EDITOR’S NOTE
CONTENTS
IN THIS ISSUE, we report how Saudi Arabia's rapidly-growing economy is creating opportunities for both exporters and investors, particularly in infrastructure development. These are further boosted by moves to diversify the economy away from oil and gas. Economic reforms and market liberalisation are continuing, albeit at a slower pace than many investors would like. However, according to our economic specialist, Moin Siddiqi, the non-oil economies of the majority of countries in the region continue to grow. It’s clear that the Middle East remains a significant, albeit not booming project market. We have tried to reflect such developments within these pages over the last 30 years and, with subjects as diverse as formwork, glass, power and communications in this issue, our longevity would indicate that we might just have been doing something right.

Caterpillar Middle East takes the technical approach Caterpillar’s district manager for the Middle East, Corne Timmermans, talks to Technical Review about how modern management technology is fuelling the future of the region’s construction industry
“Your biggest competitive advantage is your dealer network”
“
I HAVE ALWAYS been fascinated by the growth, the culture and the possibilities here,” claimed Corne Timmermans, the Middle East district manager for the global manufacturing giant Caterpillar. Having worked in the region for the past two years, Timmermans heads the company’s recently-established parts distribution centre and offices in Dubai’s Jebel Ali Free Zone, which acts as a support base for its established dealer network that sells and services its products across the Middle East. Speaking to Technical Review, he explained, “My primary responsibility lies with making sure that our dealers have all the support in place from Caterpillar to help them to make our customers successful.” Working in a region full of construction possibilities means that even being a household name company such as Caterpillar does not necessarily give you the upper hand. Timmermans puts Caterpillar’s ability to stay on top down to its network of regional partners. He said, “Your biggest competitive advantage is your dealer network and that’s
something we’ve been working on for the last eight years and will continue working on, because those are the people who really make a difference when it comes to, for example, following up on the technology.” It is this modern management solutions technology, which Caterpillar has adopted on its machinery, that Timmermans also views as key to the company’s success and to keeping ahead of the competition. According to Caterpillar, the solutions that it uses focus on and benefit both the production and the equipment management side of operations. For example, the company’s Cat Product Link is a remote monitoring and asset management solution, which provides its customers with a range of detailed information about the location, use, and condition of their selected equipment. Through Product Link and its interface system, VisionLink, customers are able to remotely monitor an asset and see how many hours it has run for, plot where it has been over the previous 24 hours, how much time it is standing idle, and even if the operator is mishandling the machine by, for example, driving with the brake on.

On the product side of operations, the technology allows a company to programme the machinery in order to meet a specific design or plan and match its specifications, such as the depth of a ditch. The key advantage is that it will generally avoid many human errors and the need to rework, thereby saving on time and expenditure. “I’m very excited about this technology and the fact that we can help our customers become so much more successful if they let us work together with them on using it,” commented Timmermans. Not only does this technology boost efficiency it also has a positive impact on the health and safety of the company’s operations. There is less need for people to be out walking around the job sites, which in turn means less potential injuries caused. Timmermans added, “Especially on the larger machines we’re installing object detecting devices, because if you’re in a big bulldozer you can’t necessarily see what’s happening beside you. Not only are there video cameras that show you what’s happening around your machine, but there’s also an audible detection alarm.” Having this data to hand allows companies to not simply react once significant damages have occurred but be proactive and prevent errors from happening initially or stopping them before they become too great, which in turn increases efficiency and productivity.
Caterpillar’s Dubai-based parts distribution centre and office
According to Timmermans, when two Caterpillar machines were monitored simulating the same job, the one utilising the productivity technology solutions experienced an impressive 40-50 per cent boost in job efficiency than the one without. The district manager said, “In Europe you can’t even bid for a job in road construction if you don’t have that technology and know how to operate it. That will happen here as well, it’s just a matter of time.” Looking forward, however, it is clear Caterpillar’s Middle East branch is not

simply planning to rely on its modern technology to optimise and maximise on its business potential in the region, but is also looking to grow in a more physical sense. “We’re going to invest more and assign more people to the office,” claimed Timmermans. “We’re also going to put significant investment into building a service training centre here in the backyard [of our Jebel Ali Free Zone base].” The intention is that the training facility will be established in 2015. It will mean that Caterpillar’s regional dealers’ technicians can be trained on the company’s latest products faster and more effectively, and from a local base rather than having to be sent across to its European offices. “Because of the sheer volume of people that need to be trained, we need to increase our capacity in training,” explained Timmermans. “It’s going to be a major investment and we recognise that that’s necessary because of the growth we’re foreseeing for the years to come.” ■

The GCC bloc has continued its robust expansion, powered by infrastructure investments, fiscal stimulus and low interest rates
Region faces a challenging year ahead Following a difficult 2013, Middle Eastern Gulf producers are expected to enjoy a vastly improved year this year while the non-oil economy continues to grow, however there will still be many challenges to overcome, writes Moin Siddiqi.
A
FTER A SLOWDOWN in 2013 largely due to lower crude oil production in Libya, Iran, and Saudi Arabia, the economic conditions of oil-exporters (led by core Middle Eastern Gulf producers) are expected to improve. Real gross domestic product (GDP) is projected to grow by four per cent in 2014, up from 1.9 per cent last year, according to the International Monetary Fund (IMF). The non-oil economy continues to expand strongly in most countries, driven by private domestic and public investments, as well as a recovery in private credit growth, but external and fiscal buffers are running low in non-Gulf Cooperation Council countries. Libya’s efforts during 2013 toward restoring oil output to pre– civil war levels (1.8mn bpd) were hindered by deteriorating security and workers’ strikes; Iran’s oil exports plummeted because of tightening international sanctions; and Iraq’s capacity Technical Review Middle East - Issue Two 2014
expansion drive was slowed by civil strife and a lack of export infrastructure facilities. Saudi Arabia’s oil production for 2013 fell slightly as it continued to play a stabilising role in global oil markets: curtailing production in late 2012 and early 2013 in the face of waning global demand and rising supply from non– Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (non-OPEC) producers but raising output later in the year to compensate for disruptions or shortfalls in exports elsewhere – notably Iran and Nigeria. In 2014, the MENA region’s hydrocarbon production is projected to rise by 1.8 per cent, less than one-half of the growth rates recorded in recent years. In Saudi Arabia, the higher production rates observed since late 2013 are likely to be sustained. In Libya, crude output should steadily increase, although pre–revolution levels may not be reached for a few www.technicalreview.me

The six-member (GCC) bloc has continued its robust expansion despite unrest in what the IMF terms Arab Countries in Transition - powered by infrastructure investments, fiscal stimulus and low interest rates, which boosted consumer and business spending. With combined ‘twin surpluses’ – the budget and current account – estimated at 10.8 and 21.3 per cent, respectively, of GDP by the IMF, net foreign assets of the GCC had reportedly totalled US$2.2 trillion by the end of 2013, more than aggregate GDP, according to Washington-based Institute of International Finance (IIF). The non-oil sector, the main engine of sustainable growth and job creation, is expected to continue expanding at around 4.5 per cent in 2014, thanks to still-strong public capital spending government-related services have been the fastest-growing segments of the non-hydrocarbons economy in recent years. Growth in retail and services sectors is underpinned by brisk consumer spending, which is, in turn, match those of 2012, and slower growth thereafter could be supported by public sector employment and generous salaries. affected by the projected decline in oil prices as evidenced in Private credit has also been accelerating, albeit from a low base futures markets. in some countries, and is expected to play a key role in supporting Government fiscal surpluses are also dwindling in most oil the expansion of non-oil economic activity, as some governments exporters. The aggregate fiscal surplus of MENA oil-exporters is are gradually withdrawing economic stimulus measures. Non-oil expected to average three per cent of GDP in 2014, but half of the GDP performance, however, falls below the 7.1 per cent growth countries (mostly non-GCC) are already running deficits. The IMF recorded in 2006-10 – according to IMF figures. explained, “The rise in the oil price since the mid-2000s, the global financial crisis, domestic social pressures, and regional tensions prompted governments in MENA oil-exporters to raise public wage bills and other public expenditures, thereby increasing their reliance on high oil prices to support high budget spending that is difficult to reverse.”
Risks to growth are broadly balanced for the GCC but tilted downward for non-GCC countries
Financial buffers External surpluses of MENA oil exporters are declining since oil prices may have peaked – barring unforeseen exogenous shocks – and rising domestic energy consumption. The aggregate balance of payments surplus for the region is forecast at US$329bn in 2014 and will fall to about US$190bn by 2018 from highs of US$463bn in 2012, according to IMF data. These surpluses mostly accrue in core GCC exporters (Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, the UAE and Qatar), whereas balances are modest among other oil producers. In most countries, oil export volumes in 2014 are unlikely to Technical Review Middle East - Issue Two 2014
Risk factors Amid significant geopolitical uncertainty, risks to growth are broadly balanced for the GCC but tilted downward for non-GCC countries. Slowing growth in emerging markets or the excess supply of unconventional oil could reduce demand for OPEC crude by 500,000 bpd by 2016 as well as prices, thus inducing OPEC members to curtail production. Yet OPEC’s capacity is expected to grow by about two million bpd during the same period, and three-quarters of this increase will derive from the MENA countries. Similarly, possible supply disruptions, particularly in Iraq, Libya, and Nigeria, would hike oil prices – hence benefiting core GCC producers with spare capacities, notably in Saudi Arabia. The volatility of oil production has increased during the past decade – hence uncertainty for government revenues and fiscal balances. The majority of MENA exporters now need an average www.technicalreview.me

