2018 NZ Bridges Summit - "I just love Bridging!"

The 6th & 7th of November 2018 saw BAS Expansion Joints (NZ) personnel join hundreds of others including Engineers, Architects, Suppliers and Contractors at the Biennial NZ Bridges 2018 Summit.
This years conference was the largest one yet, with over 200 delegates attending. In our opinion, it was the best one also.

There were a good range of suppliers set up out in the foyer area for the delegates to mix and mingle, networking with all the delegates and other suppliers. There was certainly a buzz about the place as people discussed projects of the past and asked questions about projects coming up.

THE AWARDS DINNER was held on the first night (6th of November) and was the first time it had been held. BASNZ was the enthusiastic sponsor of the "5 Million and above" category, and I (Marcus) had the privilege of announcing the winner and handing out the award to BECA for their involvement at the Waterview Connection project, a deserving winner! Once the formalities were over, the evening continued and was very pleasant. The food was top notch and the wine was flowing  freely, leaving a few people in the morning with self inflicted headaches no doubt!

OVERALL it was an extremely successful event, one we will attend again in the future. We certainly made the most of having Sean and Del from TechStar Inc. available to discuss all the advantages of our Modular Expansion Joints over our competitors. They were extremely engaging talking about some of the massive bridge projects they have been working on (the last one in brunei is over 30km long and has over 1km of modular joint supplied!!!).
