IT WOULD APPEAR that the time ofeconomic diversification is upon us in theMiddle East. The Saudi Arabian cabinet has recentlyapproved sweeping economic reformsaimed at moving the Kingdom away fromits reliance on oil, while the UAE and Qatarare also pursuing economic policies thatwill help them to reduce theirdependence on hydrocarbon revenues. With that in mind, this issue of TechnicalReview Middle East features articles onQatar’s approach to economicdiversification (p14), opportunities withinSaudi Arabia’s power sector (p22), andinvestment in the region’s roadinfrastructure (p28). We also look ahead to constructionshowcase Project Qatar (p58), whichreturns to Doha Exhibition & ConventionCentre this May, and we include the latestnews from the glass (p36), cabling (p38)and printing (p42) industries.

Qatar, the world’s leadingexporter of liquefied natural gas(LNG), and a prominent global

financial investor and donor, especially tocountries in the Middle East and NorthAfrica, has emerged during the last decadeas a mini ‘super-state’. Its tiny citizenryenjoys the highest GDP per capita,exceeding US$100,000 at purchasing powerparity (PPP) exchange rates. Qatar is well-placed to weather the regional slowdownthanks to macro-prudential policies,

shrewd investment planning and a stronglycapitalised and liquid banking system.

The country has accumulated ‘colossal’foreign assets as a result of optimalutilisations of natural resources. Proven gasand crude oil reserves total 188bn barrelsof oil equivalent (boe), and QatarInvestment Authority (QIA) owns anestimated US$250bn, according to theSovereign Wealth Fund Institute.Unsurprisingly major ratings agenciesacknowledge Qatar’s solid risk profile with

a higher investment grade rating (Moody’sInvestor Services “Aa2” and Standard &Poor’s “AA”, with a stable outlook), on parwith several industrialised economies andthe highest in the Middle East.

“Qatar has significant strength indefending its fixed exchange parity with thedollar due to availability of reserves tocover the monetary base and currentaccount payments over the next four years.The economy is sustainable in the long-term amidst short-term challenges,”

While its gas and oil reserves have helped it become one of the fastest growing economies in the region, Qatar is actingto diversify its economy and ensure the continuation of growth, in spite of lower oil and gas prices.

Real GDP growth in Qatar averaged 10.8 per centfrom 2008 to 2014. (Photo: Robert Harding)

commented Standard & Poors in a reportreleased in early 2016.

The government boasts capabilities toshield the domestic economy against oilprice volatility. The International MonetaryFund (IMF) said, “Qatar has been one of thefastest-growing countries in the region andthe near-term macroeconomic outlookremains strong. The decline in oil andnatural gas prices will substantially reduceexternal and fiscal surpluses, but its impacton growth will be softened due to theavailability of sizeable financial buffers andcontinued public investments.” Real GDPgrowth has averaged 10.8 per cent over2008-14, mostly driven by a double-digitexpansion of the non-hydrocarbon sector.

Fruits of diversificationThe government’s shrewd diversificationstrategy over recent years has placed Qatarin a vibrant position compared to peer GGCcountries, with arguably more than 60 percent of GDP presently deriving from non-hydrocarbon related businesses.

Concurrently, the non-energy sectorbetween 2008 and 2014 grew at 12.4 percent per annum, fuelled by buoyant activityin construction, financial services, retailtrade, manufacturing and communications.Large infrastructure projects, such as thenew metro in Doha, road building,highways and the continuous expansion ofthe new Hamad International Airport, aswell as urban regeneration – notablyMusheireb in the centre of old Doha andLusail to the north – have kept engineering,procurement and construction (EPC)companies busy.

A portfolio of ‘value-added’ downstreamindustries has flourished in the pastdecade. They include Qatar Petrochemical

Co; Qatar Chemical Co; Qatar Fertiliser Co;Qatar Vinyl Co; Qatar Steel Co; and QatarNational Cement Co; as well as two gas-to-liquids (GTL) plants – ‘Oryx GTL’ owned byQatar Petrochemical (QP), South Africa’sSasol and Chevron (USA); and ‘Pearl GTL’ –jointly owned by QP and Royal Dutch Shell.Qatar is now the world’s largest GTLexporter, producing more than 170,000bpd of ultra-low sulphur diesels. Heavy

industries enjoy access to cheap unlimitedfeedstock, paying just US$0.75-1 permillion British thermal units (BTUs), wellbelow global prices. While the utilisation ofgas resources is crucial to the economy,Qatar’s future also lies in its ‘high-tech’service-based economy and attractingmore foreign direct investment intomanufacturing and services.

buoyant, thanks to hefty infrastructurespending ahead of the 2022 FIFA World Cup,thus providing opportunities for small andmedium-sized enterprises, such as hotels,retail, transport and medical services.

Prioritising capital spendingProjects worth some US$200bn, equivalentto 104.5 per cent of GDP in 2015, have beenplanned over the next 10 years withUS$72bn of government projects alreadycommissioned. This figure excludes thehydrocarbons sector, where annualinvestments are expected to averageUS$3.4bn over 2015-17, according to QatarNational Bank. Despite still weak fuel prices,capital spending will continue to rise slightly– with the 2016 state budget focusing onlong-term national development. Qatar hasbudgeted for revenues of QR156bn(US$42.8bn) and expenditures ofQR202.5bn (US$55.6) during 2016. Large-scale spending totalling QR50.6bn(US$13.9bn) has been allocated for a newDoha port, railways, several large roadwaysand the expansion of electricity, water andsewage networks, thereby coping with asteady rise in the country’s population.

Qatar has the means to continueimplementing a mega investmentprogramme, with a view to advancingeconomic diversification and preparingitself to host the 2022 FIFA World Cup – thefirst time the event has been held in theMiddle East. Furthermore, the impact ofmarket volatility in the near term is unlikelyto be severe given sizeable financial buffersavailable to the government.

The Qatar Central Bank can inject

liquidity into the financial system throughdiscount window and repo operations –thus raising new capital by issuing Treasurybills and Treasury bonds – and reallocatingdeposits of state-owned enterprises(SOEs), as well as dipping into annualreturns and capital gains from the QIA’shuge offshore assets (including both directand portfolio investments).

Liquidity-rich Qatar, however, is notimmune to depleting external and fiscalbalances. Based on IMF estimations, apermanent US$10 fall in oil prices couldreduce Qatar’s GDP level by 2.5 percentagepoints after five years, assuming that theauthorities fully offset revenue losses withexpenditure cuts.

has established an approximately QR600bn(US$164.8bn) 10-year spending cap on newcapital projects with annual indicativetargets. Some non-priority schemes,including petrochemicals projects (notablyAl-Karaana and Al-Sejeel) are being shelvedor deferred.

Benign prospectsPwC Qatar envisages the economy growingat 6.2 per cent a year between 2016 and2019 (exceeding the regional average),underpinned by the following factors: • Strong demographics – the population is

forecast to surge by 10 per cent/year,reaching 2.5mn in 2018 due to thecontinuous influx of expatriate workers.This creates demands for powergeneration, water desalination andhousing to cope with a growingpopulation.

• A developed hydrocarbons industry,reflecting Qatar’s pivotal role in theglobal energy market. Qatar has one ofthe lowest costs of production,estimated at US$1.60 to US$2.00 permillion BTUs, and therefore remains aprofitable LNG producer. It is strategicallylocated to supply energy to major Asiamarkets (principally China, India, SouthKorea and Japan).

• Ongoing infrastructure spending androbust population growth should boostdomestic consumption, while fuelling

non-oil growth and accelerating output diversification.

“We see the outlook for the coming years asmoving to a more sustainable level ofgrowth, tighter fiscal discipline andcontinued diversification of the economy,”said Stephen Anderson, managing partnerat PwC Qatar.

Qatar ranks favourably on the WorldBank’s Doing Business indicators in the GCCregion; however, there is scope forimprovement relative to non-GCC peers. Tocreate a thriving investable climate the IMFhas advised the authorities to simplifybusiness registration, improveenforcement of contracts and enhance thequality of educational curricula, whilealigning it with labour market demands.Privatisation of SOEs would also promoteprivate sector activity.

H.E. Dr Saleh Al Nabit, minister ofdevelopment planning and statistics,explained, “This diversification of outputand the broadening of the economic baseare very welcome. However, to support thelong-term deepening of the economicbase, more needs to be done to boostprivate sector participation in theeconomy, the upgrading of skills,technology and productivity.”

