Planning proactively for the future

AST MONTH’S comment highlighted the importance of leveraging existing resources and expertise wherever possible, rather than seeking to ‘reinvent the wheel’. Since then, the IMESA Exco and Council have been involved in an intensive strategic planning exercise. Consequently, I would like to share the major highlights with all IMESA members. A major outcome of the strategic planning session was the articulation of several strategic priorities, clustered into four areas, i.e.: • operations/human resources • technical information • communications • president’s projects. The strategies are aligned with the two major governmental priorities of poverty alleviation and job creation, and focus specifically on improving skills development and technical support in the following areas: • succession planning • infrastructure (ownership of infrastructure data) • 3S Media/IMIESA • IMESA website • strategic alliances (specific projects). In addition, IMESA has developed a relationship with a number of local and national government organisations with the objectives of: • identifying currently available skills • implementing skills development training where the need exists • encouraging larger municipalities to assist the smaller ones. We believe in the value of taking a proactive rather than a reactive stance. For this reason, an invitation has been extended to every Exco and Council member to be involved in one or more of these strategic IMESA projects. I would like to take this opportunity of extending the invitation to our broader membership, inviting b your comments, yo

EDITOR'S COMMENT
Mixed signals…
E
VERY YEAR, WE WAIT with baited breath to hear how and where government intends to spend the national budget (the ‘how’ is still missing from the R846 billion from 2009). National Treasury director-general, Lesetja Kganyago, reported in this year’s Budget Review that in excess of R1 trillion is to be spent on public sector infrastructure over the next four years. Public sector spending on infrastructure has risen from 4.6% of GDP in 2006/07 to 9.8% of GDP in 2010/11. It is expected to average 8.4 % of GDP over the next three years, ultimately totalling R810 billion. Kganyago also acknowledged that expenditure on infrastructure is currently not ideal. Testament to this is that during the 2009/10 term, government failed to spend in the region of R13 billion of the budget for capital expenditure. Nowhere was this more apparent than at a municipal level where the demand for maintenance of existing assets meets the demand for new infrastructure. Following his budget speech, the minister of finance, Pravin Gordhan, stated that while infrastructure spending in the lead-up to last year’s World Cup Soccer Tournament had helped to lessen the impact of the recession, there has been deterioration in government construction spending in the past year. He went on to say that the challenge of intensifying infrastructure spending would require attention to planning, budgeting and contract management in departments and municipalities. While it is comforting to read figures such as R1 trillion and R810 billion when planning business strategies, a closer look at the bigger picture shows that Stats SA revealed that the construction sector has contributed 0.0 of a percentage point for the last five consecutive quarters. These statistics were released a day before Gordhan’s budget speech. Economic analysts believe the apparent weakness in the construction sector is a significant factor holding back the economic growth of the country. The rapid but steady decline of the construction industry has been steered by two factors.
Firstly, construction within the residential market is barely existent as consumers are still reeling from the knock-out punch delivered to many by the merging of their accumulated debt and the credit crunch. Secondly, since the World Cup, government has not awarded many infrastructure tenders, while work on significant projects, which were halted for the World
Bank of Southern Africa, the South African Institute of Chartered Accountants and the auditor-general. This edition of IMIESA is focused on water to coincide with Water Week and World Water Day, the latter which will be held on 22 March. One of the projects we feature will be of enormous interest to readers involved in the water sector. The Omdurman
Public sector spending on infrastructure has risen from 4.6% of GDP in 2006/07 to 9.8% of GDP in 2010/11 Cup, has also not resumed (the R846 billion mentioned earlier). When digesting all of this, is it possible that the period leading up to 2012/13 will be one of growth? Is right now the cusp between despair and delight? Only time will tell. The Municipal Systems Amendment Bill was tabled in the National Assembly last year. A parliamentary portfolio committee on cooperative governance and traditional affairs has been conducting public hearings on the bill. The South African Local Government Association (SALGA) has stated that although the organisation was consulted during the drafting of the bill, several fundamental concerns have yet to be addressed. SALGA is of the view that: • proposals in the bill aimed at limiting political interference in municipal administration, as well as addressing its professionalisation, compromise the institutional integrity of local government as enshrined in the Constitution • if promulgated in its present form, the bill would significantly increase the minister’s powers in respect of staff establishment and human resource systems, at the expense of local government as provided for in the Constitution • undermining the status of municipalities as employers would limit their ability to negotiate collective bargaining agreements. Comments on the bill were also received from the Independent Trade Municipal and Allied Trade Union, AfriForum, the Development
Water Supply Scheme will ultimately provide clean water for 1.5 million people in Sudan. The project is being undertaken by Biwater International and will supply clean, safe, potable drinking water from the Nile at an estimated project cost of R694.35 million.

