether your proton therapy center vision is buildable and sustainable.