In summary, beyond 2020, Qatar is poisedto enter a new more diversified phase ofgrowth in line with the ‘National Vision2030’. This aims to transform Qatar into anindustrialised, knowledge-based economy,capable of sustaining development andproviding prosperity for present and futuregenerations, based on the four main pillarsof human, social, economic andenvironmental development.

http://www.ni.com/en-in.html

A S DEMAND FOR electricitycontinues to rise in Saudi Arabia,so too does the market for quality

electrical equipment, services and supplies.The Kingdom’s electricity and water

minister said recently that the countryexpects peak electricity to hit 90,000MW in2022. Saudi Arabia’s current installedcapacity is around 70,000MW. This meansmassive investment spending ahead.

Minister of Water and ElectricityAbdullah al-Hussayen estimates that hiscountry will need more than US$130bnworth of new investment over the next 10years to cope with the rise in demand. Thiswill span all strands of the power industry,including generation, transmission anddistribution, from base load productionright through to renewables and generating sets.

Hussayen also said that the private sectorwould play a key part in the provision of anynew capacity.

Infrastructure rolloutThe rollout of new infrastructure has longbeen underway for state-owned SaudiElectricity Company (SEC), which said that

peak load hit its highest level ever in August2015, driven by summer demand. SEC’speak load rose by 10.2 per cent to62,260MW from 56,547MW a year earlier.

Given the scale of investment required,the utility is turning to private finance tobankroll larger developments. This includesthe planned combined cycle power plant atWaad Al Shamal, which will have a totalcapacity of 1,390MW. SEC is reportedlylooking to secure a loan of up to US$1bn tohelp finance the plant.

The project also includes 50MW of solarenergy, underlining the utility’sdetermination to expand the contributionof renewables to the power generation mix.The solar energy component is expected tosave the equivalent of four million barrelsof oil equivalent over the course of theproject, SEC hopes.

And, earlier this year, SEC signed aUS$1.4bn back-up credit facility with seveninternational banks. It follows a smallerdeal with local banks, National CommercialBank and Samba Financial Group, worth upto SAR2.5bn (US$666mn), taking thecompany’s total revolving facilities toaround SAR7.75bn (US$2bn).

Integrated strategyAs well as building new large-scale plant toboost generation, Saudi Arabia is also keento exploit any potential for regional powerpooling. While a regional grid already spansmuch of the GCC region, electricity tradevolumes remain tiny, at least for now.Increased power trading in the Gulf is seenas a way for countries to meet the hugeanticipated rise in energy demand withouthaving to invest individually in vast swathesof new infrastructure.

There are also hopes of developingelectricity links with non-GCC states,including Egypt, according to Hussayen, whosaid recently that contracts to build a grid toconnect the two countries will be signedthis year, with the project to be operating“at full capacity” before mid-2019. Again,this would entail substantial investment innew transmission infrastructure.

High demandAll of these options will be important asSaudi Arabia gets to grips with the challengeof providing power to more people, as thecountry’s population rises, and in keepingup with high demand from industry. This

The pace of activity and high level of investment in Saudi Arabia’s power sector means huge opportunity for suppliers ofelectricity services and equipment.

23Energy Insight


includes providing the required energy formajor industrial projects, such as the RiyadhMetro and Haramain Railway lines.

SEC is to provide 700MW of electricity forthe two rail projects, according to the utility’schief executive, Ziad bin Mohammed Al-Shiha. The Riyadh Metro will consume400MW, while the Haramain Railway projectwill gulp 300MW. Industry giant Siemens isproviding an electrification system, signallingand communications equipment and metrotrains for the strategic transport projects.

Indeed, the Riyadh Metro is currently theworld’s largest subway project, with six linesand a total route length of 175 km. The city’spopulation has doubled to five million since1990. But there is evidence of the rush tobuild new electrification networks andcapacity across the Kingdom, and in everyprovince. In Najran for example, SEC has anumber of projects underway or in theplanning at a cost of SAR1.8bn (US$480mn)to cope with population growth, rapidurbanisation and economic expansion.Current projects include the establishment ofdistribution networks, the electrification ofvillages, plus linking the central substation

and new substations at Sharafa andKhalidiya, East Najran airport and Thar, withthe Najran network.

Given the level of activity, it means there isplenty of opportunity for businesses across awide range of areas, from feeding into thenational rollout programme through tocontrol systems and training.

Naturally, it has drawn investment inrelated areas, including standards andcertification expertise. Intertek recentlyunveiled a new Saudi base to test and certifylow-voltage electrical products for the Gulfmark (G mark) scheme.

The G mark was developed by the GulfStandards Organisation (GSO) to ensurequality and safety for electrical equipmentand appliances sold in the region. As of 1 July2016, it will be mandatory for all low-voltageelectrical products entering the marketplaceto bear a G mark.

“With this designation, we can now morequickly and easily help customers access theGulf region by providing the necessaryservices to obtain a G mark,” said BruceMcGill, Intertek VP of global certification. TheGSO and GCC had already granted the

designation to three Intertek locations in theAmericas and three in Europe; these labs joinother facilities in Shanghai, Hong Kong, andSingapore as approved bodies, allowingIntertek to deliver more localised services toclients seeking to enter the Gulf market.

Despite the frenetic pace of activity, SaudiArabia’s power rental market remains strong.Research group 6Wresearch forecasts annualgrowth of 12.6 per cent through the years2015-21 for gensets, citing demand in theconstruction and manufacturing industries,and the oil and gas sector, as well as the needto provide power to off-grid areas.

Whilst diesel generators have accountedfor the main share in the power rentalsmarket in the past, due to availability andinexpensive fuel, the consultancy says therecould be more of a shift to hybrid and gas-powered generators. This will, in part, bedriven by government initiatives towardsreducing carbon emissions.

Again, this is another crucial factor drivingSaudi’s energy policy, which will see agreater role for renewables even with themassive roll-out of new thermal-based baseload plant.

SWISS COMPANY BIOPIPE Global AG has launched theworld’s first biological wastewater treatment pipe. With thesigning of an exclusive license agreement with Metito,

provider of total intelligent water management solutions, the pipesystem will soon be available in Asia and Africa markets.

The brains behind the invention are two young entrepreneurs —Enes Kutluca and Enver Misirli, co-CEOs of Biopipe Global AG.

According to Enes, the patented green system is inspired bynature and uses a simple process to treat wastewater inside a pipe.Wastewater passes through high quality filtration stage to completethe treatment, after which the treated water can be used directlyfor organic farming, irrigation, underground aquifer injection or canbe safely discharged into lakes, rivers or the sea. It can alternativelybe stored in a clean water tank for later usage. Moreover, unlikeother traditional wastewater systems, Biopipe produces no sludge,no odour, no sound and no waste, making it one of the most eco-friendly wastewater treatment processes in the world.

Support from an industry leaderFady Juez, Metito managing director, said, “Metito has been in thewastewater treatment industry for 55 years. We treat water forhuman consumption and industry use. In recent years, for us it hasbeen recycle, recycle and recycle. We are now looking at how tofind renewable water resources to support this. There has been agrowth in industry, populations and standards of living, while theavailability of new resources has been stagnant. For us, treating thewaste and then recycling is important.

“Historically, treating water was meant to be in a tank where youput in the bacteria and then clean water. Now we have a pipe thattreats water on the go without producing sludge. Sludge is a majorproblem in big cities with brimming populations like in Asia andAfrica, which makes treatment an additional cost for the utility orthe operators. Also in that part of the globe — Asia and Africa —affordability and cost-effectiveness are crucial.”

Juez explained that when they first came across the Biopipetechnology, it was an immediate yes for them as they are always onthe lookout for sustainable, cost-effective and environmentally-friendly solutions.

“We are working with Biopipe to give them the strength,knowledge and technology of Metito to expand into countries,sectors and government bodies. Together we can achieve greatthings,” Juez remarked.

Talking about how Biopipe functions, Kutluca revealed, “Biopipeis a great example of how we can solve environmental problems inan economical and feasible way. Imagine a system that produces nosludge and no added chemicals, and just treats 100 per centwastewater biologically. The pipes are made of PVC material thatmakes the system durable and low maintenance. The length of thepipe can be increased by adding nodes to suit individualrequirements or utility. Another advantage is that we can controlthe system from remote locations and mobile phones. The Biopipecan be installed in the backyard or on the rooftop of a residentialhouse, as well as in a utility facility.”

How it worksAll you need is a circulation pump and the Biopipe. Once the tank isfull, water circulates inside the pipe (lined with live bacteria)connected to the tank and the treatment starts. It takes up to twoto four hours for the water to be treated completely. After this, theclean water is pumped to a separate water tank. A discharge pumpis linked to a UV filter for last disinfection and then it is released intothe drinking water system.

