Air energy storage in underground tunnels

Can old mine tunnels be reformed into LRCS?

Unlike newly excavated tunnels, old mine tunnels could have served decades of mine life, leading to marginal deformation of surrounding rock that could introduce stress to the lining structure when reformed into LRCs. Second, steel reinforcement has never been considered in these LRC models.
