Three More Reasons You Can Count On Us

Why Veritas?

Why Veritas? 100% Guaranteed Shielding Performance

Advanced shielding modules provide an optimum balance of photon and neutron protection compared to other materials. Meet stringent protection requirements through:

  • An interlocking sine-wave profile ensures effectiveness at the seams
  • Multiple density options ranging from 150 to 313 lb./cu. ft.
  • Flexible, effective shielding and treatment room design
Why Veritas?

Why Veritas? Cut Treatment Room Construction Time by 50%

Our VeriShield® solution reduces construction time for faster return on investment and enables you to allocate more time to treatment. Here’s why:

  • Simple construction—no forms, curing time or onsite material QC requirements
  • Rooms can be constructed in as little as one week using VPAC® shielding packs
Why Veritas?

Why Veritas? Save Highly Valuable Hospital Space

The significant attenuation levels provided by VeriShield® solutions greatly reduce the amount of shielding necessary to attain desired protection levels, thereby

  • Requiring significantly less space than concrete vaults
  • Allowing therapy facilities to be built within a single-floor level
  • Enabling dramatic space savings that can be allocated to more useful purposes
