Case Study

Proton Beam Therapy installation in Spain

Beck & Pollitzer successfully completed the groundbreaking installation of a proton beam therapy system in Madrid, Spain. This landmark project, executed for a global healthcare giant, marked the first of its kind to be installed in Europe for the client, pioneering advanced treatment capabilities in the region.

The complex installation spanned three critical areas: the Gantry Room, Accelerator Room, and Electrical Room. Our specialized team orchestrated the precise handling and positioning of over 220 tons of highly sensitive medical equipment, a feat that demanded exceptional technical expertise and surgical precision.

The most challenging aspect involved coordinating 400-ton cranes to transport equipment through the building’s roof opening, the only viable access route for machinery of this scale and sensitivity.

Technical excellence – Beck & Pollitzer delivered complete turnkey installation services, including:

Millimetre-perfect alignment and positioning of all therapeutic equipment
Comprehensive mechanical, electrical, and instrumentation integration
Installation of over 40km of specialized cabling systems
Full commissioning support to ensure optimal system performance

The ultra-sensitive nature of proton beam technology demanded unwavering precision at every stage, with our team maintaining the exacting tolerances required for life-saving medical applications.
