Year Development Plan is expected to generate SR237.4 billion worth of construction projects in 2012. The rapid expansion of the construction sector is driving parallel growth in the Kingdom's construction machinery market, which is expected to expand further by 20 percent through 2015, said Kamil Al-Jawhari, Project Manager of the upcoming Saudi Build, the PMV Series 2011, the 2nd International Exhibition for Construction Equipment, Plant, Machinery and Vehicles. Organized by Riyadh Exhibitions Company, the PMV Series will take place from May 29 to June 1, 2011 at the Riyadh International Convention and Exhibition Center. Al-Jawhari said the Saudi government budget for 2011 has allocated funding for construction-intensive, multibillion-riyal projects from ports and roads to rail networks and communications facilities. For execution of these projects, the construction industry requires more heavy-duty machinery and equipment. The upcoming Saudi Build 2011 will address the growing demand by gathering exhibitors from Saudi Arabia and the world to showcase the latest construction equipment, plants, machinery and vehicles, he said. The PMV Series 2011 will host exhibitors from Germany, China, United Arab Emirates, India and an official pavilion from Turkey.