Analysis
oil price in excess of US$100 a barrel to balance their budgets. Public spending in most countries has risen to such a level that sustained cheaper oil would weaken fiscal positions and could lead to some cancellation or postponement of infrastructure projects, thus reducing GDP growth. However, GCC exporters thanks to their large forex reserves and minimum government debt can absorb short-lived low prices. In non-GCC countries, external balances are also declining because of lower oil production, rising domestic consumption (mainly in Iran) and insufficient fiscal savings. In addition, there are risks from a tightening of global financial conditions, as a faster recovery in advanced OECD economies (led by the US) would prompt central banks to end a policy of quantitative easing. That, in turn, could lead to a rise in risk premiums (i.e. higher borrowing costs) for developing countries and lead to lower foreign direct investment (FDI). The overall effect on global demand, hence, on oil prices remains uncertain. Pegged exchange rates in most MENA oil-exporters would translate higher global interest rates into higher domestic interest rates, which would slow investment and growth in the non-oil sector. A moderate rise in external funding costs should not impact most MENA oil-exporters because of limited exposure to global debt markets, highly liquid, strongly capitalised banking sectors and large sovereign wealth funds (SWFs). Bahrain and Dubai are vulnerable to higher global interest rates. Dubai’s governmentrelated entities could face difficulties rolling over their corporate debts.
GCC countries can invest in high-quality infrastructure projects to support economic diversification Apart from external factors, the main downside risk is the possibility of a sluggish non-oil private sector growth and higher unemployment if governments’ efforts aimed at diversification prove ineffective. In this environment, policies should focus on improving fiscal positions and pursuing structural reforms to bolster private investments, competitiveness, and job creation. Making business entry easier, mainly in non-GCC countries, and facilitating competition can help foster entrepreneurship and innovation. Moreover, easing restrictions on FDI would encourage foreign and regional firms with business expertise to provide goods, services, knowledge transfers, and, importantly, jobs. Regarding infrastructure investment, the GCC countries can invest in high-quality projects to support economic diversification. In view of their strategic location between Europe and East Asia, large-scale investments in logistics and tourism sector should be coordinated across member-countries to avoid duplication and inefficiencies. By contrast, the non-GCC countries need to invest more in upgrading basic infrastructure, including electricity and telecoms.
Consolidation There is a need for fiscal consolidation through reducing untargeted subsidies, which benefit middle and upper-income groups, so that budget funds are freed-up for productive socioeconomic investments. Subsidies on energy products but also on foodstuffs play a political role over several decades in MENA countries. The IMF estimates that, for the MENA region, pre-tax energy subsidies - measured as the difference between the value of consumption at world and domestic prices – totalled US$237bn in 2011, equivalent to 8.6 per cent of regional GDP; one-fifth of government revenue and half of world subsidies. Cheap fuel results in over-investment into capital-intensive industries (chiefly petrochemicals), thus limiting large-scale job creation and under-investment in renewable energy. Improving education and vocational training are needed to prepare young people for competing in competitive global markets. It demands the nurturing of greater technical skills in engineering and science, particularly ICT in higher education – specifically tailored for the needs of private employers. Lack of proper training and skills mismatches are principal obstacles for youths in most countries. Equally, improving access to finance for small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) will enable the private sector to increasingly take-over from the government as the driver of economic diversification. The Middle East still remains a significant, albeit not a booming project market, with opportunities in primary, secondary and services sectors. Strengthening the business climate and competitiveness and attracting high-quality FDI in non-oil sectors are keys to sustainable growth and future prosperity, especially in the non-GCC countries, which lag behind most emerging and developing economies. ■ Technical Review Middle East - Issue Two 2014

year’s event in order to meet with demand and expectations of our growing audience.” More than 10,000 visitors attended what has rapidly become Saudi Arabia's leading building-products and services exhibition since it was launched in 2011. More than 500 international exhibitors from 35 countries showed their products and services, many of them during locallytailored live demonstrations. Key to the success of all Big 5 Saudi events has become the free-to-attend and tightlyscheduled technical seminar series. Focusing on a wide range of sustainability in design and construction topics, this took place within the Jeddah Centre on 10 and 11 March. One of the key aims was to introduce visitors to the sheer scale and scope of the major individual projects – not all of them widely known about outside of the Kingdom - now taking place in the Gulf’s leading construction market.

home to well over one-third of all schemes on or beyond the drawing board right now. Both days of the seminar series featured product showcases, such as those concentrating on Saudi Aramco’s Al Midra Tower, the Haramain High-Speed railway, and the iconic White Sky iHouse. A separate 'How to trade in Saudi' workshop was also held for newcomers to this huge and buoyant market. Another major purpose of the seminars was to help local and foreign building clients and contractors achieve Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED) certification, amongst other accolades signifying that the highest international standards have been achieved in this US$700bn-plus market (more than half of which is allocated to government-funded infrastructure projects). A total of 19 of these individual seminar sessions were organised this year, involving more than 30 separate presenters. These included Jourdan Younis of Alpin Middle East, Jehad Kufri of GMW Architects International and Sultan Al Khuraissi of the Royal Commission for Jubail and Yanbu.
The Big 5 Saudi also featured a variety of seminars and workshops

Special LEED 201 and 301 workshops, as approved by the US Green Building Council, took place
Special separate LEED 201 and 301 workshops, as approved by the US Green Building Council, took place during Big 5 Saudi 2014. The first covered core concepts and strategies of the LEED certification scheme; the second specifically focused on achieving the necessary building design and construction ratings relating to newbuild activities in particular. Other LEED programmes covered the operation, retrofitting/updating and maintenance of buildings. A senior representative of Green Technologies FZCO was in the chair at both of these internationally recognised training sessions. Other traditional favourite Big 5 events being held in the busy west-coast port city this year included the ever-popular PMV Zone (construction equipment, much of which is too large to display indoors), a concrete repair workshop associated with a dedicated concrete zone, a special platinum club meeting place with exclusive facilities that were accessible only to key buyers and other senior executives, and a lively series of product demonstrations that took place throughout the exhibition. â–

