THE BIG 5 HEAVY SHOWCASES TECHNOLOGY SET TO TACKLE WORK-SITE EFFICIENCY

The Big 5 Heavy, the region’s
only event dedicated to the heavy construction industry, returns to Dubai World
Trade Centre from 25 – 28 November 2019.

The role of technology on today’s
construction sites is becoming more prevalent as project owners race against
time constraints and increasing demand for cost efficiency. In response, The Big 5 Heavy exhibition will return this November with an all-new
product sector dedicated to Construction Technology.

The Big 5 Heavy will host exhibitors across four
more product sectors including Plant Machinery Vehicles, Lifting, Materials
Handling & Transportation, Subsurface, Quarrying & Mining, and Site
Equipment.

Event Director for The Big 5 Heavy, Richard Pavitt
comments: “The heavy construction
market is becoming increasingly reliant on software platforms that save time
and cost at the beginning of build, and that create efficiencies for the full
lifecycle of projects thereafter.”

“With the introduction of
the Construction Technology sector at The Big 5 Heavy, we will bring together
solution providers that are best in class from around the world, to help
contractors across the Middle East adopt new industry standards as soon as
building begins”. 
          

Market heavyweights including Trimble, Tenstar
Simulation AB, Command Alkon, and A and Z Technologies will be exhibiting in
the new product sector at The Big 5 Heavy, bringing with them a wealth of
solutions relating to 3D Printing, Drones and Surveillance, Site Mapping,
Robotics, Thermal Imaging, Virtual Reality Trainings and much more.

To complement construction technology products on
display at the event, The Big 5 Heavy will also feature the first-ever
Geospatial Leaders’ Conference which will directly address the real-life
application of solutions connected to surveying, tracking, mapping and virtual
designing of worksites.

Regional Director at Trimble, Andrew Caldwell will
be speaking at the conference which is held on the last two days of the event.
He said: “We want our customers to
do more than just purchase new technology – we want them to know how to use it
to full capacity. We are adopting a more consultative approach with clients to
address this, and The Big 5 Heavy is the ideal platform to showcase this
initiative.

“Educating customers
really is a means to ensuring that our products succeed in making their
businesses more productive and more profitable.”

In 2018, The Big 5 Heavy was situated alongside
Middle East Concrete, giving visitors access to all infrastructure products and
solutions under one roof. The two events welcomed more than 19,000 visitors and
played host to over 300 exhibitors from 132 countries – the two events will again
run side by side.

The Big 5 Heavy and Middle East Concrete are co-located with The Big 5, HVAC R Expo, Middle East Stone, The Big 5 Solar, and Urban Design & Landscape Expo – together transforming Dubai World Trade
Centre into the global hub for the construction industry from 25 -28 November
2019.
