B513 Planning Meeting, 18th Jan 2002

Present:           Tony Cass, Anne Funken, Jukka Lindroos, Jose Miranda, Dave Underhill, Mario Vergari

1.             Previous Minutes

  1. Neither the  pre-heating coils nor remote control of the normabarres are required.
  2. A tender still needs to be prepared for the additional chiller.
  3. The old canalis normabarres will be removed from the vault ceiling.
  4. The tiles from the former false floor in the vault cannot be used in any current renovation project. They will be stored in B133 for possible use in a future project.

2.             Dismantling Status and Plans

  1. Much of the air conditioning ducting has been taken down. Gematech have yet to take down the old monoblocs and associated ducting.
  1. Removal of the obsolete electrical equipment is on schedule.

3.             Reconfiguration Plans

  1. Jose Miranda is now responsible for overseeing the vault conversion project.
  2. The following items were discussed
    1. TIS should decide whether or not doors are required between the storage areas and the B513-S corridor. If doors are required then they should be equipped with electromagnets.
    2. The final layout of the cloisonsin the storage area must be agreed soon.
    3. A ramp up to the false floor from the lift is not possible as there is insufficient space to keep the gradient below 5% as required by TIS. The ramp will be replaced by a platform with steps for part of the width and the rest laid out to allow use of the transpalette. The alyout of the platform needs to take account of the smoke extraction duct and the need to provide sufficient clearance when lifting equipment with the transpalette.
    4. It was agreed to replace the electrical cabinet serving the old hvac monoblocs with a much smaller modern cabinet. The cost was estimated at 5kCHF.
    5. The possibility of raising the air conditioning duct into the UPS battery room will be examined once the UPS cables have been rerouted.
  3. A possible new configuration for the silo complex was discussed. This allows installation of 8 silos even around the large pillars. This could be useful as Jukka is not keen on installing robots above the air conditioning ducts under the false floor. Tony will discuss the proposed layout with Fabien.
  4. Anne is awaiting input on the dates for air conditioning work before updating the planning schedule.

4.             Future substation

  1. The current bunker dimensions from Anne are on the generous side; final details won’t be known before the end of March. In terms of the overall planning, it would be useful to have the project approved at the February Site Committee as waiting until the May meeting would lead to a 4-6 weeks delay overall. Nigel should have plans and “photographs” by the end of the month so Tony can discuss the project with Jürgen May. Anne will contact Jean-Luc Baldy concerning Site Committee meeting dates and agenda closing dates.

5.             AOB

  1. The date of the next meeting will be determined as work in the vault and on the substation plan progresses.
