“As the social and environmental costs of engineering works are closely scrutinised, the use of Trenchless (No-Dig) Techniques continues to become a preferred option for the installation, rehabilitation and replacement of underground utilities.”

TRENCHLESS ASIA 2008 will be the third international exhibition and conference to be held in Shanghai and follows the highly successful appearances in 2004 and 2006. This event is part of a worldwide series, appearing in Singapore, Hong Kong, Cairo, Dubai and Shanghai.

The business opportunities in this specialised market are huge and for this reason alone, TRENCHLESS ASIA 2008 returns to Shanghai. Many foreign companies are already exploiting the enormous potential for business in this exciting market and this is an unparalleled opportunity to make an impact at this premier event.

“As the social and environmental costs of engineering works are closely scrutinised, the use of Trenchless (No-Dig) Techniques continues to become a preferred option for the installation, rehabilitation and replacement of underground utilities.”

CHINA IS THE FASTEST GROWING WORLDWIDE MARKET
As little as 10 years ago, traditional open cut methods were widely used for underground utility installation and refurbishment in mainland China. The rapid growth in population, coupled with the ageing of underground utility services, inspired engineers to study the benefits of trenchless technology. Today, China is the fastest growing worldwide market for trenchless methods, with huge potential for overseas exporters.

Trenchless technology is known to be used in more than 100 cities in China, with particular emphasis in Shanghai, Beijing and Guangzhou. The country’s achievements are competing at world levels, undertaking some of the most ambitious projects in terms of complexity, diameter and distance. The biggest HDD installation in the world is also now in China.

As Beijing is set for the 2008 Summer Olympic Games, Shanghai prepares for the World Expo in 2010 and Guangzhou for the Asian Games in the same year, these major international events along with many other major projects provide evidence that the construction boom will continue for the foreseeable future. 2010 is also China’s target to realise the first stage of the modernisation process to meet the exploding urban population.

TRENCHLESS ASIA 2008 is the third international exhibition and conference to be held in Shanghai and follows two highly successful appearances in 2004 and 2006. This event is part of a worldwide series, appearing in Singapore, Hong Kong, Cairo, Dubai and Shanghai.
