Short summary
The current site selection process foresees 11 months for the laboratory analysis of geomechanical rock properties. Given the low permeability of claystones, paying heed to the hydromechanical coupling which governs all geomechanical processes slows down the lab experiments on claystones considerably, compared to other rock types. We show how to carefully plan the experiments and how to identify synergies in order to stay within the time frame of the site selection process.
