'Construct 2005' from August 12 to 14 Sri Lanka's largest ever construction industry related exhibition "Construct 2005" will take place from August 12 to 14 at the Sirimavo Bandaranaike Memorial International Exhibition Centre in Colombo. The prestigious annual exhibition has been organised for the fifth consecutive year by the National Construction Association of Sri Lanka (NCASL) and showcases the achievements of Sri Lanka's construction industry. "Construct 2005" also brings together the entire value chain of the building and construction industry under a common roof for the dissemination and sharing of knowledge in advances made in skills and technology in the industry. It takes on a multi-faceted and greater dimension this year in the aftermath of last December's tsunami disaster. Chairman of the "Construct 2005" Exhibition's Organising Committee Mahanama Jayamanne said that the ensuing rebuilding process had given many opportunities to the local construction industry. He anticipated a soaring demand for building material, equipment and construction technologies in the immediate future, with the envisaged post-tsunami reconstruction work in Sri Lanka. This would in turn necessitate major reconstruction and rehabilitation work in infrastructure, housing and other facilities valued at an approximate USD 1.8 billion. |
