Small beginnings for a large task
4 Mar 2013
The basemat for the Tokamak Complex—the 1.5 metre-thick B2 slab—will sit directly on top of the Seismic Pit's 493 columns and pads. On 27 February 2013, the Central Integration & Engineering Directorate completed the challenging mission of closing B2 slab design and obtaining model approval in a meeting held with the European Domestic Agency and the Architect Engineer ENGAGE. Work began immediately on B2 propping and formwork activities in the Seismic Pit.
