CRIEPI’s goal for the 2011/2012 project phase is to measure fracture aperture distributions. Resin will be injected into the boreholes at the GTS to impregnate and stabilise the fracture surfaces. Samples from one of the target fracture zones will be excavated with the overcoring method and transported to the laboratory for analysis.
