Donation to UNICEFTebodin has recently handed over a

cheque to UNICEF to commemorate

Tebodin’s 65th anniversary. With this

donation UNICEF’s education and water

projects will be supported.

UNICEF is mandated by the United

Nations General Assembly to advocate

for the protection of children’s

rights, to help meet their basic needs

and to expand their

opportunities to reach

their full potential.

The donation was

presented to UNICEF

ambassador Mr. Paul

van Vliet by Mr. Pieter

Koolen on behalf of all

Tebodin employees.

Paul van Vliet is a well-

residential buildings with 2,800 new

homes, office buildings with

150,000 m2 of leasable space and

a 34,600 m2 commercial center,

the Corvin Atrium.

Big change for district 8 ‘Corvin Promenade completely changes

Clear objectivesPerfetti Van Melle was not satisfied

with the performance of the waste

water treatment facility, hovering

around the 26 percent mark. Part of

this under-performance had to do with

corrosion due to low pH (approximately

3.0 to 3.5) at the primary treatment

units of the system. So the objectives for

Tebodin Vietnam were clear: to improve

the performance and the capacity of

the waste water treatment facility.

One of these is to conduct a study for and the design of an extended waste

water treatment facility at the same plant. The facility is now able to treat

2,500-3,000 kg COD a day. Perfetti van Melle and local partner Saigon Foods

Company aim to double this capacity to 6,000 kg COD a day. Another tender

Tebodin has been invited to is for the civil and structural design of the plant itself.

‘The government has issued new regulations for factories regarding the treatment

of industrial waste water’, Mr. Doan explains. ‘As a result, many companies need

to rebuild or modify their existing waste water treatment facilities. The work we

have done for Perfetti van Melle Vietnam/Saigon Foods Company hopefully paves

Ever since 2002, the Tebodin office in Poznan, Poland, has enjoyed close relations with the local University of Technology. Recently a further contract was again signed for Tebodin to execute the project supervision for the Technical Library and Lecture Centre to be built.

The University of Technology has

announced major new investments

to develop urban planning as well as

the Library and Lecture Centre on its

Piotrowo campus. This development

will include constructing a complex of

three major buildings separated by three

passages radiating from the area in front

of their main entrances. The complex

will be complemented by a riverside

boulevard which will accommodate

vehicles as well as bicycles and

pedestrians.

Three new buildingsMr. Szymon Kubicki, coordinator of

the works on behalf of the University

explains, ‘The three buildings will include

the Institute of Computer Science as

well as the Technical Library and Lecture

Center. The official opening is planned

for October 2010, and we feel sure that

we will meet this deadline.’

Cooperation over 8 yearsMr. Tomasz Frycz acts as Tebodin’s

project manager. ‘We signed this

contract because we won the public

tender. Cooperation with the University

of Technology led us to prepare the offer

which fulfilled the client’s expectations.

As supervisors of the project on behalf

of the investor, we provide the specialist

staff for this project.’

Wide-ranging inspection tasksThe Tebodin tasks will be the inspection

and supervision of the work in the fields

of construction, telecommunications,

and roads as well as the electrical and

power installations. In addition, the

heating, ventilation, water supply,

sewerage and gas installations are also

Tebodin’s responsibilities.

ICT innovator SURFnet asked Tebodin to assess its Cradle to Cradle capabilities to establish direction for a move towards green operations.

SURFnet is a non-profit subsidiary of

SURF, a Dutch partnership for ICT-

driven innovation. Students, teachers,

researchers and network supervisors

from over 180 institutions use SURFnet’s

hybrid network every day. The electronic

highway we were promised is really

taking shape now, with ‘Lichtpad’

enabling multiple traffic streams with

gigantic amounts of data, including high-

quality video.

‘We are the driving force behind ICT-

based innovation in higher education

and research in the Netherlands’, says

SURFnet innovation program manager

Mr. Harold Teunissen. ‘We develop and

operate shared IT facilities at speeds not

yet offered by commercial parties. Last

year we successfully demonstrated a

100 Gbit/s optical connection between

Amsterdam and Hamburg. There is also

a 40 Gbit/s optical connection between

SURFnet and CERN in Geneva.’

