It is with pleasure that Fleming Gulf presents the Regions premier event - APAC Tunnels & Bridges Conference 2015, to be held in Kuala Lumpur from the 15 -16 April 2015. As Asia Pacific region is pressured by unprecedented economic growth, exponentially growing populations, social progress, severe congestion and cultural development. Key infrastructure projects, such as superhighways, tunnels, bridges & express rail links, will play an important role in integrating local and regional development. Revamping and replacing the existing infrastructure has taken top priority for governments across the region. According to a recent report by ADB, it is estimated that approximately USD8trillion will be utilized in the next 10 years, of which approximately 68% of this amount will be allocated to infrastructure development. The balance will be to maintain the old age infrastructure. The conference will bring together the experts from tunnels and bridges to this event to discuss various aspects including best practise’s and new design concepts. •

Building more efficient tunnels and bridges

•

Bringing development to remote areas for economic success

•

Addressing complex engineering challenges

The agenda is packed with in-depth real life case studies of ongoing and completed projects, keynote presentations and interactive panel discussions. Take this opportunity to meet and discuss with industry captains crucial issues on how to seize new opportunities.
