IMESA Conference 2007 |
|
| |
 |
The 71st Annual IMESA Conference and Exhibition took place
at the ICC in Durban between the 23rd and 26th October. The event was extremely successful
and saw the greatest turnout ever with more than 700 municipal engineers, technicians, technologists and conference exhibitors attending each day.
| |
Knowledge Base exhibited their Civil Designer and AllyCAD infrastructure design software and
was pleased to receive overwhelming interest from new and existing clients.
With the theme 'Sustainable Municipal Engineering: 2010 and Beyond' many of the practical and technical presentations
addressed the progress and challenges facing all those involved with municipal
engineering as they look beyond the 2010 milestone, which is less than three years away.

Dirk Potgieter
MVD Consulting Engineers Kimberley

"Civil Designer is an excellent design programme, and the training is really good. We recently benefited from the training on an 8km road project in Kuruman. We dug a series of test holes and divided the road up into sections and worked out separate layer-works for each chainage. Civil Designer really helped us with that and saved us a lot of time."
