Minutes of the E163 Civil Construction Meeting, 2/18/04.

 

Attendees: R. Reek, P. Gallego, J. Sevilla, R. Principe, H. Shin, P. Rodriguez, D. Palmer, R. Siemann, R. Noble, D. Walz

 

1. Discussion with R. Reek and P. Gallego on fire detection/suppression requirements for laser room:

 

a) They advised installation of air-duct smoke detectors by the cleanroom

contractor and ionization smoke detectors by SLAC after room is complete.

P. Gallego will supply H. Shin with correct wording for describing the duct detectors in the bid document. No one-hour rating for fire survival of the

room walls is required.

 

b) Fire suppression in the laser room is not required since ESB is not fully

protected by fire sprinklers, but having it can reduce equipment loss. A

so-called FM200 gaseous extinguisher system is estimated at $10-15k

minimum, and can be installed during construction or added later. For very

early smoke detection, one-port VESDA units for single rooms are available

for $2-3k.

 

2. J. Sevilla reported that he is waiting for the final flow meter for the E163

modulator cooling instrumentation before starting installation. Part is expected

by Thursday 2/19. It was decided to have M. Racine's EFD workers first

complete the hole drilling for waveguide supports Thursday or Friday

(2/19-2/20), and then do the cooling instrumentation installation.

 

3. J. Sevilla will generate a purchase requisition for the water manifold

installation in the E163 hall and its connection to the 8-Pack manifold.

Target date to start work is March 1. After this work is complete, the

hall smoke detectors can be activated.

 

4. D. Palmer distributed an updated electrical power list for the laser room. Items outside the laser room will be powered from a separate breaker panel, but this electrical installation will not be part of the laser room contract. R.

Principe will create a high level drawing showing the basic electrical specs for

the laser room bid package, and update our in-house electrical drawing to

show the location of the planned laser room panels. D. Palmer will revise the laser room power spreadsheet based on the discussions and distribute to Shin, Amador and Principe.

 

5. H. Shin reported that a first draft of the laser room bid package will be ready by Wednesday 2/25.
