AFTES exhibition

The AFTES exhibition, held in Paris, stands out from other industrial exhibitions because of its focus on tunnels and underground spaces. The French Association of Tunnels and Underground Works (AFTES) organises this international congress, which will take place for the 17th time in 2023. Held at the Palais des Congrès de la Porte Maillot, it brings together professionals from various disciplines involved in the design and construction of underground structures and spaces.

Dedicated to improving knowledge and techniques in this specific field, AFTES offers a unique platform for the exchange of ideas and best practices. The exhibition emphasises the importance of underground spaces in current urban and environmental transitions, highlighting the innovation and technical challenges associated with this sector.

Unlike more general construction or industry exhibitions, AFTES offers an immersion into an often overlooked but crucial area of civil engineering. It attracts experts, engineers, contractors and suppliers, creating an ideal environment for professional networking, discovering new technologies and discussing future trends in underground spaces.

As a member of AFTES, Montabert has been an active participant in the AFTES exhibition for many years, demonstrating a continuous commitment to the French Association of Tunnels and Underground Space and regularly contributing to its congress.