Misirli, who is also the brain behind Biopipe, noted, “This novelidea struck me five years ago. Wastewater treatment is not a bigspend in Dubai, but in Asia and Africa, its an added cost to thegovernment. A lot of money is spent to treat wastewater andoperating such plants. Moreover, a lot of countries do not havetreatment plants. So I came up with the idea to create a system

Marketed by Metito, the Biopipe Global AG invention helps treat wastewater inside a PVC pipe and is the first-of-a-kind in the world.

where each house could treat its own water. This way they wouldsave a lot of costs and not depend on utilities. I also travelled tounderstand what system would work. Biopipe system is based onhow wastewater is treated in a river. Wastewater is flushed into theriver and the bacteria on the stone surface cleans that water. Thisprocess produces no sludge. We noticed that this treatment ishorizontal and not vertical. Therefore, I wanted to invent a systemthat copied this method and thus, created Biopipe. It is simple touse and the building materials for the pipe are found everywhere.Shipping too is easy and hassle-free.”

On the marketing agreement with Metito, Kutluca continued tosay that Biopipe Global AG is happy to partner with Metito onlicensing and sales agreement. “We are happier as we can nowexpand technology to Asia and Africa with Metito. We already havemany inquiries in Qatar, Dubai and Turkey, as well as other countries.

This agreement is a big step for us. As we don’t have the experienceto market the product now, Metito is helping us in this respect. Itknows the market and without Metito we would not be able toachieve this.”

Through this agreement Metito will exclusively offer the Biopipesystem to communities across Asia and Africa.

A HOST OF ROAD building schemesare underway in the region, drivenby factors such as population

growth, and urbanisation, often as part ofintegrated infrastructure developments.Easing road congestion, improving trafficflow and enhancing connectivity will play akey role in achieving long-term objectivessuch as economic diversification, theattraction of investment and regionaldevelopment.

The decline in oil prices has, however,resulted in budget constraints. “We haveseen project suspensions, delays, de-scoping of infrastructure plans and paymentslow-downs, along with low-price contractawards,” comments Gary Adams, MEApresident of Parsons, which has contributedto some of the major road programmes inthe GCC. “However, the GCC countries arestill going ahead with road projects that are

vital for their development.” Investment in road projects in Saudi

Arabia has been driven primarily bymodernisation and expansion, with anemphasis in interchange enhancements,Adams comments. The development ofindustrial clusters in non-urban regions isspurring the construction of new roads,while Makkah has attracted increasedgovernment spending to develop andupgrade its infrastructure.

In Qatar, around US$20bn is due to beinvested in roads over the next five to sevenyears, according to the Qatar InvestmentFund (QIF). Public works authority Ashgal’sExpressway programme is well advanced,and will provide vital transportation linksacross Qatar connecting key cities, townsand villages with national freeways andurban arterial routes, improvingconnectivity across Doha and wider Qatar. It

will deliver more than 900 km of new roadsand an array of underpasses, flyovers andmulti-level interchanges to enable free-flowing traffic and improved journey times.Examples include the New Orbital Highwayand Truck Road which will connect thesouth of Qatar to the north, the LusailExpressway, which will provide a vitalconnection into Doha’s fast-growing LusailCity Development area currently underconstruction; and the East West Corridor,which will create strategic links with thesouth of the city, connecting the newOrbital Highway and Truck Road to the NewHamad International Airport. Theseprojects also include major infrastructureimprovements such as storm waterdrainage networks, communicationsnetworks, street lighting, and intelligenttraffic systems (ITS).

(RTA) is progressing a number of projects aspart of its masterplan to upgrade thenetwork of roads, bridges, crossinsgs andtunnels to accommodate increased trafficand improve mobility throughout Dubai, asthe emirate gears up to host Dubai Expo2020. These include the major ShindaghaCorridor improvement project consisting ofa new bridge that will connect Bur Dubai toDeira; a new 12-lane expressway; multiplemajor interchanges; and local roadwayimprovements throughout the historicdistrict of Dubai. At a federal level, the UAE’sministry of public works is attaching priorityto easing traffic between the emirates and isplanning seven new roads in Sharjah, Ras AlKhaimah and Fujairah.

Kuwait has just embarked on a five-yearroad development programme, whileBahrain’s road network is benefiting from asignificant injection of GCC funds.

Elsewhere, Jordan’s ministry of publicworks is looking to float a tender for theimplemention of the US$170mn deserthighway rehabilitation project, funded bythe Saudi Fund For Development (SFD),which entails a complete rebuilding of the

220 km road running from the Queen AliaInternational Airport intersection to MaanGovernorate, and is the main road linkingthe capital to the southern region,particularly Aqaba Port.

Dr. Abdullah bin Mohammed Belhaif AlNuaimi, the UAE’s minister of public works,highlighted the importance of developingArab land transportation in drivingeconomic growth and enhancingcommunication among Arab states at arecent conference in Dubai. The ministercalled for strengthening co-operation and

joint Arab co-ordination, and anintensification of efforts for attractinginvestment in the transport sector.

In Oman, the government is currentlyworking on completing the US$3.9bnBatinah Expressway, which will run to theUAE border as an an extension of theMuscat Expressway. A 680 km long roadlinking Oman and Saudi Arabia was recentlycompleted, linking the two countries by landfor the first time and cutting the journeytime between them by more than 500 km.And plans have been announced to build abridge over the Red Sea between Egypt andthe Kingdom with the aim of boosting tradeas well as facilitating tourism from SaudiArabia and the Gulf into Egypt.

Road development schemes will presenta wide range of business opportunities.Adams notes in particular the growingdemand for smart technologies. “Deloittereckons the number of new smart citydevelopments in the GCC will double withinthe next two or three years.” Smartdevelopments will require increasedinvestments in ITS (Intelligent TransportSystems), he points out.


“The GCC countriesare still going

ahead with roadprojects that are

T ruck maNufacTurer DaImler trucks recentlypresented three driving trucks operated on the autobahnwith authorisation for public traffic as a so-called platoon.

Based on the ‘daimler trucks highway pilot system’ forautonomously driving heavy trucks, the three trucks link up toform an aerodynamically sound, fully-automated platoon. thecompany has named this advanced system development ‘highwayPilot connect’.

the completely connected truck systems can potentially initiatea change in transport which would make traffic more effective andefficient, especially for drivers, haulers and vehicle manufacturers.the combination can reduce fuel consumption by up to seven percent and the road space requirement on motorways by almost half– while improving traffic safety at the same time.

daimler aG board member responsible for daimler trucks andbuses, dr Wolfgang Bernhard explains, “We are connecting thetruck with the internet – making it the main data node of thelogistics network. it connects all those involved in goods – drivers,schedulers, fleet operators, workshops, manufacturers andinsurance companies or authorities. they receive information inreal time which was previously unavailable – about the conditionof the tractor unit and semitrailer, traffic and weather conditions,the parking availability at motorway service stations, rest areas andmuch more.”

he goes on to add, “all those involved in the logistical processcan use this real-time data for their needs. With flash updates overthe air or automated transfer of inbound time for trucks heading tothe service point maintenance time can be reduced significantly. inthis way we are considerably improving the performance of goodstransport as a whole.”

all members of such a platoon continue to be autonomouslydriving trucks and given their combination of liner and lateralguidance, are also expected to be able to react to unexpectedsituations by disengaging from the platoon and continueautonomously without any intervention.

such a system is also expected to be able to lessen carbondioxide emissions up to seven per cent by reducing aerodynamicdrag (vehicles in a platoon require only 15m distance betweenthem) while efficiently using road space.

the worldwide transport of goods is a prerequisite for economicgrowth. networking trucks can prove to be a promising prospectfor the entire good transport sector by making way for a faster andmore environment-friendly system.

Daimler Trucks is bringing trucking into the digital age by premiering three autonomously driving trucks, connected by WiFi, travelling together in a platoon.

energy, climate, and food and beverage. Levent Taskin, who waspreviously the regional manager of Danfoss Turkey, where he wasinstrumental in increasing the company’s growth by 40 per cent intwo years (the highest across the organisation), spoke to TechnicalReview in his new role.

Technical Review Middle East (TRME): Today is your first day atDanfoss in your new role. What are your plans and whatexperience do you bring with you?Levent Taskin (LT): I am a mechanical engineer by training with morethan 25 years experience in the HVAC industry. Two years ago, Ijoined Danfoss Turkey as the regional manager looking after Turkey,Iran, Pakistan and Azerbaijan operations. In my two years there, Ifocused on how to improve our services to our customers. That isalso my focus for the TMA in the future. We are looking to set up ageneral customer service centre to service clients 24/7, somethingthat needs more attention at the moment. Secondly, we are lookingto reorganise the after-sales services. We have eliminated some ofthe non-performing dealers and put in place some rules, standardsand an audit control system. We have already established our Turkeyoperation on the above mentioned criteria.

