  The RAdiation Monitoring System for the Environment and Safety (RAMSES) has been installed and successfully commissioned. The system was originally designed for the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), it was extended to the CNGS and it is also planned to further extend it to the rest of the CERN accelerators. This state-of-the-art radiation monitoring and alarm system provides permanent ambient dose equivalent rates and ambient dose equivalent measurement in the underground areas as well as on the surface inside and outside the CERN perimeter; it permanently monitors air and water released from the LHC and CNGS installations; it also integrates some conventional environmental measurement such as physicochemical parameters of released water. This paper illustrates the experience gained during the various project phases outlining the problems encountered and the solutions implemented. In addition, it gives a first feedback on the operational experience gained with the CNGS.
