  4. LS1 : Cabling activities • Part1: status of the accelerator infrastructure (why we need to consolidate) • Overloaded cabling areas • Irradiated cabling areas D. Ricci – Cabling activities during LS1 – IEFC workshop

  5. Status of the accelerator infrastructure • SPS was put in service in 1976 (36 years old) • So far, cables for new systems were just “added” • Irradiated cable replacement campaigns carried on regularly since 20 years • PS was put in service in 1959 (53 years old) • Only one cleaning campaign carried on in 1995-2000 • 600 km of cables removed in PS and PSB • No irradiated cable replacement • Rest of PS-complex and Meyrin technical galleries • Till now, cables were just “added” for new machine systems and general CERN infrastructure • All cables installed before ’80s are with halogens (risk in case of fire accidents) D. Ricci – Cabling activities during LS1 – IEFC workshop

  6. Overloaded areas: SPS BA3 false floor TS5 et ECX5

  7. Overloaded areas: SPS • Overloaded cable trays do not allow pulling cables in the proper technical way • This situation is general for SPS • In some cases, cables cannot be installed anymore Shafts Galleries D. Ricci – Cabling activities during LS1 – IEFC workshop

  8. Overloaded areas: PS-complex and Meyrin site PS ring centre Tunnel TT2 Gallery TP9 Intersection Linac2-Linac4-PSB D. Ricci – Cabling activities during LS1 – IEFC workshop

  11. Overloaded areas: PS-complex and Meyrin site B361 Bld. 2001 Tunnel TT2 Gallery TP9 B354 D. Ricci – Cabling activities during LS1 – IEFC workshop

  12. Maintenance of the accelerator infrastructure • Consolidation (clean-up) activities: • With the help of users’ groups: • List of unused cables • Identify unused cables on site • Disconnect unused cables from their equipment • Remove unused cables D. Ricci – Cabling activities during LS1 – IEFC workshop

  13. Maintenance of the accelerator infrastructure: replacement of SPS irradiated cables Total cables concerned: 6300 Total length: 630 km (~12% of the total) TS2: 1400 TS1: 1200 BA6: 2100 TDC2-TCC2: 800 TS4: 800 North Area: TCC2, TDC2 BA2: TS2 BA4: TS4 BA1: TS1 BA6: TS6, TCC6, TT60, TT61, TNC D. Ricci – Cabling activities during LS1 – IEFC workshop

  14. Maintenance of the accelerator infrastructure: replacement of irradiated cables • SPS: regular replacement carried on until 2009 TCT: Top cable tray, AA: Almost All, R: Rest, Part: Partial. 1 complete SPS point every shutdown Replacement foreseen every 5/6 years is today every ~10 years D. Ricci – Cabling activities during LS1 – IEFC workshop

  15. Maintenance of the accelerator infrastructure: replacement of SPS irradiated cables SPS TS1, TS6

  16. Maintenance of the accelerator infrastructure: replacement of SPS irradiated cables • Cable ageing + radiation can cause failure of SPS equipment and could stop the machine • Replacement is organized by campaigns. Not possible selective replacement of one/few cables: • Cables entangled • Risk of damaging the other cables • High dose level taken by workers • Irradiated cable areas are also overloaded  the consolidation (clean-up) benefits also the irradiated areas and viceversa D. Ricci – Cabling activities during LS1 – IEFC workshop

  17. Maintenance of the accelerator infrastructure: replacement of radiation-sensitive fibres • July 2011 @ LHC-P7 • found rad-sensitive optical cable • contingent problem solved (new cable installation) • started measurement campaign in all LHC & SPS radiation areas Affected area: ~200 m • Measurement and replacement campaigns • Rad-sensitive fibres found so far in P1, P5, P7 • Strategy: • install new spare cables (in Xmas break + LS1) • replace rad-sensitive cables (LSI) • continue monitoring + fiber database (2012 + LS1)  New procedure = Quality Control D. Ricci – Cabling activities during LS1 – IEFC workshop

  18. LS1 : Cabling activities • Part 2: activities foreseen for LS1 • Consolidation projects • Requests from equipment groups D. Ricci – Cabling activities during LS1 – IEFC workshop

