Lay the groundwork for growth with business opportunities found nowhere else

Ground Engineering & Enabling Works (GEW) Expo launches in 2027 as the newest addition to the ESS Expo portfolio. Co-located with GEO Expo and CLR Expo, together forming the Ground Solutions Series, GEW joins a combined community of 4,800+ land management professionals who come to the NEC every year to source the latest solutions in the pre-construction industry.

GEO uncovers what's in the ground. CLR manages the environmental risk. Until now, there's been no dedicated supplier showcase for the next step - the enabling works, ground engineering execution and construction site preparation. GEW Expo closes that gap, giving enabling works contractors, plant and equipment suppliers, temporary works specialists and delivery technology providers a dedicated stage to connect with an audience that was already showing up en masse.

For the Tier 1 preconstruction & delivery directors, enabling works contractors, consultancies turning ground data into delivery strategy, engineering consultancies, and developers who already attend GEO and CLR to understand the ground, GEW Expo is where that understanding turns into a buildable, construction-ready site - serving as your specialised platform to connect the people who define and procure enabling works, showcase the equipment and expertise that get sites build-ready, and turn ground understanding into the next contract won.

Ground Engineering & Enabling Works is part of the UK's leading event for environmental services. Explore the 2026 Highlights Below:
