  In the frame­work of the CERN Large Hadron Col­lider In­jec­tors Up­grade (LIU) Pro­ject, the Pro­ton Syn­chro­tron (PS) has been equipped with two new mov­able In­ter­nal Dumps (PSID), each of them ca­pa­ble of ab­sorb­ing par­ti­cle beams of an en­ergy of up to 100 kJ. These dumps re­place the old In­ter­nal Dumps, which have been op­er­ated in the ac­cel­er­a­tor com­plex since their in­stal­la­tion in 1975 until their de­com­mis­sion­ing and re­moval from the ma­chine dur­ing the sec­ond LHC Long Shut down (LS2). This con­tri­bu­tion will ad­dress the con­struc­tion and test­ing phases of the new PSIDs, in­clud­ing the as­sem­bly of the dump core, its ac­tu­a­tion sys­tem and the re­spec­tive shield­ing, me­chan­i­cal run­ning-in tests, metrol­ogy ad­just­ments, Ul­tra-High Vac­uum (UHV) and im­ped­ance ac­cep­tance tests. The de­scribed in­stal­la­tion work was com­pleted suc­cess­fully, and the new gen­er­a­tion Dumps are cur­rently op­er­a­tional in the PS ma­chine.
