GeoME 2013 Doubles Exhibition Space
Due to the increased attraction from international companies and a sold out technical exhibition in 2012, we have once again doubled our exhibition space.
National and international companies will showcase their services and products in: Geotextiles, Geomembranes, Geosynthetic Clay Liners, Geogrids, Geocomposites, Geocells, Geopipes, Water Management Systems, Leachate Collection Systems, Irrigation Solutions, Erosion Control, and more.
