What a brilliant day at the CECA North East Safe Digging Event 2026 hosted at @Hexham Racecourse
Bringing together contractors, clients, equipment suppliers and training providers from across the civil engineering sector, the event created a valuable platform to connect, collaborate and share knowledge around one of our industry’s most critical priorities – safe excavation.
From insightful indoor presentations covering best practice, legal perspectives and behavioural approaches, to hands-on outdoor demonstrations showcasing the latest equipment and technologies, the day highlighted just how much innovation and expertise exists across our sector.
A huge thank you to all of our speakers, exhibitors and attendees who contributed to such an engaging and informative event. It was particularly encouraging to see the strong focus on:
- Reducing service strikes
- Promoting consistent safe digging practices
- Embracing new technologies and digital solutions
- Investing in training and competence across the workforce
Events like this reinforce the importance of working together as an industry to drive improvements in safety, efficiency and performance.
We look forward to building on this momentum and continuing the conversation.
