Concrete- Excessive Construction Time
- Complicated Site Preparation and Excavation
- Critical Path Construction Element - Other services must be scheduled around the concrete work
- Affected by Weather
- Radiation Attenuation Sacrifices Space and Time - Only by constructing huge structures can attenuation levels be met, taking time and using excessive amounts of material
- 28 Day Cure Times - Holds up other services
- Thousands of Tons of Rebar and Reinforcement
- Time-consuming Formwork and Stripping
- Extensive Field Testing Required
- Massive Structures - Walls up to 18 feet thick and ceilings up to 11 feet thick
- Permanent Installation - Cannot be easily modified
| Ledite - Rapid Engineering
- Faster Installation
- Off the Critical Path
- Better Radiation Attenuation - Both proton and neutron
- Dry Stacked Block
- Accelerated Depreciation - 7 years vs. 30 years
- No Curing Time
- Reduced Steel Reinforcement
- No Formwork
- Reduced Volume
- High Density - Increased Structural Strength
- Reduced Structural Loads - 50% less
- Moveable - Can be removed and reinstalled
- Single level construction
- No second floor penetration
- Save space on two levels
- 50% more space for other services
- Fastest way to reach treatment goals
- 2 weeks vs. 15 weeks construction
- Superior attenuation
- Readily available designs
- Guaranteed safe and effective
