is the international professional body for quarrying, construction
materials and the related extractive and processing industries, with
5,252 members in some 50 countries of the world.

long-term objective is to promote progressive improvements in all aspects
of operational performance through the medium of education and training at
supervisory and management level.
The
Institute provides education and continual professional development
through conferences, seminars, training courses, workshops, technical
meetings, and site visits.
In addition
to these the Institute issues a
monthly journal to all members, and offers
a number of
textbooks, which can be purchased directly from the
Institute's head office in Nottingham.
