Description

The Elettra 2.0 project schedule set tight deadlines in a fast paced technical environment. In this framework, expertise, teamwork and method must be merged all togheter in order to ensure the effectiveness of every installation phase and to guarantee the safety of the operations. Contractors with different levels of specialization are also involed, making the technical coordination challenging.

Every assembly of the storage ring is subjected to a deep analysis in terms of installation. All the technical informations are collected in the form of a detailed sequence of activities, with focus on responsabilities and critical control points. If needed, specific tools and instructions are developed in cooperation with the owner of the system to be installed. Analyzing the details of the assembly sequences is also possible to prevent risks and to improve the safety of the operations.

The first storage ring installation phase is running and the case study of the girder bases is presented. The operations include civil works, precision mechanics and granites, involving internal stakeholders and contractors. This gave the chance to debug drawings and documents. Strenghts and weaknesses of the procedures are reported.
