Intermat boosts demolition focus for 2018

Next year’s Intermat exhibition will feature a themed demolition and recycling village, the organiser has announced.

The show takes place in Paris from April 23 to 28 and the demolition and recycling village – organised in association with the French demolition association SNED – will be located in the centre of the Earthmoving and Demolition hub in Hall 4.

One of four dedicated areas at the construction event, it will provide an exhibition space for equipment, components and new technologies and a discussion area for subjects including waste management, safety and dust suppression.

Also new in time for the exhibition is the Intermat Construction Observatory, produced in partnership with international development agency Business France. It details market opportunities as far as 2025-30 in 12 countries across Europe, Africa and the Middle East and seven business sectors.

Intermat said the Observatory is being launched to “enable constant and regular liaison with application markets and offer both exhibitors and visitors at the show a forward-looking vision of ongoing and future construction and infrastructure projects.”
