Hall Progress Summary

Shielded area in use – waiting radiation Survey– Background refinements

– SW corner blocks on order– West wall replacement blocks at RAL– Extra wall near Door, and roof, subject to survey

Buffer tank and platform installed- Linde have startedElectrical work started in earnest (containment & cabling)Triplet build-up started, baseplatesNew full time Hall managerSignificantly more technician effort

MLCR

Rack bases delivered beginning on this week.DPM for the floor completed by Friday.Network rack delivered next week.PPS rack, populated and tested delivered the week after (15th) Remaining racks the week of the 23rd.Walls delivered week of the 8th and installed by the end of the following week at the latest.Air con and power to start as soon as the walls are constructed and estimated to take three weeks so complete by 9th November.Construction of the roof to occur in parallel.Network connection to RAL site to start as soon as the racks have been Delivered. A wireless access point to be set up as soon as possible.Further wiring into the hall to follow. Too much civil still going on to start too early.

Electrical Infra-structure

Drawings for distribution design complete– Final checks in progress, issue

next weekMICE Hall cable route design including LCR complete

– Busbar trunking removed– AC supply re-used as LCR feed

Cable schedule for magnet power converters complete

– Installation plan for DC and control cables to be agreed

Specification for power converters AC distribution scheme complete

– Installation in progress– Accelerator Dipole Power

Converter requires direct feed – Budget price received

Specification for RF System AC distribution scheme complete

– Awaiting price for installing distribution board

– Installation to commence within next 2 weeks

LCR tray work design complete– Rack support frames delivered– Tray work to be installed

• Sequence of installation to be agreed

– Raised floor to be installedCryogenic Soleniod

– Compressor supply installed– Distribution Board installed– AC temporary supply agreed for

testsPhase 2 electrical requirements under review

– Detailed information for all systems required

Magnetic Shield

South Wall: Drgs completeSupport structure requote- Ready to buildMaterial identifiedPreparations to start procurement

North wall: Design being finished.Overall schedule to be prepared

MICE – platforms and baseplates

CONCEPT – PLATFORM WITH AIR SKATES CLAMPED TO BASEPLATE IN INSTALLED LOCATION. WHEN ACCESS IS REQ’D THE CLAMPS ARE RELEASED AND THE TRACKER IS FLOATED TO A PARKED POSITION.

Platform review

Design review last week:Supported mass up by 25% (7-9t)Clarification of cables esp. ‘live’

Not yet ready for productionClear issues before re-reviewing

Mechanical Services

Water- Chiller order placed last Friday?

Other services/gases– Need for detector groups to request any

required services• Compressed air line for when Linde equipment in use• Nitrogen for CKOV (bottle/gas line)?
