Description
Following handover by the civil engineering contractors, the new LHC experimental
areas are being fitted-out with appropriate infrastructure and technical services. In
parallel, and in order to make up for the short time available, the installation of
the detectors has already started in the experimental caverns. In addition, the LHC
machine installation now has a non-negligible impact on the experimental area
activities. Four Experimental Area Teams have been set up in order to coordinate all
this work, organize the logistic resources and ensure the proper safety of personnel
and material.
This paper will focus on the status of installation in all areas and define the
technical challenges coming in the next months. Illustrations from the new areas at
Point 1 and Point 5 will be presented and compared to those from existing areas at
Point 2 and Point 8, custom built for and inherited from LEP. The successes and
difficulties encountered so far will be reviewed and the conclusions that have been
drawn from this experience will be discussed.
