Professional exchange and new ideas – a look back at the 74th Geomechanics Colloquium in Salzburg - Detail - News - Home

As an exhibitor at this renowned industry gathering, we took advantage of the opportunity to engage in intensive professional exchanges and were delighted to have numerous exciting discussions and make new contacts.

From October 9 to 10, 2025, we were represented as exhibitors at the 74th Geomechanics Colloquium 2025 in Salzburg. You could find us at booth O15 on the first floor of the trade exhibition.

Over the past decades, the annual Geomechanics Colloquium has established itself as a central meeting place for experts in Central Europe. With over 900 participants, it is one of the most important international events in the field of geomechanics.

This year, the colloquium once again offered a varied and high-caliber program: exciting technical presentations, interesting workshops, and intensive professional exchanges characterized the two days of the event. The wide range of topics in particular—from geotechnical innovations and practical project presentations to the latest research results—made the Geomechanics Colloquium a real highlight for all participants.

We were particularly pleased to meet numerous colleagues from the fields of geology, geotechnical engineering, and tunnel construction, as well as to see many partners from joint projects again. The exchange with representatives of the regional construction industry provided valuable insights into current developments and future challenges facing the industry.

We would like to thank all visitors to our booth for their great interest and inspiring discussions, and we look forward to seeing you again at the Geomechanics Colloquium 2026!
