3. Detector unloading at CERN Option 1: Unloading at the place of destination on CERN site - Condition: single element on the truck - Procedure: Custom duties Registration at CERN goods reception Unloading of the truck at the place of destination - Handling means: forklift - Recommendations: Be present during the unloading Inform the forklift driver of the fragility of the detector Option 1: Unloading at the place of destination on CERN site - Condition: single element on the truck - Procedure: Custom duties Registration at CERN goods reception Unloading of the truck at the place of destination - Handling means: forklift - Recommendations: Be present during the unloading Inform the forklift driver of the fragility of the detector

4. Detector unloading at CERN Option 2: Unloading at CERN goods reception - Condition: standard procedure - Procedure: Custom duties Unloading at CERN goods reception CERN transport from the goods reception to the place of destination - Handling means: lowered truck 24 hour delivery time - Recommendations: Inform our service of the fragility of the detector Option 2: Unloading at CERN goods reception - Condition: standard procedure - Procedure: Custom duties Unloading at CERN goods reception CERN transport from the goods reception to the place of destination - Handling means: lowered truck 24 hour delivery time - Recommendations: Inform our service of the fragility of the detector

5. Handling at test facility Are you going to test your detectors at CERN ? If the answer is yes - Handling conditions at CERN: Need of an authorisation to drive forklifts and overhead travelling crane Support form handling teams at request (EDH) - Handling specifications: see specifications for installation Are you going to test your detectors at CERN ? If the answer is yes - Handling conditions at CERN: Need of an authorisation to drive forklifts and overhead travelling crane Support form handling teams at request (EDH) - Handling specifications: see specifications for installation

6. Surface transport Journeys - Goods reception -> Test facility - Test facility -> Storage facility - Storage facility -> Lowering point Transport specification - Procedure: internal transport request (EDH) Delivery time: 5 working days - Transport conditions: Conditioning (preferably original conditioning from arrival at CERN) Vibration and acceleration specifications ? Shock monitoring system ? Journeys - Goods reception -> Test facility - Test facility -> Storage facility - Storage facility -> Lowering point Transport specification - Procedure: internal transport request (EDH) Delivery time: 5 working days - Transport conditions: Conditioning (preferably original conditioning from arrival at CERN) Vibration and acceleration specifications ? Shock monitoring system ?

7. Lowering into the LHC tunnel Lowering points - SD1 for point 1 - SDX5 or SD6 for point 5 (depending on detector conditioning) Handling means - Lift Lowering points - SD1 for point 1 - SDX5 or SD6 for point 5 (depending on detector conditioning) Handling means - Lift

8. Underground transport Journey - Lift -> installation place Transport specification - Procedure: internal transport request (EDH) Delivery time: 5 working days - Transport means LHC trailer - Transport conditions: Risk of vibration Possibility of special rubber if necessary Journey - Lift -> installation place Transport specification - Procedure: internal transport request (EDH) Delivery time: 5 working days - Transport means LHC trailer - Transport conditions: Risk of vibration Possibility of special rubber if necessary

14. Detector installation Removal of copper bars - Handling means LHC forklift Slings Dedicated lifting hook - Interfaces Lifting hook to be defined o Simple to use o Easy and fast to enter in the copper bar o Limit human interventions in the vicinity of the TAN Removal of copper bars - Handling means LHC forklift Slings Dedicated lifting hook - Interfaces Lifting hook to be defined o Simple to use o Easy and fast to enter in the copper bar o Limit human interventions in the vicinity of the TAN

15. Detector installation Detector insertion into the TAN - Handling means LHC forklift Slings - Prerequisites Identification of the center of gravity 2 lifting points on the top of the detector Preferably slewing rings Location: each side of the center of gravity (in the longitudinal direction) Maximum distance between the 2 lifting points: 200 mm Allow a flat lifting of the detector 3 mm clearance Detector insertion into the TAN - Handling means LHC forklift Slings - Prerequisites Identification of the center of gravity 2 lifting points on the top of the detector Preferably slewing rings Location: each side of the center of gravity (in the longitudinal direction) Maximum distance between the 2 lifting points: 200 mm Allow a flat lifting of the detector 3 mm clearance

16. Handling operations after 1 st beam Limit staff exposure to radiations: - Efficient lifting hook for copper bars - No jamming during lifting operation (need of precise lifting points) - Transport conditioning for copper bars and detector (i.e. lead storage compartment) Limit staff exposure to radiations: - Efficient lifting hook for copper bars - No jamming during lifting operation (need of precise lifting points) - Transport conditioning for copper bars and detector (i.e. lead storage compartment)

17. Conclusion Anticipate lifting interfaces Simple lifting systems Anticipate handling operations after 1 st beam (radiations) Anticipate lifting interfaces Simple lifting systems Anticipate handling operations after 1 st beam (radiations)