Like most other industries, the world

of ICT is evolving towards a sustainable

future. ‘Energy use is the first that

springs to mind here, but much more

can be achieved with Cradle to Cradle

principles’, says Tebodin Cradle to Cradle

consultant Mr. Jan Gerrit Grooters. ‘Let’s

go further than sustainable; let’s try to

be beneficial. In a series of workshops,

we are together investigating the

practical potential of Cradle to Cradle

in IT infrastructure. As far as I am

aware, that hasn’t been done before.

By carefully considering subjects such

as water, materials, waste, climate and

biodiversity, we can come to creative

solutions to enlarge the Cradle to Cradle

footprint of SURFnet, keeping it at the

forefront of IT development.’

3Tebodin World, October 2010

Instant soups and seasoning are becoming popular in Russian households. In a new EPCM project for Nestlé, Tebodin is realizing a brand new Maggi factory in the town of Vyazniki, some 300 km east of Moscow. The work started this summer and by December 2011, construction is to be complete.

Nestlé of Switzerland, founded in 1866,

is today’s leading nutrition, health and

wellness company. The Nestlé group has

456 factories and industrial enterprises in

84 countries.

The production of Becherovka, a renowned Czech herbal liqueur with over 200 years of history, was relocated from central Karlovy Vary to the city outskirts this summer. Tebodin proved to be the perfect partner in making the move as easy as possible, says Mr. Vladimir Darebnik, Operation Director and Project Manager at Jan Becher-Karlovarska Becherovka (JBKB).

JBKB is part of the Pernod Ricard Group,

the world’s second largest producer of

wines and spirits. Becherovka is a bitter-

sweet liqueur based on over 20 different

herbs and spices. The recipe is a closely

guarded secret. First developed in 1807

by local pharmacist Joseph Becher,

Becherovka has become a favorite in

much of Central and Eastern Europe.

Especially popular at home today is

mixing the drink in cocktails. Best

known is a mix of Becherovka and tonic,

abbreviated to ‘beton’, Czech

for concrete.

Long traditionBecherovka belongs to Karlovy Vary.

The spa town in West Bohemia is

famous for its springs, and Becherovka is

affectionately known as ‘the 13th spring’.

Production has taken place in the same

building at Tomas Garrigue Masaryk

Street from 1867 until now.

Mr. Darebnik: ‘Back then it was just

outside the town, but today it’s in the

city center. This was one reason we

decided to move production to our

bottling plant in Karlovy Vary-Bohatice,

which was built in 2005. The product

had to be moved there by truck.

Production and bottling on the same

location makes sense; it’s safer and less

costly. Another reason is that we expect

volume growth in the years to come.

At the old location the production

volume was limited.’

The economic crisis does not seem to

have an adverse effect on Becherovka,

and new markets are developing. Export

levels to Germany, Poland, Russia,

Ukraine and Hungary, all real ‘herb

countries’ according to Mr. Darebnik,

are stable and slightly on the increase.

‘Strenghtening our position on these

traditional markets is an important

first step. At the same time we see

opportunities in China and the United

States, where there is good interest in

our product. The same is true for

several smaller EU markets and the

Balkan countries.’

‘This project was a real partnership, in which all

requirements were met without difficult extra agreements or any problems, and I can assure you

that is unusual.’

Food and BeverageTebodin was involved in the Becherovka

project after the design phase.

Mr. Darebnik: ‘The design of the

new factory was started by another

designer before I came to Becherovka.

When I started organizing the tender,

I recognized that Tebodin is the right

partner for us. In Russia I worked for

multinational foods company Nutricia

the tender preparations, construction

supervision, site safety and coordination

of contractors.’

Real partnershipJBKB has been making Becherovka in the

new 1,500 m2 location since the start of

July. The aim is to increase production

by 40 percent before 2014. ‘There has

been no problem converting the trial

permit into a permanent one at the

end of September. Tebodin has proven

to be a reliable partner once again, due

to the efforts of specialists such as

Mr. Tomáš Tucauer and Mr. Jirí Kucera.

