1 Introduction The APA Shipping Frame has a long list of requirements to protect two APAs. It must be shipped via shipping container or truck from the APA Factories to the Testing and Integration Factory. There the APAs are integrated with the Cold Electronics and Photon Detectors in a clean room before being tested in a cold box in nitrogen gas or liquid conditions. The boxes are then stored for ~ a year under a dry gas purge before being shipped underground in the Ross shaft and moved into the cleanroom.

It has not been decided yet the number of boxes required depending on the installation sequence and cost. They would be returned to the ITF then shipped back to the APA factories.

2 APA Shipping Frame RequirementsAPA Factory:

Should hold 2 APAs poisoned end for end Must be combatable with the APA transport frames to allow transfer of a completed APA to the

shipping frame Anti-vibration Support System to minimize damage during the shipping process Frame must be designed with lifting and fork lift pockets to be loaded on truck or into a shipping

container Outside side protection panels must be removable, must be sealed and air tight

Integration and Testing Facility:

Box needs to be designed to be removed the side using a side-loader fork truck on a low boy or moved out of shipping container from a loading dock

Must be able to remove individual APA inner foam protection panels during Photon Detector installation

Must be able to rotate from landscape to horizontal in the clean room for integration of Photon Detectors and Cold Electronics.

Must have lift points on the top edge when in landscape mode for movement with the cleanroom gantry crane and to enter the cold box via trolley system

Must be constructed by materials suitable for tests in cold box.

Ross Shaft:

At the headframe it must be able to be loaded from truck to rolling stock cart for transport into Ross Shaft headframe

Must follow SURF shipping requirements as shown in DocDB-4781. Drawing F10071028 shows the maximum box size. The shaft is controlled by SDSTA and approves all loads transferred into the shaft. Load specifications shown in figure #1.

o Maximum slug load weight not to exceed 13,000 lbs. (5,896 Kg)o Maximum length with 5’-6” curved radius on top corner is 22’-11 7/16” (6996)

4

o Maximum width is 4’-8” (1422)o Maximum depth is 11’-0”o Load must maintain center of gravity o Suspension points will be determined and approved by SDSTA

Figure #1: Drawing F10071028 showing maximum load dimensions

Must be able to withstand rotation from landscape (right side up) to vertical in the shaft, the is pulled out to landscape (up-side down) and loaded on a cart see figure #2.

Figure #2: Shows rotation of the APA shipping frame at the head frame and the 4850 level

Must be stable when stored on edge landscape mode and have pick points located on bottom for fork truck to move on cavern bridge. These fork pockets can also be used to hold APA Shipping Frame to rolling carts that are used to move it from the Ross Shaft to the detector hall.

Underground:

“Dirty” outside panels are removed and stored on the bridge APA Shipping Frame is picked up with 2 hoists on the Cavern overhead crane must be able to

rotate from landscape to portrait without the protective side panels as shown in Figure #3 Must be able to stand on end and mount to a rolling cart that brings the APA Shipping Frame

into the Cleanroom as shown in Figure #4 Must be able to remove a single APA while APA Shipping Frame is in the cart
