Substations, switchboards and cable trays produce electromagnetic fields which may cause interference with electrical equipment or raise concern about the potential for adverse health effects.

EMI Shielding provide a comprehensive EMF shielding service, which includes:

¢ Off-the-plan budget pricing for tenderers required to provide EMI mitigation

¢ Assistance with design solutions to reduce requirement for electromagnetic shielding

It is important for builders, tenants, electrical consultants and contractors to consider EMF shielding prior to commencing plastering and floor coverings during new constructions or refurbishments as retrofit of magnetic shielding materials can reduce the ability to shield electromagnetic fields efficiently as well as adding substantially to the cost.

Although the Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency does not currrently provide a regulatory standard for protection from EMF, the commonly accepted practice is to limit exposure to EMF's in workspaces to not more than 10mG (milligauss) and in residential areas to not more than 4mG. EMI Shielding has more than 12 years experience in this field and can design EMI shielding to suit your requirements.

Common methods of reducing the effects of EMF's found in offices and apartments are:

- consideration of potential for electromagnetic fields during building and electrical design
- relocating electrical cables to reduce electromagnetic interference within residential and office space
- increasing the distance between the source of EMF and the area to be protected
- installing electro-magnetic shielding materials on walls, floors or ceilings around the source of EMF.
