Big 5 PMV

TAKING place at Airport Expo Dubai from 25-29 November 2007, Big 5 PMV is a new event that aims to capitalize on the soaring demand for construction equipment in the Middle East by providing a showcase for heavy plant, machinery and vehicles.

According to 'Construction World' magazine, in 2005 the UAE’s market for heavy construction machinery stood at US$190 million, road construction machinery at US$176 million and earth moving machinery at US$150 million.

Moreover, growth of 15–20% is forecast over the next five years as developers invest in the extra machinery and equipment needed to build the region’s airports, ports, mega-resorts, theme parks, residential and commercial cities, and vast man-made islands.

As well as utilizing over 10,000 sq m of indoor and outdoor exhibition space, its organizers say Big 5 PMV will also feature a series of free seminars and interactive workshops on topics such as health and safety, specialist construction equipment and techniques, as well as environmental issues.
