John Osborne GS/SE 6 June 2013

Site investigation for Near Detector and Target Area will be complete (pumping tests on-going)

• Pumping tests on cores C8,C10 & C12 • Report expected by early July

Tender documents :• Updated list of firms from MS• Instruction to Bidders• Technical Spec including :

• Descriptive• Deliverables for the phases• Safety Rules• Drawings• Geology

• Risk Matrix• Conditions of Contract• Tender Form• “Best Value for Money” Questions

& Criteria (50%/50%)• etc

Call for tender for CE Design and Contract Administration documents ready for issue

3D Visualisations for Near, Far and Taget Areas

• These artist impressions are essential for Impact Study and Building Permit submissions

• Offer from a company for :• Site visit and take base photographs• Prepare 3D wire-frame models from 2D Autocad drawings• Existing ground survey files to be prepared by CERN• Deliver images for Near, Far and Target Area by mid July

• Same company prepared all 3D images for CERN MasterPlan2030

• Estimate = 9200CHF

3D Visualisations – Example from MasterPlan : Bld 54 and Bld 30 extensions

CENF geological survey findings

• Completed borings up till 30 April 2013: C11-C14 (near detector area)

Stratigraphy C11 and C12• 0.2m-1.2m topsoil and backfill • 1.2m to 8.0m Wurmian Moraine (clays, silts)

• Consolidated• Intra-moraine units (marly, sandy, gravely), maximum thickness of 2.2m

• Partially saturated → excavation in wet conditions• Between 6.0m and 13.0m gravels

• Compacted• Aquifer → pumping tests will be carried out to determine the properties of the aquifer

• From13.0m up to 20m Rissien Moraine

Stratigraphy C13• Entire borehole consists of Moraine, except for an intra-moraine marly and gravely unit at 5.0 – 7.2m depth

• Marly unit partially saturated → excavation in wet conditions• Aquifer in gravels

Stratigraphy C14• Entire borehole consists of Moraine, except for an intra-moraine marly and gravely unit at 5.0 – 7.2m depth

• Partially saturated → excavation in wet conditions• No well defined aquifer, but some water inflow has been noted

Initial conclusions• Geology is very heterogeneous • Groundwater levels are variable
