1. L.A. Lopez Hernandez Route Goward and Septum 16 shielding increase LS1 Committee - 21 st - 20 September 2013

2. The shieIding increase of the PS over Route Goward passage and over Straight Section 16 was proposed by RP, recommended by the PSRWG, presented at the IEFC and endorsed by the management The cost of the intervention has been included in the PS ‐ LIU budget

3. RP presentation from 59th IEFC (S. Damjanovic) The extra-concrete shielding required following HSE recommendations was ~ + 180 cms. Route Goward

4. Proposed solution: Concrete slab 2 m thick Piling wall protecting the tunnel from the load of the road

5. Works carried out: -Earthworks -Temporary road to give limited access to the center of the ring during the construction works -Piles -Concrete slab 2 m thick -New road ~ 100 m long, including retaining walls, backfilling, modification of the existing networks, etc Schedule: Currently: -Road open -Works finished on schedule

6. Temporary road Retaining wall Piling works Some pictures of the works:

9. RP presentation from 61 st IEFC (S. Damjanovic) The extra-concrete shielding required following HSE recommendations has been converted in earth shielding New max ground level: 442.6 m (means between +1.2 and +3.4 m over the existing level) Straight Section 16

10. Requested: - Additionnal depth of earth of between 1.2m and 3.4m depending of the area Constraints: -Existing structures not strong enough to take the additional load -Area with a very complex geometry (PS, Linac 2&3, Leir, TT2,..) -Works must have no influence or impact on the existing structures

11. Feasibility studies:

12. Proposed solution : -A new load-bearing structure taking the weight of the additional earth and redirecting it into the bedrock underneath. -The structure consists of a 1.10 m thick reinforced concrete slab and the additional depth of backfill will be placed directly on the slab. -The slab rests on drilled piles, or secant piles in areas subject to particularly heavy loads -In the places where the existing tunnels are made of large masses of concrete, the slab rests on intermittent supports on the tunnel roof

13. Bird’s eye view of the new slab:

14. -To protect the existing structures, the transfer slab must guarantee that even after long-term deformation the load-bearing relief structure does not under any circumstances come to rest on the existing structures. -To this end, the slab will rest on a biodegradable honeycomb cardboard formwork that can be dissolved with water. This procedure guarantees that, once water has been injected to dissolve the cardboard, a void of 10 cm remains after concreting, which is more than enough to allow for the long-term deformation of the slab

15. Biocofra:

16. Slab deformation: 51 mm 56 mm

17. Schedule Currently: -Piles finished -Concreting works starting

18. Worksite installations : Parking route Goward shared with CV Concrete batching plant Temporary spoil dump Access to building 561 (RP) «Passage pieton» closed

19. Monitoring of the existing structures -Photographic survey of the structures -Camera inspection of the drains ~ 300m -Vibration measurements during piling works LS1 Committee - 21st L.A. Lopez Hernandez19 - Maximum particle velocity for historical buildings < 2 mm / s - Max value recorded: 1.19 mm/s on sensor 2 - 3D modeling of the (shielding + existing structures +ground) for prediction of displacements
