The Highway and Utility Contractors Issues Meeting

This meeting is the premier national event for contractors and related businesses involved in every aspect of highway and utility construction to hear about and discuss issues and trends in these markets. Attendees will receive an update on legislation and legal decisions that affect the highway and utility markets, including the re-authorization of SAFETEA-LU and the creation of a Clean Water Trust Fund. Updates on the Recovery Act and pending regulatory action are also on the agenda. New to this conference, this year we will be offering separate Utility and Highway tracks that will converge with issues that affect both types of contractors. Contractors interested in virtual construction and its growing place in the market will learn how horizontal BIM works and how to integrate it with construction equipment. In addition, attendees will also receive a briefing on the status of the CARB rule and other diesel retrofit requirements and opportunities. Contractors interested in the opportunities presented by the increased interest by the Administration on High-Speed Rail will also find something.
