Customized high-performance radiation shielding and optimization software
Becq is a materials engineering company that designs, manufactures, and installs high-performance radiation shielding. It specializes in customizing shielding materials to unique design constraints, serving sectors such as nuclear, defense, space, and research laboratories. The practice utilizes proprietary software to optimize shielding for factors like temperature resistance, dose rate, weight, and volume constraints.
Provides constraint-based customization of shielding materials using numerical models to minimize dose, weight, volume, or cost.
Analyzes specific inputs such as operating temperature, weight restrictions, geometric configurations, and dose limits to establish design boundaries.
Determines the optimal material thickness, layer sequencing, and physical form to achieve the lowest dose per unit weight or volume.
Fabricates high-performance radiation shielding products in multiple forms including pourable kits, pre-formed parts, and shielded containers.
Supplies lightweight, high-hydrogen materials and high-temperature formulations that retain hydrogen content under operational heat.
Manufactures composite materials engineered for neutron and gamma absorption at extreme operating temperatures up to 1200 degrees Fahrenheit.
Produces low-density flexible sheets or transparent clear shields containing hydrogen and boron for specialized viewing and installation needs.
Offers a proprietary digital platform that streamlines the design process by processing thousands of material customizations against design inputs.
Performs rigorous physical and radiological evaluations to verify that customized shielding performance meets exact design requirements.
