The geotechnical team from Warwick University has successfully obtained additional Coal Mining Waste Geomaterial (CMWG) from a local UK site (Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council, Wales) for MINRESCUE project. In the coming months, the CMWG will be mechanically & chemically characterised, and incorporated into higher value-added construction products. The performance of these CMWG-bearing construction products will then be examined carefully in our geotechnical laboratory.
