PREVIEW | NORDIC GROUTING 2023
GROUTING FOCUS IN STOCKHOLM
The second half of the year’s tunnelling industry events commence with the latest Nordic Grouting Symposium to be held in Stockholm, over two days and packing in a course plus site visits
Over 11-13 September, Stockholm will be host city to the 10th Nordic Grouting Symposium. The event is being organised by Svenska Bergteknikföreningen (SVB – the Swedish Rock Engineering Association). Themes for the latest symposium are: concepts and
design for grouting; grouting materials; requirements and verifications; grouting equipment; grouting of soil- rock-concrete interfaces; contracts and compensation; and, case studies. The venue is the Hilton Stockholm Slussen, in the
centre of the capital, where the organisers have arranged rates for delegates.
PROGRAMME
Course & Technical Tours The main symposium gathering is preceded, on 11 September, by a one-day grouting course – Practical Usage of Grouting Fundamentals. The course is being hosted at the Trafikverket’s (Swedish Transport Administration) project site at Lovö on the Stockholm Bypass. Stockholm Bypass is also the focus of the
symposium’s first technical tour, in the afternoon, at the site. The second technical tour – to the expanding underground metro – will take place the following day, on 12 September, after the first busy day of the symposium programme.
Technical Programme Keynote speakers at the symposium are Håkan Stille, of Geokonsult Stille AB, and Knut Garshol, of K. Garshol Rock Engineering Ltd.
42 | August 2023
Stille is to speak in his morning keynote, after the
Opening Ceremony, on the topic ‘Transformation of grouting from black magic to art of engineering’. Following two technical sessions that first day of
the symposium, the afternoon’s proceedings are to hear the keynote by Garshol on the topic ‘Challenges of grouting for groundwater control in hard rock tunnelling’. Afterward, while some delegates can join in the
technical workshop, others can opt for the metro site visit.
In total, the symposium has five technical sessions,
arranged to the main themes of the event. Two technical sessions are to be held on the first day of the symposium (12 September), and three on the last day (13 September). In the following summary list, the proposed grouting
papers to be presented relate to tunnels only or general interest of grouting (the symposium has a few more papers planned for presentation but while technically of interest there are no tunnels involved, such as a geotechnical focus on foundations for a dam and, offshore, a floating terminal). For reasons of space, only the name of the lead author
(as provided by the organiser) is listed along with the title of the paper to be presented.
