Stepwise Hydrogeological Characterisation Utilising a Geosynthesis Methodology – a Case Study from the Mizunami Underground Research Laboratory Project
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Mizunami Underground Research Laboratory (“MIU”) is now under construction by Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) in the Cretaceous Toki granite in the Tono area of central Japan. One of the main goals of the MIU project, which is a broad scientific study of the deep geological environment as a basis of research and development for geological disposal of nuclear wastes, is to establish comprehensive techniques for the investigation, analysis and assessment of the deep geological environment in fractured crystalline rock. For this purpose, a geosynthesis methodology has been developed and will be tested in a dry run to determine if it produces the data required for repository design and associated integrated safety assessment modelling.

Site characterisation is a very complex, multidisciplinary process that may extend over many years and involve development of an optimised programme that balances the diverse – and often contradictory – requirements of the many specialists involved in this work. To make things even more difficult, the end users who use this input to steer repository implementation programmes – the designers of ...
متن کاملApproaches for Modelling Transient Unsaturated-saturated Groundwater Flow during and after Construction
Construction of underground research laboratories and geological disposal facilities has a significant transient impact on groundwater flow, leading to a drawdown in the water table and groundwater pressures, and groundwater inflow into shafts, access ways and tunnels accompanied by desaturation of the surrounding rock. Modelling the impact of underground facilities on groundwater flow is impor...

a r t i c l e i n f o A work breakdown structure (WBS) can prove to be pivotal to successful project management planning. There are few published studies about the methodologies or tools to develop the appropriate WBS for a project, and those that are available are limited to the specific areas of construction such as apartment-building construction and boiler manufacturing. This research has a...

The most important aim of every project is on time completion, budget consideration and reaching the highest possible quality, based on contract. This paper suggests a methodology for risk management in engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) projects. Risk management enables project teams to perform with minimum deviation from predetermined goals. The proposed methodology identifies a...
متن کاملEvaluation of Quantitative Impact of Watershed Management Projects on Underground water Level (Case Study: Jamab Project)
Performance and control are two important components in any executive activity and their purposes are to correct and improve the functions and reduce wasting resources for better productivity and adoption of appropriate techniques that ultimately lead to the development of programs. Therefore, the present study aimed to simulate underground water flow and investigate the effects of artificial ...
