  Elettra - Sincrotrone Trieste S.C.p.A. is a multidisciplinary international laboratory, specialized in generating high quality synchrotron and free-electron laser light and applying it in materials science. The main assets of the research centre are two advanced light sources, the electron storage ring Elettra and the free-electron laser (FEL) FERMI, continuously (H24) operated supplying light of the selected colour and quality to more than 30 experimental stations. In this paper, we are giving an overview on the status of the infrastructure plants devoted to ensuring the operation of Elettra and FERMI machines. We will also analyse the systems that mostly have impacted on the performance of both accelerators and their downtime.

  National Synchrotron Radiation Centre Solaris started operation in May 2015. In order to receive heat deposited in various synchrotron devices during operation, a low-conductivity water (LCW) cooling system was installed. To fulfill all tasks of cooling system at an acceptable cost of investment and maintenance certain technical and economic conditions, i.e.:installation materials, LCW quality, hydraulic balancing system, automation, control and diagnostics, including the planned service intervals, have to be met. Within this presentation the design, construction and operation of the LCW cooling system will be discussed.

  Particle accelerator technology is constantly being developed, and new equipment and machines replace the former ones to keep pushing the energy and intensity frontiers. Therefore, in order to meet the space requirements of new equipment, the infrastructure often needs to be modified, and given its rigid nature, this presents a challenge for the civil engineers to provide the needed space without compromising the safety and serviceability of the structures. In this paper two underground works are presented: a new cross-passage tunnel for the AWAKE experiment completed in 2014 and the future SPS Beam Dump. The challenges that must be faced are: (a) to make sure that the movements of the adjacent structures remain within admissible limits, (b) to design and execute the works such that the life span of the structure is not reduced, (c) To ensure the effectiveness of existing and new drainage systems during and after the works. For these purposes, in the frame of future tunnel asset management, the use of novel and conventional monitoring techniques plays a crucial role as it can predict in real time potential tunnel deformations which can lead, in the worst scenario, to tunnel failure

The luminosity reach of the HL-LHC experiments implies new constraints for the protection of the inner triplets from the machine debris. In general activation levels will increase a factor of 15-30 from the 2015 values (LS1), affecting both radiation tolerance of equipment and maintenance scenarios. The design of new equipment takes into account these constraints and the entire layout of tunnel equipment near the interaction regions will al-low for simplified maintenance. In particular, new ab-sorbers will replace the existing protection of the ma-chine-experiment cavern boundaries, with an optimised layout of the region. This paper summarises the main constraints (both physical and operational) existing at the region, together with the solutions adopted to reduce worker's dose.

  The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the vibration amplitude and spectrum for TPS water pump systems. The utility systems operate continuously since 2014, some of deionized and cooling water pumps produced higher vibration amplitude and noise during operation. The possibly reason could be poor system accuracy, inappropriate installation and commission adjustment. The data acquisition system on vibration evaluation for deionizes water pumps was established in 2016. Accord-ing to the long-tern vibration amplitude recording, the system operational status could be clarified. After vibra-tion test for several months, the bearing of booster deion-ized water pump was found abrasive since coupling be-tween motor and pump misaligned. Besides, the founda-tion of copper deionized water pump system was broken and observed by rapidly increase vibration amplitude in short term. The water pump systems were repaired and maintained base on vibration evaluation. There is still some remain problems for deionized and cooling water pump systems. The utility systems could prevent mal-function through regular vibration inspection and daily data acquisition.

  During the operation of electrical equipment the arc-flash accident could damage the equipment and endanger the working personnel. In order to prevent this type of accidents from happening and to minimize the damages, a delicate setup is being installed inside the electric switchboard for suppressing the accidents at the initial stage of arcing at NSRRC's power system. The installed device includes the arc sensor, the smoke detector, the high rupturing capacity fuse, the circuit breaker and the protection relay. Further improvement on preventing the arc-flash accidents is also under study.
