3. 18 October, 2010 First LHC Splice Review - Work Organisation - F. Bertinelli 3 What activities are involved for IC work?

5. 18 October, 2010 First LHC Splice Review - Work Organisation - F. Bertinelli 5 How long will IC work take? The size of this new task compares to series production: will not require some activities (e.g. jumpers, N-line) … but will require to « undo » before « redoing » (e.g. cut welds, desolder, busbar surface machining): repair ≠ new on the good side: all magnets are in place (except if …) Resources used in IC series production: IEG (Main Contractor) ~100 workers activities were organised for 40 IC/week CERN ~100 workers for coordination, QC (including ELQA and VAC), troubleshooting, special activities 2.5-3 years Resources used in 2008-09 IC shutdown: CERN ~100 workers

7. 18 October, 2010 First LHC Splice Review - Work Organisation - F. Bertinelli 7 Duration of IC work  at 50 IC/week (!!!) for critical activities,  14 weeks for 1 st sector, 5 weeks later for 2 nd sector, 49 weeks for 8 sectors  2 shift work (on different activities), some overlap: 6h–10h/break/11h-15h 12h-16h/break/17h-21h  no learning curve, no built-in contingency, no account for holiday/closure periods  must work sequentially to adjacent sector, without access constraints (i.e. first cool-down and HWC powering)  big concern is the “other activities” to be done in parallel: more realistic is to consider an additional 2-3 months

9. 18 October, 2010 First LHC Splice Review - Work Organisation - F. Bertinelli 9 Estimate of IC resources needed (ii/ii)  cf Chamonix 2010: respectively 46 and 72 for IC work alone  New consolidation activities (e.g. Surfacing busbars), more non-standard activities (within same time...)  Connected activities: Vacuum Cryo-thermometers Survey ELQA and QPS RP and general safety  “Missing resources” to be found inside CERN (e.g. stop of Injector operation), Project Associates, FSUs: need to start this commitment.

10. 18 October, 2010 First LHC Splice Review - Work Organisation - F. Bertinelli 10 The current scenario  1 “train” only for standard activities  A Special Intervention team to prepare non-standard work before the arrival of the train

11. 18 October, 2010 First LHC Splice Review - Work Organisation - F. Bertinelli 11 Organisation  Magnet/interconnections work coordinators: between groups involved and with overall Shutdown coordination weekly meeting between groups continuous presence in tunnel 8h-12h30 to 13h30-18h  Quality Control (independent from production) and management of non-conformities: Specific to single electrical connections Specific to welding EN-MME Leak testing and ELQA overall integration to be organised / optimised Simplified traceability: recent contacts with MTF team

Bertinelli 12 5.4Speed of work In the 300 K sectors 1-2, 3-4, 4-5, 5-6 and 6-7 we estimated the mean amount of work made per day and per team thanks to the date of welding: 12.2 splices/day. As for the bad splices observed with R16 measurements, the ratio is 30% higher: 15.9 splices/day. Hence a potential guideline for future work is to be attentive to the negative effect of high production speed on quality.
