06 March 2017

The Gallery Building (G02) Test Stand  was formally handed over to ESS. The ESS Accelerator Division will test accelerator components here prior to moving them into the tunnel. Final preparations, including the injection of minor concrete cracks, have begun for handover of the entire Accelerator tunnel (G01)  to ESS later this spring. The final two wall castings for the Target Station (D02) Monolith  were completed and construction of the vault has begun. Final details were tended to for the massive reinforcement job in the  Active Cells area (D02)  in anticipation of the first concrete pour this week. Pipe installation continues in the Cryo-Transfer Line tunnel and the installation of the facade for the large Central Utility Building (H01)  is nearing completion.
