THE REGION’S POWER requirements are well documented, and it’s to the UAE that equipment suppliers travel to find the best networking and sales opportunities. Why? Because they believe the best industry shows are held here, and the forthcoming Power + Water Middle East is no exception. Associated with Middle East Electricity, this year’s international Power + Water Middle East exhibition and related technical seminar/leaders’ forum and social/networking events is the Gulf’s exclusive early-season showcase of power- and water-related products and services from top suppliers all over the world. The background to this time-proven dual-sector show is once again the continuing predictably explosive growth of power and water demand in all countries in the GCC region. For example, UAE electricity output (from all sources) is predicted to grow by 40 per cent by 2020. And a massive increase in water storage is planned for nearby gas-fuelled Qatar, designed to provide a whole week’s emergency storage. A particular highlight this time around is a repeat of the successful Leaders’ Forum, when individual 30-minute sessions will focus on the latest innovations.

BRIEFLY ■ A BAHRAIN SUBCONTRACTING and partnership exchange portal has been launched by the Industry and Commerce Ministry in co-operation with the Gulf Organisation for Industrial Consulting (GOIC). It aims to bring together and match enquiries and offers for subcontracting work and outsourcing. The exchange will provide technical information on industrial specialities, skill sets and capacities of Bahraini enterprises and engage in matching these with the requirements of the buyers.

■ IRAQ’S GDP IS expected to grow by 33 per cent over the next three years, according to a report from Reuters. The average rate of about 10 per cent per annum over the next three years will be driven by increased oil revenues, Mudher Kasim, deputy governor of the central bank, said in an interview.

“Without the oil, in my opinion, it (GDP) would not exceed 4.5 per cent,” he said.

Qatar’s GDP boost

Plastics boost Saudi jobs

QATAR’S ECONOMIC diversity aided by hydrocarbon revenue will help increase its share of global GDP at market exchange rates to 0.4 per cent in 2030, almost double the 2010 level, the Economist Intelligence Unit said in a country report. The report added that the country’s population will hit around 4.3mn in 2030, through immigration. The country’s population stood at 1.71mn in July, Statistics Authority data show.

Government expenditure will continue to rise, the report said with projects related to the 2022 football World Cup beginning during the forecast period (2012-16). However, increased hydrocarbons production will ensure that the fiscal account remains in surplus.

THE SAUDI GOVERNMENT is developing new industrial parks for plastics conversion to stimulate investments and create jobs, according to a new report.

The new parks are part of the government’s plans to create new industrial parks for mixed-use light industry across the country, particularly in under-developed regions. Some of these parks will be located next to production complexes for plastics resins and dedicated to plastics conversion, the ICB report said.

As a result, plastics conversion will be expanded beyond the main hubs of Dammam, Jeddah and Riyadh. According to energy and chemicals consultancy Nexant, about 90 per cent of plastics conversion in Saudi Arabia takes place across five industrial parks developed by government agency Saudi Industrial Property Authority in Dammam 1, Dammam 2, Jeddah 1, Jeddah 2 and Riyadh.

A new plastics park has also been created next to the Rabigh petrochemicals complex owned by Petro Rabigh, a joint venture between stateowned Saudi Aramco and Japan’s Sumitomo Chemical.

Saudi Aramco also plans to Boosting jobs develop a plastics park.

Khartoum most expensive city for expats, survey finds THE COST OF living for expats living in the Middle East has fallen, mainly because of slower price increases on goods and services, a new survey by consulting firm Mercer found in its Worldwide Cost Of Living Survey 2012.

Jeddah continued to rank as the least expensive city for expats among the Arabcities, placed at 186th position globally.

Khartoum ranked as the most expensive Arabic city, standing at 26th position globally, followed by Beirut which advanced eight places to 67th globally and Abu Dhabi which dropped nine places to 76th.

The survey covers 214 cities across five continents and compares the cost of over 200 items in each location,

including transport, food, clothing, household goods and entertainment.

The cost of housing is also included and, as it is often the biggest expense for expatriates, it plays an important part in determining where cities are ranked.

Recent world events, including economic and political upheavals, have changed the rankings for many regions through currency fluctuations, inflation, and volatility in accommodation prices.

Globally, Tokyo was ranked the most expensive city for expatriates, followed by Luanda, Angola and Osaka, Karachi was ranked the world's less expensive city for expats, dropping seven places to 214.

BRIEFLY ■ SAUDI ARABIA’S REAL GDP swelled by around 5.5 per cent in Q2 and growth was fuelled by the private sector, mainly construction and communication, according to a key Saudi investment firm.

■ THE WORLD BANK has resumed working in Yemen after more than a year following political unrest that overthrew former President Ali Abdullah Saleh.

During the recent Friends of Yemen Conference in Riyadh, the bank provided Yemen with an estimated US$61mn monetary grant to support public service projects.

■ EGYPT IS LIKELY to need more than US$10bn in external financing to help it get its economy on track, a senior EU official said recently. The official said the European Union and other institutions and countries were considering financial support for Egypt in addition to a US$4.8bn loan which Cairo has requested from the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

Good indications SAUDI ARABIA’S LEADING indicator, the purchasing manager's index (PMI) which measures manufacturing and services sector performance rose to 58.3 points in August from 58.1 points in July. The seasonally adjusted index remains well above the 50.0 point mark separating growth from contraction.

This suggests business conditions in the kingdom’s non-oil sector are resilient and buoyed by strong domestic demand.

Similarly, other leading indicators such as July's banking data are pointing towards an upward momentum. Governmentinfluenced consumption will be the major driver helped by wage and pensions hikes.

Lebanese must seek new outlets LEBANON’S INDUSTRY Minister, Vreij Sabounjian, has called on Lebanese industrialists to explore new markets recently to offset the impact of an anticipated economic recession.

Speaking during the launch of a campaign to promote Lebanese industry, Sabounjian said: “The coming days and months will not be easy, and we will have to face the repercussions of a recessionary period despite the abilities and capacities of the Lebanese economy.”

Under the slogan Your industry, Your Identity: Buy Lebanese, the campaign intends to bolster the image of Lebanese products both at home and abroad.

Responding to questions by industrialists attending the conference, Sabounjian urged traders to report any forgeries which targeted Lebanese goods.

The minister also reiterated earlier criticism of some trade agreements which he deemed unfair to Lebanon.

“How can Lebanon, a country of four million, sign a fair [agreement] with Turkey, country with over 80mn inhabitants?” he asked, in reference to a freetrade deal between the Vreij Sabounjian two countries.

Counterfeit equipment may put lives at risk - DuPont DUPONT, RECENTLY RECEIVED a favourable, albeit still provisional decision against a group of textile manufacturers doing business and operating in the European Union and India, and distributing products to the UAE and elsewhere in the GCC, for infringing its trademark rights by distributing Nomex® branded garments that did not actually contain genuine Nomex® fibers. The recent decision from The Hague District Court includes provisional orders to immediately cease and desist from infringing DuPont trade marks rights or penalties will be imposed.

Counterfeit products in the Middle East continue to be a problem, not only causing economic damage but also posing serious risk to lives and property. Dubai alone seized US$12mn worth of fake goods in 2011, involving more than 500 cases.

Customs

authorities note that concerted efforts to combat counterfeiting and piracy could reduce cases to less than a hundred and limit damages to US$800,000 at most.

Concerns over the influx of fake protective equipment are particularly strong; as such products could spell the difference between life and death to emergency responders. Fire-prone regions such as the Middle East have been uncovering the sale of counterfeit items such as gloves, high-visibility vests and heat-resistant clothing which can be hard to detect by the untrained eye.

Amr El-Moniem, Regional Manager, Middle East & North Africa, DuPont Protection Technologies said, “Manufacturers and employers have a responsibility to keep workforces safe at work and in order to stay vigilant, certified goods are of paramount importance.

The growing attraction of solar energy First Solar's Agua Caliente solar power plant in Arizona

In a significant industrial development, US-based company, First Solar, is turning increasingly to the sun-soaked Middle East as a key market for its solar technology and is looking to expand its regional operations there, especially in Saudi Arabia.

B

ESSMA ALJARBOU, who heads the company’s Middle East business development activities, spoke to Technical Review about the state of the solar industry in the area and outlined his strategy for introducing its integrated solar system technologies on a much wider basis.

First Solar's main completed project in the region is the 5 MW system at Masdar. It also has multiple test systems up and running throughout the region and a number of projects at the development stage.

In June, the company joined The King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) NEO testing and demonstration programme in Saudi Arabia, an important step enabling it to showcase its solar capabilities at the heart of a key area for their future development.

"Being the largest country, Saudi Arabia is naturally the largest market for solar power in the region with a fast-growing energy demand, and a government at present taking a very hard, serious look at its energy and industrial profile," said Aljarbou.

First Solar is a leading global provider of comprehensive photovoltaic (PV) solar systems and Aljarbou believes that large-scale PV projects could really help the region meet its rapidly escalating power demand.

"Large scale PV projects are perfect for the Middle East.

Maintenance is simple and doesn’t require water. In a region with year-on-year rising demand for electricity, PV can be deployed quickly and to any relatively flat location," said Aljarbou.

First Solar believes that PV offers major advantages. Being cost competitive and quickly deployable is a considerable plus when dealing with soaring energy demand. Thin-film photovoltaic modules in particular perform well in high temperature environments and can be deployed in regions with high dust levels.

According to the Fraunhofer Institute, PV can go up to 30 per cent of total capacity without any adjustments on controls and storage.

One of the main reasons why the region is turning its attention more to the potential of solar power is that the cost

PV solar systems are cost-competitive, reaching low levels of US$12-15 cents/kWh in the Middle East’s environment

My Dad Tests Relays

... and he is really excited about OMICRON´s test equipment!

No wonder Dad is so excited: Over the last 20 years, OMICRON has helped him to do a great job – and, with the following two products, his life gets even easier:

The CMC 353 meets a wide variety of challenges in protection engineering – from the testing of electromechanical relays to the latest IEC 61850 IEDs.

OMICRON’s latest protection test set, the CMC 353, provides the perfect combination of portability and power with its compact design, light weight (12.9 kg) and powerful current sources (3 x 32 A / 430 VA).

OMICRON’s Test Universe software enables CMC test sets to provide the ultimate in automated protection testing. Now, for speedy manual tests, the CMControl unit offers a convenient and easy to use alternative:

The CMControl provides quick verification of test objects, utilizing an intuitive touch screen user interface and a control wheel.

In addition to its use as a front panel control unit, its flexibility also allows it to be used as a hand-held device or it can be magnetically attached to a protection cubicle for convenient eye-level operation.

