In planning, designing, engineering, building and even after their end of lifetime. 3: Innovations in Bridge Engineering are an ongoing process. New materials can play an important role, including environmental considerations. 4: Future vision is that, provided principals are prepared to spend money on research and technical developments, larger spans and lighter bridges are possible. 5: It is imperative that Bridge Engineers, when using new technologies or materials, stay conservative in their approach to apply them. 6: Engineering and architecture must be "hand in glove" disciplines in Bridge building.

	THE BRIDGE MARKET The bridge industry has seen some extreme heights in the year 2004. This became literally a pinacle with the opening of the French Millau Bridge. Several other projects are in process and many exciting projects are in planning. Bridge Engineering today is an international business and requires high technological and advanced engineering skills. An exchange of ideas and know-how is in place and the forum for such an exchange can best be found at a technological event, such as BridgEneering will be. PARTICIPANTS BridgEneering is open to participants from all sectors of the Bridge Engineering industry, covering: Architects, Consultants, Design Engineers, Component Suppliers, Manufacturers, Fabricators and Researchers and all other related activities. Participants can be divided in two categories: Bridge Professionals: * Bridge Consulting & Engineering Firms * Bridge Architects & Design Engineers * Bridge Fabricators & Contractors * Bridge Owners and/or Operators * Bridge Research Institutes Suppliers of Bridge components / systems: * Pre- & Post-Stressing Companies * Lightweight Structural Materials Producers * Bridge-Deck Manufacturers * Cables, Suspension Systems, Dampers etc. * Monitoring Systems * Security Systems * Truck Weighing & Oversize Load Warning Systems * Toll & Access Control Systems * All other related products and services SUPPORTING ORGANISATIONS BridgEneering is supported by COBRAE, the European Composite Bridge Alliance, arranging a session on the subject of “Light Weight Bridge Technology” during the conference. The names of other supporting organisations will be published in the final exhibition announcement, on the free access tickets and on the BridgEneering website.
