G3Dv2_0405, fractures in base Fm Aachen

This layer shows the location of the modelled fractures in the base of the Fm Aachen. Most fractures occur in the deep subsoil, with the number of fractures continuing upwards in stratigraphy systematically decreasing depth. There are thus a significant number of fractures in the Devoon and Carboon, which are already lower in the Krijt, in the Paleogen and Neogen, and only a few major fractures (especially in and around the Roerdalslenk) are still present in the Quartair, linked to deep (re) fractures. The Geological 3D model was drawn up under the Flemish Government’s management agreement with VITO, known as VLAKO, on behalf of the Department of LNE – Land and Soil Protection Division, Subsoil, Natural Resources.