TRME: How are you looking to do this?LT: We are looking to provide more training to our stakeholders.For this reason, we have started e-learning facilities in the wholeregion, and more than 3,000 e-lessons are being provided forcustomers, engineers and students. It’s about the technology froman industry perspective and we talk about valves, compressors andmotors from a generic perspective. We give them the practicalknowledge and the initiative has been quite successful since itbegan in 2011. Globally, we have 40,000 active users.

This year, we are looking at how to extend this facility to 67universities in TMA. This will be a part of the CSR activity we wantto carry out in the region.

We also see some gaps in our customer sales service, and this iswhere we need firm leadership. We want to establish a one-stopshop for customers. Danfoss has innumerable products and worksacross three main areas — heating, cooling and conditioning. Wehave different dealerships. Sometimes we can lose energy andsynergy. Some products can be sidelined. We need to act as acompany rather than as different divisions. We are also moving toimplement the same software programme across all divisions, withthe same language and the same parameters whether it be SouthAfrica, Turkey or Dubai. We have 200 employees in TMA region.

TRME: What do you think are the biggest opportunities andchallenges in Turkey, the Middle East and Africa?LT: In Africa, hot weather and lack of storage facilities is drivingfood waste of up to 35 per cent, and still 800mn people in theregion go hungry every day. This is where Danfoss is looking tomake a difference. In the GCC, more than 90 per cent of the foodconsumed is imported, and this calls for a huge infrastructure incold storage. In Turkey and Iran, there is an increasing trend in thefood processing industry, whereas in other parts of the regionthere is a growing positive trend in food storage demand, which

As the company’s new regional president, Turkey, Middle East & Africa (TMA), Levent Taskin spoke exclusively withTechnical Review Middle East about his plans for the company.

pushes the cold chain infrastructure in the region. In terms ofenergy, one of the greatest challenges is the power shortage gap inmost of the Middle East. The governments in many parts of theregion have subsidised energy, but with current oil prices, thesustainability looks bleak. This is encouraging a growing demandfor energy efficient solutions. Also, the Middle East region hasexperienced tremendous infrastructure growth. While there maybe a slowdown in executing projects in the current market scenario,we believe Danfoss has a stronghold on existing projects where wewill continue to add value. The oil price is going to be a challenge inMiddle East and Africa markets, and Turkey’s instability ischallenging the general development of the country, whereconstruction is supported by government.

TRME: Can you speak about Danfoss’ role in the HVAC industry inthe MENA region?LT: With more than 10,000 components, including compressors,valves, sensors and heat exchangers, Danfoss Cooling provides itscustomers with innovative, energy-saving and precise controlsolutions. The business segment supplies components andsolutions to air-conditioning systems in many different buildingslike hotels, airports, shopping malls, train stations and otherbuildings that need energy-efficient and comfortable air conditioning.

In MENA, Danfoss sells its products via original equipmentmanufacturers (OEMs), wholesalers, contractors and installers, andin food retail, the segment also sells service-oriented solutions

directly to the end-users. The segment offers solutions to typical airconditioning applications like chillers and rooftop air-conditioningsystems in commercial and residential buildings. Danfoss Coolingalso targets the food and beverage industry, supermarkets withtotal store solutions, and makes cold storage and cold roomsolutions for the industrial refrigeration market.

The Africa and Middle East region is the most diversified regionin Danfoss. Despite the volatile business climate in parts of theregion, Africa and the Middle East also offer promising potential,with growing populations, increasing urbanisation, fast-growingeconomies and a focus on more efficient energy systems in the oil-producing countries. One of the countries in this region with stronggrowth potential is Turkey: cold winters and hot summers create ademand for heating and cooling technologies.

TRME: What are the energy-efficient solutions and sustainableHVAC equipment that Danfoss provides?LT: No matter what we produce, the goal is to optimiseperformance, increase efficiency and minimise waste. Energy thatwe don’t use doesn’t pollute and doesn’t cost money.

Danfoss Cooling has a very strong market position due to broadproduct solutions and a global presence. The segment addressesthe global need for safe, reliable and energy-efficient refrigerationand air conditioning. Danfoss identified growth areas, namelyinfrastructure, food, climate, and energy, which also drive demandfor Danfoss Cooling solutions. Leveraging its cooling applicationexpertise, the segment continuously develops new solutions tointroduce new technologies, e.g. within connectivity, new refrigerants, the game-changing Turbocor oil-free compressor technology and the segment’s innovative heatexchanger technology.

TRME: In terms of HSE, what does Danfoss bring to the fore?LT: In November 2015, Danfoss launched Climate Strategy 2030,which builds on what the company has already achieved since thefirst climate strategy was launched in 2008. Danfoss’ energyintensity measured as energy consumption per mDKK net sales hasbeen reduced by 29 per cent since 2007. The new strategy requiresDanfoss to reduce energy intensity by 50 per cent before 2030 anduse half as much energy to keep the business running. Danfoss’global energy-saving project includes the 21 largest factories andwill reduce the energy used to supply buildings with heating,cooling and lighting by 35 per cent. The project will, whenimplementation is completed in 2017, reduce total energyconsumption in the factories by more than 16 per cent, and reduceenergy costs significantly. More than 160 local projects have beeninitiated, and the project will be realised with a simple paybacktime of less than three years.

“Safety First!” is the group’s systematic approach to a safeworkplace. The focus at Danfoss is on having clear, alignedprocedures and standards to ensure a safe working environmentand avoid accidents.

TRME: Can you give a brief on Danfoss’ market share in theMiddle East and Turkey?LT: In the global manufacturing industry, global reach, size and scalematter. Therefore, we must be a significant player in the marketswhere we operate, and it is a key element in Danfoss’ businessmodel that our business segments hold leading positions as eithernumber one or two in their industries. We do have a high marketshare in most of the business we operate.

As a power systems engineer it’s essential that I keep up to date with what’s going on in the market and what our customers need. Based on this, I am constantly looking for better ways of doing things. Take our simulation-based protection testing solution; now even complex networks can be tested automatically from a single point of control. This allows a comprehensive assessment of the entire protection scheme, taking into account the settings and functionality of the individual relays.

The GCC Countries are witnessing an evolution phase,driven by an increase in government investments in theconstruction sector. The sector is projected to growth at a

healthy rate due to numerous factors such as favourablemacroeconomics, higher government allocation, positivedemographics, and rising tourism activities across the region,according to an IMF report.

Arabian German for Exhibiton & Publishing, organisers ofupcoming Glass & Aluminium Saudi Arabia, have revealed that thetotal project value of projects awarded to date in Saudi Arabia standat US$724,309mn, followed by the UAE at US$672,959mn. Kuwaitand Qatar also have a significant share of projects in the region.

The growth is primarily likely to be led by residential developmentand mixed use projects apart from infrastructure projects fuelled bythe large demand supply gap in the residential segment and thelarge disposable incomes of the predominantly native and largelyurbanising young population.

The construction glass market is primarily driven by intensedemand from building construction industry. Rising constructionstructures are expected to boost the construction glass market.Furthermore, emerging untapped industries are likely to offer newopportunities to the construction glass market.

The market is segmented on the basis of type into low-e glass andspecial glass. Based on chemical composition, the construction glassmarket is segmented into soda-lime, potash-lime and potash-lead.Based on manufacturing process, the construction glass market isfurther classified into float process and rolled/sheet process.

Furthermore, residential, commercial and retail are key applicationsegments of the construction glass market.

The Middle East is currently enjoying an unprecedented surge inhollow glassmaking. Business is expected to increase even furtherwith the opening of trade borders between Iran and the West.

The UAE’s location is unbeatable in terms of reaching businessesin the growing and dynamic nations of the GCC, India and Africa. Theregion is home to several hollow glass manufacturing plants in theUAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman and Kuwait, as well as India, Egypt andPakistan. Of the four container glass manufacturing plants locatedwithin the UAE itself, two (those owned by Saverglass and Rak GhaniGlass) have become operational in the past five years. Thisdemonstrates not only the region’s growing demand for hollowglass, but also that of its surrounding countries, as a high proportionof the UAE’s production is destined for export.

With the opening of trade agreements between Iran and theWest, the glass industry is set to benefit from increased exposure tothe Iranian market. Iran’s hollow glass industry is now preparing forinvestment from foreign companies looking to take advantage ofIran’s well established glass industry, as well as its vast reserves ofraw materials.

