Abstract
- The Target Hill cavern at Fermilab in Illinois is characterised by low rock cover and a final lining of shotcrete. Ground vibrations, noise levels and rock movement were monitored during drilling and blasting to prevent damage to experimental facilities or impacts on surrounding communities and to allow evaluation of cavern performance. The cavern design was based on a UDEC numerical analysis that was validated during construction by comparison with encountered conditions and measured cavern movements.<br />The Target Hill cavern at Fermilab in Illinois is characterised by low rock cover and a final lining of shotcrete.