Dad can even upgrade his existing CMC devices. Now that´s exciting!

of generating solar electricity has reached competitive levels when compared with the true cost of oil-burning generation and peak gas generation.

"Solar is a viable alternative to existing generation sources and has the advantage of creating jobs in a region with high youth unemployment and reducing high levels of pollution," Aljarbou explained.

The Middle East is certainly moving in the right direction, albeit slowly, especially with regard to preparing for the implementation of policies and frameworks that will allow for multiple GWs of solar power plants to be deployed in the next few years.

The main hurdle to the uptake of solar power technology in the region is the fact that energy costs are highly subsidised to the point that the only entity feeling the pain of these subsidies may be the Ministry of Finance rather than the controllers of the market (i.e. the utilities and electricity regulators).

Although the Middle East region is moving in the right

direction in regards to solar energy, it remains slow according to Aljarbou. This is especially true when it comes to preparing for the implementation of policies and frameworks that will allow for multiple GWs of solar power plants to be deployed in the next few years.

Aljarbou feels that governments need to develop and implement policies and frameworks that allow for the development of solar power plants and create incentives for the creation of local know-how and industry.

He highlighted the difficult economic environment that the global solar industry is facing but believes that it was an important step in a maturing industry.

“First Solar has countered the downturn by diversifying its product, offering to include turnkey systems, trackers and operation and maintenance services,” he stated.

“We have also shifted our strategy to focus on sustainable markets where the cost of generating solar power is, or soon will be, competitive with existing or new conventional power.

This is why the Middle East is a key focus within the

Middle East CFO optimism ‘among highest globally in Q2’ CFOS IN THE Middle East reported the highest level of optimism during the second quarter of 2012, compared to 11 other geographies surveyed, according to a Deloitte report.

The Global CFO Signals report highlighted the results of a recent CFO survey conducted by Deloitte from around the globe, gauging attitudes towards the general economic outlook, financing, valuations and risk.

Deloitte Middle East CFO programme leader James Babb said, "Globally, pessimism amongst CFOs is growing, having increased from the first quarter of 2012.

"Continuing worries associated with the Eurozone debt crisis, fears of potential slowdowns in China and India, and renewed concerns about the US economic situation have collided to make CFOs rethink their positive vibes. Yet, the main exception out of the 11 geographies surveyed is the Middle East, where optimism amongst CFOs is growing."

According to the report, more than half of CFOs in the region say they are optimistic about their company’s prospects, but that is down from 72 per cent in the first half of 2011. Optimism in the Middle East is being bolstered by the higher price of oil and market growth in the region.

But political tensions in the region, coupled with the Eurozone crisis, are causing some finance chiefs concern, with 74 per cent of them rating the general level of external financial and economic uncertainty as either above normal or at a high level. Due to this level of uncertainty, when asked if it is

a good time to be taking greater risk with their balance sheets, 72 per cent of the respondents said “no”, according to the report.

CFOs in the region continue to view risk negatively with 72 per cent saying now is not the time to take more on, despite the fact that 60 per cent expect levels of mergers and acquisitions (M&A) to somewhat increase in the region, up from 43 per cent in Q3 2011.

Priorities for the future Over the next 12 months, CFOs are focused on reducing costs and increasing cash flow. Disposing of assets and

capital expenditure and raising dividends/share buybacks are not high priorities. In fact, some 35 per cent of the CFOs expect free cash flow to increase by up to 10 per cent, primarily driven by increasing revenues.

The respondents are most likely to use existing cash or operating cash flow to fund these transactions. However, only 38 per cent of the CFOs would look into acquiring in a new geographical region.

This focus on potential acquisitions stems from the view of almost 50 per cent of CFOs that equity values are somewhat undervalued; 27 per cent believe they are at fair value.

BRIEFLY ■ GULF EXTRUSIONS, ONE of the largest aluminum extrusion plants in the region, has announced that in response to rapidly growing demand in key export markets the exports to India have increased by 300 per cent this year compared to 2011, establishing India as a key destination in the global expansion strategy of the company.

■ DUPONT REFRIGERANTS COMPLETED a five-year effort to shutdown a trader of counterfeit refrigerants in the UAE. The trader’s counterfeit activities were far-reaching, with links to counterfeit refrigerant gases found in Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Jordan. In late 2007, a suspected trader of counterfeit refrigerants was identified in a market survey.

A subsequent raid exposed the trader’s practice of importing prefilled unbranded refrigerant containers from China and relabeling the containers with the DuPont brand name

Revolutionising Saudi Arabia’s traffic SCHNEIDER ELECTRIC, A global specialist in energy management announced that its recent acquisition Telvent, a leading real-time IT solutions and information provider, has completed implementation of the company’s first intelligent transportation system, SmartMobility Road Suite, on King Abdullah Road in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

SmartMobility projects achieve a marked reduction in both the number of accidents, and travel time within city limits, as well as a drop in fuel consumption. Thereby marking a clear decline in CO2 emissions, and directly improving air quality.

With urban populations set to double by 2050 and accounting for 70 per cent of the world’s population, transportation systems will be impacted, increasing congestion, threatening safety, delaying commuters, burning up valuable fuel, and harming the environment.

To meet these challenges, SmartCities around the world are relying on Schneider Electric’s Smart Mobility solutions for integrated city management—improving mobility for citizens through operational efficiency and smart information.

The first smart transportation system to be implemented in Saudi Arabia, Schneider Electrics SmartMobility manages inter-urban expressway traffic through a centralised platform. The system controls and www.schneider-electric.com manages the four tunnels and the entire range of field devices in place along the expressway’s length of six kilometres, increasing user safety and security and improving infrastructure maintenance. The solution also provides real-time information on traffic conditions, which enables local authorities to respond rapidly in a co-ordinated manner to any incidents that may occur on the expressway, in accordance with action plans that are pre-determined by the application.

Solar trials in the Sudan EIGHT19, WHICH LAUNCHED its Indigo pay as you go personal solar electricity system for offgrid communities in Kenya in September 2011, has begun trials of fully printed plastic solar modules in Africa.

Based on the company’s Organic Photovoltaic (OPV) technology, the Indigo solar home systems have been deployed in South Sudan in order to evaluate the performance of the new solar technology in the challenging environmental conditions that are found close to the equator.

Organic solar technology is so named because it is based on primarily carbon-based materials rather than traditional silicon.

The ambient temperature printing processes used to make the modules results in a flexible, robust device that has a fraction of the embedded energy of conventional solar modules.

In addition, in contrast to conventional solar modules, organic solar technologies do not drop in efficiency at higher operation temperatures, making them well suited to offgrid applications in Africa where the ambient temperature can exceed 40 degrees.

The modified Indigo systems contain anonymous data logging circuitry to monitor the electrical performance of the solar modules in real use. Eight19 is working closely with leading chemical and materials suppliers, using this reaI world data to characterise the component parts of the new solar modules and further develop the device performance in realistic customer environments.

Around 1.6bn people, over one fifth of the world’s population, lack access to electricity via a grid and pay high prices for kerosene to serve basic needs such as lighting. By combining solar and mobile phone technology, Eight19 is bringing

Organic solar modules show no decrease in efficiency when operating at high temperatures

electricity directly to people’s homes thereby by passing the need for a grid connection. By offering solar power as a service, without high purchase costs, these users can now access clean electricity for less than their current spend on kerosene.

Simon BransfieldIGarth, Chief Executive Officer at Eight19 said, “This is an important milestone for Eight19. The ability to incorporate leading edge printed solar modules in a commercial application and to feed back the results, not only to Eight19 but also to our materials suppliers, will provide invaluable data both for ourselves and for the industry, as we develop the new devices.”

Eight19’s organic solar modules are presently in the development phase and larger scale deployment is expected to begin in early 2013.

Contract logistics market to grow BARLOWORLD LOGISTICS, a provider of logistics and supply chain management solutions, announced that it is intensifying its growth plans in the Middle East as the region’s contract logistics services market expects to sustain a 6.9 per cent compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2011 to 2015, according to a study

by Transport Intelligence. The UAE, Qatar and Saudi Arabia will remain key growth catalysts for the contract logistics market in the Middle East, which is expected to reach a value of around US$3.7 bn in 2015, increasing from US$3 bn in 2011.

Barloworld Logistics predicts that market conditions will continue to improve in light of projected positive growth rates for the region. This will be compounded by the growing awareness of the strategic benefits of outsourced logistics solutions such as substantial cost savings, decreased cycle times, improved product and service quality, and enhanced customer satisfaction, which are acting as multipliers to the expected economic growth. The company will focus on delivering integrated smart supply chain solutions in the region, providing strategic support that empowers companies to align their supply chain strategy to their business strategy and enables them to be more efficient and competitive. www.barloworld-logistics.com

Regional fire industry raises standards RECENT DISCUSSIONS AMONG MENA civil defence authorities to ramp up fire safety standards across the board have intensified the acquisition of more reliable equipment, expertise and best practices among Arab states to further build up local fire fighting capabilities. Global business research and consulting firm Frost & Sullivan affirms that the call to action is expected to drive the Middle East’s fire safety market into a US$ 1.12 bn industry by 2013.

One area of particular concern is the safety of emergency responders and firefighters and the need for them to be fitted with high-quality protective clothing and equipment. Given the Middle East’s hot and arid conditions, firefighters need exceptional gear that can withstand the rigors of multiple roles that go beyond fire fighting.

A recent international survey revealed that fire rescue forms only a minor proportion of call-out incidents; fire fighting teams also provide emergency technical assistance in a wide range of environments. The region’s unique geographic profile demands gear that is highly durable, light and comfortable.

DuPont is spearheading efforts in this regard through materials such as its high-quality, intelligent flame resistant fibre, Nomex®.

Nomex® labelled garments are incorporated into fabric for use by firefighters and industrial workers all over the world. It can withstand exposure to extreme heat for over eight seconds without melting or dripping.

“The Middle East is highly susceptible to fires which, when uncontrolled, can be highly catastrophic. It is thus imperative for the region to have access to the best equipment and expertise to combat this perpetual threat. It is just as important to ensure the personal protection of fire fighters so that they can more effectively do their job.

With its heat resistance, strength and light weight, Nomex® makes firefighting as safe and as bearable as possible for our responders,” said Amr El-Moneim, DuPont™ Regional Marketing Manager.

HE ENTERPRISE APPLICATION Software (EAS) solutions market is helping drive the booming enterprise IT sector in the region, especially for Small Medium Enterprises (SMEs), explained Mansoor Sarwar, senior manager of presales at Sage Software Middle East & India.

The EAS market is a core part of IT spending and Sarwar noted that Sage was aiming to further leverage its wide range of software solutions and services across the Middle East SME segment.

