Dear tunnelling & underground construction experts,
During the last year there has been vast movement within the
Indian tunnelling and underground construction industry, a
number of new tenders have been allocated, construction
work has been actively on going and several major tunnelling
projects have been completed.
Further, with the announcement of the Planning Commission’s
12th Five Year Plan and the government’s increase in infrastructure
investment, this is a vital time to exchange ideas, hear about active
tunnelling projects, learn about the current issues and review the
latest technological advances within the industry.
IQPC welcomes your involvement and is proud to announce the
second instalment of Tunnels & Underground Construction India,
which will be taking place from the 12th - 14th December 2011. Key
influential leaders within the industry shall be present, engaging in
topical discussions that are currently impacting the market.
Many of you found last year’s summit informative and were keen
to take part in even more interactive sessions. Therefore, this
year we are increasing the number of round table discussions
and enhancing our workshops in order to incorporate more
focused discussions.
We would be delighted to see you there and encourage your
active involvement in the panel discussions.
I hope you enjoy reading this year’s agenda and workshop
programme and I look forward to seeing you in December.

When the Indian government announced further investment in
infrastructure in their 12th Five Year Plan, substantial growth
further increased in the planning of tunnels and underground
projects within the rail, road, sewage and hydropower sectors.
This has resulted in an unprecedented demand for further
awareness on leading-edge machinery and technology available
in the market; and a greater demand to learn about the latest
safety technologies from world-class experts in the field of
tunnelling.
As we approach the end of the 11th Five Year Plan and enter into
the first year of the 12th Five Year Plan, the next few months are
critical to distinguish how we can improve and learn from the past
experiences in tunnel and underground construction.
Last year’s summit was a great success with numerous attendees
exchanging contact details and tendering opportunities.
This year the summit intends to encourage key industry leaders to
engage in simulating knowledge sharing discussions both on a
strategic and technical level. There will be in-depth presentations
reviewing current issues projects are facing.
Further, there will be numerous interactive sessions with key
industry experts actively reviewing the latest technological
advances available within the industry. Thus, building towards
and encouraging effective and long lasting industry relationships.
