DLSITT1050 - Supply of Storage Ring Girder Machined Fabrications for Diamond-II

Located on the Harwell Science and Innovation Campus in Oxfordshire, Diamond Light Source (DLS) is a leading-edge facility for science, engineering and innovation. Diamond 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 coordinated 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 52 machined girder fabrications which form the support structure for the storage ring magnets and vacuum vessels. There are 4 types of final machined girder required with different quantities.

The supplier shall deliver a set of 4 pre-series girders, one of each type for DLS to inspect and approve prior to main series manufacture of the remaining 48 girders.