There was nothing that could not

be solved. This project was a real

partnership, in which all requirements

were met without difficult extra

agreements or any problems, and I can

assure you that is unusual. This flexibility

and the willingness to react immediately

are hard to find. The service has been

excellent and just what we needed.’

for seven years. The biggest engineering

jobs there went to Tebodin. They not

only have broad experience in Food and

Beverage, they also have all technical

specialists directly available. If something

is wrong, you can count on them to

fix it. They took care of all necessary

design changes and were responsible for

Tebodin Poland was awarded a contract by the Regional Roads Authority ZDW in Łódz for the investor’s supervision during the reconstruction and extension of road number 708.

The 708 connects the towns of Ozorków and Brzeziny via Stryków, just north of

the city of Łódz. The works include a bypass of Stryków and should be finished by

the end of November 2012, says Tebodin project manager Mr. Marek Labuda of

the Poznan office. ‘We fulfil the Contract Engineer function and take care of the

investor’s supervision, not only for the road itself, but also for the reconstruction

of bridges, culverts and noise barriers. In fact, the complete infrastructure along

the 708 is being overhauled as part of this contract. It includes the power

Maggi, also of Switzerland and

founded in 1872, is a Nestlé

brand of instant soups,

stocks, ketchups, sauces,

seasonings and instant

noodles. With the recent

popularity boost in

Russia, Nestlé wants to

keep satisfying consumers

demands. This new factory will support

future growth and product innovations.

Reliable partnerTebodin Russia has already shown its

capabilities in several previous projects

for Nestlé, including a major extension

of the Nescafé instant coffee factory in

Timashevsk.

Nestlé was impressed with the results:

‘Tebodin is proving to be a competitive

and well organized consultant and this

is the reason why we could entrust a

new project to the same people. They

have proven to be a reliable partner,

able to meet technical and challenging

permitting requirements. They also find

feasible and effective solutions.’

Challenging deadlineMr. Mikhail Senichev of the Tebodin

Moscow office is the project manager

for the new Maggi production and

distribution center in Vyazniki. ‘There is

a challenging deadline and we have to

keep up the speed. Our team is working

on the basic and detail design, the

tender package and the permitting.

We will also provide construction

support and take care of the project

all the way until the commissioning

phase is concluded. In 2012, the plant

will start producing at a capacity of

4 Tebodin World, October 2010

With the joint venture between Tebodin and Libyan company P.C.C. (Petroleum & Chemicals Consultancy), Tebodin enters the African continent. Director Mr. Bassam Tomi in the Tripoli office: ‘we are the first private company of its kind in this country.’

If the skyline and waterfront plans for Libya’s capital Tripoli are anything to go

by, things are only just getting started. Libya is opening up to the world and

welcomes Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), which rose by 40 percent to over

$ 18 billion last year. The oil-rich North African nation has large foreign reserves

and hardly needs capital, but it does want economic diversification, more citizen

participation, knowledge transfer and jobs. With one of the most progressive

FDI laws and a recently reformed tax law, Libya wants to expand its economy

through industrial development and investment beyond the oil and gas sector.

Oil, gas and waterTebodin Design & Engineering Technology, Libya is the full name of the joint

venture, based on a 60/40-share distribution between Tebodin and P.C.C. In

everyday use, the new company will simply be known as Tebodin Libya. Mr.

Tomi, who was educated as a chemical and process engineer in the United

Kingdom, has worked as an engineering consultant for many multinational

companies in the oil & gas industry. ‘To start with, Tebodin Libya will focus on

the local oil and gas market as well as the water sector. We see good business

opportunities because many regular Tebodin clients are developing activities in

Libya.’

P.C.C. is already well known in the Libyan oil & gas sector. ‘In 1988 P.C.C.

introduced inspection services and chemicals and petroleum consultancy. In

2000 the company added environmental services and specialists in the fields of

seismic, drilling, production, and general industrial projects. The branch offices

at Ras Lanuf, Misurata and Zawia cover services in oil fields, refineries and

petrochemical plants. The LERCO refinery at Ras Lanuf is one

North Africa’s largest.’

Modernization and an increase of production and exports are major objectives

in the Libyan oil & gas sector. The country’s production currently stands at

1.8 million barrels of oil a day and 16 billion cubic meters of gas a year. ‘Tebodin

Libya offers the latest expertise to both the national oil companies who are

the major producers, and to the international companies mostly involved in

exploration.’

