EMI Threat Risk Assessment

This 235,000 GSF “Neuroscience Laboratory & Clinical Research Building” scheduled for completion in 2011 on the University of California San Francisco campus will house laboratories and clinical research space to support 100 clinical researchers engaged in the University’s Program for Neurologic Disease Research. SOM, the project’s architect, engaged FMS to conduct a thorough EMI threat risk assessment of the proposed building site and to review the building’s design documents to ensure that neither existing EMF conditions or potential EMF sources in the building would present an interference risk to a variety of advanced, sensitive research equipment planned for use in the building.

FMS provided the project’s design and construction teams with critical information to materially reduce EMI mitigation expense for building and its planned site while ensuring optimum operating conditions for sensitive equipment planned for use in the building without risk of expensive and disruptive post construction mitigation measures.
