Non-ACG Events and Courses

The ACG’s associated organisations both in Australia and overseas host events that may be of interest to the global mining community.

Ground Control Group of Western Australia

The Ground Control Group of WA (GCGWA) meets three times a year as an independent and impartial body enabling underground and open pit geotechnical engineers to meet, discuss and exchange ideas, techniques and experiences in a technical yet formal setting. The meetings also provide a forum for attendees to discuss ground conditions specific to their own sites and to seek the opinions and recommendations of others. Please contact GCGWA Chairman Richard Varden for more details.

The next GCGWA meeting will be held in Kalgoorlie on 5th November 2009 at the Western Australian School of Mines. The topic for this meeting will be "Paste Fill".
