On behalf of the Ingeokring Board and TU Delft, we are pleased to announce the 2019 Ingeokring Autumn Symposium dedicated to:
“Post-mining risk management in the Netherlands”
Date: Friday 15 November 2019, 13:00 to 17:10
Location: TU Delft, Faculty of Civil Engineering and Geosciences, room 1.98, Stevinweg 1, 2628 CN Delft
Four keynote speakers will focus on risk identification and prevention activities to ensure the safety of decommissioned coal mining sites in Limburg:
▪ 13:40 “The legacy of coal mining in Limburg” by ir. Hans Roest, Staatstoezicht op de Mijnen
▪ 14:30 “Dealing with Post-Mining-Hazards. From theoretical approach to practical remediation” by dr. Johannes Klünker, Ingenieursbüro Heitfeld-Schetelig GmbH, Aachen, Germany

Then, a one hour discussion will be broaden to post-mining risk management for new resource extractions in the Netherlands.
The symposium will close at 17:10, and will be followed by drinks.
We trust the symposium will give an interesting and objective insight into “subsurface aftercare” in the Netherlands.
