Summary
This report summarises the results from the pilot project with Statens Vegvesen to evaluate the potential for mineral characterisation and to map and quantify clay minerals with swelling potential in drill cores using hyperspectral imaging. Eight core boxes from the Heggdal core KBH1, drilled for the infrastructure project E136 Vik–Julbøen (Vestnes, Møre og Romsdal) have been selected. The core boxes have been scanned with the core hyperspectral imaging system at NGU using a SisuRock scanning system equipped with two hyperspectral image cameras measuring within the visible near-infrared (VNIR, 400-1000nm) and short-wave infrared (SWIR, 1000-2500nm) spectral range.
