Work Organisation Interventions prior to the train: PIM consolidations Special opening (ELQA, leaks, RQ busbars segment shortening, early opening for splice analysis, Q7-DFBA M sleeves opening ) Magnets exchange Interventions in parallel of the train: Fixed urgent NCR raised during train consolidations
Team (16 persons) 3 month of training in surface before LS1 on mock-ups in building 180.
Sector 5-6 6 interventions planned before start of LS1 (PIM consolidations, 3 leaks, ELQA). More than 40 interventions done! Flange replacements for too short lip (12) Corrective action: partial cutting Cut of flanges for busbars machining (18) Corrective action: tooling re-design Cutting mark on flange weld Corrective action: modify tooling PIM damaged (5) Corrective action: add protections Q7-DFBA M sleeves opening (train machine doesn t fit) SIT intervene in 23% of the IC of the sector.
Sector 5-6: lessons and improvements PIM damaged Mark during cutting M flange cutting Q9 M-N pipes cutting Only 7 interventions in sector 6-7 up to now! Corrective actions applied in sector 5-6 improve the quality.

Leaks 3 old leaks repaired in 5-6 (2 M flange and 1 M2N flexible) 1 old leak repaired in 7-8 (M2N flexible)

QC: US welding US welding of line N US welding of spools
QC: US welding Qualification of welding machines before LS1 and after each transport. Production of standard samples for cold Rc measurements (cryolab) and tensile test (EN-MME). Same welding program than 2009 production. Same criteria than during the installation.

Still to do and conclusion Still to do: Magnets replacement will finish before end of 2013. 3 weeks of delay on the planning. Connection cryostat: 6/16 inspected ok. Still 2 to repair. Line Y repair Triplets copper braid SAM level gauges Follow train NCR SIT is able to follow the needs and we expect to free resources for major NCR last quarter of 2013.
