Construction industry puts on impressive show in Dubai
Serious business - with building project worth billions of dollars under way, the Big 5 PMV is a key event for the regional construction industry.
With billions of dollars worth of building projects under way in the Middle East, the construction industry is putting on a huge show of resilience in Dubai this week – helped by some of the best movers and shakers in the business.
Worldwide suppliers of plant, construction vehicles, machinery and equipment were locked in serious discussions with buyers as the Big 5 PMV entered its second day today, with the international trade event also showing a “lighter” side.
The UK-based Diggerland JCB Stunt Team – better known as the “Dancing Diggers” – have quickly become show favorites at Dubai International Convention and Exhibition Centre with their expertly choreographed “formation dancing” to music.
Comprising five giant JCB diggers and a mini Bobcat loader, this powerful line-up of mechanical muscle display the kind of versatility which makes them vital to operations on building sites across the region, and around the world.
With almost 3,400 civil building projects worth around US$1.35 trillion in progress in the Middle East, major orders are expected for much of the massive plant, vehicles, machinery and equipment on show at the Big 5 PMV before the curtain comes down on Thursday evening.
