Presentation of the ITER Itinerary Measurement & Test Campaign Pierre-Marie DELPLANQUE Director of the ITER Transportation & Itinerary Coordination Group (ITICG) ITER France
Berre l Etang > Cadarache (104 kilometres, 16 towns) 12 network operators (department councils, ASF, ESCOTA, SNCF, EDF) 41 towns concerned by detours (4 departments)
Ensured by the State (ITER/DREAL mission) Co-funded by the State & Bouchesdu-Rhone Departmental Council ( 112 million) - Reconstruction or consolidation of 26 bridges - Displacement of networks (EDF, GDF, pipelines, FT, etc.) - Changes to road equipment (signs, traffic islands, lamp posts, etc.) - 19 roundabouts adapted for the itinerary - 4 motorway crossings - 1 railway level crossing adapted (PN 100) - 35 km of roads widened or adapted and 10 km of temporary tracks - Construction of an unloading dock - Trees lopped, cut down or planted
Authorities involved: Prefectural authorities and State services Local councillors from the towns through which the itinerary passes and concerned by the traffic detours Road operators (Bouches du Rhone Departmental Council, ASF, ESCOTA, SNCF), LyondellBasell, Marseille port authority French Gendarmerie (military police) ITER Organization (IO) and Fusion for Energy (F4E) DAHER transport company CETE Méditerrannée (Technical study and engineering laboratory) Regional road coordination and information centre (CRICR)
ITER Transportation & Itinerary Coordination Group (ITICG) Created by a ministerial order dated 22 February 2011: - Utilities, maintenance, durability and monitoring of the itinerary => Contracts - Interfaces with the road and network operators => Agreements - Monitoring of urban planning and works authorisations => Agreements, declarations prior to commencing works (DICT) - Safety and security actions performed by the State services => Agreement with the Gendarmerie, CRICR operational control station for the itinerary - Communication actions Contact point for all players concerned by the operation of the ITER itinerary
Managing the itinerary Complex management due to the large number of authorities Requirement to limit the traffic constraints: Transport operations at night (Berre-to-Cadarache direction) Itinerary divided into sections (26) Replacement itineraries and by-passes Faster transport conditions (works, suitable equipment, optimised removal and reinstallation times for road signs, etc.) Convoy escorts ensured by the Gendarmerie Operating file and agreements with network operators Real-time monitoring from the CRICR control station.
BACK-UP ITINERARIES
2013 SCHEDULE - 12-20 September: measurement and test campaign along the ITER itinerary - October: analysis of results and integration of feedback - By late 2013: final rehearsal to validate the general timing and organisation in place 2014 ITER ITINERARY First real convoys (20 t < US component s < 100 t)
Components transported along the ITER itinerary (from 2014 to 2020) About 230 components of differing sizes manufactured in the seven member countries and shipped to the Marseille-Fos port No hazardous materials Mass of components ranging between 6 and 600 tonnes Maximum dimensions of components: Height: 9.10 m - Width: 9 m - Length: 19 m (47 m) Variety of components Definition of 6 types of convoys travelling at night (1 to 3 nights) between 2014 and 2020
ITER CONVOYS 10.6 metres high 61 metres long 9 metres wide 900 tonnes 9 stainless steel sectors of the vacuum vessel Weight: 544 tonnes Width: 8.50 m Length: 14.10 m Height: 7.45 m About thirty XXL components
ITER CONVOYS 10.6 metres high 61 metres long 9 metres wide 900 tonnes 19 stainless steel superconducting coils Weight: 530 tonnes Width: 8.50 m Length: 17.30 m Height: 9.10 m
MEASUREMENT & TEST CAMPAIGN Checking 33 engineered structures along the ITER itinerary (104 km) in 4 nights 16 to 20 September 2013
orque opropulsée nging to the ER er : company -propelled trailer prising 88 axles in ines of 4 rows. 352 tyres
Mock-up comprising 360 concrete blocks and a metal framework Characteristics of trailer + mock-up: Mass = 775 t, H = 10.60 m, L = 33 m, W = 9 m
Aim of the measurement campaign performed by CETE Méditerranée and covering 19 long-span engineered structures using sensors and instruments: validate the sagging tolerance of structures and design margins Crossing over each structure three times Closure of roads section by section to conduct the measurements with the implementation of 15 detours (193 km in total) and a number of by-pass itineraries (involvement of Gendarmerie teams). Théodolite (sensor) Long-span bridge