Keeping this in mind, Glassman Middle East, to be held on 10-11May 2016, will bring together all major sectors of the hollow,container and tableware glass industry. Leading global suppliers,technology experts and glassmakers are expected to attend theevent. Also, the Saudi Arabia’s construction sector looks set toexpand by 7.8 per cent between 2015 and 2019. The sector’ssustained growth is supported by government policies, an expandingpopulation and economic prosperity. Saudi Arabia currently boastsby far the largest construction sector in the MENA region and one ofthe most rapidly growing globally. These expansions leads to thegrowth of the window and door market substantially as well as theflat glass usage.

To create better avenues for businesses in Saudi Arabia and forinternational ventures in the Kingdom, from 1-4 May 2016, Glass &Aluminum Saudi Arabia Exhibition will be held at RiyadhInternational Exhibition Centre with more than 110 exhibitors.

“W ire and Cable is thefundamental element andskeleton of every

developed and developing economy” say AlFajer, the organisers of the biennial Wire &Cable Arabia trade exhibition in Dubai.Construction, defence, engineering,telecommunications and informatics,power supplies and transportation/signalling developments are all affected byadvances within this major industry, whichhas now reached its mature stage (i.e.innovating and producing successfully forexport) here in the Gulf.

Operators like Riyadh Cables Group ofCompanies (RCGC) and Ducab are nowamong the world leaders in an activitywithout which no complicated infrastructurecould possibly be completed today.

As the many selected events listed belowshow, most international cablemanufacturers are now highly specialised;the modern energy/telecoms/broadcastsectors having developed from older ropeand wire securing products that are stillextensively used in both lifting and miningequipment. RCGC (formerly Saudi ModernCompany for Cables, established in 1984)for example, has specialist divisionsoperating in the power transmission andtelecommunications sectors, transforming avariety of advanced construction materialssuch as antimony and fibre optics, as well asthe traditional copper, steel and aluminiumused in electricity distribution.

High-strength tensile products (i.e. wireropes) are still important, but the main

focus of the industry throughout MENA isnow in electrical and fibre-optic products ofall varieties – materials designed forefficient transmission of energy, telecomsand broadcast data. Nearly all of these haveto cope with the fundamentallyinconvenient fact that any current-carryingconductor produces an electromagneticfield, and will pick up distorting energyfrom other conductors around it. Secureshielding is, therefore, essential, and manyof the technical developments beingadvanced within the international industrytoday are associated with reducing suchdisruption, such as introducing newinsulation materials and applicationprocesses, and coaxial design.

Fire resistance is another built-inrequirement these days, and capableinstallers pride themselves on the design of cable runs that improve all of thesecharacteristics by means of shorter andreplaceable segments, appropriatematerials, and conveniently secure jointing techniques.

The main types they deal with includeprecision coaxial materials (as sometimesused in cable TV distribution), submersibles,both metallic and non-metallic sheathedtypes, ribbon informatics, and varioushybrid optical types. Specifying preciselywhich type of cable should go where, withwhat transmission capacity and under whatlocal installation conditions, is what aprofessional cable installer’s work is allabout. Heavily dependent on designconsiderations, this is now an important

sub-division within the wider spectrum ofconstruction specialisms.

Broadly-based Wire & Cable Arabia (nextedition 2017, date unknown as yet) is themain all-purpose local cable-tradeexhibition, matched in the telecoms andbroadcast sector by Cabsat (March 2017);both events will be taking place in the UAE.

Various forms (and new applications) ofcabling technology can be seen at general-purpose power events such as Middle EastElectricity (14-16 February 2017, also inDubai). More specialised events include thesecond edition of W&C Arabia, next year.

In date order, other related exhibitionsbeing held further afield include W&CGuangzhou in China (Canton, 6-8 June2016), Wire China (26-29 October,Shanghai), and the International C&WProduction Exhibition, held as part of KoreaMetal Week (19-22 October).

Next year, Cabex is being held in Moscowin March, along with Wire Russia in May,and Wire SE Asia from 19-21 September(Bangkok). The really big internationalevents forthcoming will be Milwaukee’sElectrical Wire Processing Technology Expo(May 2017), along with and always includinggeneral cabling Wire (Dusseldorf, April 2018– despite its concise title probably thelargest international wire and cablegathering anywhere).

More specialised still and along the linesof Cabsat in Dubai (normally held in March)will be the next Broadcast India trade showwhich will take place in Mumbai from 20-21October this year.

Some of the world’s most up-to-date wire and cable suppliers now operate here in the Gulf. We guide readers as towhere to see the latest products and applications.

UsinG CMC testinG devices with Test Universe softwareis an established method for testing distributedprotection systems. However, as soon as more than two

distributed protection devices are involved, the test can quicklybecome complex.

Omicron joined forces with Austrian power utility Illwerke AG toperform an initial field test of RelaySimTest – its new softwarespecifically developed for convenient testing of distributedprotection systems.

Illwerke AG operates multiple hydro power plants in Vorarlberg,Austria. Scheduled generator maintenance work made it possibleto perform thorough testing of the three-terminal circuit of a 220kV overhead line between two hydropower plants and a substation.

A Siemens 7SD523 line differential protection relay is installedon each of the three ends. A distance protection, which only trips

with a certain delay time, is parameterised for faults beyond theprimary protection area. CMC testing devices were connected toall three relays.

underground satellite signalsOne of the protection relays was located in the eighth undergroundlevel below rock, meaning that it would have been impossible tosynchronise the CMCs via GPS using any receivers currentlyavailable. Thanks to the newly developed CMGPS 588, however, itwas also possible to use the IEEE 1588 Precision Time Protocol(PTP) by laying an 80 m network cable down to the undergroundtesting device. With this setup a connection to the GPS satelliteswas successfully established just a short time after connecting thetesting device.

no calculator requiredA major challenge when testing protection systems with more thantwo ends lies in the mathematics involved. The test quantities to beused have to be calculated for each end, and then transferred to thetesting software without any errors.

RelaySimTest (figure 1) performs all the calculations necessary forthe test automatically. During these calculations, currents andvoltages for all ends are created directly as transient signals in thesoftware for time-synchronised injection.

Cut off from the outside worldWhen the test location is as remote as the protection relay in theeighth underground level of the Rodundwerk II plant (figure 2),communication between test engineers is another issue that needsto be addressed. Unfortunately, mobile phones were only of limiteduse for communication between the three testing teams in this case.

Thomas Hensler, product manager RelaySimTest at Omicron, discusses the automated testing of distributedprotection systems via the Internet.

40 Automated Testing


The protection system proved to be fully functional

and the generator could bereconnected to the grid.


Figure 1: RelaySimTest during testing at Illwerke AG. Even considerably morecomplex networks are easy to model using the integrated editor.

Figure 2: A GPS signal is used to synchronise distributed testing systems. In theRodundwerk II plant, this synchronisation signal has to be laid 80 m down into the rock.


This is where RelaySimTest really shines: The previouslymentioned transient signals for the synchronised test are calculatedat a central location, forwarded to the remote ends (figure 3), andthen automatically started. The teams at the remote locations nolonger have to interact in the testing process itself.

In other words, RelaySimTest coordinates the entire testingprocedure from just one PC (figure 4).

internet-based testing equipmentAll that RelaySimTest requires in order to perform this coordinationis an Internet connection. The remote units are then added ascloud devices.

In addition to GPS (figure 5), an outdoor UMTS connection wasestablished at the Rodundwerk II plant in this specific case. Withthis UMTS connection and an additional 80 m network cable thetesting device was granted access via a router to the Internet, andthereby to the other testing devices.

The subsequent testing procedure was convenient and easy to perform. In an initial test, which simulated simultaneous

switching of various load conditions, the differential protection didnot trip, indicating that the time-synchronised infeed was bothprecise and stable.

Familiar proceduresIn terms of handling, the test with distributed injections was nodifferent than a local test. It was possible to model as many testcases as desired and then execute these immediately.

For example, the relay tripped instantaneously in the case offaults on the three-terminal line.

Entire series of shots with varying parameters, such as faultlocation or fault type, can be created quickly, as well as executed automatically.

Here, the first shot often supplies data that can be used as thebasis for making spontaneous changes.

successful conclusionThe protection system used by Illwerke AG proved to be fullyfunctional, and the generator could be reconnected to the gridonce the maintenance work was complete.

Since the whole process was so easy, there was also enough time to perform numerous additional tests – both internal andexternal faults were successfully simulated with more than 70shots in a single day.

