Lessons Learned from ET Beam Pipe Design for Infrastructure Linkages
Understanding the interfaces between the ET beam pipe and civil infrastructure is vital for successful project implementation. Luigi Scibile shares insights on the connections with roads, buildings, shafts, tunnels, and more at the 2nd Einstein Telescope Annual Meeting in Paris, November 2023. The presentation highlights the integration of beam pipe dimensions, vacuum equipment, welding, ventilation, and safety systems with various infrastructure elements throughout the project lifecycle, emphasizing the need for careful planning and coordination.

Interfaces/Interferences between the beampipe and civil infrastructure: Overview The interreferences/interfaces between the beampipe and the civil infrastructure have to be identified throughout the beampipe lifecycle.

Interfaces/Interferences between the beampipe and civil infrastructure: Overview 3. Shaft(s)*: specifications depends on beampipe length (using+ 15 meters ) Transport Tunnel Transport Operation and Maintenance Decommissioning installation and commissioning Heavy handling Materials Manufacturing Transport Transport Manufacturing (*) Assuming no inclined tunnel access (+) Note that in ET design report update 2020 pipe lenght is 20 meters 2nd Einstein Telescope Annual Meeting, Paris, 14- 16 November 2023 Luigi SCIBILE for the ET-CERN collaboration 6
Interfaces/Interferences between the beampipe and civil infrastructure: Overview 3. Caverns: Interfaces/Interferences depend on beampipe length and width for the transport during the installation and for the eventual replacement of a tube section in case of failure.

Interfaces/Interferences between the beampipe and civil infrastructure: Overview 3. Tunnel: Interfaces/Interferences depend on many factors (see separate slides).

Interfaces/Interferences between the beampipe and the tunnel: cross section Space required for the supporting structure, for welding and future inspections (min 400mm), for gate valves, for pumping modules and related control units (depending on design installation). 800 800 800 2720 2720 1100 1100 1100 2180 Fire fighting equipment (water - DN200 pipe?)

Conclusions The links between the systems to the installed and the civil infrastructure are many. It is important to have an estimate of the expected volumes/encombrements to proceed with a proper system integration before freezing the preliminary design of civil infrastructures. The list of items and activities that are linked to the civil infrastructures has to be exhaustive to reduce the risk of poor design. 2nd Einstein Telescope Annual Meeting, Paris, 14- 16 November 2023 Luigi SCIBILE for the ET-CERN collaboration 11
