Excavation Materials

Subsurface Data Samples

To support the planning of managing excavated materials and to be able to scout for novel pathways for re-using excavated materials, as data store of subsurface data with a geo data management plan has been established.

Materials in the perimeter of the particle collider project are analysed and the progress and results can be followed at the geo database page.

Introduction

The legal frameworks in both host states require the development of a management plan for the about 9 million cube meters of expected excavated materials.

• France and Switzerland have different documentation structures for the evaluation, analysis and later approval of the strategy of management of excavated material in major excavation and construction projects. The strategy described in the FCC excavated material management plan must be compliant with both Swiss and French planning documents.
• A working group has been created to develop:
  • A template and guideline of the management plan (EDMS N. 2155075 v. 0.8)
  • First version of the strategical management plan that will be in future updated and completed as long as complementary information will be arising from the refinement of the subsurface geological model and socio-economical studies of the region.
