APS Upgrade selected the horizontal injection scheme which requires exchanging the x and y emittances in the BTS transport line through a series of six skew quadrupoles, as well as matching the beam parameters to the APS Upgrade storage ring through two dipoles and a conventional pulsed septum. This paper presents the layout of this BTS line section in the storage ring tunnel and key components in this section including the mechanical design of dipole magnet, quadrupole and skew quad magnets, the vacuum system, the diagnostics system, and the supports. Finally, detailed mechanical design of this BTS line section in modules and some consideration for fabrication and installation are addressed.
