# LINAC decommissioning and relocation. > Technical scope for Varian and Elekta LINAC deinstallation, transport preparation and reinstallation. Explore project records and request a quotation. Language: en [HTML page](https://rftechnic.com/en/relocation) Service Discuss Varian or Elekta LINAC deinstallation, transport preparation and separately agreed reinstallation with RF Teknik Medikal. The equipment, both sites and the required handover define the scope. About the service ## LINAC relocation with RF Teknik Medikal RF Teknik Medikal provides technical services for radiotherapy LINAC deinstallation, relocation and reinstallation. The quotation defines the equipment model, conditions at both sites and the tasks assigned to RF and other teams. ### On-site dismantling Define on-site dismantling, the component inventory and the handover required before transport. ### Packing & safe transport Packing, handling and transport responsibilities are agreed for the equipment and route. ### Reinstallation Assembly, connections and testing at the destination need a separate scope; clinical release remains with the responsible facility professionals. ### Written scope from deinstallation to reinstallation Define RF Teknik Medikal’s tasks and handovers with other teams when requesting a quotation: 1. On-site dismantling 2. Packing, crating & boxing 3. Secured transportation 4. Reinstallation & testing Quotation scope ## Define the LINAC relocation scope. A deinstallation-only enquiry differs from a move that includes reassembly at a second site. Specify the handover required at each stage. Deinstallation and packing **Information to share**Varian or Elekta model, current site, access conditions and removal schedule. **Confirm in the quotation**The dismantling handover, component inventory and packing; responsibilities for radiation protection and any waste work. Transport between sites **Information to share**Origin, destination, loading access and target schedule. **Confirm in the quotation**Who arranges lifting, loading, transport, insurance and any cross-border requirements. Reinstallation at the destination **Information to share**Destination room readiness, equipment records and requested reassembly work. **Confirm in the quotation**Separate assembly, connection, testing and acceptance deliverables; the relevant facility professionals decide on return to clinical use. Published project scope ## Completed decommissioning scope for Varian and Elekta systems. These project records show the work undertaken and the status described in each update. The scope of a new enquiry is assessed separately using equipment and site information. ### Bobigny: Elekta Synergy decommissioning The Bobigny – IRHE project includes beam system shutdown, gantry and MLC dismantling, kV/XVI deactivation and preparation for transport. The gallery records dismantling, packing and crane loading.

The record documents decommissioning at that site; it does not establish completed reinstallation at a destination site. [Lyon Sud: Varian TrueBeam LINAC Decommissioning](https://rftechnic.com/en/projects/lyon-sud-varian-truebeam-demontaj) Move and reinstallation ## Plan the whole move, not only the transport RF Teknik Medikal provides technical services for radiotherapy LINAC deinstallation, relocation and reinstallation. The quotation defines the equipment model, conditions at both sites and the tasks assigned to RF and other teams. ### Scope and first steps How does a LINAC relocation start? First document the device, its current condition, the destination and the teams responsible for each stage. A site review identifies access, lifting and infrastructure constraints. Is transport the same as relocation? No. Transport is one part of the move. The project plan also needs to cover controlled deinstallation, packing/handling, destination readiness, reinstallation and the agreed testing path. What work can RF Teknik Medikal undertake in a LINAC relocation? Discuss the requested deinstallation, packing, handling and transport coordination, destination readiness, reinstallation and agreed technical checks. The quotation and contract distinguish RF’s tasks from those assigned to the hospital, carrier, manufacturer and other teams. ### Delivery and responsibilities What can delay reinstallation? Common planning risks include access restrictions, unfinished room work, unclear handovers and missing equipment information. The specific risks should be recorded for the project rather than assumed from a generic checklist. What information is needed to move a Varian or Elekta LINAC? Provide the manufacturer and exact model, current equipment condition, origin and destination sites, access constraints and requested work stages. Review the model’s service documentation, necessary manufacturer coordination and authorised parties’ responsibilities before work begins. Clinical acceptance and release remain separate decisions. ### Quotation and preparation What should an enquiry include? Provide the device make/model, origin and destination, target dates, available drawings, access details and which tasks are already assigned to other parties. Which scope and responsibilities should a LINAC relocation quotation state? Ask the proposal to assign deinstallation, packing, lifting, transport, destination readiness, reinstallation and testing to named parties. State what is included in the price, which work belongs to other teams, and how changes or damage will be handled. Clinical release remains a separate decision by the responsible authorised parties. **Read the guide** [LINAC Decommissioning, Relocation and Reinstallation](https://rftechnic.com/en/blog/radyoterapi-cihazi-relokasyonu) **Related project notes** [Bobigny: Elekta Synergy LINAC Decommissioning](https://rftechnic.com/en/projects/bobigny-elekta-synergy-demontaj) [Lyon Sud: Varian TrueBeam LINAC Decommissioning](https://rftechnic.com/en/projects/lyon-sud-varian-truebeam-demontaj) [Argenteuil: Second Varian iX Silhouette LINAC Deinstallation](https://rftechnic.com/en/projects/argenteuil-ikinci-varian-ix-silhouette-demontaj) [Argenteuil, France: Varian iX Silhouette LINAC Deinstallation](https://rftechnic.com/en/projects/argenteuil-varian-ix-silhouette-demontaj) [France, Forcilles: Elekta LINAC Deinstallation](https://rftechnic.com/en/projects/forcilles-elekta-linac-demontaj) [Belgium, Saint-Luc: Elekta Infinity LINAC Deinstallation](https://rftechnic.com/en/projects/saint-luc-elekta-infinity-linac-demontaj) [France, Carcassonne: Varian LINAC Deinstallation](https://rftechnic.com/en/projects/carcassonne-varian-linac-demontaj) [France, Dijon: Deinstallation of Two Elekta LINACs](https://rftechnic.com/en/projects/dijon-elekta-linac-demontaj) [Iași, Romania: Varian iX LINAC Deinstallation](https://rftechnic.com/en/projects/iasi-varian-ix-linac-demontaj) [Bursa Uludağ: Siemens Primus and Somatom Deinstallation](https://rftechnic.com/en/projects/bursa-uludag-siemens-primus-somatom-demontaj) [Medical Park Gebze: Varian DBX Equipment Handling](https://rftechnic.com/en/projects/gebze-medicalpark-varian-dbx-tasima) [Centre Antoine Lacassagne: Tomotherapy Deinstallation](https://rftechnic.com/en/projects/fransa-lacassagne-tomotherapy-demontaj)
