Scalable Multi-Site Programs  

Radiopharmaceutical manufacturing is scaling quickly, and capacity cannot be solved one facility at a time. Many companies need to expand across multiple sites simultaneously to meet demand and secure access to critical markets. We are structured to support that growth. Our team can plan and deliver multi-site programs in parallel, applying consistent design standards, coordinating procurement, and maintaining schedule across locations so clients can scale efficiently without sacrificing quality or compliance.

Faster Production Startups  

Speed in radiopharmaceutical manufacturing is directly tied to patient treatment timelines, where delays in bringing new capacity online can disrupt supply and limit access to time-sensitive therapies. We meet these demands because we're structured to move quickly. Our integrated approach brings design, engineering, and construction together as one team, improving coordination, speeding early decisions, and compressing schedules.

Compliance-Ready Environments  

Compliance in radiopharmaceutical facilities directly determines whether product can be manufactured, released, and delivered to patients. Requirements tied to PET (212), therapeutics (211), and Annex 1 drive how these environments are designed and operated, from material flow and air classifications to documentation and quality controls. With a nationwide portfolio of projects and 75%+ repeat clients, we bring requirements into design and construction early, aligning layout, systems, and sequencing so facilities move through validation efficiently and reach qualification without unnecessary delays.

sample project experience

We’ve delivered radiopharmaceutical facilities in seismic zones across California, high-humidity environments in Florida, and dense urban sites like Chicago, each with different constraints around structure, shielding, and system performance. Below is a sample of our recent work.

Radiopharmaceutical Construction: Our Approach

Radiopharmaceutical developers are moving quickly to bring new diagnostic and therapeutic capacity online, and these facilities are unique in that they don’t operate like traditional pharma or biotech companies. GMP requirements still apply, but shielding, hot cells, airflow, utilities, and workflow in a radioactive environment change how these buildings need to be designed and built. Early decisions directly affect radiation protection, material flow, validation, and startup.

So, what does this mean for design and construction? It means the critical decisions happen early. Equipment layout, shielding, and workflow are worked through upfront with vendors, and that becomes the basis for structure, MEP systems, and cleanroom design. That’s where our process is different. And once equipment layout, shielding, and workflow are defined, we use that as the working baseline for the entire project.

Our team coordinates directly with equipment vendors, shielding designers, and trade partners to lock in hot cell placement, vault construction, access, and maintenance clearances early. That coordination drives structural framing, embeds, and penetrations, along with duct routing, pressure relationships, and utility distribution tied to the process. We also build the construction sequence around how the facility will be installed and brought online. Long-lead equipment, shielding materials, and critical systems are planned around procurement and installation requirements so field work can progress without redesign.