Industrial developmentMr. Tomi has seen many changes taking place in Libya over the past few years.

‘The country’s infrastructure is being renewed, telecommunications have really

improved and whole company villages are being built to accommodate foreign

workers. Because of our insider position in Libya, we can assist clients with

their investment plans and deal with cultural differences and bureaucracy in a

way that few other parties can. In the longer term therefore, as more investors

discover Libya as the heart of the Mediterranean, we are confident we can play

an important part in the country’s industrial development.’

Knauf Insulation, part of the Knauf Group of Germany, is the world’s fastest-growing insulation manufacturer. In the St. Egidien factory in Saxony, Tebodin supported Knauf on site to bring a difficult expansion project to a successful completion.

Knauf Insulation, one of Tebodin’s

global clients, produces a wide range of

insulation materials to meet the growing

demand for energy efficiency and

acoustic performance in new and existing

homes, commercial and industrial

Rijk Zwaan Zaadteelt & Zaadhandel BV is a leading Dutch vegetable seed company. Tebodin was made responsible for the latest adaptations to the laboratory facilities, offices and the canteen at the company’s Fijnaart location in the Netherlands.

Rijk Zwaan develops and sells high-

quality vegetable seeds for professional

horticulture. With some 25 different

crops, 850 varieties and sales in over

a hundred countries, the company

belongs to the global top-5 of vegetable

breeding companies. ‘With fundamental

research, Rijk Zwaan continuously works

on the development of new varieties.’

In Fijnaart, the company has highly

specialized laboratories in the areas of

biochemistry, cell biology and

molecular biology.

Tebodin contributed to the development

of the 65-hectare site, chosen for its fine

soil, when Rijk Zwaan moved to Fijnaart

buildings. Knauf Insulation has around

5,000 employees in 30 production sites

and is active in more than 50 countries

all over the world.

Mr. Marc Vrancken and Mr. Detlef

Wolf, project managers with Knauf

Insulation, explained about the project’s

background. ‘The company is rapidly

expanding with new factories while also

assembly line for stone wool when we

is very experienced in the design of

laboratories’, says Rijk Zwaan project

manager Mr. Leo Woudenberg, who is a

laboratory manager. ‘They also designed

our Seed Technology Centre in De Lier,

where seeds are processed and packed

for export. In Fijnaart, we wanted to

expand all our activities. A project this

size and complexity always brings some

difficulties, but Tebodin specialists such

as Gijs Speekenbrink and Wim Bosma

have made this project into a success.’

Flexible layoutAs Tebodin project manager Mrs.

Daniëlla Taks-Husson explains, the

laboratory was both enlarged and

adapted. ‘In architectural terms, the

expansion had to be in line with the

existing building. To introduce a new

level of flexibility in the positioning

of laboratory equipment, new utility

walls and ceiling. Due to the new

open ceiling structure, new equipment

called upon Tebodin for assistance.

They had joined in completing several

other projects for Knauf Insulation

and we needed a reliable and

experienced partner.’

Coordination issuesThe project had to deal with the

usual challenges, said Tebodin project

manager Mr. Udo Schliefkowitz. ‘A very

tight schedule and many simultaneous

activities in an extremely confined space

led to time-consuming coordination

issues at the start of the construction

stage. ‘Tebodin was able to support

construction cost reductions with

experienced construction management

personnel and the use of an effective

cost control system. Step by step

the complex site and construction

management, including HSSE, were

transferred to Tebodin staff. We managed

the site operations and also provided

construction management for Piping, E&I

and Process. We are proud of that and,

as Knauf Insulation is perfectly satisfied

with the results, we think Tebodin will

be involved in future projects.’

Mr. Zakharchenko Petro Volodymirovuch is a professor at the Kyiv National University of Construction and Architecture (KNUCA), formerly the Kiev Civil Engineering Institute, in Ukraine. He observes an increase in Public Private Partnerships in which the private sector is involved in the realization and financing of governmental objects.

Growing popularityPublic Private Partnerships (PPP) may vary from simple service contracts to

involvement in financing, design, construction and management of infrastructure

objects. PPP grows in popularity mainly because state budgets come up short

for large projects at a time of growing demand for infrastructure projects for

future economic development. PPP projects allow the state to share major risks

with the more risk-accustomed private sector. Private investors and financial

institutions also find PPP projects attractive, recognizing new business areas.

