What Has Been Learned from LS1

Abstract

The Long Shutdown 1, which started in February 2013, is almost finished. A huge number of activities have been performed, and the machine is now being cooled-down and power tested. As part of the preparation for Long Shutdown 2, the talk will review the process of the coordination of LS1 from the preparatory phase to the testing phase. The preparatory  phase is a very important process: an accurate view of what is to be done, and what can be done is essential. But reality is always different, the differences between what was planned  and what was done will be presented. Daily coordination is essential for the good progress of the works. The talk will recall the coordination and reporting processes, highlighting points  of success and points to be improved in terms of general coordination, in-situ coordination, safety coordination (including safety rules), logistics.
