Expo-Tunnel

The first edition of Expo-Tunnels will be held simultaneously with the 2nd International Seminar on Tunneling and ITS Applications. The meeting will be the ideal ground where the equipment companies and service firms may show and discuss on the technological advances and product trends, along with services and ancillary systems now available in the national and international markets, covering the construction and exploitation of tunnels and ITS systems.

Stands will be allocated strategically so as to have an easy interaction among visitors to the showplace, firm representatives and seminar presenters.

Expo-Tunnel is aimed at all those interested parties involved in planning, development, execution, maintenance and operation of tunneling projects and ITS applications, be them from public or private sectors, from all over the world. Special invitation is extended to national, provincial and regional entities as decision makers of works dealing with urban, metropolitan and inter-urban traffic commuting and other tunnel engineering needs. Investment parties, suppliers, transport firms, engineers, field-related professionals and technicians are also eagerly encouraged to attend and participate in this event.

This synergy between the Seminar en the Expo-Tunnel exhibition will allow the participants and decision makers to delve into field problems and their possible solutions, a well as to gain knowledge on a broad range of tunneling and ITS products, systems and services designed to improve the construction methods of tunnels, increase safety levels for users and pimize overall tunnel management.