Euro 2012 in Ukraine Many developed countries intensively use PPP methods, including The

Netherlands where such projects amount to over 2 billion euros. In developing

countries PPP is introduced on a modest scale so far, influenced by political risks

and potential problems with project realization. Such is the current situation

in Ukraine, where the state experiences a serious budget deficit for realization

of large scale infrastructure projects and aims to improve its investment

attractiveness to foreign investors. This is especially important in view of

preparation for the Euro 2012 Football Championship in Ukraine and Poland.

PPP is considered a realistic mechanism to help finance and develop major

infrastructure objects for Euro 2012, such as sports structures, airports and roads.

Supporting PPPUnfortunately, PPP is not widely known in Ukraine. So, at the initiative of

Tebodin and with active support of Tebodin and KNAUF, our university launched

a new PPP study program. We also published a detailed PPP manual for higher

education institutes. This book includes Tebodin’s experience with a similar

approach for the new terminal at International Lviv Airport, where Tebodin is

General Designer and provides consultancy on PPP to the Ministry of Transport.

Our graduate students now get this knowledge first hand and will be more

prepared for new business challenges in our quickly developing world.

We sincerely believe that new business methods like PPP are a good example of

mutually beneficial cooperation between private business and the public sector in

Ukraine. We really appreciate Tebodin’s support in such an important educational

initiative.

With profits on the rise, companies in the chemical industry will be flocking to the Chemical Park Tagil in the Ural region in Russia. Tebodin and UCP

Chemicals are joining forces to secure a

smooth landing of new

investors.

Most promising industryAs in most industries, margins are still

tight, but profits are on the rise in the

Russian chemical industry. Chemical

production recovered in the first half of

2010 to record a 19.5 percent increase

over the same period last year, according

to the Russian Ministry of Economy. The

chemical industry is currently rated as

one of the most promising industries in

the country, attracting more and more

investors every year.

However, setting up business may be

significantly hindered by searching for a

suitable site, obtaining permits, analyzing

raw materials and sales markets,

and so on. As a result, infrastructure

expenditures during the project start-up

period may take up a significant share of

investments.

A walk in the parkAt Chemical Park Tagil most of these

problems have been successfully

solved. ChemPark Tagil is an established

specialized chemical facility, producing

plastics, organic chemical materials and

structural materials. The park occupies

an area of over 140 hectares and has a

developed infrastructure. The ChemPark

offers investors industrial sites of a half to

five hectares, equipped with all necessary

supply lines and facilities.

Impressive line-upToday, ChemPark Tagil accommodates

such companies as Uralchimplast,

UralMethanolGroup, UCP-Cavenaghi,

UCP-Amdor, Ural Plant of Plasticity

Agents, and Khimmash-Service.

An impressive line-up of potential

investors have expressed their interest

in the chemical park, including

Infracor (Marl Chemical Park), LanXess,

Sumitomo Bakelite, BASF, Dow Europe,

Huntsman, Krems Chemie, Schenectady

International Group, Univar, and ARCL.

Chemistry in cooperationTo further promote ChemPark Tagil,

Tebodin Ekaterinburg and Uralchimplast,

a subsidiary of the Austrian company

UCP Chemicals, have entered into

a Memorandum of Understanding.

Tebodin will provide project awareness

among its international clients in

the chemical market and will advise

Urachimplast on technical and master

planning issues when required.

The partnership will surely add a spark

to the development of the chemical

industry in Russia.

LEED stands for Leadership in Energy

and Environmental Design. This system,

developed in the USA, is actually based

on the British system BREEAM (British

Research Establishment Environmental

Assessment Method). Together, they

have become the global standard for

green buildings.

Measuring tools‘Worldwide, there are now more

than 12,000 new buildings in the world

in the LEED certification process, and

over half a million are registered to be

BREEAM-certified’, says Mr. Willem

Stevense, architect at Tebodin The

Hague. ‘LEED and BREEAM measure

how well a building, a complex and in

the near future even a whole residential

area performs on issues such as the site

itself, energy savings, CO2 emissions,

water efficiency, indoor environmental

quality and stewardship of natural

resources.’

