The mandate concerns the operation and maintenance of the cooling
systems, pumping stations, air conditioning installations and fluid
distribution systems for the PS, SPS and LHC including their
experimental areas and special cooling systems of LHC sub-detectors.
It also provides service to the Computer Centre and some
miscellaneous installations.

Cabling
The mandate also concerns the cabling activities. Its main missions
are to install control cables, water cooled cables, and fibre optics for
users. This activities include the management of infrastructures (cable
trays, ducts, patch panels,etc.) and the necessary removal of old and
unused installations.
EN-EL is also in charge of the controls of their distribution network.

The mandate concerns the provision of overarching project coordination for the
accelerator complex, including layout management, integration, scheduling,
work and safety coordination, as well as for different projects.
It also concerns the development and support of the Organization's
engineering, equipment data, maintenance management tools and mechanical
CAD systems.
The mandate includes the maintenance of the metrology and alignment of the
accelerators, of their associated beam transfer lines and of the detectors, for
the whole CERN site.

Activities
• In charge of special mechanical engineering devices, submitted to beam impact and therefore extremely stressful conditions
• Typically need high accuracy, special materials, strict quality control.
• Qualification criteria often very restrictive: failure of the equipment implies intervention on very radioactive items.

Materials
• Typically look for structural materials with excellent elastic region, good thermal conductivity, good strength
• Glidcop
• CuCrZr
• Refractory metals

Collimators
• Most radioactive items in the LHC
• Designed to be maintenance free
• Require various know-how in once:
• Precision machining
• Electron Beam Welding
• Brazing
• Mechanical design
