Document number: AOW/GEN/RAH/7.0/08/97GHRIL Handling

Version date: 27 August 1997

1. Introduction

This document is a summary report on the current overall plans for the handling of the NAOMI system assembly and disassembly at the GHRIL.

2. OMC

All major OMC components except the electronics racks (see Section 4) have been designed to allow manual lifting by a maximum of two people. For transportation to/from GHRIL the components will be placed in their shipping containers. Harnesses will be attached to the containers to allow the use of a dome crane to convey the boxes between floors. A small trolley will be used for transporting components between the dome floor and the Test Focal Station.

3. WFS

The WFS has an individual handling frame designed in, as presented at the PDR. A hatch should be provided above it in the GHRIL roof. The hatch opening should be at least 1.0 m by 1.2 m. It should be positioned over the footprint of the WFS on the GHRIL table. The WFS will be lifted through the hatch using the dome crane. Any independent WFS components/attachments not covered by the planned lifting arrangements as presented at PDR would be packed and moved as per the OMC components.

4. Electronics Racks

All electronics racks used in the GHRIL control room will be transported through the existing roof hatch using harnesses and a dome crane. The racks will have casters for transport on a level, smooth floor.
