Work packages
The L-Surf project is divided in six work-packages (WP) which cover different topics, which are relevant to define the demands for a European, may be world wide research facility on safety and security in tunnels. The WPs are:
- WP 1 - Integration
Survey on existing or project development facilities, integrative activities to integrate existing and under development European research facilities and organisations, development of potential L-SURF scenarios for integration within the ERA (European Research Area)
- WP 2 – Research Needs
Identifying and prioritising of scientific and technological research necessities on safety and security in enclosed underground spaces, finding future users and clients of L-SURF
- WP 3 – Lay-out
Defining of civil-works, auxiliaries, installations of L-SURF, evaluation of measures to minimize environmental impact, development of technical specs for converting the geometry and the lay-out of the L-SURF research facility
- WP 4 – Equipment / Measuring Technique
Defining of ultra-modern test methods and the corresponding use of measuring installations, development of technical specs for innovative 2- and 3-dimensional data acquisition sensors
- WP 5 – Activities
Defining all the activities of L-SURF (R&D, training and education, external services, maintaining and operating) in accordance with the existing national organisations and thus reshaping the European R&D – environment
- WP6 – Funding/Business plan
Fund raising for the realisation of L-SURF, establishing a business plan for L-SURF based on public private partnership and evaluation of legal forms