According to important data that Sage has collected from market surveys by Gartner and IDC, Sarwar argued that there is a clear indication that IT spending is going to grow at a very healthy rate in the coming years, the growth appearing mainly in the MENA region.

A recent IDC report looked at the Middle East, Africa and Turkey and had predicted that IT spending in the region will surpass US$65bn this year, an increase of more than 12 per cent on 2011.

"This is the region to watch in terms of spending," Sarwar said.

The recent jump in IT spending is in stark

Mansoor Sarwar

The rise of enterprise software solutions A healthy future for regional enterprise application software solutions is predicted by Mansoor Sarwar, senior manager presales of Sage Software Middle East & India and a key player in the industry. contrast to the sector’s decline in the mature markets of North America and Europe. The Middle East region’s IT spending has been rising consistently over the last few years.

According to the Gartner research, IT spending in the Middle East should grow by 14.3 per cent this year.

Sarwar highlighted a Gartner report that global total IT spending is on target to reach US$3.6 trillion in 2012, a three per cent yearon-year rise from 2011. Sarwar pointed out

that out of total IT spending, over US$1.2 trillion is shared between Enterprise software and IT Services. The report also revealed that the global SME market, which represents approximately a quarter of all enterprise IT spending, is leading this growth.

"We are clearly seeing the SME sector is leading this trend in terms of growth of technology. One fourth of the technology spend is clearly coming from the mid-market to small medium market companies,” he said.

Sarwar believes that Customer Relationship Management (CRM) and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), which Sage supplies, are the cornerstone of what most companies are looking to invest in when it comes to IT. This is because the majority of IT spending in the Middle East is designed to accelerate growth and attract and retain more customers, while at the same time, improve efficiency.

He stressed that Sage is pushing these three fronts very hard, with the company offering a single solution that delivers both

sides of the technology. Sage has a diverse portfolio of solutions on offer, which includes Sage ERP X3, Sage CRM and Sage 300 ERP. Sarwar added, "Between these three technologies we have seen positive growth in the UAE and Qatar in particular and Middle East in general. ERP as a concept is still relatively new in the UAE market, but we have experienced double digit growth there.”

The UAE is also playing a leading role in the EAS market, where it is helping push the technology to a point where Sarwar believes that the more evolved end of the technology will dominate, such as business intelligence, cloud computing and mobile technology.

"We find the UAE is very receptive to business intelligence & cloud computing. It is growing at a very fast rate in different places and the UAE is now leading this trend in Middle East,” said Sarwar, concluding that Sage had seen a lot of positive developments in the region’s IT enterprise market, with cloud services and mobile devices having now moved the market to the next level of CRM and ERP. ■

Saudi Arabia

AUDI ARABIA’S ECONOMY has remained strong during the global economic downturn and has witnessed an increase in the number of construction contracts awarded in the first half of 2012. During the second quarter, the value of awarded contracts continued at a fast pace, reaching US$19.8bn.

The strong performance in Q2 means that the value of awarded contracts through the first half of 2012 reached US$33.7bn. This was largely as a result of mega-projects being awarded within the petrochemical and power sectors, which accounted for US$17.8bn of the first half’s total value, according to the report.

NCB Capital’s Index revealed that the power and petrochemical sectors were the main drivers during the second quarter as approximately US$13.8bn worth of contracts were awarded.

Infrastructure related sectors, such as the healthcare, education, urban development and roads, which have traditionally been the focus of public spending, contributed approximately US$7bn of the first half’s total value of awarded contracts.

Value of awarded contracts by sector in the second quarter

Construction contracts soar in Saudi Arabia NCB Capital's Construction Contracts Award Index Q2 2012 showed that there has been a significant increase in the value of awarded contracts in Saudi Arabia during the first half of 2012 and it is on course to eclipse 2011’s high performance.

The report highlighted the growth in awards. “Building on the fast growth that was exhibited during the first quarter, the US$19.8bn in awarded contracts during Q2 resulted in a substantial tally for the first half of the year.”

NCB Capital reported, "Although 2011 was considered to be a remarkable year in the construction sector, it appears that 2012 will continue this positive trend."

Regional advantage The Index also portrayed an insightful look at the spread of the awarded construction contracts within the country’s various regions.

The Eastern Province saw the highest amount of awarded contracts, with 37 per cent of all awarded contracts occurred in this part of Saudi Arabia.

This was mainly due to the sheer amount of mega-projects that were awarded in the petrochemical and power sectors in the region.

The Mecca region also had several mega-projects that were awarded in the petrochemical sector, mainly due to the development of Petro-Rabigh’s refinery and petrochemicals complex in

the city of Rabigh.

Saudi’s capital, Riyadh, and the Madinah region contributed 14 per cent each towards the value of the total awarded contracts. Riyadh benefitted from a number of contract awards across numerous sectors and Madinah’s share was largely due to the development of the third phase of the Yanbu Power Plant.

Strongest month NCB Capital’s Index showed the flow of contract awards for specific projects over the three-month period during the second quarter, giving a useful picture of sector domination month by month.

In April the contract awards were valued at approximately US$3.8bn, led by the transportation and education sectors, which are key sectors for the government.

continues to grow and is driven by aggressive construction of new roads, railways and integrated community development projects across the country.

One transport contract accounted for 21 per cent of the total value of awarded contracts during April. The contract was for the construction of Jeddah’s King Abdulaziz International airport’s aircraft maintenance, repair and operation (MRO) facility and was awarded by Saudi Aerospace Engineering Industries (SAEI) to a consortium led by Turkey’s TAV Construction for US$800mn.

The value of awarded contracts in the first half of 2012 reached US$33.7bn Value of awarded contracts by region in the second quarter

The education sector has received strong government support with high budgets that have contributed to the continued growth of the sector. The upward trend of budgetary allocations highlights the Saudi government’s conviction that education is the cornerstone of sustained economic development.

Within the education sector, US$640mn worth of contracts were awarded by the Ministry of Higher Education for the construction and development of various universities and associated facilities across the country.

The total value of awarded contracts in the education sector during the first half of the year totalled US$2.2bn.

The power sector contributed nearly US$590mn worth of awarded contracts during April with the largest contract been awarded by Saudi Aramco to Hyundai Heavy Industries for the expansion of three independent power and steam projects. The total value for this one power contract was US$430mn.

In May, the value of contracts awarded in Saudi nearly doubled to US$7.4bn, with the petrochemical and power sectors accounting for nearly 69 per cent of the total value of awarded contracts.

The power sector saw a total of US$1.7bn worth of contracts awarded in May. The most significant of these contracts was the development of PP12 (power plant 12) near Riyadh City. SEC awarded a US$1.25bn contract to Arabian Bemco and the plant is expected

to be completed within three years.

The transportation sector also had two big contracts awarded in the Mecca region.

The Mecca Development Authority awarded Saudi Binladin Group a US$510mn contract to build 19.5km of roads, bridges and tunnels in Mecca and the surrounding area. The construction is expected to be completed within three years.

The Eastern Province saw the highest amount of awarded contracts, with 37 per cent of all awarded contracts occurred in this part of Saudi Arabia The final month of the second quarter, June, saw the value of contract awards further increase to reach US$8.6bn; once again contracts were led by the petrochemical and power sectors which accounted for 89 per cent of the value of all contracts.

Approximately US$5.3bn worth of contracts were awarded in the petrochemical sector with the Al Jubail Petrochemical Company (Kemya-JV between SABIC and ExxonMobil) awarded six contracts worth US$3.4bn

to several international contractors.

The power sector saw US$2.3bn worth of awarded contracts in June. The megaproject awarded by the Saline Water Conversion Corporation (SWCC) and Marafiq to joint companies, Al Toukhi Contracting and Samsung Engineering, dominated, being worth US$1.8bn.

Finally, the industrial sector contributed US$510mn in June. The largest contract in terms of value was awarded by Southern Province Cement to China's Sinoma International Engineering Company for the construction of a third production line at its Tahama plant in the Mecca province.

The contract was valued at US$188mn and is due to be completed within 24 months.

Outlook In conclusion, NCB Capital said that, as expected, anchor sectors contributed a significant share of the value of the awarded contracts with 16 projects each worth US$270mn, most being awarded in the petrochemical sector alone.

“We expect this trend to continue into the second half of this year as the value of awarded contracts is anticipated to further increase during this period.

Additionally, non-anchor sectors are expected to take on a larger share of the overall value as the government’s 2012 budget called for heavy investment in the social infrastructure sectors,” the report predicted. ■

Predictive control valve maintenance New third generation control valve diagnostics offer enhanced maintenance efficiency and process performance.

M

ETSO CLAIMS THAT its new valve manager represents modern, third-generation valve diagnostics that are capable of processing the collected diagnostics information to visualise the condition of the valve in question with five different indices: Control performance, Valve condition, Actuator condition, Positioner condition and condition of the operating environment.

With processed and visualised diagnostics information the maintenance managers and engineers and process operators are capable of making educated decisions concerning the control valve maintenance without deep valve know-how.

Efficiently allocated Unexpected shutdowns can be avoided and the control valve performance can be

Figure 1: performance view

maintained at optimum level by continuously monitoring the condition of the installed base at the plant or mill and by taking the necessary preventive actions based on the available diagnostics information. Also, with the help of the diagnostics, the available maintenance resources can be more efficiently allocated during shutdowns.

When so called preventive or schedule based maintenance strategy is followed, many valves are often needlessly maintained during shutdowns. By focusing the maintenance actions on the valves really needing maintenance, significant maintenance cost savings can be achieved through reduced spare part purchases and reduced need for maintenance resources.

Metso’s new Valve Manager is available for the ND9000 series intelligent valve controllers. The ND9000 series intelligent valve controllers include several in build sensors and they are measuring various internal parameters. Based on this data and on the wide installed base and extensive service experience, Metso has developed mathematical algorithms to calculate the indices in the Performance view (presented in figure 1.).

Industry standard The third generation diagnostics are already available for control valves. The same level of information cannot yet be received from on-off or from ESD valve performance but Metso is developing its valve solutions further to bring these features available for the on-off and ESD valves as well. The technology benchmark devices on the on-off side, such as Metso’s SwitchGuardTM intelligent on-off valve controller, already include diagnostics features that are especially designed for on-off applications.

The industry standard for on-off valve control is presently more or less using solenoid valves to control the on-off movement. One of the downsides with the solenoids is clearly that they can’t provide any diagnostics data on the on-off valve performance. Thus it can already be seen with ESD valves, which are the most critical type of on-off valves, that in new green field projects smart partial stroke testing (PST) devices are being implemented.

