Marshield | The MarShield 360 Protection Process

The MarShield 360° Protection Process™

The MarShield 360° Protection Process™ is our unique, proven 7-step method – developed across 30 years of experience as lead radiation shielding specialists. We deliver intelligent, and complete, solutions to the most challenging radiation protection problems faced by government, institutions and industry – worldwide.

The MarShield Flexibility Factor™

The MarShield Flexibility Factor is more than the first step in our process. It underscores how we ‘live’ every aspect of our business. We’ll look at every challenge. We’re adaptable. We’re quick on the uptake. We don’t even require perfect input from you. For example, no drawings? No problem – we do that. If you can explain it, we can design, engineer and fabricate it. Our solutions are innovative, regardless of the amount of radiation shielding protection required. Simply put, The MarShield Flexibility Factor means we begin with a mindset that allows us to design and build what others cannot.

  The MarShield Different Perspective™

Over 30 years in sophisticated lead radiation protection, we have learned that rarely are two problems precisely alike. The MarShield Different Perspective underscores that MarShield comes at every project from a different perspective than other companies, in a way that brings immediate value to every customer.

While most manufacturers try to shoehorn a customer into a standard, out-of-the-catalogue product, MarShield™ instead begins every assignment by asking, “What is the specific problem you need to solve?” And then we listen very, very well. Two simple, but uncommon, traits that bring great value to developing the correct answer.

Having thus identified unique requirements, the result may be a customized solution to precisely provide ultimate protection. On the other hand, because we start from a different point, you can trust that when we recommend a standard model, this solution is guaranteed based on proven benchmarks rather than the fact it is simply in stock.

  The MarShield Tailor-Made Solution™

The MarShield Tailor-Made Solution does not necessarily mandate a customized product. It simply means that our investigative approach allows us to recommend a solution that dovetails precisely with the problem you need addressed.

This may in fact involve a customized product due to specific challenges of size, configuration, weight, amount of shielding, or any number of requirements unique to the project at hand. For example, in cabinets, we often find that while we offer a full range of standard units, there is typically a twist to many jobs that suggests a custom cabinet as the best option. The point is, with MarShield™, custom design and fabrication is never a problem.

However, MarShield™ has a large number of standard products, across a range of categories from Aprons to Cabinets to Lead Lined Doors and Windows, Lead Lined Rolling Shielding Barriers and Lead Lined Blankets and Curtains and more – perfect for multiple-unit orders. The point is this: you can rely on every MarShield™ recommendation to do the job. Period.

  The MarShield Fabrication Formula™

The MarShield Fabrication Formula is our end-to-end complete manufacturing process. Working to the approved solution, we fine-tune the design and turn the written specifications into construction drawings. Our experienced tradespeople then precisely craft the product using proven manufacturing techniques. MarShield™ brings years of fabrication experience across a range of lead-based applications. Lead lining, lead filled, cast shielding products and general purpose sheet lead shielding solutions – we build it all. At MarShield™, we have the ability to provide cutting, machining, drilling, welding, painting and finishing. We can offer hardware, custom paint finishes and colors to custom cut sizes or designs to suit the customer’s requirements. The MarShield Fabrication Formula is quite simple, really – working from a precisely defined solution, we control it all – start to finish. And this brings us to another advantage of the MarShield process – an understanding of the need for expedited timelines. Built into our fabrication process is a focus on timely delivery.

  The MarShield Inspection™

At MarShield™, given the nature of our expertise in lead-based radiation shielding, our process includes stringent quality control at every stage of design, engineering and fabrication. Beyond this, however, before a project is shipped, we conduct The MarShield Inspection, a methodical multi-point quality inspection that ensures product excellence. Our quality guarantee comes independent of budget and speedy timelines – nothing leaves our factory without The MarShield Inspection. Every product is guaranteed MarShield-Safe.

  The MarShield Shipping System™

With MarShield™, shipping is not an afterthought, but a well-planned factor in our process. As a company that has built and shipped continuous pour castings in excess of 150,000 lbs., we understand the details inherent in the delivery of heavy products – often, delivery is as challenging as fabrication, and our experience brings every customer a valuable benefit. Custom pallets or crating? We get it. Optimizing the protection? We are specialists in crating, boxing, stretch wrapping – whatever is required. And our various trucking options, from our own vehicles to a network of specialized partners, ensures that orders arrive intact, and on time. All backed by an in-house tracking system and worldwide shipping services.

  The Coordination Experience™

Throughout The MarShield 360° Protection Process, your interface with MarShield™ is easy. One person starts your project, and that same person is your personal coordinator across the process until the order leaves our facility. We’re personal, pro-active, and hands-on. With MarShield™, responsibility, accountability and seamless follow-through support every project.
