Testing interface specification (TIS): Draft

The Testing Interface Specification (TIS) for the Exploratory Shaft Facility in salt defines the facilities and technical support required by the Underground Testing contractor (UTC) for the proper execution of the planned test programs. It also specifies the timing and constraints of the planned activities in relation to the construction of the ESF. This TIS is based on information presented in the Underground Test Plan (UTP) (Golder Associates, 1986) and the supporting Study Plans and Technical Procedures which reference the ESF Final Preliminary Design (Parsons Brinckerhoff/PB-KBB, 1986). It is intended that the TIS will be used by the designer and the construction manager of the ESF. The designer will ensure that the facilities and utilities required to complete the test program will be available to the UTC, and that the time required to carry out individual testing activities will be properly incorporated into the overall construction schedule. The construction manager will use the TIS to define requirements in the following areas: transport of equipment and of materials, manpower scheduling to support the construction and testing activities, and provision of temporary utilities and services during construction. 9 refs., 38 figs., 14 tabs
