HEAVY USA is Heavy Lift & Transport for Energy 2010, a major annual conference for owners and contractors working on energy generation projects.  It’s taking place in Houston, on April 28 and 29.  The event is unique in that it brings together EPC (engineering, procurement, and construction) contractors, shippers, manufacturers, energy companies and state authorities under one roof.  With its focus on energy, HEAVY USA is the only event that bestows the most cutting-edge approaches to the heavy lift-haul in renewable and nuclear power projects.

"In this current market environment, bauma 2010 more than ever is an important indicator for future developments. We are particularly pleased, therefore, that despite the start-up problems caused by force majeur, increasingly more major customers have arrived here since Wednesday. Next to our European customers, this is true primarily for visitors from the Middle East, Africa and partly also from South-East Asia. We have concluded good business deals here and look forward to the rest of the week with great optimism."