41Automated Testing


A major challenge when testingprotection systems with more

than two ends lies in themathematics involved.

T he international trade fairfor print and cross-media solutions,‘drupa 2016’, to be held from 31

May – 10 June in Düsseldorf, Germany, willfeature a host of technologies in the graphicand industrial print as well as media andmulti-channel industry. Among these,functional printing is being eagerly awaited.Referred to as the “next wave in high-volume electronic production”, functionalprinting is quickly gathering attention and isbeing invested in by major companiesacross the world.

3D printing (printing technology used tobuild three-dimensional objects) falls underthe blanket of functional printing, althoughall 3D printing cannot be categorised underit. It has been referred to by different titles,such as additive manufacturing or solid free-form fabrication. Applications includelenicular lenses, sensors, QR and bar codesand even solar cells. The latest projects tobe highlighted at the event under functionalprinting include their impact on smart tags,smart sensors, flexible and washableconductive inks used in the textile industry,and the overall employment of various printtechnologies for ‘Internet of Things’.

The reason for its growing popularity isits ever-increasing applicability in themarket. The manufacturing process ofcomponents of pretty much any newgadget involves steps in functional printing.Initial applications have pushed theboundaries of functional printing.

Printed circuit boards (PCB) and flexibleantennas combining FM, TV, mobile, GPS inone antenna and used in automotive, gaverise to car radar systems for adaptive cruisecontrol. Near field communication (NFC)and RFID antennas are standard features inelectric devices, and the integration ofprinting in the manufacturing process

constantly improves their cost-efficiency.Even smartphones, for instance, containcapacitive switches, batteries, touch panelsand screens – making all of which isfacilitated now by a printing process thatefficiently replaces the expensive andhighly energy-consuming processes utilisedearlier. One of the recent Audi TT brochuresreportedly included printed controls which,after aligning with the smartphone on theright spot, turned the page into acontrollable experience of the new model’scockpit display.

Functional printing partners with anti-counterfeiting technologies and deliverscombinations of inks, coatings andsubstrates to create invisible markers.Security print is one of the most efficientand cost-attractive protections againstimitation, supposedly also offeringfingerprint recognition surfaces now.

The field is still in its nascent stage,however, and has a wide, unexplored world of possibilities in application, therfore creating plenty of room for marketplayers and creative developmentdimensions for printers, manufacturers andproduct designers.

Aiming to bring functionality to products, functional printing is gathering increasing attention worldwide as newusages surface in a variety of industries.

Middle East Electricity returns to Dubai with education high on the agenda

Middle east electricity returned todubai World trade centre in March foranother year of deals, networking andproduct launches. the 41st edition of theshow – a leading highlights of dubai’spacked trade exhibition calendar – sawclose to 1,500 companies from 64countries exhibiting, with His Highnesssheikh Mohammed bin rashid alMaktoum, Vice-President and PrimeMinister and ruler of dubai, visiting theexhibition this year to reviewdevelopments in the electricity and solarenergy sector, especially with regard toclean energy.

according to informa exhibitions,organisers of the annual power industryshowcase, the ruler of dubai welcomedthe fact that many countries from acrossthe world, including the Uae, are movingtowards producing clean energy to protectthe environment from pollution, preservehuman health, and reduce the high costsof conventional electricity, especially incountries like the Uae, where establishingefficient solar power stations is possible.He also commended the giant solar

station projects being implemented in thisvital sector, particularly in abu dhabi anddubai, which are expected to increase theamount of electricity being generated inthe country over the next few years.

co-located exhibition and conference,solar Middle east, also returned this yearpresenting the very best in innovativetechnologies and equipment within thesolar power sector.

With an estimated Us$416bn requiredto meet the growing requirements ofpower consumption in the MeNa regionduring the 2016 -2020 period, according toa study by arab Petroleum investmentcorporation (apicorp), opportunities wereaplenty at dubai World trade centre thisyear – a fact confirmed by yet anotherpacked exhibition floor throughout thetrade show.

as usual, a raft of product launches tookplace, including FPt industrial, wholaunched two new G-drives at the event,extending its range of power generationsolutions to now support applicationsfrom 31 kW to 582 kW. the new cursor 16provides up to 582 kW and enlarges the

company’s portfolio at the top end of itspower range, while the s8000 aims tosatisfy lower power requirements with anoutput of up to 36 kW.

ducab used the trade show platform toannounce the launch of its 2016PowerOverFire campaign with the ducabtruck in partnership with Uae civildefence. ducab ran a number of seminarsthroughout the event to educate theindustry on the most up to dateregulations and industry approved cabling.

Originally launched in 2013, ducab’sPowerOverFire mobile roadshow travelsthroughout the Uae, distributinginformation to the general public, dealers and retailers in the electricalproduct supply chain.

elsewhere, the British approvals servicefor cables (Basec) spoke to local cablemanufacturers about the forthcomingconstruction Products regulation (cPr)marking for fire performance cablesupplied to european markets with whichthey will have to comply when it isimplemented in July 2016 beforebecoming mandatory next year.

speaking about the factors leading tothe growth of automated solutions forelectrical distribution systems, lucyelectric has maintained that across theMiddle east region it witnessing risingdemand for electricity for both businessand domestic use as a result of populationgrowth, urbanisation and sustainedeconomic development.

However, alongside the growth in theconnectivity of renewable sources, it ispresenting distribution network operatorswith a number of challenges. sellick notedthat establishing a stable, reliable andhigh-performance electrical distributionnetwork would prove to be vital if utilitiesare to meet growing residential andbusiness needs, while powering newindustrial developments.

“as a result we are seeing an increasingnumber of companies investing inautomation and smart grid projects tohelp realise efficiencies across thenetwork, improve network capacity andquality of supply and help future proofthe infrastructure.”

according to the sales director, there isgreat potential for high volumes ofphotovoltaic solar energy generation inthe region, which could really push therole of renewables, but currently there isnot a financially viable energy storagesystem, which is needed for this to be aprimary source of generation. at present,battery storage at the scale required isvery expensive, so what is needed is a

technology that will enable cost effectiveand scalable energy storage – this wouldreally help to unlock the drive towardsgreater renewable power generation.

revealing plans about current andupcoming projects lucy electric is involvedin the Middle east region, sellick said thatthe company was anticipating continuedgrowth across the MeNa region,particularly in infrastructure investmentand automation projects. this presentsmany opportunities for lucy electric togrow its business and continue developingand implementing automation solutionsto help its customers address the changingneeds of the market. “We have stronggrowth ambitions for our business acrossthe Middle east and sub-saharan africa,which sits alongside our global growth andinvestment plans,” he said.

taking back rich experience from Mee2016, the executive added, “We have beenattending Mee for more than 15 years as itpresents the perfect opportunity toshowcase our products, services andleading expertise to one of our key growthmarkets, and as with previous years, Mee2016 was a fantastic experience.

“Our two-tiered stand enabled the lucyelectric team to speak directly with ourcustomers, existing and new, to discusssome of the challenges they are currentlyfacing, while also having the space todemonstrate some of our best-in-classproducts, services and solutions. We werepleased to welcome visitors outside of theMiddle east from as far away as australiaand Uruguay to our stand.”

lEaDiNG Global MaNuFaCturEr of alternators, CumminsGenerator technologies, revealed a new range of staMForDalternators targeted at the 7.5 to 62.5 kVa power range during MEE2016. the alternators will enable Cummins Generator technologiesto bring to market the most compact andlightweight industrial alternators of its kind,primarily aimed at the global standby market.

Designed for enhanced usability, the staMForDs0 and s1 alternators draw on the company’s 100years’ of experience of developing andmanufacturing high-performance and efficientpower generation technology. the range deliversproven reliability of more than 20,000 hours.

scott strudwick, director – global sales andmarketing at Cummins Generator technologies, said,“We recognise that reliability is a priority for the standbymarket, alongside the delivery of a product which isboth compact and lightweight.

“We have, therefore, worked with our customers to develop a technological solution that will support their long-term businessgrowth. our rigorous research and development process hasenabled us to deliver a product range which is durable, reliable and

easy to assemble,” he noted. “We wanted to address the lower end of the

power range and we took a ‘clean sheet ofpaper’ approach to the design.

“it’s a very competitive market and wewanted to address some key customer issuessuch as making sure it’s easy to install.

“in our tests, for example, the newproduct proved to be 20 per cent quicker to

couple to an engine, which is incrediblyimportant on a high-volume product like these

new alternators, where every minute you spendcoupling up and engine to an alternator ismoney,” strudwick added.

proof gensets, model IT-865, equippedwith an mTU Diesel engine, at 60 hZ.

