Hello,
I had an renovation and after this also a translation of my NMRs into
a new place.
We used our AC 250's and DRX600 also during the renovation.
We had a wooden hut in the building - with some stuff to keep the temperature
in there stable. Making a big noise.
We had some troubles, with overheating the huts and also a not safely
closed water valve dropping down directly on my spectrometer. The HPPR/2
HF-boxes are covered with water the next Monday morning. One of the constructers
has to pay for the break down.
A big concern are vibrations. Someone got troubles and one spacer stick
inside the vacuum part was broken in the Oxford magnet. Only a replacement
of the magnet solved the problem.
We transported our magnets (also unshielded and shielded ones through
our elevator) Only our 600 MHz SpectroSpin magnet was the magnetic field shut
down and was kept cool during the translation from different floors to ground.
In nowadays this is absolutely forbidden and not practicable. But a decade ago
it was possible.
Dust and dirt are the main problems. We also put some spectrometers down.
We moved the electronics into a safe place and shielded the unshielded magnet
with a wooden cabinet. During this time I filled the magnet once a week with
liquid nitrogen and also in the correct times - also with liquid helium. Keeping
all the systems running during this break. Its a big task to do this - but
it worked.
Good luck!
Yours sincerely,

Have any of you undergone major building
renovations and how did you handle this in your NMR facility? I'm would like some advice from those who have gone through this process.
I'm unclear just how gutted the building is planned to be, but I believe it will be a fairly major renovation including HVAC and chilled water, etc. so I'm not sure how the facility can coexist during the process.
This is many years ahead, but I would like to advise the department on the impact to the NMR facility which obviously can't just be moved to another temporary location.
Best
