DLSITT1106 - Upstream & Downstream Pumping Modules for Straights I02,I03,|I04,I07,I11,I19 & I24 for Diamond Light Source

Tender description

Located on the Harwell Science & Innovation Campus in Oxfordshire, Diamond Light Source (DLS) is a leading-edge facility for science, engineering and innovation. DLS allows researchers from academia and industry to investigate the structure and behaviour of the world around us at the atomic and molecular level. To continue delivering the world-changing science that Diamond enables, the facility is being upgraded to Diamond-II, a co-ordinated programme of development that combines a major machine upgrade with new instruments and complementary improvements to optics, detectors, sample environment and delivery capabilities, and computing, as well as integrated and correlative methods. This will be transformative in speed and spatial resolution and will offer users streamlined access to enhanced instruments for life and physical sciences. The scope of the contract is to manufacture, supply, test and deliver the Diamond-II Upstream and Downstream Pumping Modules for Straights I02, I03, I04, I07, I11, I19 and I24, including their support frames, 14 in total. The Pumping Modules will be located in a restricted area at either end of the Insertion Devices for Straights I02, I03, I04, I07, I11, I19 and I24. They must therefore be capable of continuous operation for extended periods without maintenance. The support frames have been designed to be rigidly constructed to minimise the effects of ground vibration and are supported from the floor by four manually adjustable feet to allow accurate survey positioning. See specification for further details.
