Abstract

The European Organisation for Nuclear Research (CERN) is planning a Future Circular Collider (FCC), to be the successor of the current Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Significant civil engineering is required to accommodate the physics experiments and associated infrastructure. The 90.6 km, 5.5 m diameter tunnel will be situated in the Geneva region, straddling the Swiss-French border. Civil engineering studies are to incorporate the needs of both the FCC lepton collider (FCC-ee) and the FCC hadron collider (FCC-hh), as the tunnel will host both machines successively.
