Since the situation in Bauhalle is still tense cause of additional construction site tasks and sick absences, Bauhallenteam decided to strictly follow these rules:

• All personal tasks in Bauhalle and IBK labs SHALL BE scheduled by Friday of the privious week in the available Bauhallen outlook calendar!
• Project managers are responsible for planning experiments and keeping to schedules. Bauhallenteam provides support, with subtasks being set in meetings.
• Bauhallenteam will reserve consulting hours for meetings each Thursday mornings from 9am to 11h30am. All planning discussions shall be scheduled in this timeframe because of inefficient interruptions otherwise.
• There is a new “supporters” column in our sharepoint site which will show you the responsible project supporters from Bauhalle.
  PROJECT LIST
• Projects are prioritized in which students have to meet deadlines or on a first-come, first-served basis. In case of problems, the professors can transmit priority lists.
• Bauhallenteam wants to have more meetings for information sharing in projects and to set milestones. These must be organized by project managers.
• Material orders: Must be discussed in meetings and Bauhallenteam must be informed in advance in case of deliveries.

Information

Bauhallenteam limited!

Cuase to staff shortages due to illness, delays in projects must be expected. At the moment, projects are prioritized in which students have to meet deadlines.

SAFETY and TIDINESS

Safety is first priority in Bauhalle.
Therefore tidiness is a good basis to prevent accidents. Always clean your experimental environment and pay attention to sensible storage options.
Beside – also try to watch the construction works – which could present an additional risk (see picture).

Experimental research is possible following the ETH master plan:

Unplanned tasks will not be supported.

HIF (+) restoration

Information Site

Bauhallenteam will be busy with prepartions for Etappe 3.1 of the HIF refurbishment.
See also IBK REF Information – HIF+.

In the red area (see above) a fire protection wall will be build from November 1st till November 25. Therefore all material must be moved. Bauhallenteam will dispose unlabeled material.

In area “3.1 North” experiments can still be active till November 19th.

This space limitation will effect the experimental capabilities of Bauhalle for springsemester 2022. The strong floor is already booked out.

Procurement

• Hexapod (Chatzi), decision made – Installation by end of November 2021
• Small fire furnace (Frangi) , decision made – E-TERM
• Vibrophore (Taras)
• 15MN machine (Taras)
• Replacement of Walter&Bai testing machine (financial participation of IfB still open!)

HIF (+) restoration

Information Site

There will still be construction works around bauhalle which can influence experiments:

• Noise (Health, Concentration, detection of experimental events..)
• Vibration (measurement accuracy, Stability)
• Dust (measurement accuracy, Health, equipment functionality)

In the last weeks there were a lot of interrupts on air pressure system / cooling system.
We will contact the Nutzerausschuss to find a solution for a better communication.

Pay attention to the announcment of phase 3 (Bauhalle) of the HIF restoration.

Bauhalle resources

Support of Bauhallenteam for all projects will be limited till the end of the year cause of

• absences
• many tasks concerning HIF restoration

Scheduling projects early is of big importance.

Procurement

• Hexapod (Chatzi), decision made – DELIVERED
  Assembly planned for October/November
• Small fire furnace (Frangi) , decision made – E-TERM
• Vibrophore (Taras)
• 15MN machine (Taras) (first priority)
• Replacement of Walter&Bai testing machine

After the Baukommissionssitzung on the 25th of August changes in the construction phases were communicated.

This is the new schedule:

The important dates for REF and experimental research at IBK are:

• Nov. 2021: Start of stage 3.1
  From 1st of November 21 the fire protection wall between area 3.1 NORTH and 3.2 SOUTH will be build till 21st of November. In that period, Bauhallenteam must also clean the space in area 3.1.
  
  This means that from 1st of November 21 till end of April 21 the last third of Bauhalle can not be used. This includes the fire/furnace teststands, shaketable and 3/4point bending teststand.
  Also the space on the strong floor is already booked out for spring semester 2022.
• May-Nov 2022: Stage 3.2
  In this period IBK can only use are 3.1, because also 2.2 will be closed till the end of Stage 3.2.
• Nov 2022 – Okt 2023: Stage 3
  IBK can use both strong floors again, but will only have limited support from toolshop.

In all stages 3.x the Bauhallenteam will permanantly have tasks with moving material and support of the site works.
It is not clear yet, if we can use both cranes in the active areas. If not this would limit the weight of specimen to 10t.

CRANES

For the location of cranes in the resotration phases of Bauhalle the following scenario is planned by Bauleitung:

3.1 NORTH: One crane is in area 3.1 (inactive), the other in the active areas 3.2 & 3.3
3.2 Center: Crane A is activated again in area 3.1, crane B is active in area 3.3
3.3 SOUTH: Crane A is active in area 3.1 & 3.2, crane B is inactive (area 3.3)

For lifting elements heavier than 10t an autocrane could be used. BUT – this has to be validated in each situation. Possible situations:

Till 1st of July 10 Projects including students were proposed and accepted.
Not all groups did inform about “experienced lab users” (ELU) yet. Therefore ELUs of other groups can be asked to support projects.

HPQ – construction requirements

The planned HPQ building next to HIF sets vibration criteria on very low levels causing additional effort for other projects (Hexapod, Hochfrequenzpulsatore..).
To have a better understanding of the ground characteristics around the HPQ location group Chatzi with the PHYS department started a measurement campaign.

Situation in Bauhalle was very stressful in the last weeks. There was a lot of noise from deconstruction work and dust exposure cause of demolishion works nearby Bauhalle. According to construction project management this should have been the peak of influences to Bauhalle. Project management will try to send information for future demolishion tasks.

Experimental projects can be influences in the folloing points:

• Noise (Health, Concentration, detection of experimental events..)
• Vibration (measurement accuracy, Stability)
• Dust (measurement accuracy, Health, equipment functionality)

Beside that we had multiple building service failures which were not communicated:

• electicity
• cooling system
• compressed air

Pay attention to this if you want to perform tests.
