National Drainage Show & Floodex 2025 was, in most people's opinion, one of the best yet, with an increase in genuinely qualified visitors. With the National Civils Show co-located and now London Build Expo moving to Excel on the same days, 2026 will be a fantastic hive of construction and environmental activity. 

This will open up all events to new audience of thousands of interested civil engineers, contractors, developers and planners, involved in construction, utilities, highways, railway and coastal defence professionals. There will be no walls between the events, so that interested visitors can cross between events unimpeded. 

We were proud to be a major sponsor of the National Drainage Awards 2025 again and hope to continue this partnership in 2026.

We were very pleased that the Environment Agency supported the event and both Anglian Water and Southern Water were delighted with their presence and sure to be there in 2026.

Since launching Floodex in 2016, the organizers have always had the idea that an event should be staged that takes a more holistic approach to flooding and water level management, which is why the National Drainage Show was launched, as 70% of flood incidents are caused by surface water runoff.

 We can’t mention everybody, but it is important to us  that the UKSTT and WJA are lending their valuable support. once again.

National Drainage saw some fantastic exhibitors and support for 2024, both old and new. 2025 is no different with notable additions of JCB, Steinzeug Keramo, the MPA, Brendon Powerwashers, Cuirasser, Rosehill Group, with relevant companies in the Civils Show, including JD Pipes, Naylor, Marshalls, FP McCann and many others.

Some big news for 2025, is the launch of the National Civils Show, which will run alongside the Drainage Show, with aisles linking both events, so that interested visitors can pass between the two shows, making for a much more interesting mix of visitors and exhibitors. The event already has the support of some major trade associations and publications, with more expected to join over the coming weeks.

The National Civils Show will no doubt attract major contractors, engineering companies,  and engineers from all aspect of civils and infrastructure, including wastewater & sewage, civil engineering, railways, highways, bridge & engineering, coastal defence and structural engineering.

The organizers are convinced, as is everybody else, judging by the feedback, that this will be a major benefit to the Drainage Show and vice versa, given the number of engineers and major contractors, that will be on site.