Integrated devices The state-of-the-art smart PST devices, such as Metso’s ValvGuardTM, are used to conduct different tests for the ESD valves, both online and offline, providing diagnostics information on the ESD valve condition. Next step would be then to have the smart PST devices analyse the data further and provide similar indices that are presently already available for control valves.

For other on-off applications, besides the ESD, Metso has brought integrated solenoid and limit switch combinations to the market.

One example of such a device is Metso’s Axiom on-off valve controller, which can also provide basic diagnostics by giving fault alerts of possible changes in the on-off valve condition.

Some customers have already identified the need for diagnostics on the process critical on-off valves and the integrated devices can be seen as a first step towards this direction. ■

Velia ES order pickers aim to keep Mitsubishi ahead of the pack MITSUBISHI FORKLIFT TRUCKS has introduced VELIA ES – a six-model series of ultra-modern low level order pickers developed for maximum versatility.

Building on the award-winning ergonomic design of its OPB20NE, the new VELIA ES 1.0 to 2.0 tonne trucks are

A choice of load sections are available

available with a choice of load sections, including cantilever and scissor lift, which allow for loads to be lifted to an ergonomic height of 800 mm, to avoid strain for the operator. In addition, the new series includes three rising platform models which lift the operator to a height of 2.5 m for safe second level picking.

Developed for speed and manoeuvrability, the new order pickers incorporate a number of key developments that boost performance of truck and operator alike. The result is a large productivity advantage over competitors. For precise control, VELIA features highly sophisticated electronics.

The programmable controller allows adjustment of acceleration, speed and braking settings to match perfectly with the needs of different operators and applications. Users also benefit from an advanced electric steering system which offers automatic speed reduction in curves and automatic drive wheel centring to ensure operations are safe and productive at all times.

Special attention has been given to optimising operator movement. The truck’s

spacious operator area features the market’s biggest ever platform. For easy on/off access from both sides, the uncluttered walk-through cabin has a low step height of just 105 mm and chamfered platform edges. The entire floor mat acts as a floor sensor, allowing the truck to move as soon as the operator is in place, to minimise delays.

Each of the six models feature the ergonomically designed Maxius steering wheel, which brings all operating controls within easy reach of both hands.

Comfortable and responsive, it can be operated using one hand and can be adjusted to each operator’s ideal position.

The order pickers’ state-of-the-art features are complemented by a sleek, ultra-modern exterior. Their unique LED lighting design, offering see-and-be-seen safety, also acts as a turn indicator.

The low-maintenance design includes RapidAccess features for quick and easy entry to all areas for checks and maintenance.

Alba invests US$100mn in pot line ventilation ALBA HAS INVESTED nearly US$100mn in providing new air ventilation louvres for two of its pot lines.

The company said the new investment underlined its commitment to achieve zero harm across the plant.

The air ventilation louvre project was started last year as part of an initiative to improve work conditions for employees on a regular basis.

It aims at increasing productivity and enhancing performance levels. www.aluminiumbahrain.com "Our employees are our most valuable assets since it is primarily through their hard work that Alba today is one of the world's leading aluminium smelters," said chief executive Laurent Schmitt.

"Hence, the safety of our employees and improving of their work environment remains a continued focus as well as a priority.

"With smoother air circulation and cooler work conditions made possible, the new air ventilation louvres are expected to play a key role in boosting performance levels.

"The air ventilation louvres will basically operate as heat evacuation mechanisms that will allow fresh air to enter the shop floor leading to cooling down of surrounding temperatures," said Schmitt.

"It will benefit operators working in the north side of the pot lines who are involved in activities like anode changing and pot

maintenance.

"It has been further designed to close in winter and open in summer and thereby provide increased flexibility to Alba's employees," Schmitt added.

Alba's position as a company keen to promote its safety standards as a corporate citizen was highlighted recently during a visit to its premises by a 14-member delegation from the Electricity and Water Authority's (EWA) Water Transmission Directorate safety committee.

Alba's environment and safety engineer Hubert Satheesh met the delegation headed by EWA's safety and environment chief Qatami Al Marasi.

The delegation was briefed on safety guidelines and procedures adopted by Alba and was later given an insight on the company's operations and state-of-the-art production process involved in producing high-grade aluminium products and the company's presence in international markets.

"Alba takes pride in promoting safety as a key priority in all of its operations," said chief executive Laurent Schmitt.

"This priority is specified in our charter and remains a key focus for developing a safe working environment not only for our employees but also for the wider community.”

Transmission & Distribution

Ensuring the reliable transportation of power Siemens believe that gas insulated lines, a technology it has implemented in the region will see increasing use in the future.

T

HE PACE OF infrastructure development in the Middle East is staggering. In just a few decades entire cities have risen from the desert, complete with the power, water and transport infrastructures required to sustain life in the 21st century.

But the rate of expansion is not slowing. As the region takes full advantage of its hydrocarbon wealth and makes inroads into the diversification of individual economies, the population and urbanisation have risen massively. Fresh infrastructure is required, and no longer is there a blank canvas to work with – the expansion of power transmission in modern cities must take into account the tangible constraints placed upon it by existing construction.

As environmental requirements and available space for transmission systems restrict traditional techniques, and advancing renewable sources create further need for reliable transportation of bulk power, increasingly more innovative and cost-effective methods of bringing efficient electricity into the heart of Middle Eastern cities are being sought.

Key figures: 50 YEARS: Siemens GIL are designed to last 50 years without maintenance 3,700 MVA: Maximum transmission capacity per system 550Kv: Maximum voltage

One such technology is the development of Gas Insulated Lines (GIL) - a highly reliable, cost-efficient and safe alternative solution to traditional overhead power transmission lines and underground cables. Siemens has been a leader in the development of GIL technology for decades; it installed its first system at a German hydroplant in the 1970s and has since installed a tube length of more than 87,000 metres in almost 30 countries. The technology can be used in a similar way to traditional power cables but extends the application range to higher voltages and higher transmission power, with advantages in operational safety, maintenance, cost savings and reliability.

Born out of advancing Gas Insulated Switchgear (GIS) technology, GIL consist of a central aluminum conductor with a typical electrical cross section of up to 530 sq cm. The conductor rests on cast resin insulators, which centre it within the outer enclosure.

This enclosure is formed by an aluminum tube, which provides a solid mechanical and electrotechnical containment for the system. In order to meet up-to-date environmental and technical aspects, GIL are filled with an insulating gas mixture of mainly nitrogen and a smaller percentage of sulphur hexafluoride. To increase the lifespan, the ‘performance line’ product series has a longitudinal particle trap installed over the entire horizontal route section, and an automated orbital welding procedure, accompanied by tailored ultrasonic inspection techniques, ensures perfect gas tightness of the aluminum tubes.

“The outcome,” explained Wolfgang Braun, head of power transmission for Siemens Middle East, “is a virtually maintenance-free system capable of transmitting up to 3,700 MVA with up to 70 per cent lower losses than pyloned lines, while maintaining lower operating temperatures – even in overload mode – and demonstrating a stronger resistance to internal arcfaults and short circuits”

Transmission & Distribution

In addition to the operational advantages, the system’s adaptability is one of its key strengths, especially when it comes to accommodating existing infrastructure and space constraints.

“Their versatility is what makes GIL an excellent solution for confined spaces or challenging routings – GIL installations have been realised in every conceivable layout, with shafts mastering straight vertical distances of 200 m, overcoming steeply inclined slopes, passing around buildings both above and below ground, and following meandering routings without angle units,” said Braun. “The installation of GIL also makes use of sophisticated laying techniques, long proven from the pipeline construction industry, and with the addition of some product-specific modifications. The advantageous consequence of this is that project implementation time can also be kept to a minimum, lowering costs for our customers.”

A major focus during installation is providing gastight connections for the components. “In order to accomplish this, we employ a computer-controlled automatic welding process, verifying the quality of each seam to 100 per cent with ultrasonic tests. The result? No replenishment of insulation gas is needed during the entire service life of 50 years plus,” said Braun.

As he explained, operational safety is also a key factor when selecting GIL for power transmission.

“The Siemens GIL systems also bring benefits in operational safety. GIL systems are immune to hazards that are inherent to other power transmission systems, are safe to touch in operation and are fireproof and explosion-proof. The electrical insulation system is also not subject to ageing phenomena, which reduces the risk of internal failures to

Installation applications for GIL: Aboveground: GIL generally unaffected by extreme conditions Tunnel: Tunnel-based systems remain accessible for inspection, pose no fire risk and allow ventilation.

Vertical: GIL are able to run at any gradient; even vertically virtually zero,” explained Braun.

In a region rapidly adding power generation capacity to cope with swiftly rising demand, it is up to the transmission and distribution systems to ensure that this valuable resource is transmitted as reliably and cost-effectively as possible.

“Gas insulated lines will be a key player in the formation of demanding transmission projects in the future,” concluded Braun. “Whether for the transmission of gigawatts of power from large renewable sources, for reliable connection of crucial power stations to outgoing lines or for the transfer of bulk power underground right into tomorrow’s megacities, GIL technology will undoubtedly have a crucial role to play.” ■

The key to specifying the right genset size Choosing a genset with the right output capacity and characteristics is just as important as getting the best supplier and purchase terms. Being able to describe how load varies through the day and is likely to change over time is important too.

Expect to be questioned closely about the pattern of day-to-day operations

S

PECIFYING THE RIGHT size of engine generating set (or sets) in the first place is fundamental to longterm customer satisfaction. The calculations are complex, and the services of your local manufacturer’s representative should always be called upon before making a choice. For experienced works managers only the use of a dedicated sizing-programme (software) tool as available on the websites of several major suppliers may suffice. But this is a major long-term purchase and it needs to be done properly.

In some Gulf applications, the equipment will be ‘sized’ so that it can pick up all the required loads (motors, aircon system, welding equipment etc.) in a single step. In others it is a good idea to automatically turn on the loads which cause the maximum start-up surge first, then sequentially switch in the rest.

Remember that operating a genset under light load can cause internal damage to both the prime mover and the alternator, so always size the purchase to allow for output at well above one-third of rated load, as specified on the nameplate. Slow it down for short periods only.

Only an experienced supplier can sum up all the circumstances that will determine what type of equipment you need Precise information Another key consideration must always be whether the equipment is to be used for standby (emergency) power supply, continuous prime supply or utility paralleling. This will determine the level of overload capacity required and the nature of the ancillary equipment needed.

The first in-depth stage in choosing and sizing your set is always to accurately identify and then sum up all the types and sizes of loads that need to be served. This summation process requires precise information to be tabulated on the power factor of every single piece of load equipment. This goes right down to the capacity of the lighting circuit, the nature (size and timing/frequency) of peak loads such as large electric motors that power items like elevators and pumps and therefore cycle unpredictably on and off and the differences between start-up and running loads of every motor installed, with some allowance for future expansion.

