In an effort to further enhance the communication and transparency of activities having potential dependencies in terms of schedule or resources on other HL-LHC WPs, a first TCC day was organized on 12th March 2020.
This year, it will finally become possible to descend to the underground areas of the HL-LHC by lift, at Point 5 before the summer season and at Point 1 in November.

The project reached several key milestones since the last Newsletter. Among the many achievements I would like to highlight here the celebration for the completion of all Civil Engineering work in January at CERN.
Following the project re-baselining in summer 2016, the layout and optics of the high luminosity insertion regions were reviewed and the performance re-evaluated.
The 2017 Chamonix workshop featured three joint sessions between the HL-LHC and the LIU project. The main observations from Chamonix 2017 relevant for the HL-LHC project were the following ones.
The implementation of the EVM (Earned Value Management) system for the HL-LHC project was ready for the 2nd Cost & Schedule Review (CSR) that was held in October 2016.
The third edition of the HiLumi Industry Day took place in Warrington, a few minutes away from Daresbury Laboratory, in May 2017. This two-day event jointly organised by CERN and STFC gathered some 200 participants from 17 European countries.
The key highlights of the Civil Engineering work include the completion of the preliminary design of the civil engineering works at Point 1 and Point 5 at the end of 2016 by the external Consultants.

Following the re-baselining exercise for the HL-LHC project in June 2016, the HL-LHC project implemented several scope changes ith respect to the PDR that was issued at the end of the EU funded HiLumi Design Study.
The 6th HL-LHC Collaboration Board took place during the 6th HL-LHC Annual Meeting in November 2016, jointly organized by CEA and CERN in Paris, France.
