The FMS Advantage
FMS is a unique EMF/EMI/RFI/HEMP solution provider, known for our consultative and collaborative approach, providing creative and cost effective mitigation designs with 100% on-time planning and on-budget installations, and above all, a 100% record of meeting performance specifications.
FMS achieves effective EMF/EMI/RFI mitigation through creative and restrained use of technologies, many of which are low-tech and inexpensive. FMS holds US patents for shielding magnetic fields, and has pioneered innovation in EMI processes and materials.
For Example:
- FMS was the first to introduce low-cost, high performance aluminum shielding for Electromagnetic Interference mitigation
- After an extensive EMI threat risk assessment for a major research lab project, FMS recommended changes to a prior mitigation design, which resulted in more than $500K savings
- FMS’ recommendation to eliminate excessive shielding previously recommended to a commercial office building, reduced overall project cost by $250K
- During the design phase of a research laboratory, FMS’ simulation studies demonstrated that the magnetic field environment could be significantly reduced by relatively minor changes in conduit routing, thereby eliminating shielding in some areas and significantly reducing shielding in others
- FMS, acting as Consultant and Project Manager for a research laboratory, eliminated the huge, unacceptable cost of shielding a group of cryo-magnets (up to 14 Tesla) by redesigning the magnets, with supplementary consultation with the magnetic manufacturer. The DC magnetic fringe field levels were reduced from 5,000 mG to <1 mG, saving the customer an estimated $26 million in shielding.
The FMS Advantage is our clients’ advantage. We collaborate with clients to engineer the best performing spaces for their purpose. We listen. As a result, we provide the lowest cost effective mitigation solution options, presented in a context which reflects our clients’ decisions on options best suited to their situation and project budget.
Recent Projects
FMS as the EMF/EMI Consultant designed and installed the passive and active mitigation systems for this newly established interdisciplinary organization under the Office of Research of the University of California Irvine (UCI) to house state of the art electron-microscope labs (4 imaging cells). The project required analysis of interference potential of all internal and external emission sources, which included vehicle and facility elevators (DC), broadband electrical system (AC) sources, etc.
FMS was engaged as the project’s EMI Consultant by the project architect (Wilson Architects) to conduct an electromagnetic field (EMF) analysis in an existing laboratory (shell space) located in the basement level of the Harvard CNS facility.
Seattle Children’s Research Institute is currently in the construction phase of ”Building Cure”, a 540,000 square foot research building, which will be dedicated to developing therapies for children with diseases such as Cancer, Type 1 Diabetes and Sickle Cell Anemia.
FMS was engaged to conduct a thorough assessment of the building’s design for EMI interference threat concerns to sensitive research equipment. A document review and extensive 3-Dimension computer simulation studies were conducted to evaluate EMF emissions from the building’s electrical distribution, mechanical and other systems.
Over its 20 years, FMS has successfully completed hundreds of EMI projects which included a diverse range of consulting and mitigation services.
