Context
Part of Central support group, in charge to build the gas systems for the 4 LHC experiments.Size of the Project (baseline):
Method:– Split up the systems in functional and scalable
modules that can be standardized.– Be genuine partner for the experiments, helping
them to solve their problems.
4 MSF Components + Materials
60 man-years Staff, fellows and PJAS
34 man-years External manpowerType B:
Type A:
TA1-GS Section:
3 Physicists (2 Staff and 1 PJAS):– Work out the solutions with the experiments– Management of the project– Definition of gas system controls (Collaboration
with IT/CO)
5-6 Technicians/Engineers – Planning + organization of the construction,
ordering of material etc.
– Handle Industrial contracts
5-10 persons FSU + institute manpower– They assemble and install the gas modules.

System with Special Modules or Special Attention
ATLAS– MDT (extra work partly covered by ATLAS)– TRT (extra work covered by ATLAS)– TGC n-pentane supply and recovery
CMS:– Non
ALICE:– TRD (some extra development)
LHCb:– 2 x RICH’s (will need extra development) – OT (??)
Extra PhysicistNeeded
These special units are included in the baseline, but they consume more manpower.
Today’s Status (on baseline production)
ALICE TPC system is completed and currently under test in Bldg. 167. – First tests of PLC + PVSS software are
done successfully
CMS distribution modules are completed (22 racks).Mixer production is ongoing (40-50%)
Extra’s and Auxiliary Systems
ATLAS– TRT cooling system– Inner Detector Purge Systems
TOTEM – 2 systems
We have many requests for temporary installations or test systems: in particular from ATLAS and CMS, but we have no resources to satisfy this needs (since 2002).
Work Package proposal from ATLAS
No Work Package yet
No Packages defined.
Problem Areas
Problem Areas
Ageing risk: – Induces bottlenecks for the Component
validation..– Multiplies iterations for all decisions of the project.
Schedules: 1. Delays bco holdups in components validation.2. High overlap and early delivery dates.3. Progress monitoring is not very transparent.4. Work order: so far first come first served.
Additional Work:– ATLAS inner Tracker– TOTEM– ….
Ageing Risk
Three systems which are believed to be very sensitive. (ALTLAS TRT, MDT, and LHCb OT)
We have set up a Quality plan that is agreed with the experiments, which should cover these risks.
Nonetheless, numerous iterations for many decisions. (BTW: How long it takes depends very much on the people.)All resource evaluations underestimate this problem!
Schedule
Current Bottlenecks:– Decision making– Component ordering is slow– Component dismantling and cleaning– Technical problems with some components after cleaning
Delivery delays long due to special cleaning, overheads due to QC procedures, dismantling extra cleaning , etc. No or little stock in CERN store….Large overlaps in schedules between experiments.– 20 projects all priority “1”,… too many things worked on in
parallel.– Delivery dates between 2005 and 2006. – So far: first come first served, this causes some frustration now.
We need some priorities from the experiments.
Bottlenecks have to be solved to
increase construction
capacity
New Work Packages
ATLAS Tracker purge and cooling systems.
Proposed by ATLAS approx. 1-2 m-y’s (of type B plus x type A)
TOTEM ( no work package yet)
Guesstimate:1 m-y of type “B”
Temporary installations ( should be done by experiments)
Manpower
Manpower (2 types)
Type A: Engineering and Management labor:These are project managers and engineers: Supervision, logistic
and management of construction; conducting tests; problem solving etc.
Scales with: complexity of project, novelty of the work, technical difficulties, etc.
These are: Staff, fellows, PJAS, etc.
Type B: Construction and installation labor:These are people that assemble the racks:Scales with: Number of racks to make.These are: FSU, Institute labor (ATLAS) (not available as
staff)
To be paid
by Experiments
Manpower Type “A”
Initial Estimate for construction Period (2003 to 2007): 60 FTE’s over 5 years
Activities with general interest are covered by TA1: guess 75%, so 45 FTE’s
Specialized work for individual sub-detectors: should be covered by experiments: guess 25%, so 15 FTE’s.
For Baseline Systems Only.

Comments to Schedule
The construction of all the baseline systems will go on until the end of 2006. Installation is likely to continue in 2007.It is absolutely important that similar modules are constructed in series. (The experiments have to adopt to our construction schedule.)
Side activities have to be reduced.Focus efforts on essentials for 2007.
Conclusions
Conclusion as of Today
Present Commitments: – Baseline – If Extra’s to be added WP’s need to be completed
urgentlyManpower Situation:– Type A: increase from 39 to 52 FTE’s (initial estimate
was 60). Extra: PH +9 FTE’s; Experiments +4 FTE’s
– Type B: 35 m-y’s efficiency must be monitored (1/6 months).
Schedule:– Extends to 2007 (What could be delivered after 2006 ?)– Bottlenecks must be improved
Work order: – list of critical deliverables for 2007
