TRENCHLESS ASIA 2008<br />

Set for April in China<br />

TRENCHLESS ASIA is clearly established<br />

as the region’s largest and most<br />

important meeting for trenchless technology<br />

professionals and the third international<br />

event to be held in Shanghai,<br />

April 16-18,2008,is expected to surpass<br />

the two previous successful shows held<br />

in 2004 and 2006.<br />

As little as 10 years ago, conventional<br />

open-cut methods were widely used for<br />

the underground utility installation and<br />

refurbishment in mainland China. The<br />

rapid growth in population, coupled<br />

with the aging underground utility services,inspired<br />

engineers to study the benefits<br />

of trenchless technology. Today,<br />

China is the fastest growing worldwide<br />

market,with huge potential for overseas<br />

exporters.<br />

Trenchless technology is known to be<br />

used in more than 100 cities in China,<br />

with particular emphasis in Shanghai,<br />

Beijing and Guangzhou. The country’s<br />

achievements are competing at world<br />

levels, undertaking some of the most<br />

ambitious projects in terms of complexity,<br />

diameter and distance. The biggest<br />

HDD in the world is also now in China.<br />

As Beijing is set for the 2008 Summer<br />

Olympic Games, Shanghai prepares for<br />

the World Expo in 2010 and<br />

Guangzhou for the Asian Games in the<br />

same year, these major international<br />

events along with many other major<br />

projects provide evidence that the<br />

construction boom will continue for<br />

the foreseeable future. 2010 is also<br />

China’s target to realise the first stage<br />

of the modernisation process to meet<br />

the exploding urban population.<br />

TRENCHLESS ASIA 2008 provides a<br />

timely focus for the industry to display<br />

the world’s finest range of equipment<br />

and services used in the installation,<br />

repair and refurbishment of urban utility<br />

pipelines.<br />
