The annual short course on grouting fundamentals and current practice was conceived some 40 years ago. After considerable efforts on the part of the organizers and close collaboration with the main sponsors Ernst & Sohn, the short course was held for the first time in Europe. The venue was the Bundeswehr University Munich and comprised three and half days of lectures and an outstanding half-day field session where various specialist contractors demonstrated their expertise in areas such as chemical grouting, grouted anchor load monitoring, sonic drilling, and the use of microfine cement grouts.