Each genset has a panel integrated intothe chassis for island synchronisation withthe DSE 8610 control module tosynchronise both sets with each other,along with a shared external aTS panel forthe sets and the mains, which enables thesynchronous operation of both gensetswith the mains. The DSE 8660 controlmodule and two 2500a motorisedthermomagnetic circuit breakers are thecomponents of this aTS panel.

The sets can operate in two different wayswith this system —• As a backup: In the event of mains

failure, both sets will startsimultaneously, synchronise, and takeon the load. Depending on the loadrequired by the facility at any giventime, both sets will continue supplyingpower, or one will stop and the otherwill take on the full load untilconsumption is above a specific(programmable) threshold, at whichpoint the second set will start again,synchronise with the first set.

• To support excess energy demand: Forthis configuration, the gensets will startsimultaneously, synchronising witheach other and with the mains, to startsupplying power along with the mainswhen the facility’s energy demand ishigher than the supply availablethrough the mains.

Speaking about the genset industry, Jalilazdem, export area manager, middle Eastand asia Pacific, said the construction andmining sectors in africa are fuellingInmesol’s growth in the two regions.Inmesol caters to gensets with a powerrange from 50 to 250kVa, and its biggestmarkets in the region include Saudiarabia, Qatar, UaE, oman, Kuwait, Jordan,Iran and Bahrain.

From 1-3 march, Inmesol participated atthe region’s largest power show — middleEast Electricity — displaying its four gensetsfrom different product lines and equippedwith a variety of engines.

The rental product line consisted of 66kVaLTP genset, model IIr-066, soundproof,equipped with FPT-IVEco engine; the standbyproduct line was an open genset, model aK-22, equipped with 22kVa LTP Kohler engine;the industrial product line was a soundproof

genset equipped with 22kVa Perkins engine,with automatic without aTS panel, model IP-022; and the soundproof range included110kVa LTP genset equiped with Volvo engine,automatic panel without aTS, model IV-165.

Inmesol also specialises in parallel gensets.This system has been specifically designed fora hospital located in the Dominican republic,an area where the existing mains experienceenergy demand peaks exceeding theircapacity. There are two 900kVa LTP sound

Ducab, the uae-baseD manufacturer ofhigh-quality cables and cabling products,announced the launch of thePowerOverFire campaign for 2016 with theDucab truck, in partnership with Dubai civilDefence, at Middle east electricity 2016.

the aim of the campaign is to educatethe industry, both locally andinternationally, on the most up-to-dateregulations and industry approved cabling.

ashish chaturvedy, marketing managerat Ducab, spoke with Technical Reviewabout this initiative.

“the idea is to address the market from aleadership perspective rather than to pushfor our products. so there is a corporatesocial responsibility element involvedaround the campaign in that we are trying

to leave a safety message in the viewers’subconscious mind. therefore, when theyare next in their buying cycle, and it islargely meant for people in the electricalbusiness, they think of Ducab. Meanwhile,we are also promoting fire performancecables FlambIcc, in particular.”

chaturvedy reiterated that the campaignalso focuses at trying to reach those whomay not be buying for another three to 12months. however, whenever they areready for their next purchase of fireperformance cables, emergency systems,lighting systems or elevator shafts, whichall relate to emergency and rescue in caseof a fire, they are likely to be predisposedtowards Ducab.

For the campaign, Ducab created a 40-

foot container with a classroom setting andshowed a number of technical videos ongeneral fire testing. there were Ducabcables on show as well as othermanufacturers’ cables. the message was toreach out to certified cable companies andto beware of cheap products. there werealso touchscreen kiosks giving generalinformation on on how to safeguard housesand installations.

chaturvedy noted, “It’s all aboutsafeguarding your family. I need to be sure,while at my workplace, that the wires andcables attached to household appliancesback home, where my child is, are safe.”

he added that, from the logistics point ofview, the truck can be parked in placeswhere visitors are not necessarily from anelectrical background but may need moreawareness about fire safety. It is all aboutmaking the community safe, he stressed.

“We have messages onboard fromDeWa, eMsa, Dubai customs and others topromote fire safe measures in the uae.”

the campaign truck is set to travel tosharjah, abu Dhabi and Fujairah in the nextthree months, thereafter covering otherMiddle east countries such as Oman, Qatar,bahrain and Kuwait.

sauDI aRabIa-baseD Middle eastspecialized cables (Mesc), the leadinginstrumentation and special cablesmanufacturer in the Middle east, was atMiddle east electricity 2016 in Dubai whereit was showcasing its special cables forutilities and the transportation sector, aswell as fire-resistant cables.

according to ceO eng. aiman I al-Masri,Mesc will soon be launching signallingcables for the transportation industry. thereare no manufacturers in the Middle east forsuch types of cables, he reiterated.

“With the current scenario in the market,no one can deny that there is a slightslowdown and I think all cablemanufacturers, including Mesc, are lookingto diversify and find opportunities in thecurrent scenario. It is not too hard focussingon speciality cables that distinguishes you asone-of-a-kind,” he said.

talking about the biggest markets thatinclude saudi arabia, Kuwait and the uae,al-Masri notes that with the niche productsthat company is looking to expand its

product range in the near future, whichincludes acquiring international clientele.

the ceO also revealed that Mesc has astrong R&D backbone. “We dedicate a goodamount of income into R&D. since ourinception, we have specialised in our ownproducts and we would like to continue that.that is why we continue to invest in the R&Dand we treat it as a business line.”

With regards to expansion plans, al-Masrirevealed that with current environmentwhere Mesc expects competition to grow,all manufacturers, and not just cablemanufacturers will seek additional cost-

saving and increases in efficiency so thatthey are also fit for such an environment.“We are, therefore, not looking atexpansions now. there are some positivesigns like the power and utility segmentwhere the big demand is. another sectorthat we see growing into is transportation.”

the company is currently involved in lot ofcommunications and transport sector,besides oil and gas. In Kuwait, Mesc dealswith a number of project and deliveries –specially related to refineries.

“With the competition around us,especially in saudi arabia, the uae andJordan, we are always geared towardssatisfying our customers. We are looking formore efficiency and more customer-specificrequirements that will give our clients’applications a competitive edge. as I alwaysstress that we consider this scenario as achallenge to build a whole new business inthe region, this is an opportunity for us toimprove processes. and of course, we willcontinue to spend more time into on R&D tosee what more we can do,” al-Masri noted.

PaNasONIc’s GLObaL ecO solutions business is targeting 20 percent growth over the next two years, a large part of which isexpected from Middle east & africa (Mea), according to a companyofficial. the target was revealed at Middle east electricity this yearwhere the Japanese company was exhibiting its range of energy,lighting and indoor air quality solutions

In terms of its business activities, wiring devices and fans continueto be Panasonic’s foundations, but new and challenging arenas inMea are forecasted to be solar ePc and professional LeD fixtures.

“Panasonic’s acquisition of turkey-based electrical materialsproducer Viko in 2014 has also been a part of this strategy. We arealready the market leader of the electrical switch and socketbusiness in asia and have targeted to become number one in theworld by 2018, which will mark the 100th anniversary of Panasonic’sfoundation,” said tatsuya Kumazawa, Panasonic Marketing Middleeast & africa (PMMaF) director of the eco solutions division.

Further penetration into the market will be the focus of creatingnew businesses by developing competitive products for eachmarket. Future plans include leveraging free trade agreement (Fta)and establishing local production sites.

While indoor air quality solutions look at keeping the innovationmomentum running by introducing products using the latesttechnologies, Panasonic’s eco solutions division will target the Meamarket by introducing a whole range of water pumps – in line withlocal governments’ strategy of improving water distribution systems.another area of extreme importance, according to Panasonic, issolar panels. Many Mea countries namely the uae, egypt, Morocco,Jordan and saudi arabia, have made forays into large-scale solarpower programmes, Kumazawa noted.

HIMOINSA dISplAyed ItS ranges of specialised gas and dieselgensets for Middle east and the Africa markets at Middle eastelectricity in dubai.

the gas-powered gensets with built-in lpG tanks for the rentalmarket are namely HRGp 25 t5, HRGp 40 t5 and HRGp 60 t5,offering power ratings of 25, 40 and 60 KVA continuous power.

According to HIMOINSA, this new version incorporates rentallpG storage necessary to ensure no requirement of refuellingfor 24 hours. It has an added possibility of connecting anexternal reservoir to increase its autonomy as much as desired.

the manufacturer also introduced generator sets with 1,000-hour service interval and 1,000 l fuel tank. the gensets withyanmar engines can now include a special kit that allows forlonger maintenance intervals up to 1,000 hours.