Majority of region's enterprises 'not using IT to drive innovation excellence' NEW RESEARCH HAS revealed that only one in four companies in the EMEA region meets the definition of a ‘transformer’ – a company that describes its use of IT infrastructure to drive "innovation excellence". The success of transformer companies is supported by a number of metrics. These include: • 70 per cent of transformers expect ROI on all or most new technology investments within two to three years compared to 57 per cent of non-transformers. • 61 per cent of new IT applications or services introduced in the last year are described as a complete success for transformers compared to 52 per cent for non-transformers. • 29 per cent of transformers see more than three-quarters of projects as a success compared to 16 per cent of non-transformers. • Transformers are more likely to have reviewed various aspects of their network or application infrastructure. 77 per cent of transformers have already completed or are currently implementing a datacentre consolidation or optimisation project versus 49 per cent of non-transformers.
These findings come from a survey of more than 1,000 IT decision makers at companies in multiple vertical sectors and across 10 regions in EMEA – UK, France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Switzerland, Benelux, Russia, Middle East, and South Africa. The survey was commissioned by Riverbed Technology and conducted by independent research company, Loudhouse. "The speed of change in enterprise technologies over the last five years has been astonishing," said Willem Hendrickx, senior vice president sales EMEA at Riverbed. "Social media, big data, mobility, and cloud computing have disrupted existing business models. Business leaders see these new technologies as a significant opportunity to innovate, improve efficiency, and provide differentiated customer experiences in highly competitive marketplaces. The challenge, however, is to ensure that repeated adoption of the ‘next big thing’ delivers maximum benefit and optimal value to the business. That is the question this study set out to answer." The study found that investment in new enterprise applications and technologies has dramatically increased across EMEA in the last two years. Eighty-two per cent of IT decision
www.riverbed.com
makers say the proportion of their overall spend dedicated to new business-critical applications has increased. The study also found, however, that whilst new applications offer the promise of improved business performance, for many organisations (44 per cent), new applications are failing to meet performance expectations, at a substantial cost to the company. Transformers, meanwhile, are characterised not only by greater success in their major deployments of enterprise applications, but also through better preparation to ensure success, particularly of their IT infrastructure and aspects of its performance.
R&M provides cabling infrastructure to Panorama project in Oman SWISS STRUCTURED CABLING specialist, Reichle & De-Massari (R&M), has won a contract to deliver an end-to-end cabling infrastructure solution for the Panorama commercial and residential project in Oman. The contract will involve the implementation of R&M’s proprietary Cat. 6 UTP connectivity technology. The highperformance cabling solution for voice, video and data transmission will provide the backbone for the delivery of reliable, secure and highspeed internet, IPTV, CCTV, video conferencing and other modern day communication applications. The Panorama project involves the construction of a commercial and residential complex consisting of seven towers, each comprising two basement levels, a ground floor and seven additional floors. Two towers are for five star hotels, each offering 140 rooms, four towers for serviced apartments and one tower for office premises. This complex will also include a shopping mall, three cinema halls, food courts, a library, a health club and lifestyle stores. Panorama will be situated in the Al Khuwair commercial district of Muscat, five minutes away from Ruwi, the central business district. Allied Real Estate LLC, an established Omani real estate company, is behind the project. The cabling solution comprises 4,500 points of R&M Cat. 6 copper cables enabling up to 10Gbe connectivity and supporting applications with bandwidth of up to 500 MHz. Installation of the R&M cables is being carried out by the cabling vendor’s partner, Al-Jassar Telecom (AJT). “As an ELV system integrator our responsibility was to design, supply, install, test, commission and maintain the whole ELV system for the Panorama project," Sunil Nair, business head at Al-Jassar Telecom. "The challenge was to provide world class products at a
www.technicalreview.me
competitive price. Despite the fact that there were a number of cabling vendors shortlisted for the project, R&M was chosen because of various competitive advantages like presence and support of R&M’s local team, the company’s reputation for Swiss quality products, 25-year system warranty, excellent design consultancy and, last but not least, highly competitive pricing. We are confident that the installed R&M products will not only meet, but also exceed the expectations of Panorama.” AJT has signed a five-year annual maintenance contract (AMC) with the project developers and a dedicated team of trained engineers will ensure that the infrastructure operates at the highest levels of efficiency and performance. Once the implementation is complete AJT will also provide training to the technical staff that will be employed within the various towers. “Oman is a very important market for R&M and we are building up a strong portfolio of very good reference projects, the latest being Panorama," said Samuel Godfrey, country manager, Oman at R&M. "Our local presence is a definite advantage as we are always available in person to meet clients and partners whenever they are in any need of technical clarification and design changes. Our technical training sessions for partners and clients are significant value additions we offer to the local market .We are proud to have been able to achieve success on this landmark project in the Sultanate thanks to the quality, speed, flexibility and reliability of R&M solutions and technical expertise of our partner AJT.

Safe and secure glazing solutions At little extra cost an appropriate architectural glass can transform the performance of any modern building, but getting the specifications right is essential.
T
ODAY’S SAFE AND secure glazing products protect buildings and their occupants from many hazards, including in some cases deliberate attack. A selection of today’s materials can do this without compromising their ability to transmit, without distortion, abundant natural light. Safety materials protect against physical impact, shattering and fire. When stressed they are less likely to break in the first place, and present less of a hazard when they do. Materials specifically designated as security products also provide protection from deliberate attack such as manual/ mechanical impact and blast. In both cases the materials have to be matched with appropriate seals and framing systems, and must not exceed specified dimensions either. Most toughened (tempered) safety glass, including the branded products produced in Egypt and the Gulf, is manufactured by treating the final floated product with
precise heating and cooling processes which impart mechanical and thermal stresses at the two surfaces, and complementary tensile stresses in the middle. Correctly applied these can increase the strength of a similar thickness of material fourfold, or even more. A key advantage is that when the glass is broken the shards produced are small regular fragments without any sharp edges; the automotive windows and the oven-proof cooking utensil are probably the most familiar applications of this type of glass. However, these materials are widely but invisibly incorporated in doors and even tabletops too. Premium architectural glazing materials like these are ideal for applications such as display windows in shopping malls where footfall (and therefore risk) is high, in bathroom shower housings, and on apartment stairwells and balconies. Special laminated safety glasses are available in various thicknesses at extra

cost. The panes are bonded together in a permanent “sandwich” with some kind of thick PVB (butyral) membrane which holds the shards together should shattering take place. More than one interlayer can be incorporated for added performance and extra qualities can be built in by varying the thicknesses and tinting the enclosing panes. Security glasses with higher architectural specifications can be produced by combining these toughening processes. These capabilities allow the professional to designate these materials for special highrisk applications such as shop and museum windows, display cabinets containing jewellery, precious metals and archaeological artefacts, for personal screens protecting staff in banks, for publicservice vehicles, military and healthcare facilities, at police posts/detention centres, and to surround certain hazardous manufacturing processes.

specialised materials and extra treatments that provide additional qualities such as ultraviolet screening, which protects the contents of an at-risk building, and thermal and/or acoustic insulation. Now moving out of fashion wire mesh or “wired� glass is a special case because it is the only example of a supposedly securitygrade glazing material in which the desired quality is immediately visible. Disadvantages exist, but the visibility of a grid of thin metal wire embedded within the material is usually an attribute that deters hostile activity. The main problem with this, and the reason wired glass is not featured in the catalogues of most international suppliers these days, is that the manufacturing process actually weakens the material. The steel wires themselves, being fine, do not actually impart much physical strength. And when the material is shattered, usually producing ugly jagged shards with protruding sharp metal in the process, it can produce even more injury to bystanders. It is difficult to remove cleanly too. So the main use of wired glass these days is in providing protection against fire
Technical Review Middle East - Issue Two 2014
damage, particularly in elevator shafts, storerooms and in public institutional buildings. The mesh successfully protects the shattered material from falling out of the frame onto rescue personnel working below. Only rarely is it found in new apartment blocks now, often being replaced with something better in the process of refurbishment. Finally, specifiers should remember that in certain applications special clear thermoplastic (acrylic, PMMA and polycarbonate) materials can be used instead of glass. These are light in weight and easy to polish and trim to size even if a laser cutter is not available. They are best used in indoor display locations where natural light levels are low (clear plastics usually go cloudy and even brittle with age, especially in horizontal outdoor settings) and where security protection is not a key requirement. Various branded products are available, mostly imported, and special advice is needed as to which is best suited to different applications in regions such as MENA where the climate provides additional environmental challenges. â–

Bosch double-flue boilers continue to evolve BOSCH INDUSTRIEKESSEL GMBH developed double-flue boilers in three-pass compact technology during the 1950s and builds them today with capacities up to 55 t/h: the pioneering factor is still regarded as being the continuous separation of the two burners and their flue tubing right through to the flue gas chamber. The ZFR boiler series was patented and the design principle of that patent has been retained until today. But the boiler details have inevitably been further developed, due to the progress that has been made and the increasing diversity of the systems used. The design principle of the original ZFR boiler series patent has been retained
Double-flue boilers are more cost-effective than two single-flue boilers, less space is required, less installation and maintenance work is required, and higher operating pressures are possible. The boiler floor and flame tubes and the boiler floor and flue gas reversing chamber must be rigidly anchored to each other. Thermal expansion is absorbed without problems in this case by the front boiler floor, which is made more dynamic. In addition, it is a good sign if the boiler water can flow around without impedance, and if it passes the heating surfaces quickly thus providing a thermal balance in the boiler which is as even as possible. High-capacity boilers – as double-flue boilers now are – should always have an economiser, ideally mounted on a piggy-back basis. Double-flue boilers which sometimes work with just one boiler consequently also have separate flue gas conduits in the economiser. There are two types of separated flue gas circulation: a complete economiser for the first and the second burner, or, alternatively, a single economiser body with a central flue gas separating wall, but continuous water tube bundles for both burners. Double-flue boilers have two individual burners and this opens up the possibility of expanding the control range. The regulation of both burners in parallel operation is easily conceivable here. But the fact is that every time there is an operating fault in a burner because of a blockage in the fuel flow or a defect, the other cannot operate either. An emergency operation with just one burner is not possible, nor is sequence control of the burners. The only advantages of parallel operation lie in the rather smaller system costs: the blower, load regulator, automatic firing device and gas filter, gas shutoff valve and gas pressure regulator for gas burners can be shared equipment. Double-flue boilers cover a high heat requirement. It has been found in practice that there are also times when operation with just one burner is important: in low-load phases and in the event of faults on one of the two burners. Double-flue boilers which allow an unlimited single operation of the burners offer excellent load flexibility and minimise switching on and off, which wastes fuel and causes boiler wear. In the evaluation of various double-flue boiler designs, attention should also be paid to a long working life without damage. This applies for steam boilers as much as it does for hot water boilers. If a double-flue boiler is designed and approved for unlimited single operation of the burners, this is tested by the TÜV test authority. It is important to ask the boiler supplier to provided this certificate. It is also important to inspect reference systems which have been in operation for 10 years or more, and which have to cope with changing loads and which are used extensively all year round. With double-flue boilers in particular, reliability and technical expertise are selection criteria that should not be underestimated.

