Geomechanics assists in evaluating waste storage sites.
Toxic wastes, such as radioactive fuel and CO², can have adverse ecologic and human health impacts if not disposed of safely. Careful evaluation of underground waste storage sites involves understanding the subsurface parameters such as the fault geometry, the natural fracture characteristics, and the potential risk of fault reactivation over time.
IGEOSS uses proven geomechanically-based technologies and sophisticated knowledge to evaluate the safety of waste storage sites by:
