University Of Saskatchewan Cyclotron Completed

Ultraray Medical Products Inc. is proud to have helped construct the University of Saskatchewan cyclotron. Ultraray worked closely with PCL construction and Advanced Cyclotron Systems Inc to find the best shielding solution for the solid transfer line and Hotcell drain trench.

During the course of several months, Ultraray put forward numerous designs and re-draws for the lead lining of approximately 25 feet of the solid transfer line as it makes its way from the Cyclotron to the Hotcell for processing. The design was inclusive of the ceiling mounted structure that supports the lead, the cast bricks that surround the transfer line, the custom machined plates that encapsulate the 90 degree sweeps, and a fabricated 3” thick lead access door. Ultraray worked countless hours with PCL on dimensions and pathways to ensure there would be no issue at the time of install. The designed system was completely built and mocked up at Ultraray’s Oakville facility and quality controlled prior to delivery.

Ultraray worked around the demanding schedule of the project as well as the multiple trades that needed to perform work and tests in between portions of our install. In order to facilitate a smooth install Ultraray made two separate trips to Saskatoon at one month intervals.

We are pleased to see the hard work and effort of all involved now coming to fruition as the facility prepares to open. We are honored to have played a small yet vital role in such a project. We look forward to the next opportunity to be involved in ground breaking nuclear medicine technology that will benefit Canada and aid in the ongoing battle against disease.
