Electromagnetic Fields: Impact on Your Building Program & How to Manage It

Here Simon Durrell, LCMB’s Project Manager talks about a recent experience with National Rail (Network Rail) and EMF.

An electromagnetic field (EMF) is a physical field produced by electrically charged objects. It consists of both an electric field (created by voltage) and a magnetic field (generated by current flow). EMFs are present everywhere in our environment, from natural sources like the Earth’s magnetic field to man-made sources such as power lines, electrical wiring, and electronic devices.

🏢 👷‍♂️ In the context of building programs, EMFs can impact sensitive equipment, interfere with communication systems, and even pose health concerns if not properly managed. Understanding and mitigating EMF exposure is crucial in construction planning, especially in hospitals, data centres, and research facilities.

LCMB provides building and estate project management services for new buildings, modernisation of existing buildings and management of ongoing estate projects.
