Presentation

The European Demolition Association, EDA, organizes every year a meeting of the demolition industry from all over Europe. This meeting, called the EDA Annual Conference , has an important technical part, with presentations about new developments, case stories, and round table discussions. This year the event was held in Rome, Italy, from the 29th of May to the 1st of June.
