Dates confirmed for INTERtunnel 2010 in Moscow
Dates have been confirmed for INTERtunnel 2010. The third in this series of highly successful exhibitions of tunnelling technology, equipment and services will take place at Moscow’s Expocentr from 17 to 19 March 2010. Now well established in Russia, the show provides a unique international showcase for the very latest in systems for constructing, equipping and operating tunnels and underground spaces.
Held with the support of Russian Tunnelling Association and the Ministry of Transport, INTERtunnel takes place during a period of development of the country’s infrastructure that entails numerous major tunnelling projects. Also endorsing INTERtunnel 2010 is the International Transport Academy and the Department for Transport and Infrastructure of the Government of Moscow.
The 2010 event will build on the very positive industry response to the two previous INTERtunnel shows in Moscow, the most recent of which took place in March this year. Visitor numbers to that event and the accompanying Exporail exhibition of railway technology and services reached a new record of some 3,000 engineers, infrastructure specialists and senior rail and transport industry professionals from 29 countries. Exhibitors at the combined 2009 shows totalled 150, around two-thirds of them from outside Russia.
Taking place alongside INTERtunnel 2010 will be a high-level international conference covering aspects of transport policy and infrastructure development in Russia. This will be organised with the assistance of the Russian Tunnelling Association and the International Transport Academy.
The Russian capital’s prestigious Expocentr remains the venue for INTERtunnel 2010, which again will be staged in Hall 5 of the new Pavilion 7. Exporail 2010 will take place alongside INTERtunnel.
Both INTERtunnel and Exporail are organised by Restec Brooks Exhibitions, a joint venture of Mack Brooks Exhibitions Ltd in the United Kingdom and the St Petersburg-based Restec Exhibition Company.

Tunneling Shows
Some 3,000 transport and tunnelling industry professionals visited Exporail 2009 and INTERtunnel 2009, which took place successfully at Moscow’s Expocentr from 18 to 20 March. This represents an increase of 18% compared to the number attending the last joint event in October 2007.
While most show visitors came from the Russian Federation, nearly 20% were from a further 32 countries, underlining the growing international significance of these two exhibitions.
And at a total figure of 150, exhibitor numbers were also 20% up on the 2007 shows. Around two-thirds of the organisations taking part were from various European countries, with the remainder from Russia. High-level support for Exporail was provided by Russian Railways (RZD) and the International Transport Academy, while INTERtunnel had the backing of the Russian Tunnelling Association.
Activities taking place alongside Exporail included an Open Dialogue Sessions Programme addressing the theme ‘The Railway Industry: From Investments to Technologies’. This featured contributions from key policy makers and industry figures from Russia and beyond.
More than 100 delegates attended a one-day INTERtunnel conference organised with the support of the Russian Tunnelling Association. Topics that included transport development in more challenging economic times were discussed.
Exporail 2009 and INTERtunnel 2009 were organised by Restec Brooks Exhibitions, a joint venture of Mack Brooks Exhibitions Ltd in the United Kingdom and the St Petersburg-based Restec Exhibition Company.
The 4th Exporail and the 3rd INTERtunnel exhibitions will take place at Moscow’s Expocentr from 17 to 19 March 2010. Both events will have the support of RZD, the Russian Tunnelling Association, the Department for Transport and Infrastructure of the Government of Moscow, and the International Transport Academy.
