The co-located Bridges
India 2015 show aims to bring
together key project stakeholders with the objective of bridging the gaps in
project execution, efficiency, and sustainability in the construction of bridges
while addressing various daunting engineering challenges.
Yogesh Mudras, Acting Managing Director, UBM India said,
"India's need for infrastructure development is well supported by the
Union Government's big push for the sector. From roadways, railways to airports
and other smart-city initiatives, the last few years have witnessed a
phenomenal growth in the sector, leading to world-class facilities coming up
across the country. Furthermore, with India being the fourth largest and probably
the second-fastest growing economy, and infrastructure being one of the cornerstones,
the Indian construction industry value is estimated to be more than $126 billion.
Against this landscape, we believe that the Concrete Show India
2015 along with the new addition of Bridges India 2015 will prove to be a
catalyst to the opportunities existing in India's rapidly growing concrete
market."

discuss and deliberate on industry topics. The Concrete Show conference on day
one will cover topics such as: Concrete High Rises - Future trends,
