ICUEE

ICUEE 2019 is just a month and a half away: don't miss this largest ever utility construction industry gathering with more new and expanded events. 

The rise in underground utility projects is good news for contractors across the country. However, whether it be due to fiber build-out or aging infrastructure replacement, this growth requires underground utility contractors to find and employ more horizontal directional drill (HDD) operators. This demand has resulted in a shortage of qualified, skilled and confident operators in the underground construction industry.

Registration is officially open for 2019 ICUEE-The Demo Expo, set for October 1–3 at the Kentucky Exposition Center in Louisville, KY.  

JCB has confirmed that the Teleskid, Hydradig 110W tool carrier, 3CX Compact backhoe loader and 48Z-1 compact excavator, will be on display at the 2017 International Construction and Utility Equipment Exposition (ICUEE) in Louisville, Kentucky, from October 3-5. The company will also demonstrate its 509-45 Loadall telescopic handler with a radio remote-control work platform and preview its new 503-13 Loadall sub-compact telehandler, which will be launched in 2018.

ICUEE 2015, the International Construction and Utility Equipment Exposition, has set a show record as the largest ever with more than 18,000 registered attendees – surpassing the last show by 13 percent. ICUEE 2015 runs September 29 – October 1 at the Kentucky Exposition Center in Louisville, Kentucky.

A Canadian horizontal directional drilling contractor has made the short list of a competition by Vermeer to determine the winner of the Ultimate Crew contest.

With summer utility work in full swing, ICUEE has launched a social media photo contest that gives the hardworking men and women of the utility industry a chance to showcase their livelihood and win a new pair of work boots.

The Demo Expo announces co-location of the AGC Utility Infrastructure Conference with the 2015 exposition. AGC, the Associated General Contractors of America, will also organize the AGC IT and Business Solutions Pavilion at the show.
