Krebs

  16. Upper Corner Block C-Hook H.J. Krebs

  17. Installation & Handling Fixtures Status • Corner Block Receptacle & Lift Eye • Purpose • Supports corner block vertically to release C-Hook and to lift corner block and load on truck using conventional rigging. • Needed • 2004, 2005 • Responsible person • Allen Constable • Status • Design not yet started on receptacle • Lift eye fabrication in process H.J. Krebs

  18. Corner Block Lift Eye H.J. Krebs

  19. Installation & Handling Fixtures Status • Flux Bar Handling Fixture • Purpose • Used to remove and reinstall the flux bars that are located behind the corner blocks. The flux bars must be removed to access layer 18. The handling fixture for the side flux bars may be different than that used for the top & bottom. • Needed • 2004 (top & bottom), 2005 (sides) • Responsible person • Jim Krebs • Status • Design and drawings not yet started – December? H.J. Krebs

  20. Installation & Handling Fixtures Status • Brass Installation Fixtures • Purpose • Install brass plates in steel flux return gaps. Top & bottom fixtures are different than side fixtures. There is a separate presentation devoted to these fixtures. • Needed • 2004 (top & bottom fixtures), 2005 (side fixtures) • Responsible person • Allen Constable • Status • Top & Bottom • Design complete • Fabrication • Parts in shop • Remaining parts on order • Sides • Design scheduled to begin 12-8-03 H.J. Krebs

  21. Installation & Handling Fixtures Status • Brass Cambering Fixture • Purpose • Modifies brass plate camber in field if steel gap is shaped different than expected. • Needed • 2004, 2005 • Responsible person • Allen Constable • Status • Preliminary design complete • Fabrication is not yet started H.J. Krebs

  22. Installation & Handling Fixtures Status • Forward End Plug Handling Fixture & Spreader • Purpose • Used to remove and reinstall the FWD end plug halves in the FWD end doors. Spreader bar needed to route rigging slings on each side (+Z & -Z) of the FWD end doors. • Needed • 2005 • Responsible person • Jim Krebs • Status • Design and drawings are complete • Fabrication is complete H.J. Krebs

  23. FWD End Plug Fixture H.J. Krebs

  24. FWD End Plug Fixture H.J. Krebs

  25. FWD End Plug Spreader Bar H.J. Krebs

  26. Installation & Handling Fixtures Status • Forward End Plug Receivers • Purpose • There are one each of a R.H. & L.H. receiver. These receivers support the FWD end plug halves in their normally installed orientation to allow the end plug handling fixture to be removed. The receivers will be used to transport the end plug halves to IR-12. • Needed • 2005 • Responsible person • Allen Constable • Status • Design scheduled to begin 11-19-03 • Fabrication is not yet started H.J. Krebs

  27. Installation & Handling Fixtures Status • EMC Load Transfer Fixture • Purpose • Transfers EMC gravitational load to flux return upper earthquake support beams to allow removal of FWD mid corner plates. There is a separate presentation devoted to this fixture. • Needed • 2005 • Responsible person • Richard Boyce • Status • Design and drawings are in conceptual design phase • Fabrication is not yet started H.J. Krebs

  28. Installation & Handling Fixtures Status • Installation Platforms & Positioners • Purpose • These devices are used to position fixtures and personnel in the proper orientation and elevation relative to the flux return steel. There are three basic devices: a vertical elevating platform, a horizontal angled positioner, and a device that will pull existing RPCs from their corresponding barrel slots. There is a separate presentation devoted to these devices • Needed • 2004 (elevator, RPC puller), 2005 (all) • Responsible person • Les Dittert • Status • Design and drawings are complete • Fabrication is not yet started H.J. Krebs

  29. Conclusions & Comments • Barrel RPC removal, brass and LST installation require the development of several handling and installation fixtures. • The LST installation equipment is not included in this presentation. (See Bill Sands talk) • The design and fabrication of these fixtures are on schedule for the 2004 down. • Our goal is to have these fixtures available as early as possible to take advantage of any potential schedule advancement.
