1. B. 163 facility upgrade: work space options in B. 163 and B. 103 F
B.163 facility upgrade: work space options in B.163 and B F. Formenti – March 18th, 2016

2. Outline
Space consolidation in B.163
Space consolidation in B.103

3. Space consolidation in B.163: today situation
Small stations #1 to #4
Fresca 1 & 2
Existing
sample
preparation
area
Install up to +6 ovens
Existing sample preparation area
Reminder on main equipment usage:
Four small stations operated in parallel for wire tests (average of 12 tests / week)
New Fresca 2 for high field cable qualification tests (average of 2 tests / month)
Installation of additional Nb3Sn ovens for cable production qualification
Space needs:
Provide space for small stations sample preparation
Provide space for both Fresca 1 & 2 sample preparation
Provide space for the new ovens

4. Space consolidation in B.163: make use of vertical space
Recently repositioned
Build a mezzanine (~ 22 x 8.4 ≈ 185 m2) to free space at ground floor
Install Nb3Sn ovens and
new control room on top of mezzanine
Integrated solution for all B163 space problems
Minimized interference with cable production activities

5. Mezzanine in B.163 Preliminary cost estimation
Metallic structure with control room
162 k€ (178 kchf)
Power for 6 ovens
53 kchf
Lights ground floor, 230V and lights in control room
12 kchf
Re-cabling Fresca controls, IT & PTT cabling in control room
52 kchf

≈ 5 kchf
Remove existing control room
≈ 0 kchf
TOTAL
300 kchf

6. Space consolidation in B.103: today situation
Spool preparation
Cable inspection bench
QA laboratories
Storage
Aims:
Regroup cableuse and winding machine in same area
Provide enough local storage for production cycles
Delimit working zones and keep clear passageways
Improve margins of area for production flow

7. Space consolidation in B.103: building extension proposal
