The region’s only event dedicated to designing, planning and delivering sustainable bridges

Following the phenomenal success of IQPC’s global Bridges series, including two regional summits, we are delighted to announce the third Bridges Middle East summit will take place under the patronage of Abu Dhabi Municipality and the official support of Ministry of Public Works, Kuwait on 24-27 October 2010 in Abu Dhabi.

While it has been a challenging year for the construction industry, bridges in the Middle East region are still being built in far greater numbers than ever before. As the Middle East develops, the number of technical and design challenges for bridge construction also increases. Bridges Middle East 2010 will offer a platform for all stakeholders in the value chain, from bridge design and planning to construction and maintenance, to discuss and exchange best practices and ensure the quality, safety, sustainability and durability of the next generation of bridges.

Key issues to be addressed include:

  • Explore the latest bridge developments and plans within the Middle East region
  • Review the latest technologies available for cost and time effective construction
  • Highlight the latest practices and future trends in bridge design, construction and maintenance
  • Learn how to minimise delays, disruption and environmental impacts related to bridge construction
  • Examine essential case studies from iconic bridges to regular flyovers

New for 2010:

  • More representatives from GCC Government authorities
  • More focus on the region’s strategic vision and planning regarding infrastructures projects
  • More knowledge sharing on bridge sustainability and durability
  • More analyses on bridge maintenance and monitoring
