M. Raymond – September 8th, 2015

After LS1, 2015 was foreseen to be a transition period.Before on going studies and design for new projects are ready for manufacturing, Technical Support has less high priorities projects than in the past years

Good opportunity to make progress in “lower priority” tasks Upgrade of the movement system

New movement machine (2nd one, for side C) Traction test bench

Support to Infrastructure and Safety Re-arrangement of B180, tent 609 Sniffer maintenance Rack cooling

BB5 preparation for nSW chambers Support to various sub-systems

Machining of accurate parts for AFP (with participation of R. Brendlen PH/DT) Fabrication of lifting beams for Tile module

Consolidation work “post LS1” on opening/closing process Scaffolding inventory

Summary of activities on 2015

M. Raymond – September 8th, 2015

Storage organization : B180

Activity supervised by Raphael, performed by TC technical team + EN/HE

B180 in fall 2014

B180 in June 2015

M. Raymond – September 8th, 2015

Storage organization : B609

Shelves installation done during LS1 under Philippe’s supervision.

From beginning of the 2015, a huge effort has been done to sort equipment and pallets, to organize the storage and keep the DB up to date

Effort has started on August to sort and clean up the left side.

Work supervised by Didier in collaboration with EN/HE

M. Raymond – September 8th, 2015

Hydraulic development

AMM for side C Assembly of components : done Switchboard integration and cabling : done Commissioning and tuning : in progress

Test bench Operational since August 18th

Load capacity up to 225 tons Preliminary test performed on

friction pads (110 tons) Study to be continued on two

axis : assessment of friction pads + Airpads optimization

M. Raymond – September 8th, 2015

Distribution of 2015 activities

Plot is based on identified time 94% of weekly action list 65% of full calendar time

M. Raymond – September 8th, 2015

Goals for the next 6 months (2015-2016)

From now to end of November 2015 : A few fabrications

Support frames from JFC platform Modification of the 2nd JD lifting frame

Installation of USA15 shielding must be prepared 2nd Atlas Movement Machine (AMM) must be completed

Machine : commissioning on going Truck piping : on going

Re-arrangement of the tent 609 should be completed Test bench for movement system (B180) must be used

1. To choose which movement system for nSW 2. To optimize air pads

Preparation of Yearly Technical Stop (YETS) Preparation of B180 clean room for sTGC

M. Raymond – September 8th, 2015

Goals for the next 6 months (2015-2016)

Yearly Technical Stop (YETS) : from Dec. 14th to March 4th Opening of Barrel area : not yet decided, depends on request from Systems USA15 shielding installation (mechanics)

Filling with water : only if possible without risk Sniffer maintenance (all ATLAS : 15/01 to end Feb.)

Later on (starting in 2016) Support to JD fabrication and equipment JD+SW lifting and transport frame Mock-up for ITK Tooling for BMG Prototyping,…

Work organization during opening

A schedule has been prepared in case of opening during Winter technical stop.

Baseline of work is 5 days/week, Monday to Friday, 2 teams working in staggered hours in order to cover 15.5 hours/day

5:00 to 13:00 and 12:30 to 20:30 on 1st week of opening only Monday to Friday, 2 teams working in normal hours in parallel on both sides

8:30 to 12:30 and 13:30 to 17:30 for about 2 weeks Work on Saturday is exceptional and on a normal hours basis. Extra hours will be required… be prepared !

Work start on Dec. 14th and goes until Dec. 24th included : this is the worst scenario in case long access is needed to detectors.

Using the 2 AMMs in parallel limits the interest of staggered hours, but the usual rigorous organization will be kept.

A very good coordination with RSO and RPE is needed, the RPE should be looked at as being fully part of the team so that they know when their intervention is required.

Safety shifts will be organized too

Good communication is also required. A web page summarizes the main information

Daily meeting is organized where activities are checked and discussed

M. Raymond – September 8th, 2015

Time schedule for opening option

3 weeks for opening

4 weeks maxi on calorimeters

4 weeks for closing and detector positioning
