Abstract
The selection of the geophysical measurements utilized for the fracture classification was based on the results of the previous geophysical investigations in the test holes.
The connections between the boreholes are evaluated from dipmeter data, crossholeseismic data and from charged potential cross-correlation data. The hydraulic conductivities of fracture zones and rock-blocks between them and the fracture apertures are calculated from water-injection test data.

N2 - In order to determine the most suitable location for a set of rock caverns, the fracturing of a rapakivi granite block is studied in three dimensions. Five vertical, 200 m deep boreholes (ø = 66mm) were drilled for this purpose.The selection of the geophysical measurements utilized for the fracture classification was based on the results of the previous geophysical investigations in the test holes.The connections between the boreholes are evaluated from dipmeter data, crossholeseismic data and from charged potential cross-correlation data. The hydraulic conductivities of fracture zones and rock-blocks between them and the fracture apertures are calculated from water-injection test data.
