Reinstallation and interconnections

Reinstallation of the first magnets in the D-zone has already started in parallel with the removal of damaged magnets. It is planned for the last magnets to be reinstalled by end March. The start of interconnection (IC) work requires a minimum chain of adjacent magnets and their alignment: it is planned to start this in late February. IC work will now be performed by CERN and FSU staff, no longer with the Main Contractor as for past series work. The status of the IC situation, the new work organization and responsibilities will be presented. Quality Control issues are particularly important, both in order to reproduce past quality in the new conditions, and of course to improve on critical aspects. IC work will also continue in parallel outside the D-zone in 34 and in other sectors during the shutdown. The issues of resources and scheduling are addressed.
