Short summary
The SW-A experiment is a large-scale in situ test at the Mont Terri rock laboratory that implements a vertical hydraulic shaft-sealing system in argillaceous host rock. The response of the system and the surrounding rock to hydration is examined. The experiment objectives are to demonstrate the feasibility of installation, to investigate the saturation process, to qualify measurement and monitoring techniques, and to assess the sealing effectiveness. Recent data and experience are presented.
