Consultation and Assistance - Module # 6

Consultation, facilitation, and assistance in MRI Vibration Testing, Seismic Testing, Concrete Testing, Structural Engineering Certification, and Soil Compaction Testing where needed

On-Site Consulting engineer testing the vibration and Seismic considerations of a client MRI site.

In this Coaching and As Needed Consultation and Assistance Module that you can select for this Imaging Center Project area, we will discuss,

  • Assessing your MRI Imaging Project at present and review of activities taken to date.
  • Your current MRI Imaging Center site, if chosen at time of consultation. If so depending on where you are in the process, discussion of what needs to occur regarding finalization of the building and site lease? Review and provide negotiation feedback to the client on their proposed MRI Imaging Center, building site lease and gaining a possible TI allowance.
  • The process of retaining an architect, and possible Builder or Remodeling Site Contractor, and their role and timing in Assessing the ferrous metal composition in the MRI site slab, their retention and incorporation of the Vibration Testing and Seismic Testing data, as well as guidance to the Structural Engineer of Record regarding their responsibilities.
  • Choice of ground single floor building or multiple floor building? Are you thinking of a “Slab on Grade” installation or are you interested in second floor or higher installation? Provide more in depth guidance on what to be aware of and how to make either choice, as good as possible.
  • Have you assessed the area of the site location where you will site the MRI Magnet Room to determine if the probable flooring slab was built with Ferrous Rebar? Determination of the site slab, ferrous metal composition, and working with the contractor to order the concrete slab core cut and concrete re-pour.
  • Providing guidance on scheduling the Vibration and Testing Engineers, interpretation of their reports, and in the case of a failing grade on the testing, looking at the preliminary floor plan layout in order to still use the site, and retest if necessary.
  • Understanding the role and value of the Structural Engineer of record. If you have currently retained an Architect and Builder or Remodeling firm, do they have a structural engineer of record? You will want to know what they have been retained in the design and build process and we will want to make sure they can be contacted in order to provide “sign off” and structural engineering confirmation on various design build issues for the MRI vendor project engineer, in order to receive the MRI Magnet Delivery sign approval and sign off. Understanding of what that will include and why that is important.
  • Understanding the RF (Radio-frequency Testing) that will be conducted after completion of the Magnet Room RF shield.
  • Answering all questions of importance to the client, whether related to these items or other items in the MRI build out process.
