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 />