Demand and benefitsIn today’s business environment,

sustainability and social responsibility

are increasingly important. In China for

example, architect Mr. Dave Gou and

HVAC engineer Mr. Steven Liu, both

LEED accredited professionals at the

Tebodin Asia Pacific office in Shanghai,

see a sharp increase in the demand for

their services.

Mr. Gou: ‘Participation in the

voluntary certification process shows

environmental leadership and innovative

drive. Moreover, there are important

long-term benefits in reaching for a

benchmark that is much higher than

today’s regulations. LEED and BREEAM

are quickly gaining ground.’

Prestigious projectsCareful guidance through each phase

provides clear results and tight cost

control, as is emphasized by Mr. Pavel

Houfek, project manager at Tebodin

Czech Republic. ‘We are working on an

EPCM project for the new AU Optronics

manufacturing plant in Trencin, Slovakia.

The Taiwanese company is one of the

world’s leading producers of LCD

panels and wanted the building

LEED-certified. We were also

awarded a contract for EPCM services

by a North American company,

which is building a new industrial

plant in Czech Republic. The

Tebodin services include the LEED

certification process. The Tebodin

EPCM team in Czech Republic is

supported by the team from the

Shanghai office which is responsible

for the LEED certification.’

In an HSE survey of industrial construction sites in Lipetsk, Russia, the Yokohama site came out on top.

Yokohama Rubber Company of Japan is

building a production plant for car tires

in the Special Economical Zone (SEZ) of

Lipetsk, about 400 kilometers south of

Moscow. In a SEZ, large-scale industrial

investments are encouraged with tax

incentives.

Tebodin started the design work in

September 2009. The ground works on

the 24-hectare site began in January. The

comparison with other construction sites

in the region turned out very favorable

for Yokohama and Tebodin. ‘The report

was published in an industrial newspaper

and sounded almost like a fairytale to

us’, said construction manager Mr. Oleg

Nestruev at the Moscow office.

In a lively, almost lyrical description

of their visit, the auditors praised the

working conditions, safety measures,

communication, general order and

cleanliness. The ‘real industrial standards’

found here should be seen as an

example by other constructors. The

auditors also note that while ‘everything

is exciting at this site and deserves

every compliment, it is organized with

a western approach, and we work in

Russia.’

The start-up of the new Yokohama

plant in Lipetsk is scheduled for

September 2011. The factory will

produce 1.4 million tires a year and

expansions are possible in later project

phases. Tebodin is responsible for the

conceptual, basic and detail design, the

project management, procurement and

construction management services.

Poland’s road building program, and

the completion of the motorway

in particular, has been speeded up

because of the Euro 2012 football

championships in Poland and Ukraine.

Tebodin has already contributed to

many new and improved roads in

Poland. Mr. Artur Majczak, Director

at the Katowice office: ‘The General

Directorate of National Roads and

Motorways (GDDKiA) is familiar with

the way we work. They know they can

fully rely on our capabilities in road

design and construction, and on the

speed that is essential here.’

ConsortiumIn May of this year, GDDKiA issued

the public tender for the construction

contractor. Mr. Majczak: ‘in this

project, we lead a consortium of

several specialized companies. We

prepared all documentation needed

for the construction of a road section

of over 40 km, along with all the

necessary technical infrastructure such

as interchanges, bridges, viaducts,

service areas, underground utilities

and environmental protection .’

LogisticsBuilding this last section between

Rszeszow and Jaroslav will mark

the completion of the A4, but

Tebodin’s Muscat office has been awarded a detailed design project for the ‘Yibal

2nd Stage Depletion Compression’ by Petroleum Development Oman (PDO),

in continuance of the FEED project that has almost reached completion.

PDO intends to install a fourth depletion compressor at the Government Gas

Plant (GGP), identical to the existing three compressor units installed in 2006.

This installation will ensure that the gas plant can continue to produce at a maximum

throughput within the next 2 to 3 years The fourth depletion compressor is to be

installed as a re-wheeled compressor and construction activities will be carried

out in parallel with re-wheeling of the other three depletion compressors.

Projects done for IKEA include the IKEA West shopping center in Prague and the Avion shopping center for InterIKEA in Ostrava, Czech Republic.

