European Organization for Nuclear Research

GS-SE Site Engineering

MANDATE

The Group is responsible to provide, to maintain in working conditions including their eventual operation and to renovate the civil engineering structures and infrastructures and the technical services for the tertiary and industrial part of the organization. The abovementioned responsibilities include all phases from preliminary design to construction management and hand-over of complete structures and infrastructures. 

 

STRUCTURE

  • CEP - CIVIL ENGINEERING PROJECT MANAGEMENT (section leader: John Osborne)
    • Is principally responsible
      • for co-ordinating construction projects and major design studies, such as : Project Management of large scale civil engineering works on surface and underground (eg LINAC 4, 107, 867, Restaurant No. 1 Extension, 513 Computer Centre Upgrade) in collaboration with external architects, consultants and contractors;
      • ‘Master Planning’ for the surface facilities. This requires information gathering from all departments via the various existing committees (Site Committee, GTPE, SPOB etc) and with the aid of specialist external consultants prepare a long term strategy for the surface infrastructure. This Master Plan will also take account of ‘consolidation’ issues and requires a particularly close collaboration with PH;
      • Studies of large future projects such as CLIC, ILC, LHeC etc. This necessitates an international collaboration with other laboratories and across all fields within CERN;
      • Feasibility studies for potential schemes for all departments of CERN (eg LHC shafts for R2E).
  • DOP - DESIGN OFFICE AND PATRIMONY (section leader: Michael Poehler)
    • In charge of:
      • the design and studies of civil engineering works (underground, surface and special works, piping networks, roads and landscaping)
      • the modeling of structures in 3D Catia; the administration of the CERN Geographic Information System : Survey, update, archive and diffusion of the CERN maps (site, networks and rooms)
      • the patrimony data. 
  • FMW - FACILITY MAINTENANCE AND SMALL WORKS (section leader: Richard Morton)
    • In charge of:
      • Maintenance and repairs for:
        • Surface Infrastructure:
          • Roads
          • Roofs
          • Facades
          • Doors
          • Windows
          • Stores
          • Fould and rainwater drainage
        • Underground Infrastructure:
      • Leak repair
      • Concrete repairs
      • Painting works
      • All aspects of the tunnel drainage network
      • Surface and underground Civil Engineering Works:
        • Steel frame structures and all types of steel works
        • Works in reinforced concrete, masonry, timber, roads and paving
        • Internal partions and offices
        • Supervision of all types of Civil Engineering projects from concept to realisation
        • Supervision of major projects in collaboration with the Design Office and Civil Engineering project Unit
      • Safety and environment:
        • Urgent repairs following safety inspections
        • Modifications for Handicap access
        • Asbestos removal
  • HE - HVAC AND ELECTRICITY (section leader: Christophe Martel)
    • In charge of:
      • the design, operation, repairing, maintenance, works and special works in the following fields:
        • HVAC (Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning)
        • Cooling
        • Fluids
        • Electricity
        • Sanitary
        • Catering (catering equipment)

For all the site buildings, excepted: "Machine structures" like PS, SPS, LHC, CNGS, POPS, 180, 183, 212, 354, 378, 513...