ELECRAMA 2014 attracted a record number of visitors
Benchmark in the Indian power equipment industry ELECRAMA chairman Sanjeev Sardana spoke to Technical Review about the T&D Event at ELECRAMA-2014 and the footprint India is leaving in the world market
T
“Our interest is to promote ‘Made In India’ products for Power T&D equipment in particular.” Sanjeev Sardana, chairman, ELECRAMA-2014
HE 11TH EDITION of ELECRAMA2014 succeeded as the world’s largest exposition of electrical transmission and distribution (T&D) equipment. The flagship event of IEEMA saw success over its five-day duration recently at the Bangalore International Exhibition Centre (BIEC). Beginning 8 January 2014 and spread over six halls, having a gross area in excess of 70,000 square metres, ELECRAMA-2014 hosted 805 exhibitors from India and 165 from 25 additional countries. The event showcased products and technology through the entire voltage spectrum, from 220V to 1,200kV, conforming to global standards and specifications. Speaking with Technical Review, Sanjeev Sardana, chairman of ELECRAMA-2014 and managing director of Yamuna Power & Infrastructure Ltd., said, “ELECRAMA-2014, so far has been the largest ELECRAMA. We had four international pavilions - Germany,
Technical Review Middle East - Issue Two 2014
Korea, China and Taiwan. We also had a lot of EPC contractors from different part of the world visiting the exhibition, who are looking at business opportunities worth US$500bn in India especially in the power sector in coming five years. According to the exhibition organisers, ELECRAMA-2014 attracted a record number of visitors from the global electrical industry, including key decision and policy makers, regulators, officials of power utilities companies, representatives of funding agencies, technical specialists and consultants, electrical equipment buyers, engineering project contractors and academics from India and abroad. The five-day ELECRAMA-2014 was also supported by the Ministry of Power, Ministry of Heavy Industries & Public Enterprises and Ministry of Commerce, with the governments of India and Karnataka as official state partners.

2014 showcased to the world the strengths and capabilities of Indian manufacturers and the global competitiveness of electrical equipment manufactured in India. It also provided a platform to promote the ‘Made in India’ brand to the world. Sardana said this year’s ELECRAMA surpassed all expectations and highlighted the achievements of the international T&D conclave that was held for the first time under his chairmanship on 9 January 2014. Speaking about achieving export targets, Sardana said India is looking to achieve a turnover of US$25bn from the current US$5bn worth of electrical equipment exports over the next decade. “I see no reason why we cannot achieve this, considering the global opportunities, which were shared at the international T&D conclave,” he said. “The Indian electrical industry has been welcomed with open arms by developing nations, especially in the African subcontinent where a lot of work is going on for electrification. We have been requested by various countries in Africa for setting up manufacturing plant for transmission and distribution equipment as a lot of developing nations are totally dependent on imports of electrical equipment for their on-going power sector requirements,” said Sardana. He also highlighted that most of the countries in the Middle East and Africa are offering a lot of incentives such as duty-free import of raw materials, 10 years’ tax exemption and many more incentives to attract industrialisation. Talking about the Indian Electrical Equipment Industry Mission Plan 20122022, the ELECRAMA chairman said it was created to balance out the export and import of power equipment in India. Sardana said the industry turnover is US$25bn and, since the imports are also high, there is an unbalance. Therefore, the
Sanjeev Sardana
sector’s stalwarts, along with the Ministry of Heavy Industries, have come up with Mission Plan 2022 to increase capacity and upgrade technology to come in line with international standards so that we can balance import and export and touch a target of US$100bn from the current US$25bn Indian electrical industry. “Our interest is to promote ‘Made In India’ products for power transmission and distribution equipment in particular. However, India still has a long way to go,” he said. Sardana spoke about tie-ups like L&T with Mitsubishi of Japan and GE of the US with BHEL, as India needs big players who have an established track record and meet the ambitious next five-year plan to add generation capacity to the tune of 88,537MW. Talking about Middle East and African participation, Sardana said there were a large number of delegations from the MENA
region who were impressed by ELECRAMA. “We also sponsored 435 visitors, mostly from power utilities, from Africa, SAARC countries, ASEAN countries and the Latin American region. Today there are opportunities worth US$10bn in the power sector alone in Iraq as the country is rebuilding its T&D network.” For the first time, the event saw the presence of the special advisor to the Nigerian president on power reforms, as Nigeria has emerged as one of the largest partners of India in the last three years. India has exported US$750mn worth of T&D equipment to Nigeria alone and is now looking forward to being a partner in the development of the African T&D sector. Sardana added that ELECRAMA truly embraced the spirit of the ‘Go Global’ theme as there was a marked visibility in the global market. Right now the Indian share of the global trade in electrical equipment was less than one per cent at US$5bn. However, by and large Indian products are being accepted by even developed countries. India is now being looked to as a hub for manufacturing power equipment. Multinational companies are looking to invest in the country which will add a lot of employment opportunities as well as add value to the industry, especially for small and medium enterprises which drive about 63 per cent of the economy. Sardana said that India is the first country to set up a 1,200kV substation. The substation, which is located in Bina, Madhya Pradesh, was built by the Power Grid Corporation of India. Looking forward to ELECRAMA-2016, Sardana said that this year the event grew by 20 per cent and, looking at the demands coming in and opportunities in the power sector, the exhibition will see a boost of another 15-20 per cent year-on-year growth in visitors in 2016. ■
Yamuna Power & Infrastructure Ltd. looks to increase its global business YAMUNA POWER & Infrastructure Ltd. is one of the leading manufacturing company for power transmission and distribution equipment and is actively involved in exporting its products for the last 25 years. The company displayed its various products at ELECRAMA 2014 that took place in Bangalore recently. The company received its first export order in 1989 from the water and electricity department of Abu Dhabi to supply power cable jointing kits and termination for US$1mn. Sanjeev Sardana, managing director of Yamuna, said, “Considering the global opportunities, we have decided to expand our manufacturing activities overseas by acquiring company in China, which is a complete backward integrated plant in 2007.” The company has also entered into a joint venture by the name of Technical Review Middle East - Issue Two 2014
NGM Yamuna Power Ltd. in Kenya for manufacturing polymeric insulators to meet the ongoing demands in East Africa for rural electrification. The company has already received orders from REA, KPLC and other contractors. Yamuna Power & Infrastructure was also awarded a contract from Saudi Electric Company for the supply of power cable joints and termination kits up to 33kV for US$20mn to be supplied over the next 18 months. Looking at the ongoing demand for the cable accessories, the company has set up a free zone company in Ras al-Khaimah to cater to GCC requirements under the name of Al Yamuna Densons FZE. The company’s vision is to achieve US$100mn turnover by 2018 from its overseas operations. www.technicalreview.me

A
FTER MORE THAN 15 years serving its Middle East customers from its modest UAE base, Kaeser Kompressoren FZE has proudly established its contemporary new office, warehouse and training facility, which is set to contribute significantly to the company’s growing dominance in the region. Five times the size of its previous home, the office is located on a 2,500sq m plot in Dubai’s Jebel Ali Free Zone and is decorated inside and out with the globally recognised logo and the cool grey and bright yellow colours
associated with the company. It boasts a smart office area and warehouse, as well as the valuable training facilities, which will help support its well established dealer network. Kaeser Kompressoren FZE director Carl Briden said, “It’s based on corporate colours and design, but the main advantage is that it’s given us so much more space and more room to expand. We’ve got the capacity to take on additional staff and most importantly we now have the capability to provide all the training requirements associated with our business from a local base.”

A wholly-owned subsidiary of the global manufacturer and provider of compressed air systems Kaeser Kompressoren SE, Kaeser Kompressoren FZE does not sell directly to end users but is strictly a support base for its network of partner companies which sell and service its products across the Middle East region. Relying solely on its dealer network means the value of upto-date and comprehensive coaching cannot be underestimated. The office was designed specifically with training in mind; Kaeser wanted somewhere to theoretically and practically train its sales and service technicians in an environment similar to that of the head office in Germany. The end result is a spacious classroom environment in which the theory of the machinery is taught and a practical training room, which allows the engineers to get ‘hands on’ experience. “In practice it’s all a bit different so what we have established here is a stateof-the-art mechanical training centre so they can get their hands dirty, make mistakes and not worry,” said Briden. “We sell and service all our products through a dealer network so we have to make sure the sales and service engineers are properly informed, trained, and updated,” he added. “The more
information and knowledge they have, the more confidence and competency they have to perform their respective duties.” Kaeser follows a process when selecting its dealers, choosing to work with companies that have what Briden calls “a common goal” and slowly building up a strong relationship. “Our partners employ engineers from many different countries and whose needs for training vary to one degree or another, so our facility enables us to cater for such variations.” Although the company does not directly sell to or service its Middle East customers, two-thirds of the new facility consists of a warehouse, storing what Briden refers to as a “modest stock” of spare parts and compressors. The dealers replenish their stock straight from the head office in Germany, but occasionally dipping into the emergency stock allows them to cut the manufacturing and delivery time from Europe. This will be Kaeser Kompressoren FZE’s second home after being officially established as the Middle East subsidiary in September 1998. Business in the region kicked off in 1995 after Thomas Kaeser, the company CEO and grandson of the company
Kaeser Kompressoren CEO Thomas Kaeser
founder, recognised the growing value and product demand within the Middle East, but also understood that the customer base could not be sufficiently supported from the European office thousands of kilometres away. Briden was employed in the same year with the aim of identifying and setting up a network of agents in which to work with. “Relationship is very important to our company and you can’t establish a relationship if you’re just popping in every two weeks and then flying back,” said Briden.