Your first-aid kit may very well be filled with HARTMANN dressings and bandages – HARTMANN is one of the foremost European providers of medical and hygiene products. Tebodin Russia has been awarded a leading part as HARTMANN’s engineering and management partner for construction of a new production plant in Russia.

Strong marketHARTMANN, based in Heidenheim,

Germany, operates through subsidiaries

across Europe, North America, Africa,

Asia and Australia. In 2009, the 9,500

employees in the HARTMANN GROUP

generated sales of over 1.5 billion

euros. Despite the economic crisis and

cuts in healthcare budgets, sales of

their products in the fields of wound

treatment, incontinence hygiene,

and infection prevention keep rising.

HARTMANN is one of the oldest German

industrial companies, dating back to a

textile factory established by Ludwig von

Hartmann in 1818.

HARTMANN expects Russia to be an

emerging market for personal hygiene

products, such as Adult Incontinence

hygienic absorbent products. Such

products, based on HARTMANN´s

high performance standards, will be

manufactured in its Russian factory.

Implementation of the new project

in Gus-Khrustalny started in April

2010 with the conceptual design of

the production building, warehouse,

office block, technical buildings, utility

supplies, infrastructure and production

equipment, altogether covering

about 14,000 m².

Proven standardsHARTMANN has challenged Tebodin

to implement their proven working

standards at the new production site

in Russia. Hartmann chose Tebodin

because of its good references,

convincing experience and qualifications

to implement EPCM projects in Russia.

Furthermore, HARTMANN trusts

Tebodin’s capabilities to realize their

European expectations on quality, budget

and schedule in Russia. It also helps that

Tebodin staff is fluent in Russian, English

and German.

Far-reaching responsibilitiesTebodin is responsible for the complete

realization of the project and for the

investment budget. The Tebodin team of

20 experts take on project management,

design (conceptual, basic and detail),

permitting, procurement, commissioning,

and construction management.

Moreover, Tebodin and HARTMANN

have agreed on a target price for the

investment and on a no-claims bonus

system to motivate staying under the

target price.

To that avail, HARTMANN project

manager Wilhelm Esslinger, who

is experienced in construction and

controlling of quality, budget and

schedule, is working closely together

with Tebodin project manager Eberhard

Rohlfing in regular coordination meetings

in Moscow and Heidenheim. Securing

the operation permit will signal the end

of the project, around January 2012.

HARTMANN already foresees a role for

Tebodin in a possible future extension of

its new plant in Gus-Khrustalny.

An innovative process by RWE, a key energy supplier, uses Germany’s lignite to supply clean, efficient, environmentally-friendly energy. Tebodin’s task is to provide a conceptual study for all inventories. This includes a selection and specification of all infrastructure, utilities and logistical systems.

There is immense pressure these days

for clean energy resources. RWE is a

major European player and plans a

unique lignite power plant incorporating

many new technologies which will

be environmentally friendly. The key

technology is Integrated Gasification

Combined Cycle with Carbon Dioxide

Capture and Storage (IGCC-CCS).

Unique new technologyUsing this technology, lignite will be

dried and gasified. The CO2 will be

captured and is planned to be stored

in salt caverns. The clean hydrogen

gas is then used to fire gas turbines.

Additionally the exhaust heat is used

to drive a steam turbine for enhanced

efficiency.

Innovative projectTebodin was entrusted with this

extensive and innovative project because

of its experience and competitive offer.

The project scope includes storage and

transport of solid wastes embedded

in an overall logistical plan with roads

and loading/unloading zones. Utilities

such as steam and condensate, raw

water, boiler feed water, fuel system

(LPG), fire fighting water, cooling water,

demineralized water, decalcinated

water plus several waste water streams,

plant air and chemicals were subject

to pre-engineering design. Tebodin

also determined the requirements for

secondary buildings, pipe racks, auxiliary

electrical systems and the tie-ins with

the existing on-site systems.

Specific experienceWe were selected because of our

experience in multidisciplinary projects

but also for our flexibility to cope

with the given scope within a tough

time frame. The multidisciplinary line

up of Tebodin enabled us to quickly

understand the needs of this innovative

plant technology. Following an intensive

briefing process we were able to

effectively work with our engineering

partner towards the desired high quality

outcome for our client RWE.

