The Accelerator project represents about a third of the total ESS construction budget and several European countries participate as in-kind contributing partners to it. It is crucial to guarantee requirements consistency, clarity of interface definition and proper space allocation. Potential functional and design inconsistencies must be promptly detected and actively resolved, bridging the project from the conceptual design towards a smooth, cost and time effective installation. Moreover, while the correct synergies are established and maintained, the organisational burden has to be minimized, aspect particularly relevant given the intrinsic prototypic nature of projects of this type. This paper describes the system architecture and the tools deployed to integrate the design of the ESS Linear Accelerator and to prepare for its installation.