Then it must be remembered that some specific items of the equipment you have installed may impose special demands on the internal power generation system, whether it is prime or standby. These include: delicate automatic UPS

systems that charge large DC storage battery banks and must be compatible with the pre-installed genset system; leadacid accumulator charging systems generally (including for cranking up the standby generator itself); highly sensitive medical imaging and control systems and all emergency equipment including building access controls and lighting.

All heavy-duty equipment that relies on the power system itself to absorb energy during regenerative braking, as in the operation of a large crane or mechanical hoist, must also be taken into account.

For further advice on key technical issues such as ‘dips’ in step voltage and frequency, single-/threephase selection and whether the loads your machinery and services impose are linear or not, your manufacturer’s agent should always be referred to. Only an experienced supplier can sum up all the circumstances that will determine what type of equipment you need.

In some Gulf applications the equipment will be ‘sized’ so that it can pick up all the required loads in a single step Expect to be questioned closely about the pattern of day-to-day operations because these will be key considerations if the generating set package is to perform properly.

Finally, always remember that your business will almost certainly be expanding, and the power you need, and its sequencing, will change over time. Your dealer should be able to advise you on how to cope with this.

In order to keep all the gensets on your premises running under full load it generally makes sense to install an expandable bank of matching sets within a plant room that leaves plenty of space for subsequent acquisitions.

These should match as closely as possible the output characteristics of the equipment being supplemented - a good reason for going to one of the world’s top manufacturers, or at least their local agent, in the first place. ■

SSOCIATED WITH MEE (Middle East Electricity) this year’s international Power + Water Middle East exhibition, and related Technical Seminar/Leaders’ Forum and social/networking events, is the Gulf’s exclusive early-season showcase of power- and water-related products and services from top suppliers all over the world.

Running from 8-10 October in Abu Dhabi’s splendid recently completed ADNEC Centre this fifth edition is once again being organised by Informa Exhibitions (www.powerandwaterme.com; pwme@informa.com or call +971 (0)4 336 5161 for details).

Technical Review is proud to have been selected as a partner with this ADWEA- and local Chamber of Commerce & Industryassociated event The background to this time-proven dual-sector show is once again the continuing predictably explosive growth of power and water demand in all countries in the GCC region.

Specifically: ■

UAE electricity output (from all sources) is predicted to grow by 40 per cent by 2020 ■ A massive increase in water storage is planned for nearby gasfuelled Qatar, designed to provide a whole week’s emergency storage ■ Development by FEWA of underground resources in the northern Al Surra area ■ Growth of power demand by 30,000 MW-plus in the neighbouring Saudi Arabia – again as soon as 2020 In response to these indicative developments the “Power” section of this year’s P+WME show will be covering generation,

This successful event is now in its fifth year. transmission, distribution, automation/controls, research/technology along with general energy conservation and efficiency issues.

‘Water’ exhibits will cover raw water supply and waste treatment, management and distribution issues, instrumentation/process control, R&D and conservation issues.

The overlaps between the two sections will, as in previous years, be many. More than 120 individual exhibitors from 25 other countries as well as the UAE booked booth space at the fourth P+WME event, seen by over 3,500 business visitors. The records show that the majority (40 per cent) came from the power generation and process control industries, but other key categories of suppliers last time were manufacturers of power transmission and automation equipment, desalination plant and

supplies, and power distribution products and services.

Innovative power A highlight this time around is a repeat of the successful Leaders’ Forum, being held this year on Monday 8 October. Individual 30minute sessions addressed by senior representatives of companies and institutions like will showcase the latest in innovative powerand water-related thinking to “develop sustainable business practices across the industry”, e.g. sustainable solutions to water management problems and the role of solar power in Abu Dhabi’s (already well planned) energy future.

A special ‘Smart Grids Master Class’ is being provided by TPS Management Consultants on the ninth. This will be addressed by senior technical representatives from Siemens, Frost & Sullivan and India’s Central Power Research Institute (this event has a dedicated website: www.smartgrid-me.com).

Finally a series of business-promoting Technical Seminars are being offered on each day that P+WME is open this year – an ideal opportunity to relax a little in a comfortable hour-long sit-down session, digest the facts and figures you have been presented with so far and learn something new about selected individual companies’ slants on a specific technical theme in the region at the same time.

FG Wilson ramps up growth FG WILSON HAS invested US$39.9mn to significantly expand its production capacity and further enhance facilities at their global engineering centre of excellence. The company has also launched a new range of generator sets designed to ensure reliable and robust power supply with significantly lower operating costs.

FG Wilson said that it made the investment to exploit further growth in emerging markets across Africa, the Middle East, China and South America. A total of US$33.5mn was invested in the engineering centre of excellence, which already contains a hemi anechoic chamber providing state of the art acoustic research and testing capabilities.

Tony McAllister, FG Wilson director and general manager said, “With a global network of 370 distribution partners in over 150 countries it is important that we are able to grow our business to meet continued customer demand. Our investment has enabled us to accelerate both our product development and production capacity. " Further investment saw the transformation of a 4,366 sqm assembly line into a continuously moving automated process,

involving innovative technology at a cost of US$6.45mn. The new assembly line has doubled the line’s production capacity with rigorous quality checks at every stage of the manufacturing process.

New generator range FG Wilson has developed the 5.5 – 22 kVA genset range using the latest technology to deliver an innovative solution that includes open set, polymer enclosed and metal The new 5.5 – 22 kVA genset range

enclosed generator sets.

The range of gensets have also been built for optimum performance and minimal maintenance time to significantly reduce customers’ operating expenditure costs.

Engineered to operate in the most remote sites and extreme environments, generator sets in the 5.5 – 22 KVA range have a 62/66litre fuel tank, depending on the model, providing eight hours running at full load in prime applications. The remote fuel transfer connections enable back up fuel supplies to be drawn from bulk fuel tanks negating the need for regular and often cumbersome onsite fuelling visits.

"We believe that the new range is particularly suited to the telecommunications industry where infrastructure communication networks operate in remote sites, hundreds of miles from civilisation,” Gareth Graham, FG Wilson product definition manager, commented.

“We understand that these operators demand uninterrupted connectivity and rely on a robust and secure power supply, which they can track remotely, in real time, and our latest range provides just that.”

Analysis

How to differentiate in equipment markets Core values at corporate level define and support Volvo CE’s efforts to achieve closer market engagement in Africa and the Middle East.

T

OMAS KUTA, PRESIDENT of EMEA sales at Volvo Construction Equipment (Volvo CE), spoke recently of the company's renewed focus on sales in European, Middle Eastern and African markets - and of its commitment to innovation in design, to make its equipment increasingly purposeful and cost-effective.

At the heart of Volvo CE's new wave commitment to innovation is the company's adherence to core values – an adherence to the aspiration of quality, safety and environmental care. Volvo CE regards these values as fundamental drivers for its operations and operational development, underpinning an open and future-oriented approach to business relationships, as well as product development.

Volvo equipment has been selling well in the Gulf

Making and delivering products that work well means a lot, but being a responsible corporate citizen requires more than that

Quality Making and delivering products that work well means a lot, but being a responsible corporate citizen requires more than that.

Volvo Construction Equipment’s approach to market involves creating a symbiotic relationship between quality, safety and environmental care - ensuring the quality of its products, the efficiency of its factories, and the standards it sets by its partners and services.

As Kuta spoke, it was clear that quality matters most; not only in its own right, but also in underpinning the promotion of safety and environmental issues.

Volvo CE's core values apply through the quality of equipment supplied to support construction projects in African markets. This new drive - evidenced in the development of the company's drivetrain, hydraulics and lifting systems, for example, and in its

introduction of a diesel particulate filter is also in keeping with the company's heritage of 180 years of operation.

Restructuring Kuta affirmed the continuing stress on a heritage of commitment to quality when he said, "We always have tried to stay ahead of the competition."

A principal reason for Volvo CE's recent restructuring of its sales and distribution networks is to engage better with its customers and potential buyers.

Proximity is a keyword at the company.

This is reflected already in a good sales momentum for this year, with good operating figures recorded so far.

Kuta firmly believes that continued success for Volvo CE rests also with superior engagement with markets. He said, "The differentiator will be distribution."

Looking at the supply chain, Kuta also highlighted attachments, and introduced a new attachments system in prospect from Volvo CE - borne of a SEK100mn (US$14.5mn) investment, and set to be fully realised, globally, by 2015.

Alongside telematics, customer support agreements and many other areas, Kuta said that this area would bring Volvo CE closer to markets and to customers, by responding better to demand, by delivering tailor-made solutions.

The Middle East, and in particular Saudi Arabia and the UAE, are the "most robust markets" in the world for Volvo Construction Equipment.

Both the UAE and Saudi Arabian markets are serviced by FAMCO, which last year acquired Al Rehab Machinery, exclusive distributor of Volvo construction equipment to the Kingdom. ■

Formwork

Doka inspires Dubai infrastructure resurgence Jumeirah Lake Towers is a collection of high-end residential and office buildings located opposite the Dubai Marina on the other side of the Sheikh Zayed Road. Due to economically challenging conditions, several projects in the area were put on hold, including road works.

This year, road works have recommenced and are now surging towards completion. With the launch of the new onsite assembly service, commissioned by contractors Ghulam Rasool & Company Pvt. Ltd., Doka is providing formwork project management and is now heavily involved in a revived project for the comprehensive improvement of parallel roads.

Engineered bridge formwork & shoring solution Doka Engineers decided on approximately 16,000 cu/m of Load-bearing Staxo 100 to form the full four spans of the bridge. In order to avoid traditional formwork solutions and adjustments onsite, prefabricated Large-area formwork Top 50 units have been supplied ready to install, allowing the contractor to focus on other competencies.

The Ready to Use preassembly team has fabricated around 1,200 sqm of Large-area Top 50 panels. Doka’s site supervision and labour team are erecting the panels safely onsite using spindles and a special suspended solution to speed up and simplify handling and repositioning of the formwork. For extra efficiency Doka is supplying 50 per cent of the total requirement of the wall shutters, which are being reused for the last two of the four spans. At the outset, Load-bearing Staxo 40 is utilised to form

the top and cantilever slabs.

The Bridge NW-01 comprises four posttensioned, dual-celled spans with an average support height of 6.50 m. Doka’s formwork supply covers the full scope of works onsite such as shoring, bottom slab, wing and internal walls, intermediate diaphragms, cantilever and top deck slabs.

