BY SCIENTISTS, FOR SCIENTISTS

The construction of the European Spallation Source (ESS) – a multi-disciplinary research centre based on the world’s most powerful neutron source – began in Lund, Sweden in the summer of 2014.

BMS in Sweden was total supplier of mobile cranes, with the signing of a four-year exclusive agreement with the contractor Skanska. This very large job that includes up to 16 machines constantly working on ESS includes lifting literally everything under the sun – from concrete elements and steel sections to liquid containers and machinery.

ESS is one of the largest science infrastructure projects being built in Europe at these years. Designed to generate neutron beams for science, ESS will benefit a broad range of research, from life sciences, energy, and environmental technology to cultural heritage and fundamental physics. The facility is being built next to the world-leading synchrotron light source, MAX IV, in South-western Sweden, while the Data Management & Software Centre will be located in Copenhagen, Denmark. It is anticipated that 2,000 to 3,000 researchers from universities, institutes and industry will participate in the ESS’s user program every year, making use of the facility’s broad range of neutron instruments to answer their scientific questions.

Organised as a European Research Infrastructure Consortium with member countries throughout Europe, ESS is being built through the collective global effort of hundreds of scientists and engineers – and with the assistance of among many others BMS Kranar.

ESS interacts with the international research community in order to ensure that the instrument suite meets the needs of science, enabling the breakthroughs of tomorrow. Instrument concepts for ESS are being developed around Europe, making this a facility built by the scientists, for the scientists.

Both through the research that will be performed there and the establishment of the facility itself ESS will serve as an economic driver for all of Europe. The centre is expected to deliver its first neutrons by the end of this decade, with the user program to follow in 2023. Europe’s need for an advanced, high-power neutron facility was articulated 20 years ago. ESS is a pan-European project, being built with the participation of more than 15 European countries.
