Shielded from the Top Down
The linear accelerator’s thick concrete ceiling protects against skyshine radiation from reflecting back down into the facility.
Coordinating logistics
While working in close proximity to a active cancer center, the project team navigated coordinating technical logistics with the owner.
Preconstruction Sets the Foundation
Preconstruction planning ensured seamless coordination of slab, walls, and systems, aligning every detail for the facility’s long-term success.
Serving the community
Once completed, the facility will serve patients in Prescott Valley, Chino Valley, and Dewey-Humboldt alongside the Prescott Cancer Center.

This Linear Accelerator (LINAC) is phase two of the newly built Prescott Cancer Center, serving patients in Prescott Valley, Chino Valley, and Dewey-Humboldt. The facility features 4-foot-thick vault walls to shield against high-energy radiation used during cancer treatment. The roof’s 6 feet of concrete prevent radiation, also known as skyshine, from scattering back down. This highly technical project navigates coordination logistics with an active cancer center. Work during preconstruction enables the field team to precisely coordinate the slab and walls with electrical and mechanical systems, ensuring alignment with the owner’s long-term use of the facility.