Doka is bearing even more responsibility with its role at this jobsite to ensure the target schedules and milestones are met.

The Dubai branch is providing pioneering new services in the scope of work to coordinate onsite formwork erection and assembly, ready-to-use preassembly, and even managing the heavy equipment needed onsite to deploy and manoeuvre formwork.

Doka’s most proficient engineers and supervisors are onsite daily

Safe access and working areas with Doka’s Load-bearing Staxo 100 throughout the whole construction period

to ensure smooth operations and save the contractors from bearing any extra burden.

Faster repositioning Ghulam Rasool, with one of its first construction projects in the UAE market, was highly impressed by the advantages of Staxo 100 in bridge building compared to local systems. Additionally Doka’s preassembled Large-area Top 50 wall shutters with engineered and specially fabricated steel parts greatly reduced the quantity of fabricated timber elements required to form the bridge’s shape. Finally, Doka’s Dubaibased engineers provided a special suspended solution that made the repositioning process significantly faster than conventional de-shuttering sequences.

“Since this project was our first entry into the infrastructure market in UAE, we could not take any risks on satisfying the client,” Khalid Mahmood, project manager for Ghulam Rasool, said. “Formwork was a big factor and the combination of Doka’s proximity to the site, onsite assembly and ready-to-use services thus far have saved us a lot of resources and time.”

Formwork

Safe working conditions can also reduce costs PERI has dedicated itself to resolving safety issues within the construction sector and safety is at the heart of all of the company’s formwork and scaffolding systems.

The MAXIMO platform system

A

LL OF PERI systems and system components greatly contribute in helping successfully prevent accidents involving falls, and significantly increase working efficiency on the construction site.

Artur Schwoerer, the company’s founder, addresses it as the most important goal of PERI, to make building work easier, faster and safer.

Consequently, the "safety" aspect is included in every single idea for a new formwork and scaffolding system. This means, on the one hand, that PERI products and systems are safe to use. PERI has fulfilled this, for example, by developing systems with as few as possible, easy-to-handle individual components. As a result, the overall planning and logistics processes along with the use on the construction site is simplified.

The PERI product range naturally includes all required additional system components for guaranteeing safe working conditions: for example, access ladders and platforms are available for the wall formwork and column formwork systems as safe access and secure working areas are an essential prerequisite for fast working.

The global presence of PERI furthermore means that the safety regulations of numerous countries and continents are taken into consideration.

A further example for safety within the system is, for example, the reliable PERI UP T 72 facade scaffolding with the T-frame.

Due to the design, the scaffolder is already provided with guardrail protection when accessing the next scaffolding level – without any extra parts needed. Here, too, safety-compliant development was in the

foreground and any misapplication has virtually been eliminated.

Safety with wall formwork systems The MAXIMO platform system MXP for TRIO and MAXIMO panel formwork provides – thanks to its unique design – maximum levels of safety for all forming operations. It provides perfectly secure, all-sided access, even for stopend formwork. With platforms designed to match the panel widths of the MAXIMO and TRIO systems, the high degree of flexibility of the panel formwork is fully retained.

The platforms are available in 240, 120, 90 and 72 cm widths. Other system components, such as the end platform, the front guardrails of various widths and the

erection device, round off the programme and ensure efficient and safe formworking operations.

Concreting platforms and access ladders are available for all PERI column formwork systems. They are delivered ready-to-use to the construction site. Being made of aluminium, they can easily be mounted to the horizontal element by hand. For the different systems and cross-sections, the same components are used. This simplifies logistical operations and reduces the space required on site and at the stockyard.

The PERI access ladders, complete with ladder cages, are used as access points for reaching the concreting platforms and also as working areas for closing and releasing the column formwork halves. ■

Optimism returns to Abu Dhabi Abu Dhabi’s ADNEC centre will again be the venue for INTERMAT Middle East 2012 this month. A wide range of regionallyappropriate construction equipment and services will be on show.

U

NDER THE PATRONAGE of the Public Works Minister, the second edition of INTERMAT Middle East will be open for business visitors in Abu Dhabi from 8-10 October.

This almost-new exhibition of building, construction and earthmoving equipment is an innovative idea, effectively an inwardstransplant of the huge and highly successful three-yearly INTERMAT exhibition held in the French capital since 1988. This is put on by local exhibition specialists Comexposium with the technical assistance of the French

CISMA and SEIMAT equipment trade associations and the Paris Chamber of Commerce.

The next (10th) edition of this show, organised in a regular cycle with competing and complementary world-scale events in Germany and the US, will take place in 2015.

At this year’s event in April a special Middle East Day was held in Paris. Interest in business prospects in this area was reported to be very strong as a result, with major local sales for infrastructure-related projects reported by heavy equipment suppliers such as Bobcat and Doosan.

INTERMAT Middle East is effectively a regional spin-off, concentrating on much the same business and machinery sectors as the parent organisation in Europe but relating these specifically to Middle Eastern and North African issues - and the huge scale of dealing with them here. The regional edition of the show already has a strong following in South Asia too.

These core INTERMAT sectors are: ■ Earthworks ■ Components, equipment and accessories ■ Lifting and handling equipment

■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■

Concrete, scaffolding and formwork Demolition equipment Drilling, boring and tunnelling Mining and quarrying Road building including material recycling On- and off-road vehicles for constructionrelated use ■ General plant engineering and services INTERMAT Middle East 2012 is again being staged by Clarion Events Middle East in association with Comexposium*. This year more than 7,000 visitors are confidently expected to attend what is already an established event, to see the products and services of an estimated 250-plus exhibitors, some of them showing machinery too large to display within the ADNEC centre’s large halls.

These will include top names in the global equipment industry such as Atlas Copco, Bobcat, Doosan, Liebherr, Liugong, Manitowoc, Sennebogen, Terex Finlay, ThyssenKrupp, as well as their regional distributors such as the Kanoo Group.

One of these exhibitors, top European crane and materials-handling equipment builder Sennebogen, supplied some pertinent comments from General Manager Andreas Geier in advance of the opening of this month’s show; this company put on a large display of its heavy plant and equipment earlier in the year in Paris too.

“For sure there will be some boom

Inspection and discussion of new technologies was the clear stated interest of visitors to the initial launch event www.intermat-middleeast.com

markets, like Qatar, Iraq and Egypt”, he said, citing the different factors such as Doha’s 2022 construction-related preparations.

“But even in other markets like Oman, the UAE, Kuwait and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia we see good possibilities for the next few years.

“Abu Dhabi is the right location for such an exhibition, and we hope that it will be an event which will be fully accepted by the customers from the Middle East…” The UAE as a whole is already France’s largest single

market within the GCC region.

Inspection and discussion of new technologies – all related to construction and materials winning – was the clear stated interest of visitors to the initial launch event.

A special Construction & Infrastructure Summit along with a series of Contractors’ Workshops is promised this year, but the details of these were not available at press date; see the website for up-to-date information.

A representative from Clarion says in

conclusion, “The UAE has established its presence as the centre for trade and development in the region … INTERMAT Middle East 2012 aims to support the region’s significant investments over the coming years in the construction and infrastructure sectors.” ■

Mobile equipment integration A UNIQUE COOPERATION between Atlas Copco Underground Rock Excavation and ABB has led to a significant advance in underground mobile fleet integration.

It is widely recognised in the underground mining industry that one of the key requirements for optimizing operations lies in being able to integrate and monitor all equipment and processes from a central point. The possibility to do this is now closer to reality thanks to a groundbreaking development project between Atlas Copco, a global supplier of underground mobile mining equipment and ABB, a world leader in power, automation and process engineering.

The two companies have come up with the world’s first system designed to give underground mining companies a complete overview of their operations, thereby realising the vision of the fully integrated underground hard rock mine.

The new technology is based on integrating data from Atlas Copco’s advanced underground mobile mining equipment in real time (via a WiFi network) with ABB’s Process Control System 800xA. This capability gives personnel in a control room environment a complete overview of all activities, allowing them to make informed decisions regarding the production flow.

Location tracking, equipment performance, production status and environmental impact are just a few of the outcomes the joint project was able to demonstrate.

Mattias Pettersson, product manager of data management and communication at Atlas Copco, said: “This is a very exciting development that brings the future of underground mining right into the present. By installing this system, underground mines will be able to run their operation and meet their targets more effectively than ever before.”

Bobcat loaders set new performance levels THE NEW BOBCAT S850 skid-steer loader and T870 compact tracked loader are the most powerful loaders offering the highest lift height ever manufactured by the company. Bigger and longer than the previous large frame models (S300/S330 and T300/T320), these new top-of-the-

range loaders combine high power and performance with industry-leading lifting heights to set new performance standards in compact loaders. The latest additions to the New Generation range of Bobcat loaders, the S850 and T870 also offer significantly improved visibility and best-in-class

comfort, greater pushing power, more powerful hydraulics, increased fuel capacity, higher rated operating capacities, higher horsepower and more uptime protection.

The S850 and T870 loaders are intended to run the most powerful attachments from Bobcat.

Region shows its green credentials Green building practices are widely incorporated in the UAE.

Encouraged by the second Rio Summit, sustainable techniques have become the construction norm. And nowhere is more imagination being shown than in the fastgrowing cities of the Red Sea and Gulf.

A

DVOCATES OF ‘GREEN Building’, as championed here by the GB Councils in Doha and Dubai (1), can usefully visit the tiny port of Lamu, not far away on Kenya’s Indian Ocean coast, to see effective centuries-old local practice at its best.

There natural African building materials and construction techniques imported over centuries from Oman are combined to produce one of the most sustainable and attractive settlements on earth. Regrettably a new oil pipeline threatens this World Heritage Site.

Today’s revived sustainable-building movement relies on construction principles that ensure resource efficiency throughout the lifetime of the structure – including the allimportant siting of the building that prevents sprawl in the first place. In Lamu’s case it’s the remote just-offshore location that has always ensured this.

protected. And environmental degradation is kept to an absolute minimum, with both maximum aesthetic appeal and the Gulf cities’ enviable ‘wow’ factor that is the result of employing the world’s very best architects.

Today’s wide range of green building practices were revived in the 1970s when energy costs really started to rise dramatically. It was soon realised that useful ‘synergies’ – value-enhancing combinations of positive factors - were all important in reducing the impact of a building on the environment over its full life span by employing renewability principles wherever possible.

Efficient use Sound original design, precise siting, efficient use of utility services, appropriate materials, optimisation of all operations including the safety of constructors, ongoing maintenance and combined reduction and efficient handling of all wastes at all stages are part of the initial, usually local authorityapproved, concept.