The office was renovated according to a corporate design and colours
“The growth of Jebel Ali Free Zone is a testament to the fact if companies want to do business in this region they have to have a local presence” “The growth of Jebel Ali Free Zone is a testament to the fact that many foreign companies recognise that if they want to do business in this region they have to have a local presence. It was very much necessary to be here if we really wanted to achieve success.” Three years later and Kaeser Kompressoren FZE was officially established with the addition of a small team all based in the company’s first office, a 500sq m warehouse in the Free Zone. “Since 1998 we’ve slowly but surely increased our market share, increased the number of dealers that we work with and increased the number of countries that we cover,” explained Briden. He said that the team originally focused on finding dealers for its core product, the industrial screw compressor, and once that network was established moved onto other machines in its portfolio, including the portable compressor, or MOBILAIR, for the construction industry. With the exception of 2009 which negatively affected many UAE-based companies, business for Kaeser has
www.technicalreview.me
grown year-on-year and steady growth has meant a bigger workload, more employees, and in turn a greater strain on the office, which explains the need to find a new, spacious location. Walking around the contemporary office space, visitors will see the Kaeser logo and corporate colours in every room and a large bird’s eye view photo of the manufacturing plant in Coburg, Germany stretching across the entrance lobby. The appearance of the new facility is the result of a conscious effort by the Kaeser head office to renovate its global subsidiaries under one image and design. This even applies to the flooring, which is the same as would be found underfoot in the German headquarters. Briden said, “The company has been interested in developing and enhancing its image so that we show one common face no matter what country you’re in and progressively we’ve been upgrading facilities around the world through the efforts and support of our in-house architect.” Looking beyond the flooring and to the future, the Dubai office is firmly set to remain the one focal point and support
base responsible for business in the Middle East, as well as its dealers in Sri Lanka and Bangladesh. Kaeser has no plans to establish a manufacturing presence outside of Germany. But with the new building, the new space, and the new training facilities, the move into this office opens up a world of business possibilities and it is clear that this is not lost on the Middle East subsidiary, which is ready to take full advantage of those growth opportunities. “The plan is to take on additional staff this year in various areas, which we couldn’t have done before because we didn’t have the space. That will further enhance our support, the speed of our reaction, and the closeness to our dealers,” said Briden. “If we continue growing the way we have in the last 15 years then we’d be very happy and if we do that it means this building will become too small, forcing us to move onto the next stage. So that’ll be our target: to continue with the development we’ve achieved over the last 19 years or so and to put ourselves in a position where we’re forced to invest more and go on to the next level.”

Kaeser controls now in Arabic KAESER KOMPRESSOREN HAS become the first compressor manufacturer to offer Arabic as a language on its control panels, which the company says reflects its commitment to the Middle East and North Africa market. Kaeser’s Sigma Control panel is already available in a range of languages, including Korean, Chinese, and Spanish. However limitations in the display technology meant that until now Arabic script was not a possibility. Kaeser Kompressoren FZE director Carl Briden said, “It has cost us money and time in developing it but it’s been worthwhile.” The Arabic language option is available to Kaeser customers now and it is something that Briden says there was always a market for and that the compressor company has been pushing to achieve. “It’s a sign that we want to make our compressors more available to everybody,” commented Briden. “It shows the commitment that we have and that we consider the [Middle East] market a very important area for us.” As long as current customers are using the latest generation of Sigma Control – Kaeser’s contemporary system that allows its users to monitor, control and understand the whole compressor from the one screen – they can update their compressor panels by simply downloading the new programme. “We get a lot of engineers working in the factories who are purely speaking Arabic,” explained Briden. “To be able to see what’s going on in the compressor in his/her own language is certainly an advantage.”
Kaeser presents new compressed air ‘titan’ KAESER KOMPRESSOREN HAS proudly presented what it refers to the ‘new compressed air titan’, a two-stage dry-running rotary screw compressor that combines power, practicality and energy efficiency. Kaeser’s latest flagship portable compressor, the M 500-2, is especially designed to be used in industrial applications requiring large volumes of compressed air, particularly when it is needed to bridge maintenance outages or when a plant is being upgraded. Tunnel construction and pipeline flushing in refineries are other examples of potential applications. This giant portable compressor is made to stand the test of time. Special protective coating on the machine’s rotors means they can
The M 500-2 has joined Kaeser Kompressoren's Mobilair portable compressor family
Technical Review Middle East - Issue Two 2014
withstand temperatures of up to 300oC and, even after years of use, show little sign of wear. This in turn ensures consistent high energy efficiency and as such there is no increase in fuel consumption over the compressor’s operating life. Despite weighing in at close to 12 tonnes, the M 500-2 can still be precisely placed where needed thanks to having been mounted on a supporting chassis with parking brakes, as well as featuring crane, lashing eyes and forklift pockets, all of which allow it to be quickly and safely positioned anywhere. Part of the Mobilair portable compressor family, the M 500-2 provides compressed air from 4 to 10.3 bar with a maximum free air delivery that ranges from 38 m3/min to 45.8 m3/min. The integrated Sigma Control mobile controller also automatically adjusts the motor speed to the exact pressure set-point between 4 and 10.3 bar. According to the compressor manufacturer, this model combines two of Kaeser’s core competencies: energy-saving dry running rotary screw compressors and environmentally-sound exhaust technology. The M 500-2 was officially debuted at the 2013 bauma trade show in Munich, Germany, a globally recognised exhibition looking at construction machinery, building material machines, mining machines, construction vehicles and construction equipment. www.technicalreview.me

New ASK rotary screw compressors spring into market KAESER KOMPRESSOREN’S NEW generation ASK series of rotary screw compressors, offering high efficiency and user-friendly design, is set to be launched in the market this spring. The innovative stationary compressed air applications, the third generation of the ASK range, are approximately 20 per cent more efficient and productive when compared to other standard products on the market. This is due to the updated Sigma Profile airends, innovative cooling concept, and high-efficiency IE3 motors. Despite the high efficiency and productivity, the energy use and subsequent costs of the rotary screw compressors are kept to a minimum thanks to the IE3 motors and radial fan, which runs on its own independent motor. As well as an optional feature for frequency control and an integrated dryer, the latest ASK series models are available for free air deliveries from 0.79 to 4.65m3/min and the integrated Sigma Control 2 controller provides efficient and intuitive control. According to Kaeser Kompressoren, the ASK series of rotary screw compressors boast a logical, user-friendly and servicefriendly design. In terms of servicing, all maintenance parts can be easily accessed from one side of the model and, when closed, the sound-dampening insulation ensures quiet operation. The range will be debuted at the PaintExpo, a leading trade show focussed on industrial coating technology held in April in Karlsruhe, Germany.
Kaeser launches energy efficient compact refrigeration dryer series Secotec TF A NEW RANGE of compact refrigeration dryers that dry large volumes of compressed air using enhanced energy efficient technology was launched by Kaeaser Kompressoren in February. As the second version of Kaeser’s successful range, the updated Secotec TF series is far more compact and weighs considerably less. Not only does the dryer take up approximately half the space of the first generation model and have two sides that can be installed next to a wall, but it is approximately 60 per cent lighter than other such thermal storage dryers. As a result of this compact design, the compressor company claims that this series is setting new benchmarks in energy efficiency. According to Kaeser Kompressoren, each thermal storage dryer has a footprint that is up to 46 per cent smaller than the norm and uses less than 100W per cu/m of air that is dried, whereas conventional models use 200 to 250W on average. Kaeser Kompressoren FZE director Carl Briden said, “We can do our bit by making our compressors more energy efficient to reduce the load that a factory has to put on its power supply.” Furthermore thanks to the contemporary thermal storage system, which includes a phase-change material (PCM) that is 98 per cent denser than the usual storage media, the storage dryers are available for air flows ranging from 17 up to 34 m3/min. Available both as water-cooled and air-cooled versions, the Secotec TF range includes a Sigma Control Smart microprocessorbased controller, which monitors the thermal storage process, and also has the option of an Ethernet interface allowing for connection to a master control system. www.technicalreview.me