Ricci – Cabling activities during LS1 – IEFC workshop

  27. Requests from equipment groups A large amount of user requests have already been made filling much more than 100% of our capacity during LS1. Moreover based on the last shutdown, we estimate that only 50% of the requests for LS1 are currently known. Some examples: • R2E; relocation of EL equipment and re-cabling in 4 LHC points • PS Access system (PSS) • Linac4 and Transfer line to Linac2 • RF upgrade project in SPS BA3 • the BE/BI upgrade projects, IT upgrade projects, HIE Isolde, Elena, Video SPS, RF fire brigade, GSM-BTS, DAQ system for CMS and LHCb, etc. D. Ricci – Cabling activities during LS1 – IEFC workshop

  28. Requests from equipment groups: relocation of EL equipment and re-cabling in 4 LHC points. R2E • Huge amount of cabling relocation activities • Work in 2 shifts • New WCC for P5 and P1 • 5 MCHF • 10 FTE • 2013-2014 D. Ricci – Cabling activities during LS1 – IEFC workshop

  30. The day-to-day business • Roughly 2200 cables/year are installed on the three main sites: LHC, SPS, PS (~80 cabling requests per site) • This includes: • Treatment of DIC and DIF (Demandes Installation Cables et Fibres) • Technical study (cable trays, routing, termination, planning, cost, etc.) • Material procurement (price enquiries, invitation to tenders, etc.) • Installation works (managing contractors, etc.) • Work surveillance • Acceptance and quantity check • Day-to-day business includes also: • Section and coordination • Contract management • People training • Etc. D. Ricci – Cabling activities during LS1 – IEFC workshop

  31. LS1 : Cabling activities • Part 3: resources and priorities D. Ricci – Cabling activities during LS1 – IEFC workshop

  32. Strategy & workload • In order to cope with the huge program of work during LS1, all CF projects have been organised so that • they could start during the technical stops in 2011/2012 and • ideally, only those activities which must take place during a full shutdown are carried out during LS1. • Therefore the CF program for the shutdown has already commenced (2011) • EL-CF had already doubled its staff in the last 3 years. This substantial increase of has now reached the limit of the training and supervision capacity of the CF core staff  Projects have to be prioritized D. Ricci – Cabling activities during LS1 – IEFC workshop

  33. Projects & Priorities D. Ricci – Cabling activities during LS1 – IEFC workshop

  34. Summary & conclusions • Huge amount of work for CF before and during LS1 • Project preparation started already (works are anticipated during TSs) • Cabling and fibre activities are strongly dependent from other groups • We need your help to cope with everything: • Users: • continue helping with the identification of unused cables • present your cabling/fibres requests now (for organizing the activity: resources, plannning, purchase of material) • Planning coordination: • SPS, PS: anticipate as much as possible the communication of the access constraints, drive and organize activities with other services/groups • Machine coordination: • what do we do with old systems (e.g. Intercom Public Access in SPS)? • RP: • estimate doses, remove “hot” equipment, etc. (see slide 21) • Management: • help us to set priorities (now…) • Project leaders: • start to take into account the cable removal in the new projects in order to avoid these situation to repeat in the future D.

Ricci – Cabling activities during LS1 – IEFC workshop

  38. Cleaning up SPS-P5 How is it possible to arrive to this situation in pt5? 1: No huge campaign for removal of old cables since the SPS’ installation in the BA5 and in the tunnel. 2: The installation of a new system doesn’t includes the removing of the previous one. 3: The duration of the Shutdowns doesn’t preview the huge removal of the old system. • Now is not possible to pull (install) new cables in the tunnel of Point 5. • Now is the time to foreseen a cleaning cable campaign ! D. Ricci – Cabling activities during LS1 – IEFC workshop

  39. Cleaning up SPS-P5 Summary: • For some users we are still missing a reply • For other important users we strongly recommend a research in the field • It seems many cables are very old and not known by the users. However, it is clear to which system they belongs  requires system owners to understand “what it is” • In the great majority of cases the users think “What are the cables which I do not need anymore in the existing system?”, they should instead think “I have a system with a lot of cables. How could I improve my system in order to reduce the number of cables? Which cables can I remove then considering these improvements?” • Example: a lot of cables affected to “Intercom Public Address” (Intercom station only). Do we need to keep it in use like it is? Can it be replaced by portable telephones like in LHC? From IEFC meeting 27th Jan 2012 D. Ricci – Cabling activities during LS1 – IEFC workshop
