6 days: 11th - 16th September 2023 @ GTS, Grimsel
Nagra offers a 6-day workshop at the Grimsel Test Site (GTS) on in-situ rock characterisation in underground rock laboratories (URLs). The participants will get hands-on experience on URL field research methods such as handling drill cores, borehole fluid logging and hydraulic testing. The testing will be done in existing boreholes in low permeable and fractured rock.
The course aims to impart both theoretical and practical knowledge. The acquired skills shall help the participants in planning, tendering and carrying out field experiments in URLs. To a certain degree, the imparted topics are translatable to site investigations in general.
