"The dredging industry not only shoulders the important task of protecting the ecological safety of rivers, lakes and seas, but also protects the safety of urban underground pipe networks. It is an important support for accelerating the governance of the water ecological environment." Gao Wei, secretary-general of the China Dredging Association, said that this expo brings together high-quality resources from all fields of the national dredging industry and builds a platform for technical exchanges, supply and demand docking, and talent training for the development of the national dredging industry.
