Underground platform for geotechnical and risk management tests in cavities

Ineris has developed a platform dedicated to geotechnical tests and to the management of risks linked to the presence of cavities. This platform is located inside the former limestone cave of Saint Maximin (Oise, France), which was exploited using the room-and-pillar mining method.

There Ineris carries out studies on the stability of underground engineering structures as well as on deformation and rupture mechanisms through rock complexes. Experiments are also led to tests in real conditions some tools and methods used for the risk management, such as wall stabilization, landfilling, or monitoring.
