This presentation will provide an overview of the civil engineering design associated with the feasibility study submission of the FCC project. Key updates will include the revised construction schedule, and the latest design developments from the feasibility study. The session will also cover the developments to be made during the pre-TDR phase and discuss some of the studies required for...
In order to commence the civil engineering for the FCC in early 2033,contracts for construction of the necessary civil engineering will need to be put in place in mid-2032. To achieve this challenging milestone, a series of sequential activities needs to take place in order that a robust and largely frozen set of requirements and associated civil engineering designs are available to take...
This presentation will provide an overview of the objectives of Subsurface Site Investigations (SSI) Phase 1 and summarise the work carried out to date. It will outline the remaining investigation programme, scheduled for completion in early-2026, and highlight the key adjustments made to the original strategy. It will then review the results obtained so far and discuss how this emerging data...
The Future Circular Collider (FCC) is envisioned as the next-generation particle accelerator, requiring an underground tunnel approximately 90 km in length. Given the significant scale of this infrastructure, a detailed understanding of the subsurface is critical for reducing geological and geotechnical uncertainties. This abstract provides an update on the recent progress made through the...
In the framework of the FCC feasibility study a strategy for the management of the excavated material was established in collaboration with the French tunnel design centre, (CETU), the Centre for studies and expertise on risks, environment, mobility and urban planning, (CEREMA), the Montanuniversität Leoben (Austria) and with the technical support of the Swiss cantonal `Service de géologie,...
