Oral Session 4

Speaker

Francois Trias (Soleil)

Description

After a brief recall on buildings and infrastructure required for SOLEIL upgrade, so-called SOLEIL II, a presentation will focus on the scenario and methodology of girders assembly, and the following strategy for a shutdown will be developed. We will review scheduled scenario and phasing based on a series of opening and closing of slabs per areas. During the major shutdown phase, girders installation followed by a first-alignment campaign allowing achromat vacuum chamber installation, then straight sections and front-ends, will be illustrated with synoptic and installation diagrams.
