Description

This presentation describes how CERN’s civil engineering team are investigating the optimal position for the FCC underground structures in the Geneva area. A 3D geological model contained within bespoke web-based systems has enabled the position of the FCC underground structures to be narrowed down to two options. The feasibility of these alternative locations has been assessed from a civil engineering perspective and a comparison has been made. A description of this study is given and the results of the comparison are presented.
