(1) Freight shaft in the back, we’re standing at the A side
| 
|
(2) Turning to the left
| 
|
(3) left again
| 
|
(4) Left again A lighted passageway has a concrete wall on the right. The top supports the Scifi etc. To the right of the wall (behind the stairs) is a narrow space, and the magnet support steel in yellow.
| 
|
(5) Looking a bit higher, the top of the magnet (blue) is visible. note railings have been installed. From the highest platform, access to the top is by 'crinoline', the ladder with the round cage. If there is a lot of action on the top, we may want to request that the crinoline be replaced by proper stairs.
| 
|
(6) The access to the space between the wall and the downstream side of the magnet support is mostly obstructed by ductwork. There are some steps to get over the 90cm high beam.
| 
|
(7) Looking in, you can see valves mounted on the wall on the left.
| 
|
(8) To the right of the yellow support steel (upstream side) is another gap is partially blocked by pipes and hoses. The black pipes (NOVEC 649 for RICH2) could easily be moved up if necessary, the ss pipe not so easy. The gap is 40cm wide and 120 (left) and 70cm (right) high.

|
(9) I crawled inside, this is looking back at Marek.
| 
|
(10) Looking downstream, this is the pocket.
| 
|
(11) Walking down the passageway, to the C side, and looking into the downstream gap space from the C side. The valves are now to the right.
| 
|
(12) Walking tho the left. there is space between the upstream side of the yellow magnet support and a concrete wall
| 
|
(13) If you walk into this gap, and look right, there is a pocket of space, like on the A side. The steel is 90cm high, and above that is 133cm of headroom. The pocket in front is 90cm wide and 125cm deep, the pocket further down, where you could place equipment. Not visible in this view is a yellow steel cross piece, identical to the one in the center bottom, below the camera. You would have to climb over it, and then over the one in the middle to stand in the pocket where equipment would go. The ’shelves’ on the left and right are 25cm wide.

(14) ??? | 
|
(15) Going one level up on the C side, and looking down along the blue magnet steel to see if there is a gap that could reach there pockets. We are still on the C side. Narrow gap visible down to the yellow steel. Not much space, but the fiber ribbon bundles are only a few cm thick.
| 
|
(16) C side, one more level up, and looking down.
| 
|
(17) Going up on the A side, there is space to route the fiber along the blue magnet iron to the top. There is also a channel with green pipes.
| 
|
(18) Looking down, there is space between cable trays and the iron.
| 
|
(19) On top of the magnet, On the S side, magnet power cables come across at an angle, leaving a triangular space. You could put a platform across the pipes, 30cm high. The railing is 100cm. Pallets with supplies fly over the magnet, typically just clearing the railing ==> need to find out if the pallets can fly higher. If not, the vertical space available is 70cm. A rectangle of 120×65cm could fit in the triangle. From the A side of the triangle to the magnet center is ~100cm.

|
(21) The ss pipes run towards the A side and then turn downstream and go down. The pipes take about 50cm of floor space from the railing. There is 380cm from the A side clear of pipes, up the where there is a gate in the railing, and the ss pipes start on the C side of this gate. On the clear areas 100cm vertical is available.

|
(22) Access to the top is by 'crinoline', a ladder with a round cage. I asked if it were possible to build stairs if/when equipment is built on top - it can be considered.
