Overspend of £374k for the FY 2011-12.
Everything looked on track up to end Feb £318k still to commit in March.
Average monthly spend from Sept to Feb was £187k.
So planned for large stage payment of Focus Coil £165k in March.
March there was financial-year-end budget-activity and payments made which where not anticipated.

Total £193,659
These late payments accumulated in March, added to the stage payment for the Focus Coil module of £165k equals a total £358k, which largely explains overspend of £374k.
Summarising
• Broken spreadsheet from December (introduction of new project numbers PPD) led us to believe MICE had more money to commit in March so we pushed for AFC payment
• Unexpected late payments with end of yr balancing activities for Contracted Services• Late in House booking and claim submissions

Forecast Cost for FY 2012/13

Forecast costs to deliver step IV only. Labour intensive this year. Assumed similar income lines from previous yr for Common Fund & EU Card. Plan to monitor each month. Final stage payment for AFC #1 not included in these figures.

Issues for Step IVMagnet Field
Further analysis shows that problem is more severe than first thought.
Need to find alternative position for sensitive electrical components, racks & compressors etc.
Options being considered1. Temporary solution - move equipment behind North Wall were RF
amplifiers will be installed.2. Distribute racks & compressors around west wall.3. Install equipment in ISIS plant room – could be final solution for
step VI also.
Solution’s 1 & 2 will be most expensive- labour - shielding

Issues for Step IV
Spectrometer Solenoids HTS problemsHot of the press. HTS leads failure. Delivery date for Spectrometer Solenoids will be delayed.
Need to update schedule once HTS problems resolved and shipping dates known.

Staffing
10
STFC:- Mike Courthold now only contracted to work 3days each
week.
- Roy Preece returned from LTA in US. He will continue as magnet co-ordinator with Mike Courthold and assume role as installation manager in MICE Hall & R9.
CONCERNS:-- Need to recruit Hydrogen System operator & provide safety
training. - TD re-structuring at DL in the electrical group is a grave
concern. Installing step IV and all necessary sub systems is a big task with reduced staffing levels.
- RF work beginning to ramp up, need full commitment of ASTEC & RF systems engineers. Plan is to recruit a graduate engineer who eventually will be based at MICE.
Step IV Installation
12
• Step IV base plate installation complete. • AFC rail installation complete.• SS rail system installation complete.• Tracker single station tests complete.• Hydrogen system tests ongoing.• EMR delivery delayed until beginning of November.• EMR commissioning after step IV installation.
Step IV Critical Path
13
• AFC is now the critical path item. • AFC delivery now expected 6th Aug into R9 for pre installation work
and commissioning.• Downstream Spectrometer Solenoid cannot be installed until the AFC
has been field mapped in Step IV position.
Hydrogen System
14
• Helium tests successful & now complete.• Hydrogen tests due to begin 23rd July, aim to complete 24th Aug.• Skilled shift teams have been organised to complete tests. • Currently working through Procedural Safety Requirements before tests can begin• Aim is to complete before we accept the Focus Coil & Solenoid into the MICE Hall.
Focus Coils
15
• Focus coil delivery slipped to end July. Delays due to supplier mechanical issues.• Control system complete and ready to be shipped to Tesla – waiting for Tesla.• Final assembly of turrets will take place in R9, which makes shipping easier.• Tesla submitted risk assessments & staff have been safety inducted• Final payment was in last yrs budget - NOT accounted for in this yrs budget.
Spectrometer Solenoids
16
• Control system in place and commissioned.• Delivery of 1st Solenoid expected mid August.
Magnet Mapping & Movement Sequence
17
• Field mapping to be carried out with beam path clear – no obstructions!!! • Focus Coil mapping in R9 & upstream Spectrometer Solenoid mapping clash
currently. Both need to use the same mapping equipment. Will manage this clash when we have the magnets. May delay the final completion date by 2-3 weeks.
