12 network operators (department councils, ASF, ESCOTA, SNCF, EDF)
ITER ITINERARY
Ensured by the State (ITER/DREAL mission)
Co-funded by the State & Bouches-
du-Rhone Departmental Council (€112 million)
- Reconstruction or consolidation of 26 bridges
- Displacement of networks (EDF, GDF, pipelines, FT, etc.)
- Changes to road equipment (signs, traffic islands, lamp posts, etc.)
- 19 roundabouts adapted for the itinerary
- 4 motorway crossings
- 1 railway level crossing adapted (PN 100)
- 35 km of roads widened or adapted and 10 km of temporary tracks
- Construction of an unloading dock
- Trees lopped, cut down or planted
ITER ITINERARY
Authorities involved:
Prefectural authorities and State services
Local councillors from the towns through which the itinerary passes and concerned by the traffic detours
Road operators (Bouches du Rhone Departmental Council, ASF, ESCOTA, SNCF), LyondellBasell, Marseille port authority
French Gendarmerie (military police)
ITER Organization (IO) and Fusion for Energy (F4E)
DAHER transport company
CETE Méditerrannée (Technical study and engineering laboratory)
Regional road coordination and information centre (CRICR)
ITER ITINERARY
ITER Transportation & Itinerary Coordination Group (ITICG) Created by a ministerial order dated 22 February 2011:
- Utilities, maintenance, durability and monitoring of the itinerary => Contracts
- Interfaces with the road and network operators => Agreements
- Monitoring of urban planning and works authorisations => Agreements,
declarations prior to commencing works (DICT)
- Safety and security actions performed by the State services => Agreement
with the Gendarmerie, CRICR operational control station for the itinerary
- Communication actions
Contact point for all players
concerned by the operation of the ITER itinerary
ITER ITINERARY
Managing the itinerary
• Complex management due to the large number of authorities
• Requirement to limit the traffic constraints:
• Transport operations at night (Berre-to-Cadarache direction)
• Itinerary divided into sections (26)
• Replacement itineraries and by-passes
• Faster transport conditions (works, suitable equipment, optimised removal and reinstallation times for road signs, etc.)
• Convoy escorts ensured by the Gendarmerie
• Operating file and agreements with network operators
• Real-time monitoring from the CRICR control station.

SCHEDULE
• 2013
- 12-20 September: measurement and test campaign along the ITER itinerary
- October: analysis of results and integration of feedback
- By late 2013: final rehearsal to validate the general timing and organisation in place
• 2014
First real convoys (20 t < US component s < 100 t)

MEASUREMENT & TEST CAMPAIGN
ITER ITINERARY
Remorque autopropulsée Daher :
Self-propelled trailer belonging to the DAHER company comprising 88 axles in 22 lines of 4 rows.
i.e. 352 tyres
Mock-up comprising 360 concrete blocks and a metal framework
Characteristics of trailer + mock-up: Mass = 775 t, H = 10.60 m, L = 33 m, W = 9 m
ITER ITINERARY
Aim of the measurement campaign performed by CETE Méditerranée and covering 19 long-span engineered structures using sensors and instruments: validate the sagging tolerance of structures and design margins
Crossing over each structure three times Closure of roads section by section to conduct the
measurements with the implementation of 15 detours (193 km in total) and a number of by-pass itineraries (involvement of Gendarmerie teams).
