Brief Description:

In the restoration works that were carried out in the Roman quarry of Médol (Tarragona), the company EMR, S.L. established a collaboration with the EPSEB-UPC Materials Laboratory, through which an interdisciplinary team has conducted geotechnical, geological and rock alteration studies to be used in the restoration process. The quarry has been enabled to be visited, at least along its perimeter. In order to ensure unstable areas, mortars and concrete should be designed, compatible with the composition of the rocks as well as their chromaticity.
