Filipp Kalach: ‘We went straight to the exhibition from the airport, and we were shocked by its size. The area of ten football fields was occupied with construction equipment pavilions of 3 615 companies from 62 countries’.
Denis Ignatov, fifth-year student: ‘Our prior interest was geotechnical equipment. We received a warm welcome from BAUER, LIEBHERR and SOILMEC representatives and had an excursion in Russian where they showed us their pavilions and told about the companies’ achievements. We learned lots of useful information; such exhibitions may be compared with professional development courses’.
