LAVAYSSIERE reinforced enclosures: securing your equipment and operators
In high-risk industrial sectors—whether radiological, electromagnetic or chemical—operator safety and equipment protection are essential.
With this objective in mind, LAVAYSSIERE, a company of the MAVENTIS Group, develops custom reinforced enclosures to meet the highest safety requirements in sensitive sectors such as nuclear, medical, defence, research, energy and precision industry.
What is shielded enclosure ?
Reinforced enclosures or containment systems are protective housings or guards designed to encapsulate or isolate equipment, intervention areas or sensitive installations.
Depending on the nature of the risks involved, several solutions can be integrated into our enclosures:
- Ballistic and mechanical shielding. It protects against fragments, projections, tool breakage and debris generated by high-impact industrial processes.
- Lead shielding. Essential for radiation protection, it limits exposure to ionising radiation, particularly in nuclear, hospital and research environments.
- Electromagnetic shielding (EMC) Integration of special materials (magnetic sheet metal, mild steel) or the design of Faraday cages to eliminate electromagnetic interference harmful to sensors, PLCs or measurement systems.
- Laser shielding enclosure Design of multi-material panels to contain laser emissions in high-precision sectors.
Our enclosures take the form of housings, enclosures, containment cells or shielded workstations, either fixed or mobile, depending on your constraints.

Why opt for shielded enclosure? What are the benefits?
The manufacture and installation of an shielded enclosure makes it possible to :
- Protect operators against radiation and electromagnetic emissions. Reduce the risks of exposure.
- Safeguarding the integrity of sensitive equipment against electromagnetic interference (measuring machines, sensors, automated systems)
- Meet the safety requirements imposed by current standards and European directives (EMC, radiation protection, machine safety, etc.).
- Facilitate maintenance operations in safe, controlled conditions.
- Enhancing the industrial image with a controlled, compliant and safe environment.
Each project requires a personalized approach and study, taking into account your various constraints in terms of access, maintenance, radiation, space and ventilation.
Shielded casing and CSR approach
Choosing reinforced enclosures for your machines and installations actively contributes to a strong CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) approach:
- Occupational health and safety: optimal employee protection, reduced accidents and occupational diseases related to exposure.
- Environmental protection: limitation of leaks, radiation or pollution associated with sensitive equipment.
- Regulatory compliance: Anticipating legal and societal obligations.
- Durability: Designed to last, shoring solutions reduce the need for replacement and intensive maintenance.
In this sense, investing in shielded enclosures means choosing social responsibility as much as industrial performance.
