About the conference

The Norwegian Group for Rock Mechanics (NBG) have the pleasure to announce that the 11th Nordic Grouting Symposium will take place 26. - 28. of January 2027 in Stavanger, Norway.

We hereby invite our Nordic colleagues to present papers, exchange experiences and discuss the latest development in Rock Grouting amongst like-minded.

The 11th Nordic Grouting Symposium (NGS 2027) is, hosted by the The Norwegian Group for Rock Mechanics. The two-day technical program focused on rock grouting, including environmental aspects, new methods, and case studies, with pre-conference excursions.

Rock Grouting has a long history starting with dam construction and rehabilitation to challenging ground improvement for mining, tunnelling, rock mechanics and environmental remediation. Rock grouting is typically performed to reduce the hydraulic conductivity of, or more appropriately, across a rock mass by injection of grout into the rock´s joints and fissures.

Symposium Themes:
- Urban tunneling and sensitive surroundings
- Digital tools for planning, execution and verification
- Grouting in practice: Procedure and execution
- Innovative approaches
- Sustainable methods and materials
- Grouting in TBM hard rock tunneling
- Grouting in shafts, caverns, plugs, dams
