Best practice enables better engineering projects

Jan 19, 2017
Building a world-leading research facility as large and advanced as the ESS requires a high level of standardisation for the involved parties to collaborate as successfully as possible. Having many experienced partners on board, the ESS Central Engineering Team has a unique pool of best practice experience to draw from.

A large portion of the ESS construction budget will be realised by means of In-Kind contributions from European Partners. This means that the project will reap the benefits of the many years of experience with engineering in large research facilities brought by its project partners. However, with a large number of partners comes many different approaches to the work.

The need for a common approach and dialogue about the engineering requirements enabled a joint workshop in November, where engineering staff from ESS, ESS partners and BrightnESS In-Kind field coordinators met at ESS Bilbao for two days of discussions and sharing of experiences about the engineering aspects of big science projects.