QA &
Kaeser Kompressoren FZE, Director Carl Briden
A
S DIRECTOR OF Kaeser Kompressoren FZE, Carl Briden is at the heart of the air systems supplier's business in the Middle East. In 1995 he began identifying and establishing a network of dealers in the region and by 1998 had helped officially establish the subsidiary company. In the 19 years since he moved to Dubai, Briden has led the business from strength to strength seeing it become an ingrained name in the Middle East and a support base for its dealer network, which stretches across the Middle East as well as into Sri Lanka and Bangladesh. Q: How has business been in the region and which countries would you say were the strongest for Kaeser? A: From the feel we have for the market and the knowledge and feedback we get back from our various partners, we can confidently say that we’re one of the main two suppliers in the region now. We believe we have a very healthy market share in each country where we are active. Every year has been a growth year apart from 2009, which affected everybody of course, but the following year we got back to where we were in 2008 so we very quickly recovered. We have progressively grown year-on-year since the day we started and that’s only on the basis of the dealers. We grow on the back of their success. Last year saw a record turnover not only for the Kaeser organisation globally, but also for Kaeser Kompressoren FZE. Markets like Egypt and Saudi Arabia will always be traditionally the strongest,
because of their geography and population. Even with the recent troubles that it has faced business in Egypt has been able to progress quite well, supported by our own business development manager located in Cairo. Saudi Arabia will always be a strong market, as well as the UAE of course, which is now beginning to pick up again. We also have some markets that are more industry focused such as Oman and Qatar, which are very dependent on the oil and gas industry. Qatar has got the 2022 FIFA World Cup coming up and with the inevitable infrastructure projects coming through I am sure it will offer very good opportunities to expand our business. Then there’s the Expo2020 here in Dubai. It’s still early days, but once the plans are in place and we see movement on the ground we would obviously look at
Technical Review Middle East - Issue Two 2014
taking advantage of opportunities in this area. Q: How extensive is your dealer network in the MENA region and what benefits and challenges to business do working through a dealer pose? A: We have 21 authorised dealers in total covering 14 countries, between them having the responsibility for handling both sales and aftersales service and support of our various product groups. With so many partners to support there’s always a need for training in both sales and service. We don’t just train people once, but we focus on continuous re-training. There are always courses on new products as well as refresher sessions on existing equipment. It’s a constant requirement. We need to make sure that our partners’ sales and service engineers are equipped with sufficient

knowledge to enable them to conduct their tasks with accuracy and efficiency at all times. All our partners have a common goal and have the same mind set when it comes to training their staff so we never have a shortage of willing students. Q: Are there any advantages of being, and working with, a family-run business? A: Kaeser is a family-run company and we have quite specific priorities, goals and beliefs. We find that staff stay longer; it’s not uncommon to go to our German head office and find someone who’s worked there for 35-40 years for example. Our staff are treated as individuals and not as a statistic and as a family business approaching our 100 years anniversary, I believe we offer stability as a company. We’re very patient in the way we approach our business and give our people time to develop their skills and settle into a position. We do the same with our dealers and if necessary take a couple of years to learn about each other and from each other until eventually we end up with a partnership with common ideas and common goals. Q: What challenges arise from being a Europe-based company and manufacturer when working in the Middle East? A: Well, obviously being a Europe-based manufacturer and German in particular, manufacturing costs are higher compared to products produced in China, India or Brazil for example. So there’s always that challenge, to compete with companies that are offering products with
www.technicalreview.me
components sourced from such local markets. We focus on the fact that our equipment is made in Germany, the fact that everything is 100 per cent German made and that with that you are guaranteed a very high quality. Once you start sourcing components from other countries you’re not always in control of the quality. We try and manufacture as many components inhouse as we can for our equipment. For those items we have to outsource, we work with reliable local suppliers who follow very exact quality control procedures. If an out-sourced component were to fail to perform to our expectations then it damages our reputation and by outsourcing components only from German suppliers we have better control on the quality of those components. This helps to guarantee that we have an extremely reliable, longer-lasting product. A Kaeser screw compressor is designed to last a minimum of 15 or 20 years. One of our slogans is “built for a lifetime” and this is very much the reality. When a customer makes that initial purchase of an air compressor it is just the start of their investment. The electricity and maintenance costs are a substantial part of the year-on-year costs of running an industrial screw compressor so we focus on reducing these costs. Q: How would you say the compressor industry has changed over the past two decades? A: In the Middle East customers are not quite so focused on the cost of electricity,
whereas in other parts of the world electricity costs are very much something of interest. When we started our operations back in 1995, if you spoke to a customer about how energy efficient our product was they wouldn’t place too high a value on this advantage. But today costs are increasing for generating electricity and with companies looking to continuously reduce their overheads, one area they can achieve progress is to invest in a reliable highly energy efficient screw compressor. People are becoming more aware of it here in the Middle East. We have the most energy efficient compressor on the market and that’s always been one of our key advantages. People are more interested in energy efficiency than in the past and this is something we’ll always keep focus on. Q: Looking to the future, how do you see the business developing and which sectors do you think hold the most potential? A: As far as numbers of dealers are concerned we’re now well established. But in respect to market sectors, of course Iran is an obvious place we could look into. That’ll be the next step for us so when the political climate is right we will for sure look at this area. The GCC countries will always offer opportunities in the oil and gas sector a sector which Kaeser manufactures specifically designed instrument air skid packages. We already have a very good customer base, but there are still areas we would want to expand into. The oil and gas sector is a huge market so this obviously offers good potential for us in the future. We will continue to exhibit at the Abu Dhabi International Petroleum Exhibition and Conference (ADIPEC) to help us achieve this target. Overall we’re very happy with the way we’re developing and the direction we are heading. We are always looking for more opportunities of course and we’re continually working hard to try and achieve even more success. We believe our business is going in the right direction and our focus will always be on supporting our dealer network and making sure we have the right products and the best people here to offer that support.

Footfall was once again up for Middle East Electricity, with the 2014 edition attracting more exhibitors and visitors than ever before
Spotlight shines on the Middle East's power sector Middle East Electricity returned to Dubai in February, covering more than 50,000 sq m of exhibition space and attracting more visitors than ever before. Bringing together experts and professionals from across the global power industry, visitors and exhibitors were treated to a plethrea of product launches, technical seminars and technological breakthroughs within the sector.
T “When it comes to power generation, this is one of the most important exhibitions in the world”
HE 39TH EDITION of Middle East Electricity, which took place in Dubai in February, attracted more visitors than ever before and helped emphasis the fact that the region's electricity sector has been performing as strongly as ever. More than 1,250 exhibitors from 57 countries were attendance for the event, which stretched throughout 12 halls and covered more than 50,000 sq m of exhibition space at the Dubai International Convention and Exhibition Centre. Lenaik Andrieux, general manager, retail – electric power division at Caterpillar SARL, told Technical Review, "MEE has grown into a global event over the years and we're continuing to see an increase in competition from emerging markets in attendance. "This show is much more international than it once was. When it started, it was really a small fair for the local market, but
Technical Review Middle East - Issue Two 2014
now it's covering all of Africa and the Middle East, and even parts of Asia, leading people to converge in Dubai to talk about the electricity industry. It has become a leading regional, if not a global, event." From firms specialising in solar powered products at the co-located Solar Middle East to a host of hybrid power solutions, and the latest in power technology to an assortment of new genset products designed specifically for the region's arid weather conditions, MEE 2014 had something on offer for almost every industry professional in attendance. Among those launching new products at the show was Volvo Penta, who was exhibiting independently at Middle East Electricity exhibition for the third time. Volvo Group's industrial and marine engine manufacturer showcased two new 16-litre units, which make up the final addition to its

