Procurement and manpower for service installation

1. Procurement and manpower for service installation Services readiness dates Planning for type ii/iii Fibre installation dates PS installation plan Readout installation plan – covered by Janet PS and ROD mapping Pippa Wells

2. Where to find information? • Installation WP document https://edms.cern.ch/document/499680/1 • Tuesday mornings, CRM (control room management) meetings https://edms.cern.ch/document/526887/1 • (Pamela Ferrari, Sandra Ciocio attend for ID). • Any installation in racks in US(A)15 should be discussed here • Wednesday mornings ID/TC installation meeting https://edms.cern.ch/document/462288/1 • Numerous ID representatives • Focussing on services installation so far. • New schedule v.7.09 – talks by Miikka Kotamaki in the last TMB http://agenda.cern.ch/fullAgenda.php?ida=a055703 • Schedule is now under scrutiny • Safety course • Level 4 course mentioned in the bulletin is for LHC machine experts only – not for work in ATLAS • Safety course in English is now available every day in Building 55 Pippa Wells

3. Timescales for services - NEW • Type IV installation complete on US side. USA just starting. Will drop to lower priority when type II/II cable installation begins. • 2 November – barrel calorimeter moves to z=0 (this is an additional delay since the last TMB) • Sequence in a sector is: • Tubes, fibres, heater cables, SCT cables, (Muon chambers), • TRT cables, pixel cables Pippa Wells

4. Organisation for type II/III services • New organisational effort to work out detailed installation strategy • Management team being established • Nicolas Massol (TC - coordinator), Sigi Wenig • Marek Stodulski (leaving), Jack Fowler (part time), Stefan Valker, Hans Danielsson • Technical follow up from Marco Olcese (based in Genova and commuting to CERN from Nov 05) • Installation teams • Cables at PPB/F1: Need experienced people from the subsystems to make connections at PPB/F1 • Cables over cryostat flange: 8 people from Prague • Cables from tile gaps outwards: TC installation team of Russians (already in place) • Tubes on flange: current installation team • Design work on flange should not be the bottleneck: plan to finish by end of the year Pippa Wells

5. List of SCT cables in sector 3 • To be extracted from services inventory by Sigi Wenig… Pippa Wells

6. Planning for type II/III power cables • Type II/III service installation is supposed to start on 15th December in sector 3 • Company are at present making double length harnesses with type II cable and connectors on both ends. Saverio will work on QA. • We need cable trays to be in place to measure lengths of type II/III harnesses with trial cables • Company will then take 2-3 weeks to make harnesses • We must supply tables of lengths, connectors (not yet delivered to CERN), labels (final scheme being worked out) • Include a few spares for instant replacements (and maybe even try to install a few?????) Pippa Wells

7. (dummy) PPB1 and PPF1 • PPB1 mechanics and dPPB1 boards seem to be under control • Test of dPPB1 prototype was made in the pit • A few pieces (clamps) need to be remade • PPF1 mechanics - needs some attention • Agreed in Engineering meeting in NIKHEF to redesign the cable clamp to avoid deforming cables • The clamp is supported from the cryostat and is sufficient to locate the type II cable in the correct position • The mechanics to support the dPPF1 PCBs is NOT available (either not yet made or in use at Liverpool/NIKHEF) • dPPF1 boards should be fabricated on time – need to find a way to support them Pippa Wells

8. Fibres • First fibres to be installed 15 December • Boxes of data fibres should have been delivered yesterday to Bat 188-1-001 • Space there to sort out all boxes, get fibres in sequence for installation, do inventory… • Tony strongly resists any testing to avoid spoiling the heavy duty rigging we paid for • Need to verify that we understand connectivity/labels in enough detail. • FSI fibre drums are still in Bat 226. Urgently need a person to take charge of planning • Where to cut them to length? • Are all the steps for pulling/stripping/splicing sufficiently understood • Make labels Pippa Wells

9. Mapping • A lot of discussion recently about power supply mapping • DCS and other experts are fully informed of the results of the mapping – some implications for interlock complexity. • Barrel crates not mixed with end cap crates • Some end cap crates mix EC-A and EC-C – but cooling circuits (quadrants) collected in the same crate Pippa Wells

10. Cables between racks in US(A)15 • We are collecting a list of services needed between racks in US and USA15 • These must be put into the cable DB and given to Sergei Malyukov to book slots in cable trays and find out lengths • Marco Olcese does not want to add them to the ID services inventory Pippa Wells

11. Conclusions • Dates for installation of first type II/III cables are known • Urgent need to identify skilled people to do connections at PP1 without depleting SR1 team • Logistics of type II/III power cables will be “interesting” • Need to improve plans for dPPF1 for power cables • Planning for fibres (especially FSI) needs to be improved • Have to go through the list of other cables and verify that all is going to be “in time” Pippa Wells