LCA or ‘life cycle assessment’ of all these, codified around the world into individual national rating systems such as North America’s LEED (2) which is widely respected here in the Gulf, and Germany’s DGNB, is an important criterion. For example it underlies the long-term ‘Pearl’ Community, Building and Villa rating system now used by Estidama in Abu Dhabi.

Economically used Despite their heritage, today’s green building practices rely heavily on efficient contemporary materials, including lowcost timber composites and insulation-promoting permeable concrete, to ensure efficiency, utility, durability and comfort in the long term.

All resources are economically used in the design and construction process, and that includes transport for delivery.

In all ways the well-being of occupants and neighbours is

Construction

Fast-growing Efficient use of resources such as the building materials employed, and the water and energy consumed in both construction and subsequent operation, are self-evident virtues which are widely pursued by all those who wish to avoid the shanty-town sprawl of so many of the world’s other fast-growing countries; those in tropical Africa and South America being notorious as the coming, second, Rio Summit will no doubt demonstrate.

But what about the operational phase of a building’s life, making the environment it presents to both occupants, nearby residents and passers-by achieve the optimum level possible, one which can enhance the ‘good to be here’ impact experience?

An efficiently in-use building can only remain so if it is capable of easily being operated responsibly and maintained in top condition, year after year.

Effective and efficient operation and maintenance can and should be designed-in in the first place if Green Building principles are being followed, even if it is just in simple matters such as ensuring that all light fittings can readily be changed without risk to either occupants or maintenance personnel, and thorough cleaning can be carried out.

Thriving Likewise reduction of all waste products generated, and installing efficiently hygienic methods of handling and hopefully recycling them, is vital during the construction phase of the building. But it is even more important

Effective and efficient operation and maintenance can and should be designed in from the beginning

An efficiently in-use building can only remain so if it is capable of easily being operated responsibly and maintained in top condition, year after year throughout the operational lifespan. And through the inevitable demolition process, too. This means that appropriate but minimal use of rebars (reinforcing steel) – which often facilitates concrete decay anyway and is widely seen in bridge structures all over the world – is designed in from the outset. The builders of Lamu and the much earlier teams who constructed the pyramids, another really highgrade UN-protected site, used natural materials. If this is done the mass material becomes much easier to recycle with a simple crusher at the end of the day.

That can mean a residual positive return on existing materials to the proprietor even when the site is finally redeveloped, something which often happens within just a few decades in today’s market.

And today’s thriving Gulf cities could gain long-term UNESCO protection. ■

BRIEFLY ■ IRAQ’S STATE COMPANY for the Automotive Industry (SCAI) recently purchased 250 Mercedes-Benz trucks to assist in reconstruction efforts in the country. “We’re very pleased to help with the reconstruction of Iraq by supplying 250 MercedesBenz Actros trucks to SCAI,” said Hubertus Troska, head of Mercedes-Benz Trucks. “Our vehicles are perfect for use in rough terrain, where they clearly demonstrate their quality and reliability.” This was the first time that Mercedes-Benz Trucks has supplied vehicles to SCAI. The contract between Daimler and SCAI, which covers the delivery of Mercedes-Benz trucks to Iraq, represented a clear commitment to the country’s reconstruction efforts when it was signed in Baghdad in February 2010. The delivery of the 250 Actros trucks marks a further important step toward this goal. The trucks were manufactured at the MercedesBenz plant in Wörth and delivered to Iraq as complete vehicles.

US sales surge

Another concrete expo coming

THE USA’S ASSOCIATION of Equipment Manufacturers says that national exports of contractors’ plant increased by an astonishing 43 per cent by value in 2011 – to US$23.5bn. “This follows growth of 28 per cent in 2010 after a 2009 decline of 38 per cent in the depths of the recession.”

AEM vice president, Al Cervero, pointed out by way of a contrast that the huge US construction industry is still recovering - which is more than can be said for the sector in some other countries, European in particular.

Export sales to Asia grew 44 per cent to total US$3.1bn for 2011, and Africa’s purchases of US construction machinery increased 41 per cent to total US$1.3 bn last year.

THE NEXT INTERNATIONAL World of Concrete exhibition will be held in Las Vegas from 4-8 February 2013. Combined with the World of Masonry and Technology for Construction events, this annual exhibition and conference is the largest global gathering of commercial concrete specialists, suppliers and equipment manufacturers. In 2013 it will once again be providing an unrivalled series of training seminars co-ordinated by Conference Manager Bonnie King (tel +1 972 536 6416).

This year’s seminars included Repair, Business & Project Management, Risk Management and Finance; new to the programme was a special training session on Placement & Consolidation.

Full details of www.worldofconcrete.com the industry’s foremost international networking event where trend-setting Gulf developments in issues, such as ultra-high rise concrete pumping, are always widely discussed can be found at www.worldofconcrete.com or by calling the WOC Exhibition Director on 972 536 6371.

Hire or acquire?

FAST CHANGING CONDITIONS in the plant hire business were discussed at the European Rental Association’s convention held in Oslo recently (www.erarental.org or +32 2761 1604).

The trade association’s Equipment Technology Committee produces an invaluable series of position papers and guidance documents, amongst which we recently came across a very useful summary, produced earlier this year and now viewable on the website, on ‘Total cost of ownership of construction

equipment’ – most of the principles of which of course apply wherever the rental business is alive and well.

This particular document covers the three main phases of an item’s lifecycle – acquisition, operation and maintenance, and ultimate selling-on or other disposal.

First and second ‘priority’ issues are neatly summarised on a single page of guidance for analysing these three stages, under the headings of Direct product costs, Indirect process costs,

Indirect opportunity costs, Related activities and what it calls Cost drivers.

In order these include equipment and spare parts costs, purchasing and handling costs, costs of financing and rental, administration throughout the lifespan of the machine, and more than 20 individual ‘drivers’ for all these. It all makes a useful cellphone-handy summary, easy to carry and check over before making the decision about whether to buy or hire a specific item of contractors’ plant.

BRIEFLY ■ SPECIALIST BUSINESS ANALYSTS Freedonia state in a new study that total world demand for the construction aggregates used in all forms of concrete will rise from 37.4 bn tons in 2010 to 48.3 bn tons by 2015, a mean annual growth rate of 5.2 per cent. This will be led by growth of 5.7 points in the AsiaPacific region, which accounts for just over two-thirds of the global market anyway. In order of volumes building sand, crushed stone and gravel will make up this buoyant and generally very profitable trade, and the demand for recycled materials is expected to grow even faster than most due to increasingly restrictive regulations about extraction around the world. Quality considerations mean that, as in the Gulf, suppliers of fully certified materials will have a clear trading advantage. China and India will be the principal drivers in most of these sectors, the first of these on its own accounting for a full onehalf of all the increase in demand over the next few years. The Middle East is expected to play a major role in the growth of demand, too.

■ VENTYX, AN ABB company, has signed a US$2.8mn deal with Ma’aden Gold and Base Metals Company , a wholly owned subsidiary of Ma’aden, the largest mining company in Saudi Arabia. Ventyx will supply its market-leading miningoperations software solutions to enhance planning and performance in Ma’aden’s gold operations. A diversified mining company, Ma’aden will implement Ventyx Intelligent Mining Solutions across the four existing mines of its Ma’aden Gold and Base Metals subsidiary.

China sees niche in Saudi market THE LATEST CHINESE revenue avenue is being exploited in Saudi Arabia where the kingdom plans to begin an estimated US$100 bn worth of infrastructure projects by 2016, according to various media sources in China.

The China Daily reported that China will be the likely source for much of the construction material required by Saudi developers.

Saudi economist Jamal Banoon told Al Arabiya.net that less expensive materials from China would greatly boost the construction boom in Jeddah.

"China's building material companies in the Saudi market will help those with low incomes to build their houses on less expensive budgets," Banoon said. "They would also add to the total market value of real estate in the Gulf region if companies started to rely on Chinese building material for future projects."

Banoon said China's business and government officials are expected to promote the country's building materials and other construction-related goods in Riyadh this December, at the Third China Commodities Expo-Saudi Arabia.

Concrete Technology

T

HE GULF’S HIGH rises already lead the world in terms of concrete “firsts” – volume disposed in a single day at Abu Dhabi’s Landmark Tower; height pumped to in Dubai’s Burj Khalifa – and also in more mundane achievements, such as mix-water savings, prestressing developments and re-use of recycled pavement and other materials.

But for the real breakthroughs in mix design and batching procedures, manufacture and use of the world’s number-one construction material we still have to look overseas to developments recorded at popular annual events like World of Concrete (4-8 February 2013 in Las Vegas, see below). Above all these are learning opportunities for what can be achieved with this economical and versatile material.

The huge World of Concrete event in Las Vegas is an industry favourite

Key developments give Gulf an advantage No other product comes near to challenging concrete as the world’s favourite construction material. And it is to the Gulf architects come to see the latest in applications.

These include developments in cement accelerators and curing-retardants, geopolymers, screed levelling, formwork and batching plant design, waterproofing and other sealants and reinforcement, chemical admixtures including permanent colorants, and moisture/mix measurement and control. Oil and gas applications is another area of specialisation.

Surplus A third key issue for current research is the repair of various types of damage weather and trauma damage, both cosmetic and structural. And another is the use of concrete in advanced fire-control design.

In essence the cement industry on which all concrete designers, pourers and constructors depend has not changed much in a couple of millennia. It’s just the source materials and technologies, such as industrial by-products and the means of heating the kiln and powering the milling units, that have moved on; there is

also the inclusion of really effective steel rebar reinforcement. Global cement production today - many plants are mothballed and there’s still a big surplus due to the slowdown in economic growth that’s been with us since 2008 - is all about production efficiency and energy economics, which gives the gas fuelled grinders of North Africa and the Gulf a big advantage.

It helps that the greater part of the non-Far Eastern world’s demand is being generated right here, as cement is a very costly material to shift, whether in bulk or bags.

Shorter 90-minute seminars offered this year included two sessions on finance and general business issues

It’s that reinforcement that has been the really key development, as concrete is a very strong material when fully cured and in compression, but poor on its own under tension.

Additives Incorporation of high quality steel bars as manufactured in Saudi Arabia - and now exported from there far outside the region - solves that one.

And the huge range of state-of-the-art additives, many of them now manufactured and exported from here too - deals with most of the other problems associated with this most versatile of materials.

These include admixture chemicals which aid setting under water, modify permeability and thermal insulation properties, allow precise tailoring of flow qualities and slump resistance, facilitate bonding to itself and to other materials, and allow the incorporation of useful insulating (and cost-saving) voids.