range of stage IIIA-compliant powergen engines. The engines – TWd1652GE and TWd1653GE – provide low fuel consumption and increased power density. Volvo Penta president of emerging markets Giorgio Paris said, "When it comes to power generation, this is one of the most important exhibitions in the world. It's important because it's located in the Middle East area, which is a very important potential market for us." Western Global, meanwhile, used the event to promote its new sole agent within the region, AAA Construction Equipment, as well as to display its regionally-tailored fuel filtration transfer pod systems. John White, export sales manager for the UK-based firm, said, "What really counts out here is reliability and we got it right. "As a result, our name and our brand is getting bigger and people associate it with good quality." Cummins Generator Technologies unveiled its Stamford P6-1250kVa generator at the exhibition. The four-pole generator has been designed specifically for standby and island mode operation. Both Cummins Generator Technologies and Cummins Power Generation exhibited at the show under the theme of 'the Power of One' in order to emphasise the integrated products and solutions the brand can provide its customers, including engines, switchgears and alternators. Speaking to Technical Review during the exhibition, Steve Nicholls, president – Middle East and Africa at Emerson Industrial Automation, said "We have escalated our presence at MEE over the last four or five years and, for us, this show is one of the best in the marketplace." The company promoted a message of sustainability during the three-day event, with Nicholls stating that each of the
products on display on the firm's show booth demonstrated ways of saving energy. "We have varying degrees of energyefficient motors here and we have ways of modulating and controlling the speed of a motor to our customers' needs," Nicholls said. "We can regulate that speed downwards while maintaining the same motor efficiency and motor operation in terms of torque, and still save significant amounts of energy."
The winning spark The growing reputation of MEE as the power industry's leading trade show event in the Middle East region, was emphasised by the success of the now annual MEE Awards. The awards ceremony took place on the first evening of the show with more than 1,000 people in attendance. An independent jury of power industry experts selected winners from 25 shortlisted entries across eight categories. The evening's big winners were H.E. Abdulla Saif Al Nuaimi, Advisor, Abu Dhabi Water and Electricity Authority (ADWEA), who was named 'Power Personality of the Year', while Dubai Municipality director general H.E. Hussain Nasser Lootah was awarded 'Green Champion of the Year' for his contribution to a host of green initiatives within the emirate. Another big winner on the night was Altaaqa Global Cat Rental Power, who took home the 'Power Project of the Year Award' for its role in the installation of a 54MW power plant in Aden, Yemen. Majid Zahid, director for strategic accounts at Altaaqa Global, said, "This achievement demonstrates our capability to deliver effective and efficient energy solutions. Our strategic partners in Caterpillar, together with our engineering team, always provide the most modern equipment and innovative solutions that no
other rental power company can match. "Our work in Oman where we installed 24MW in just 96 hours, and our Yemen power plant which took only 23 days to build, are record breaking in the energy industry." Ahmad Matar Khalifa Alsuwaidi from Dubai Aluminium was named 'Young Engineer of the Year', while the 'Lighting Project of the Year' went to the Abu Dhabi Department of Transport for the Ras Al Akhdar Bainoonah street lighting project. In the 'Solar Project of the Year' category, First Solar beat the rest of the field for Phase 1 of the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park project. "The judges were very impressed with the wide range of entries this year," remarked Anita Mathews, director of Informa Energy Group, organisers of MEE. "The scope of work presented for critique was diverse, thought-provoking and is a testament to the health of the industry, as well as the growth we can expect to see in the coming years." Solar Middle East, held once again alongside MEE, also demonstrated its growing presence within Dubai's hectic trade show calendar. The show demonstrated a marked increase in both exhibition and visitor numbers since its inception in 2013. Daw Naser, general manager of Mazaya Electronic System from Libya, said, "I think the solar exhibition is very good and I think it will grow in the future. I'm looking specifically at the solar sector as we currently face big challenges in Libya. "This my first visit to the event and I'm going to return next year as all of the big companies are here," he added. Middle East Electricity will return for its 38th edition next year, taking place from 2-4 March 2015 at the Dubai International Convention and Exhibition Centre. ■

HIMOINSA's Middle East expansion shows no signs of slowing down SPANISH POWER SPECIALIST HIMOINSA has ambitious plans in place to increase its already impressive presence in the Middle East's challenging power generation market. The firm used leading power industry platform Middle East Electricity to launch a revolutionary new generator set. Developed with rental companies in mind, the 500 kW Power Cube HPCW 510 generator has been designed to be 50 per cent shorter in body length than conventional 500 kW generators. Speaking to Technical Review during MEE, Guillermo Elum, sales and marketing department director at HIMOINSA, explained, "Cube is a super silent genset that fits into a 10-foot square container. With this system we can reduce the dimensions compared with a standard genset unit by more than 35 per cent." Speaking about the new product, Terry McGuire, general manager of FAMCO’s Power & Industrial Products Division, an AlFuttaim Group company and HIMOINSA’s exclusive distributor in the UAE, Qatar and Saudi Arabia, remarked, "The reaction at MEE has been very good. We’ve had lots of people very interested in it – it’s a very good, compact and unique machine." Discussing HIMOINSA’s participation in markets throughout the Middle East, Elum cited Saudi Arabia as one of the markets the firm is most active in within the region, along with Bahrain, Qatar and the two largest UAE emirates, Abu Dhabi and Dubai. In Saudi Arabia, the firm has been busy working on the railway project that will connect Jeddah with Mecca, for which it has been using its expertise to supply special gensets to help secure the railroad system. "We have been working for many years in this region," Elum noted. "Our units can work in the heat and dust, and we have the expertise of being able to monitor gensets from offices and workshops located many miles away – even in different countries. "We are working in partnership with FAMCO to organise the maintenance and service, and our Dubai office has been very supportive. In terms of distributorship, we have seven branches in Saudi Arabia and will be opening two more soon. "In Bahrain, we provide gensets and secure standby applications for the the King Fahd Causeway linking Saudi Arabia. In partnership with FAMCO, we have also delivered gensets with a capacity of 2,000 kV for security systems at a brand new Ikea store in Qatar," he added.
HIMOINSA sales and marketing department director Guillermo Elum at Middle East Electricity 2014
Despite the large amount of orders taken by the Spanish manufacturer in the Middle East in recent years, the firm's growing presence across the region has shown no signs of slowing down, with both Yemen, Kuwait and the gradually opening market of Iran all potential future markets. "Yemen is quite interesting for power plant projects, while Kuwait's power generation sector is expanding, as it is in Iran," Elum remarked. "We are a vertically-integrated manufacturer, and while there are many genset makers out there who buy different components from different suppliers, we have the advantage of being able to offer products that can be manufactured under one roof. With factories already established in China, the USA, India, Brazil, France and Spain, HIMOINSA is now looking at setting up a plant in the Middle East due to the region's position as a logistics hub. Elum added that the company was also planning to launch new lighting tower models for different industry sectors in the region. These towers will work using 30 kV gensets to provide power to LED systems. “LED towers will lessen consumption cost and fuel intake, so it’s sustainable in the long run. We will be launching these products in the Middle East in March,” Elum concluded.
Middle East Electricity proves a success for Rittal Middle East RITTAL MIDDLE EAST'S participation in Middle East Electricity ended successfully with a high number of positive leads attained on its Innovations Stand.

Qudurat Holding company invests US$1.3bn in Saudi infrastructure SAUDI-BASED ABDULAZIZ ALSAGHYIR Holding Company and Abdul Mohsen Al Hokair Trading Group have joined forces to establish Qudurat Development Holding Company, injecting US$1.3bn in Saudi infrastructure. Qudurat Development Holding Company will mainly manage airport operations, renewable energies and water, it revealed. According to Hisham Alsaghyir, who been named as the new chairman of the company, the creation of Qudurat Development Holding Company is expected to improve investment opportunities. “The partnership is also in line with the strategy of broadening their base, developing their business and expanding into new sectors, which consequently enhances the kingdom’s privatisation efforts and strengthen the sector with huge investment opportunities,” Alsaghyir said. “In its first phase, the new company shall mainly focus on the market given the size of its infrastructure privatisation sector and also in order to fulfill the local requirements, Alsaghyir added.
Construction projects in Oman boosts demand for cement OMAN IS EXPECTED to see a six per cent rise in the demand for cement over the next four years following mega infrastructure projects and tourism ventures. The Omani government said it aims to improve the tourism and transport sectors over the next few years. “Hence according to industry sources, cement demand in Oman is expected to rise in line with that in the region, at an average annual rate of six per cent through 2016,” said a research report released by Al Maha Financial Service here. Construction contracts issued across the sectors is set to double from an estimated 6.7bn last year to around US$12bn in 2014, industry reports stated. A rise in the number and size of construction projects in the region has led to demand for cement expected to grow at the same pace. Al Maha revealed that cement producers in the area aimed to meet customer demands for cement, while competing with foreign producers to improve efficiency. Oman-based Raysut Cement Company and Oman Cement Company, have a combined cement production capacity of 7.mn tpa and a clinker production capacity of 6mn tpa. The positive outlook for domestic cement demand has encouraged producers to expand capacity and enhance operational efficiency. Oman Cement is currently enhancing its kiln no. 1, which is set for completion in 2014, designing a new 150 tph cement grinding mill and aims to enhance its line no. 2. Raysut Cement is constructing two cement terminals in Duqm Port and in Berbera Port,
Construction projects across Oman have led to an increase in cement demand
Somalia, building a grinding plant in Yemen and increasing production capacity at its UAE subsidiary Pioneer Cement. "The two companies operate at a utilisation of 80 per cent of their total 7.2mn tonnes annual capacity, producing 5.8mn tonnes of cement last year," stated the report. "As the cement demand improves and the plant upgradation and expansion is completed, the companies are expected to record higher production and utilisation levels with the modernised facilities in the coming years,” it continued. "We also expect the realisations to stabilise at the current levels and show marginal improvement in the coming years as the competitive pressure eases and the excess capacity is absorbed by the commencement of various mega projects announced in the region." According to Al Maha, the transportation sector focuses on rail, sea, roads and airports with the 2244-km national rail project being a key part of the infrastructure programme.

