Germany – Particle accelerators – FAIR Planning, Specification Development, and Supervision of Assembly Services in the SFRS

In the target area (Building L0516A.E10) of the Super Fragment Separator of the new particle accelerator at the FAIR facility, nine different assembly units (vacuum chamber, magnets, beam catchers) need to be installed. These assembly units are currently still in production, pre-assembly, or stored in GSI halls. Some of the assembly units are so heavy that, after test assembly, they must be transported, lifted, and reassembled at the final location in a disassembled state. A hall crane with a load capacity of 80 tons is available for installation. The scope of work includes frequent on-site presence during the planning phase and permanent presence during the execution of the assembly. The contractor is responsible for independently planning the individual assembly steps as well as preparing the technical specifications and requirements for subcontracting the assembly to suitable specialized companies. Subsequently, the bids are to be evaluated and prepared for awarding. FAIR GmbH will then handle the awarding process, while the contractor will execute and supervise the assembly on-site at the construction site.
