The IQ Midlands branch is pleased to support the Quarries National Joint Advisory Committee (QNJAC). In collaboration with the Extractive Industry Geology Conferences, the QNJAC Geotechnical Subcommittee will be hold an evening workshop titled, The Future of Our Profession for geologists and geotechnical specialists working within the extractive industry.
Doors will open at 17:30 for a 18:00 start and close at 20:00. The evening workshop will take place in the evening prior to the one-day Extractive Industry Geology conference. It is free to attend and open to all. The Future of Our Profession Workshop has been organised to debate three pressing hot topics that are currently impacting our profession:
1. Do we need to design excavations and tips to Eurocode and if so, how?
2. Do we need a professional register for Geologists/Geotechnical Specialists?
3. 25 years following the Quarry Regulations, what geotechnical matters should the QNJAC Geotechnical Subcommittee focus on?
This is your opportunity to engage with and help shape the future of our profession. This part of the conference is free to attend and has been kindly sponsored by GEARS and GWP.
Speakers: Rob Palmer (Chair QNJAC Geotechnical Group) – Tarmac