The next generation of compact loaders Bobcat’s new platform compact loaders offer several unique features which enhance operating capabilities and performance
B
OBCAT’S 500, 600, 700 and 800 ranges of compact loaders offer improvements that significantly extend the range of applications for loaders of this type. Features of the loaders include a unique forward-positioned, high comfort cab that moves the operator closer to the attachment and provides visibility in all directions around the machine. The door threshold has also been lowered and the overall surface of the door has been increased by more than 40 per cent to provide improved forward visibility, coupled with enhanced visibility through the top, side and rear windows. Offering the largest door opening available and 10 per cent more space inside for the operator, the cab makes it easier for operators to enter and exit. The new cab also allows the operator to adjust the environment to their individual preferences with ample adjustment in seat and suspension to produce the best working conditions. The optional best-in-industry pressurisation on the cab improves heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) performance by 35 per cent. The cab is based on a new one-piece seal that goes all the way around the door and fits into a special curved pocket; this minimises the amount of dirt and dust that might enter the cab, making it easier to clean.
Cab noise has also been reduced by more than 50 per cent for a more comfortable working environment. Operators meanwhile have a choice between standard foot pedal hydraulic controls, the Advanced Control System (ACS) or the Selectable Joystick Controls (SJC). The standard foot pedals control the lift and tilt through mechanical linkage, while the optional ACS lets the operator use a dash-mounted switch to instantly select between advanced hand control or advanced foot control of lift and tilt functions. The low-effort control levers of the optional SJC can be operated in the ISO or H pattern. These handles move up and down in conjunction with the seat to reduce arm movement and operator fatigue, while the joystick mounts also slide forwards or backwards to adjust to the requirements of each individual operator. The cab on the new generation loaders is radio-ready with a 12-volt power outlet for charging mobile phones and other devices, a cup holder, added storage compartments and new full-colour, optional deluxe instrument panels. This is complemented by a 50 per cent increase in the front work lights output using optimised reflectors and lenses. The cab is also equipped with front door and rear window emergency removal handles.
The new 500 platform comprises six new generation models: the S510, S530, S550, S570 and S590 skid-steer loaders and the T590 compact tracked loader. The S510 and S550 models are radius lift path loaders, combining excellent manoeuvrability in tight areas with the reach and visibility needed for applications such as dumping materials over walls, backfilling or loading flatbed trucks. The S530, S570, S590 and T590 models feature vertical lift path boom arms particularly suited to lift and carry as well as material-handling applications. Meanwhile, the 600 Series comprises three models: the S630 radial lift path skid-steer loader, the S650 vertical lift path loader and the T650 compact tracked loader. The 700 Series comprises a skid-steer loader model, the S770, a compact tracked loader, the T770 and an all-wheel-steer loader, the A770. All three loaders offer higher rated operating capacities and increased engine and hydraulic power, allowing users to take on new, more demanding applications. Finally, the 800 Series contains the new S850 skid-steer loader and T870 compact tracked loader, the most powerful loaders offering the highest lift height ever manufactured by the company. The S850 and T870 loaders are intended to run the most powerful attachments from Bobcat such as wheelsaws to cut trenches for cable/pipe laying, including the WS32 wheelsaw. The hydraulic systems have therefore been engineered for higher standard flow and pressure to provide more power for work with attachments. The standard auxiliary hydraulic flow on the S850 is 87 litres per minute (l/min) at 241 bar, while the optional high flow feature delivers 140 l/min for maximum attachment performance. On the T870, the standard auxiliary hydraulic flow is 90 l/min, with an optional high flow of 142 l/min. â–

HE MIDFIELD TERMINAL Complex (MTC) at Abu Dhabi International Airport is currently one of the most important construction projects in the UAE, with the airport being one of the world's fastest growing aviation hubs. The new X-shaped airport terminal is being built between the north and south runways. At the four piers of the Midfield Terminal Building (MTB), 65 large aircraft up to the size of an Airbus A380 can be accommodated. From 2017 onwards, up to 30mn passengers will be handled annually, supported by the world's largest baggage handling system. The centrepiece of the terminal is the more than 50 metre high terminal building,
called the Central Processor. The sevenstorey structure features an area totalling 700,000 sq m.
System equipment The ambitious terminal project is the ultimate construction site: around 12,000 construction workers are currently working in shifts around the clock while, at peak times, this increases to almost 17,000 site personnel. This is because more than 1,000 cu m of concrete must be formed every day. Once completed, the airport construction project will have processed approximately 700,000 cu m of concrete and 200,000 tonnes of steel. Work is currently progressing exactly according to the schedule.

Formwork
In order to comply with the short construction period, PERI is designing as well as supplying the formwork and scaffolding systems, and has provided specialist engineering services and fast deliveries of huge quantities of materials. The concept developed by PERI engineers can be flexibly adapted to suit the different ground plan geometries and storey heights of the terminal complex. At present, around 6,200 slab tables are in continuous use on the construction sites as only 18 months have been earmarked for building the shell of the Central Processor. The PERI on-site formwork provision amounts to almost 65,000 sq m, an area nearly as large as 10 football pitches. Within a very short time, over 60,000 robust stacking frames of the PD 8 shoring system were delivered to the jobsite. The shoring towers are quickly and easily assembled requiring a minimum of personnel and the high loads from the floor slabs and beams are reliably and safely transferred into the ground.
The PERI concept can be adapted to suit the terminal’s different ground plan geometries and storey heights
One pour The massive, mostly 0.85 metre wide and 1.1 metre high beams are being constructed together with the slabs in one pour. PD 8 slab tables that are six to 10 metre high serve as the supporting structure, which can be moved manually to the next section each time by means of a transportation trolley without the use of a crane. Based on the 1.5 metre framewidth of the PD 8 shoring system, the standard table width for this particular project is 2.65 metre. With the help of appropriately-sized diagonal braces for bay lengths between 1.25 metre and 3.5 metre, the table lengths can vary

The shoring towers are quickly and easily assembled requiring a minimum of personnel according to project requirements. In Abu Dhabi, slab tables mostly with 2.65 metre widths and 3.6 metre lengths are in continuous use. As side formwork for the beams, mainly 75 cm wide, horizontally-positioned LIWA formwork elements are being used. One big advantage of the LIWA wall formwork system is the extremely low weight of the individual panels. As a result, striking by hand in particular is considerably simplified thus accelerating construction site procedures.
Dubai Aluminium orders ultrasonic testing devices UAE-BASED DUBAI ALUMINIUM (DUBAL) has awarded Austrian company Hertwich Engineering, with the supply of two helical ultrasonic testing devices for its casthouses. The new equipment will raise the capacity of DUBAL’s testing facilities to ensure good product quality and to manage higher production volumes. Both ultrasonic testing devices are equipped with 10 volume probes and 20 angle-beam scanning probes and are therefore able to examine the entire billet volume and the surface zone for defects and inclusions. The two facilities are designed to examine billets with diameters from 152 to 406 mm. Commissioning of the ultrasonic testing devices in Casthouse 2 took place in February 2014, while commissioning in Casthouse 1 is scheduled for July 2014. Hertwich Engineering GmbH is part of the SMS group, which is made up of companies specialising in machinery and plant construction in steel and nonferrous metals processing. www.hertwich.com
The individual panels of the LIWA wall formwork system are extremely light
Comprehensive formwork solution In addition to the cost-effective slab formwork concept for the floor areas, PERI engineers have developed a comprehensive formwork solution for walls and columns. For realising the total of 4,000 massive, reinforced concrete columns with one to 2.5 metre edge lengths – resulting in a wide
range of dimensions – the construction crew are using VARIO GT 24 column formwork and project-related SRS circular column formwork elements. Furthermore, the up-to 12.5 metre high reinforced concrete walls are being efficiently formed with the VARIO GT 24 girder wall formwork system. ■
Expanded GE manufacturing centre to produce advanced gas turbines GENERAL ELECTRIC (GE) has announced plans to manufacture its most advanced, high efficiency gas turbines at the GE Manufacturing Technology Centre at Dammam Industrial City-II. The move forms part of GE's commitment to invest US$1bn in Saudi Arabia. At a recent reception, GE revealed its plan to continue developing manufacturing capability in the Kingdom and to manufacture its most advanced gas turbines at the Centre. The expansion plans are expected to be completed in 2016. The plan is designed to develop local talent and supply chain capabilities and construct state-ofthe-art facilities at the centre. The expanded facility will create several jobs and have the capability to produce eight to 10 gas turbines per year. There will also be ample room for future expansion factored in. "GE has been a long-term partner of SEC in driving our power plants by providing the latest in turbine technology and after-sales support," Ziyad Al-Shiha, CEO of Saudi Electricity Company, was quoted as saying at the reception by The Saudi Gazette. "The expansion of a local manufacturing facility can potentially drive localised innovation of turbines to help meet specific needs, thus, adding to our operational efficiency." GE Power & Water president and CEO Steve Bolze said, "We are honoured to have the opportunity to support the Kingdom in not only powering its industries, but to strengthen the skills of its people. A strong local manufacturing base, with a skilled workforce, robust supply chain, and the opportunity to produce the world's best technology, is a tremendous asset to a growing economy. We are privileged to expand our long-standing commitment to the Kingdom and I look forward to being here in 2016 when that first gas turbine rolls out of the Centre." The Manufacturing Technology Centre in Dammam is an established centre for gas turbine service and manufacturing, and today supplies more than 70 customers from 30 countries. With a workforce of 600, nearly 75 per cent of them Saudi Arabian, the Centre has delivered support to increase the performance of more than 550 gas turbines to date.
