The 2nd Geosynthetics in Road Construction conference will be held 19 May 2017 in Moscow at the InterContinental Moscow Tverskaya. The international event follows last year’s successful debut for the event, which is helping introduce wider discussion and adoption of geosynthetics in the large Russian transportation engineering market. It is also helping better link international countries with partners in Russia and facilitating international technology transfer.
Major sponsors for the event include Bohnenkamp, Maccaferri, and Thrace Group.