Close cooperationThe project started in July 2009 and

took approximately 11 months to

complete. Tebodin worked closely with

the client and another supplier, which

was responsible for the conceptual

engineering of the central process units

and some directly connected utilities.

RWE provided the conceptual design

for the power island and coal drying

procedure from other third party studies

to design a sound overall infrastructure.

Based on the results of this conceptual

study, RWE will decide on further

project development.

The property development sector has certainly been hit hard by the current

economic situation. Nevertheless, there are quite a few projects ongoing in

developing economies, especially those projects with a strong focus

on sustainability.

Tebodin remains very active in this market, particularly when it comes to Project

Management, Project Controls and Construction Management and Supervision.

Especially in challenging economic times the value of proper control over a

project is paramount and this is exactly where we add value.

The types of property that we deal with vary widely. All over the world we work

on offices, hotels, residential buildings, shopping malls, hospitals, airports and

multifunctional sports and leisure facilities.

Sustainable development is becoming exceedingly important. Tebodin is capable

of designing buildings to the highest standards of sustainability and has gained

experience with the implementation of methodologies such as LEED and

BREEAM* for many clients.

The design allows for quick future

expansions and the new facilities,

330 kilometers south of Moscow,

will serve the regional market.

The facility will focus on supplying

products to McDonald’s in Russia.

Cargill will also use this facility to

develop business opportunities with

other customers in the retail, wholesale

and food service sectors in Russia. Until

recently, Cargill had been supplying the

bulk of McDonald’s chicken volume

requirements in Russia from its facility

in Orléans, France. The decision to

make this investment is in line with

McDonald’s strategic choice of pursuing

local supply in Russia.

Cargill’s refined oils business supplies

oil to McDonald’s restaurants in Russia

from the Efremov site, and the poultry

processing plant will be able to further

benefit from on-site supply of oil for its

production process.

Today, aside from the company’s

significant grain and oilseeds activities, a

large number of other Cargill businesses

operate in Russia, in locations including

Voronezh, Efremov, Krasnodar and

Rostov. The company employs over

1,700 people in Russia and is one of

the most significant foreign investors in

the country with over US $ 650 million

invested in the local agriculture and food

industries.

Beat the heatImagine working in temperatures between 38 and 49 degrees Celsius. In the United Arab Emirates these extreme conditions can endanger worker safety as heat stress or increased body temperatures can lead to serious incidents.

That’s why this summer the QHSE

department of Tebodin Middle East

organized three heat stress campaigns.

‘Beat the heat’ meetings were held in

conjunction with the contractors

and major clients.

Creating awareness ‘Heat stress can pose a serious threat

and it is very risky for anyone to spend

more than ten minutes in the direct sun’,

Sabeer Ali, QHSE Manager at Tebodin

Middle East explains. ‘That’s why the

Ministry of Labour of Abu Dhabi has

around this issue.’ Creating awareness

is essential to change one’s behavior,

Sabeer Ali states. ‘The United Arab

Emirates is a multicultural society, with

employees originating mostly from South

Asia. Fortunately, the communication

material for this campaign was translated

into several languages. This increases the

chance that employees take better care

of themselves and their colleagues.’

Prevention Apart from making employees more

aware about health issues due to

extreme temperatures, the meetings

were also designed to advise the

attendees about how to cope with these

conditions. A regular intake of fluids is

essential to avoid dehydration. Eating

foods high in water content, such as

water melons, cucumbers and apples are

healthy and viable options because of

their fibre content. Protective clothing,

especially head gear, helps to avoid heat

stroke. Shifting work to cooler areas

during the hottest time of the day is also

a way to decrease the risk of becoming a

victim of the heat.

Ten years of partnership between EdeA and Tebodin was recently celebrated with a cake during a sponsor meeting between the two Boards of Management.

EdeA supplies steam, electrical power, technical gases and various qualities of air

and water to chemical companies on the Chemelot Industrial Estate in Geleen,

the Netherlands. The company operates and maintains all production and

distribution installations on Chemelot.

Tebodin became EdeA’s engineering partner in 2000 and has been taking care

of large and small engineering jobs ever since. For all those involved in this

partnership, there will be a festive gathering later this year.
