As communicated before, the Ingeokring excursion for July 1st 2017 has found it’s final form. This day (1 day instead of 2 day-excursions in the previous years) willl consist of 2 underground guided tours and a few surface outcrop visits. In these visits the historic mining of the Limburg area and specifically the rock mechanics in the underground mines will be the central theme. The combination of underground tours and the surface outcrops near Maastricht will make this a very interesting day.

The full program can be found:

Ingeokring activities planned for 2017:

• March 2017 – Call for papers for the yearly symposium in November
• 17th of May 2017 17:30 ALV – General member Meeting Ingeokring in Delft, followed by an excursion to the High pressure/temperature rock lab at the TU. Invitation and final program will be sent at a later date
• 1st of July 2017 – Excursion Pillar Stability in Southern Limburg, combined with a further study of the regional mining history by visits to a choice of museums, to be determined at a later stage: “Steenkolenmijn” in Valkenburg, the mine-museum in Heerlen, C-Mine in Genk or the Flemmish mining museum in Beringen)
• October 2017 – CPD-course Rock Mass Classification for Rock Engineering Projects. Visit to some unique outcrops with a (refresh) course in the most recent rock mass classification methodology. Date and application will follow
• 24th November 2017 –  The yearly symposium of Ingeokring titled: Digital Data in Engineering Geology

Culture Centre Delft University of Technology, 18 November 2016
The symposium was very well attended. More people than the attendance limit, which was set at 100, were present. Apart from a considerable number of members of the Ingeokring, a large part of the audience existed of scientists and engineers that came especially for the subject matter.

On behalf of the Organizing Committee, I would like to express my appreciation for the great interest received for this event.

Due to time constraints we had to limit the amount of oral presentations. The scientific review committee made a selection of eight contributions to be presented at the Symposium. The remaining contributors were invited to write articles to be included in the 2016 Issue from the INGEOKRING Newsletter, together with the ones presented during the Symposium.
