The KIVI Geotechnical Board has decided to cancel the planned 25 March AGM. Despite fewer than 100 participants being expected, the board feels that in view of:

  • The non-strict necessity to at short notice an ALV to take place,
  • the constantly changing situation and in particular stricter advice regarding travel and meetings from the RIVM,
  • the strict guidelines (no travelling by public transport, postponing all not strictly necessary consultations) from the companies of potential ALV participants and board members are expected and
  • the risk of immediately having to pay the costs for the ALV while it may no longer take place,

it would be wise to choose a new date on which we can come together as fully as possible.

The board of KIVI Geotechnical Section cordially invites you to The General Assembly on Thursday 26 March 2020. The meeting will take place at the Expo A16 on the Rottebandreef in Rotterdam. During the General Members Meeting, the state of affairs regarding the Geotechnical Division will be explained. The Member Meeting will be combined with a visit to the A16 Rotterdam section and a number of substantive presentations. The afternoon will end with a buffet. The presentations and the construction site visit will be co-hosted by construction consortium De Groene Boog.

The A16 Rotterdam is a new road link between the A13 at Rotterdam The Hague Airport and the A16/A20 at Terbregseplein. The 11 km long A16 Rotterdam will ensure smoother traffic flows on the A13, A20 and surrounding local roads. More information about the project can be found at https://a16rotterdam.nl/default.aspx

The final programme will follow.

Participation is free for KIVI members and students and costs €137.50 for non-members.

We hope to see you on 26 March!

Sincerely yours,
The Board of KIVI Geotechnics