COVER STORY
MCC leads with machine MCC’s plant hire subsidiary continues on its expansion path, updating its earthmoving fleet to meet the equipment needs of the Southern African construction industry for both private and public sector clients.
C
URRENT PLANT HIRE contracts in the public sector include the supply of a range of machines for Transnet Capital Projects’s MultiProduct Pipeline, under construction between Johannesburg and Durban at present, as well as units supplied to Eskom subsidiary Roshcon for deployment on greenfields power station projects that include Medupi and Kusile. Today the mixed earthmoving fleet stands at over 1 500 units – ranging from compaction rollers, excavators and dozers to articulated and off-highway trucks – supplied either as rental units on earthmoving and civil projects or for operational deployment within MCC Group subsidiary MCC Contracts, an opencast mining contractor. As Erich Clarke, MCC Group of Companies’ chief executive officer, explains,

"This is an integrated business model that provides the flexibility needed to respond to new business opportunities. “The group has an aggressive equipment modernisation programme in place to drive future expansion, ensuring that MCC Plant Hire remains at the forefront of the industry,” he continues. Dovetailing with this initiative is MCC’s Operator Training Academy, which guarantees that all of MCC’s 1 200-plus operators are
industry certified and machine qualified. Units within MCC Plant Hire are maintained and supported via the company’s national branch network, with around 60% of the fleet comprising Cat machines, supplied by Southern African Cat dealer Barloworld Equipment. “Our primary business focus is in South Africa, with Southern African countries such as Namibia and Mozambique providing growth opportunities,” says Clarke. 150-strong grader fleet Recent additions to the plant hire fleet include the delivery in February 2011 of 10 new-generation Cat 140K motor graders. This brings the total number of graders within MCC’s fleet to 150, making it one of

upgrade programme South Africa’s largest plant hire operations in this machine class. These new 140Ks join a predominately Cat grader fleet, 133 of which comprise Cat 140 construction graders (mostly H-Series machines, as well as two 140M joystickcontrolled units), with the balance being larger mining graders, such as the 160H and 16M. For any plant hire business, optimal equipment selection is essential and for Wicus Burger, general manager: Engineering at MCC, Cat graders remain the machine of choice. “We’ve always regarded the Cat 140 series as a ‘bulletproof’ choice for our plant hire business and the latest generation 140K is clearly a further refinement in Caterpillar’s ongoing research and development programme,” says Burger, whose department is responsible for the maintenance and in-field support of MCC’s earthmoving fleet. BELOW Designed to keep on delivering, technological enhancements on the Cat 140K translate into increased productivity and improved serviceability
“Operator comfort and all-round in-cab visibility are now of an even higher standard.” Building on the enduring reputation of its motor grader lineage, Caterpillar’s new K-Series, which replaces the H-Series standard version, has been making its presence felt on projects worldwide since being launched in 2010. The first K-Series model, the Cat 120K, was introduced to the Southern African market last year, with the larger Cat 140K construction grader now available locally from the first quarter of 2011. “The H-Series has been the industry standard in a variety of heavy construction, mining, road building and governmental applications, and the K-Series continues this class-leading tradition,” says Barloworld Equipment Cat sales professional, Craig Shepherd. Designed to continue delivering, technological enhancements on the Cat 140K translate into increased productivity and improved serviceability. Cat’s standard lever arrangement (with eight base functions) has been retained and is designed to allow for ease of multifunction control. The 140K is driven by Cat’s proven C7 ACERT engine, with its 7.2 ℓ displacement, which combined with an improved power management strategy and an advanced monitoring capability significantly increases performance while keeping working costs to a minimum. Compared to the 140H’s Cat 3306 engine, the 140K’s C7 power plant provides a torque increase of 8 to 10%, depending on the application. Additionally, customised torque curves increase peak torque for improved lugging performance and responsiveness. The torque rise on the Cat 140K is around 47%, in contrast to the 33% of the previous generation H-Series. “We anticipate that we’ll enjoy substantial fuel savings when compared to the previous generation 140H machine,” comments Burger. Enhanced power management Standard on all K-Series models, the variable horsepower (VHP) feature increases machine

productivity by matching power to ground speeds. In the lower gears, where the machine is traction limited, engine horsepower is automatically reduced, lowering fuel consumption and minimising tyre slippage. The power management strategy starts with base power in gears 1 and 2, and increases by 7.5 kW when the unit is shifted into third gear. The horsepower increases another
We anticipate that we’ll enjoy substantial fuel savings when compared to the previous generation 140H machine 7.5 kW when the unit is shifted into fourth gear and it maintains maximum horsepower through to eighth gear. This allows the operator to maintain maximum rim pull, increasing ground speed and productivity. While on the move, electronic throttle control (ETC) provides easier and more precise throttle operation, and the addition of the electronic clutch pressure control (ECPC) system allows optimum inching modulation, providing better feel to the operator and smooth directional shifting. The end result for MCC Plant Hire and its clients is best-in-class, precision grading.