The best place to see these many possibilities in concrete form, as it were, is at any of the large local building trade exhibitions such as The Big 5 (Dubai, 5-8 November) and Saudi Build (Riyadh, 11-14 November), and most of all in Las Vegas itself (where of course the three-yearly

Concrete Technology The World of Concrete event offers many in-depth training opportunities

Cement is a very costly material to shift, whether in bulk or bags Conexpo-Con/Agg takes place (next edition 4-8 March 2014).

Apart from its obvious specialisation, World of Concrete is extra special because of the many in-depth training opportunities it always offers.

Seminars This year, for example, the three-hour linked-seminar sessions it provided

included events covering - amongst others - concrete production, repair, decorative application, uses in floors and slabs, applications in association with masonry, concrete in the home, and combined cement/concrete/masonry business/project management.

Shorter 90-minute seminars offered this year included two sessions on finance and general business issues, a whole series on five different aspects of green building, general safety and risk management, latest trends in technical applications (including ‘Meeting Third-World Mix Challenges’) and a miscellany called ‘Concrete 101’. This covered such issues as reading a soils report and producing

top-quality pavements.

It should be emphasised that these are mostly linked ‘tracks’ rather than individual events – so Las Vegas this year was a place to pick up a huge range of hints and tips about how to make a success of your concrete business overall, whatever its specialisation.

Many made up formal certification requirements such as ACI Flatwork Finishing, ACPA Pump Operating and ICRI Slab Moisture Testing. ■

For details of next year’s training programme visit www.worldofconcrete.com or call the Conference Manager on +1 972 536 6371 (also January 2014).

Promoting development and learning ORGANISERS OF THE annual World of Concrete show in Las Vegas have launched their promotion campaign for next year’s event, highlighting the recent advances in the industry and emphasising the key educative role of the show.

There have been many developments regarding concrete in recent years, including accelerators and curing-retardants, geopolymers, screed levelling, formwork and batching plant design, sealants and reinforcement, chemical admixtures and moisture/mix measurement and control. Oil and gas applications are also another area of specialisation. A key focus for current research is the repair of various types of weather damage and trauma damage, both cosmetic and structural along with the use of concrete in advanced fire-control design.

The source materials and technologies used for concrete are constantly evolving.

Global cement production today focuses on production efficiency and energy economics, which gives the gas-fuelled grinders of North Africa and the Gulf a big advantage. The greater part of the non-Far Eastern world’s demand is being

generated in this region, due to large transportation costs.

Reinforcement has been a key development in the industry. Concrete is an extremely strong material when fully cured and in compression, but poor on its own under tension. A solution for this is the incorporation of high-quality steel bars, manufactured in Saudi Arabia and now exported far outside the region. Moreover, the Kingdom produces a huge range of state-of-the-art additives which deal with

most of the other problems associated with this versatile material. These include admixture chemicals which aid setting under water, modify permeability and thermal insulation properties, allow precise tailoring of flow qualities and slump resistance, facilitate bonding to itself and to other materials, and allow the incorporation of useful insulating (and cost-saving) voids.

However, World of Concrete is important because of the many in-depth training opportunities it offers, organisers say.

Project Backgrounds Jabal Omar Development Company (JODC) plans to develop phase 1 of Jabal Omar Development, located in Makkah around the Grand Mosque, adjacent to Umm Al Qura Road to the north, Dahlat Al Rushd to the south, Ibrahim Al Khalil Road to the east and Hafayer and Tandabawi to the west. The project will include 9 towers, 9 hotels and 89 residential apartments.

Project Status Aug 2012

Construction on the central plant is set to begin in September 2012 under a contract from a subsidiary of Saudi Tabreed District Cooling Company.

The first phase is slated for completion in December 2013

Aug 2012

The contract is part of the first phase of the Makkah based project, which includes construction of a chilled water production plant.

Aug 2012

Canada's SNC Lavalin has won a $92 million contract to build a district cooling system at the Jabal Omar Development's real estate scheme.

Mar 2012

The client has revealed that construction work is still ongoing.

Project Scope Jabal Omar Development Company plans to build a real estate development in front of the Grand Mosque in Makkah. There will be fifteen towers that will range between 22 and 26 floors. Jabal Omar Development Company's masterplan covers one million square metres and includes the construction of six five-star hotels. Once the construction of the hotels are accomplished, they will be able to accommodate approximately up to 40,000 residents.

The project, which will cost approximately $2.7 billion, will be a part of major developments that is transforming the city. The joint venture of Saudi Binladin Group and Saudi Oger is also involved in the development of the real estate project. Jadwa Investment, which was established two years ago and has a capital of $1.6 billion, revealed their plans to finance large scale projects in the Kingdom and provide companies with financial consultancy services. They also disclosed that their first project is with Saudi Aramco.

The Jabal Omar Development Company (JODC) is a real estate investment, development and property manager of Jabal Omar, a pilgrimage-related

residential and commercial property near the Grand Mosque of Mecca. The land and infrastructure part of the project, which covers an area of 230,000 square metres (approximately 2.5 million square feet), is expected to cost $3.2 billion. It is expected to be completed within 30 months, which will be approximately in 2010.

The project also includes five-star hotels with 935 rooms, six three star hotels consisting of 1,255 rooms, over an area of 244,800 square metres, 4,360 commercial and retail centers, 4,500 shops and 3,000 showrooms, 520 restaurants, a central transport station and parking facility for 12,000 vehicles and covered air conditioned plazas and open courtyard prayer facilities for 202,000 worshipers. It also includes the construction of 20 storey residential buildings to accommodate 100,000 people.

Close industry sources within the company reveal that the real estate development plan includes a number of residential towers and 40 hotels. The $3.2 billion project is located in a mountainous area close to the Grand Mosque. The towers will accommodate 34,500 pilgrims, with an area covering 230,000

square meters. It will create a model residential and commercial center with new roads, pathways, tunnels, electric stairs, and other facilities.

Furthermore, the real estate development project will create prayer areas for 78,000 worshipers and will be linked to the Grand Mosqueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sound system. These prayer areas could be considered an indirect expansion of the mosque. Industry sources close to the project has also revealed that the client has taken into consideration the environment and the topography of the area.

The ground breaking development for the second largest project after the Haram expansion was started two years ago (in 2007). Concrete mix started flowing to the foundations of four towers overlooking the Ibrahim Street and two towers on the Umm Al Qura road today. It was a race against time to sign many agreements with various companies for utilities such as telephone, water and sewage system to simultaneously serve 45,000 pilgrims.

Jabal Omar Development Company also held several discussions with top executives of the Hilton hotel for

managing several residential and hotel towers in the real estate project. The joint venture client is also studying tenders from various top class hotel companies such as Sheraton and MovenPick to manage some of the residential and hotel towers being built as part of the real estate development project.

Industry sources closely relate to the project also reveals that speed is a vital factor for them, as more than 200 hotels have been demolished in order to implement the Jabal Omar Development project.

Moreover, the project would also build a mosque to accommodate 10,000 worshippers and also a conference hall overlooking the Grand Mosque with a seating capacity for 2,000 people.

The mixed use project involves construction of 39 residential and hotel towers with heights ranging from 20 to 48 storeys. It will have a total built up area of 1.2 million square metres and once completed, it can accommodate 45,000 residents and 150,000 worshipers during peak times.

The Jabal Omar Real Estate Development project also

includes 37 towers with a total built up area of 2 million square metres. The scheme will be situated on a total area covering 230,000 square metres. The project will include residential, retail and religious buildings. The total cost of the project could be around $5.06 billion. Construction companies of the local Saudi Oger and Saudi Binladin Group, which have been awarded the main construction contract in September 2008, have revealed that the mixed use development project of 15 residential towers and 40 hotels in Makkah will take approximately three years for completion.

Project Finance Jabal Omar Development Company plans to build a real estate development in front of the Grand Mosque in Makkah. The project, which will cost approximately $2.7 billion, will be a part of major developments that is transforming the city. The joint venture of Saudi Binladin Group and Saudi Oger is also involved in the development of the real estate project.

Jadwa Investment, which was established two years ago and has a capital of $1.6 billion, revealed their plans to finance large scale projects in the Kingdom and provide companies with financial consultancy services. They also disclosed that their first project iss with Saudi Aramco.

The Jabal Omar Development Company (JODC) was established in October 2006 by the Makkah Construction and Development Company with a capital of $1.33 billion and was listed on the Saudi Stock Exchange (Tadawul) in December 2007.

JODC is a real estate investment, development and property manager of Jabal Omar, a pilgrimage-related residential and commercial property near the Grand Mosque of Mecca. The Riyadh based company has 150 professionals and four branches. It is also a joint venture of Saudi Binladin Group, and Saudi Oger.

Industry sources within Premco Ready-Mix have revealed that the company recently purchased new and advanced equipment worth $76 million from Zahid Tractor, E A Juffali and Brothers Company, Bekheet for Heavy Machineries and Alesayi Group, in order to accommodate for their new project requirements. The new equipment included a modern concrete treatment plant, mobile concrete mixers, crushers, concrete pumps, trucks and transport vehicles. Furthermore, Premco Ready-Mix also employs about 500 highly trained workers and technicians to execute its various projects.

As of early September 2010, as Jabal Omar Development Companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plans of placing large sources of funds did not materialize, they started focusing on procuring a $360 million bridge loan to cover the early stage development of its real estate project at Makkah. The bridge loan will already be an extension and increase in size of an existing $93.3 million provided by the local Al Rajhi Bank.

It will be provided by the following local banks: -- Al Rajhi Bank -- National Commercial Bank -- Bank Al Jazira -- Saudi Hollandi Bank -- Sabb Bank Jabal Omar Development Company had hoped to complete around $800 million of bank financing in the first half of 2010, followed by a $533 million rights issue in the third quarter of 2010. However, as it is not possible now, they have opted for the bridge loan, which is expected to be in place by the end of September 2010, with two larger fundraisings also due to be concluded before the end of 2010.

In order to place funds for the Makkah real estate project rapidly, the bridge loan will now be done first and replaced by a $1.33 billion syndicated loan before the end of the year. The rights issue will then take place in November 2010.

Although Jabal Omar Development Company had hoped to be able to raise the majority of its funding requirements at around the same time, they have now realized that it is not possible. Therefore, as an alternative option, they are now looking at approaching the financing markets in several phases. The syndication and rights issue could be followed by the Islamic bond (known as sukuk) issue and a further syndication in 2011.

It is believed that the total cost of the project could be around $5.06 billion.

When this loan is replaced by the larger facility, the banking group will be expanded to include several more Saudi banks with the tenor of the deal expected to be around seven years.

Industry sources close to the project have also revealed that the bridge loan is expected to be in place by the end of September 2010, with two larger fundraisings due to be concluded before the end of 2010.
