In October 18-29, 2016, IPKON participated in the symposium of The Indonesian Rock Mechanics Society (IRMS) held in Bali. IPKON aimed to contribute to the exchange of knowledge and experiences in the field of rock-anchoring technologies. During the session entitled “Underground opening stability” Bolat Khassen, the director of IPKON, gave a speech on “Inorganic silicate capsules for anchoring in the mines”.

The symposium was a good occasion for IPKON to discuss new developments in green anchoring technologies with colleagues involved in underground mining and companies such as PT Freeport Indonesia, Halarag Baja Utama, Hanesa prima Teknikarya, Geobrugg AG and Normet.