Speaking with Technical Review Middle East about thecompany’s progress in the Middle east region, HIMOINSAMiddle east general manager Keith Webb said, “the market isneither negative nor positive. I would say that most clients arecautious about spending their money on products and projects.Budgets are carefully managed.

“But with Iran coming on-stream and international banksfacilitating exports there, it will be a good revenue boost. Wealready have some presence in that country.”

However, talking about other markets in the region, Webbspecifically mentioned that HIMOINSA is seeing a slowdown inSaudi Arabia. He owes it to the construction sector there. “Weneed to make distinction in how we sell power to constructioncompanies. power is important and we all need it. Where we

see a huge demand now is the rental market for constructionsector. We can safely say that we are still making sales there.”

Noting Webb’s concern, Guillermo elum, sales and marketingdirector, HIMOINSA, said that even when the company is feelingthe heat because of oil prices as governments are delayingsome of the projects and lesser budgets, the genset industry isless affected by the slowdown in economy. “power meanssecurity, power means working. Companies are not only lookingat their CApeX but also their OpeX. If you control cost now, youwon’t pay the price later.”

Regarding Mee, Webb saidthat for HIMOINSA, the eventwas great as it had seenquality, as well as importantexhibitors and visitors atthe show. “Quality, andnot quantity, matters,”he noted.

the company alsorecently participated atbauma in Germany, where it showcased generating sets and lighting towers –the first to be poweredby lpG cylinders byHIMOINSA for the constructionindustry.

AustriAn cAble testing andmeasurement technologycompany bAur gmbH was atMee 2016 showcasing itsexpertise and experience tovisitors and fellow exhibitors.

speaking to Technical Review,bAur gmbH international salesmanager gerhard reimann said,“We have been in the gulf regionfor many years and our maincustomers here are the utilitiesthroughout the region.

“these big utilities are the mainusers of our products, becausethey need to make sure that theircable networks are in a healthycondition. if there are faults, theyneed to find and rectify themquickly, and for this they can useour technology and services.”

the company’s big sellers in theMiddle east region, said reimann,include its diagnostic test vans, aswell as the cable fault finding andVFl cable testing equipment.

“the latest thing we have beendoing for cable diagnostics is a

preventive diagnostics to seewhat you have to expect from thecable network and how you canreact quickly to any unexpectedfaults. this is done by loss-factormeasurements and partialdischarge measurements,”reimann explained.

the company has worked withlarge utilities, such as DeWA inDubai, and the Middle eastaccounts for approximately 20 percent of its total global business.

“All of our products are used onsite and environmental conditionsin this region can prove to be verychallenging,” reimann continued.“Your equipment must be reallyrobust and must be designed towithstand these tough conditions.You also have to provide trainingand after-sales assistance.”

With each contract signed withits customers, bAur offerstraining that can last for up toseveral weeks, which is typicallydivided into two types of training– basic operational training, which

take place at the company’sfacilities in Austria, and on-sitepractical training out in the fieldon its customers’ sites.

“the gcc countries are, ofcourse, a core focus for us, butwe’re also working in the northAfrican region, and worldwidewe’re sending our products tomore than 100 countries,”reimann noted.

earlier this year, bAurexpanded the range of equipmentavailable for its new, fully-automatic cable test van, ‘titron’.the new equipment helps toprovide quick cable diagnostics, aswell as improved and non-destructive location of cable faults.

With the partial dischargemeasurement and dissipationfactor measurement (tan δ), titronnow offers various cablediagnostics options. All testingand diagnostics functions can nowbe effectively be managed via thecentral software of the cable testvan. With the new “remote App”

The populaTion of Zahle, the capital of lebanon’s Bekaa region andthe country’s fourth largest city, has seen a boost to its economy overthe past year thanks to support from aggreko, the world leader inmodular, mobile power and temperature control solutions.

last year, aggreko reached an agreement with electricite de Zahle(eDZ) to supply 45MW of power in the city for two years. a growingnumber of investors have now established factories in the city, whichhas resulted in new jobs being created, and with more people movingto the area for work, the housing industry has also benefited.

previously, the 60,000 households in Zahle and neighbouringvillages would receive as little as six hours of electricity per day as wellas intermittent water. By providing power around the clock fromaggreko plant, eDZ with its well-developed distribution networks hasgiven local residents reliable electricity. Street lighting is also nowprovided every night offering additional safety to residents, and as allpumping stations receive 24 hour power, water shortages are alsonow a thing of the past.

aggreko general manager Bill Kearns said, “it has been 42 years sinceZahle last had reliable, round the clock power and aggreko is delightedto be the first company to provide 24/7 power to eDZ for itsconcession. our tier 3 engines offer low emissions and once theyarrived in the country we were able to deliver power within 22 days.

“it has been particularly pleasing to hear the benefits our powergeneration has brought to Zahle and the surrounding area. We are alsocommitted to leaving a lasting legacy to the region as part of the

project and we are developing local talent, with 12 of our ownengineers working to train 13 local lebanese crew.”

eDZ Ceo assad nakad said, “My dream to provide Zahle and theneighbourhood villages with clean and continuous power has cometrue by partnering with aggreko. This allows eDZ to provide not onlypower to the people, but has enabled us to have an integratedeconomic circle, which is fundamental. power generated by aggrekoand supplied by eDZ, allows for factories to operate uninterruptedlyand alleviate unemployment in the region. it also stops the youngergeneration migrating to other larger cities of lebanon and so retainsthe talent in the region.”

a key component of the project is aggreko’s use of its SCaDamonitoring system, which allows for on-site and office monitoring atany given time by the customer.

In 2015, Aggreko reached an agreement with Electricite deZahle (EDZ) to supply 45MW for two years to the city of Zahle.

In this regards, we have twotypes of support that we receive,commercial support and technicaleducational support.

The commercial support is utilised by thesubsidy of the governments representingthe pavilions in order to promote andsupport SMEs in their foreign overseasexports. Our role is to ensure that thosemanufacturers are meetings with theircounterparts during Project Qatar. In thisregards, we have introduced the dedicatedB2B platform that matches the profiles ofthe supplier with that of the buyer to havesecured and guaranteed pre-arrangedmeetings. On the other hand, the technicaleducation support and front is utilised bybringing specialist and technical speakersfor example from the Middle East FacilityAssociation (MFMA) and the GulfOrganization for Industrial Consulting(GOIC) to aid our audience base in theirprofessional development path.

Being supported by more than 30supporting bodies gives the event anelement of international standard.Reaching a high international standard issomething which we believe in at ProjectQatar and this is why we have partneredwith ASTM International, one of the leadersin world of standard setting.

TRME: What have been the key markettrends that have changed since ProjectQatar’s inception 13 years ago?RS: Qatar’s economic ascent of recent yearshas few parallels. Large financial dividends

have followed from Qatar’s investments inoil and gas, and its macroeconomicachievements have been impressive. Since2000, Qatar has grown faster than anyother economy, and it now ranks amongthe top flight of countries in terms of its percapita income. To meet the needs of agrowing economy and larger population,Qatar has spent enormously on expandingand upgrading economic and socialinfrastructure, this has catapulted Qatar tothe world stage as the hottest market forinvestment. The massive nationwideprogramme of investment has resulted in aboost of nearly all domestic sectors in theQatari market. This could not be moredifferent from 13 years ago, when ProjectQatar initially started. Now Qatar is one ofthe most sought after investment hotspotsaround the globe.

With regards to construction trends, dueto the phases of preparation now,infrastructure projects such as roads,bridges are well underway and we aremoving to the phase of facility building suchas schools, hotels and others. The phase ofconstruction we are in directly affects thetrends as the products and services in eachphase are different.

TRME: Knowledge exchange is always acore part of Project Qatar’s conferenceoffering. Can you tell us about theadditions to this year’s programme andhow the various conferences can help tobenefit delegates and their understandingof Qatar’s construction markets?RS: The conference series offering iscreated as an answer to the demand forspecialist, interactive insights in to thechallenges and opportunities facingcompanies within Project Qatar's productand services profiles. These are the topicsare the hot topics of the constructionindustry and by attending the conferencedelegates will be able to keep abreast of thelatest trends and benefit from hearing fromleading specialists from each field.

Project Qatar 2016 will host sixspecialised conferences throughout theyear, including two conferences same timeas the show: The 3rd Annual LightingTechQatar (9-10 May, 2016), The 2nd AnnualFuture BIM Implementation Qatar (11-12May, 2016), The 1st Annual Smart ParkingQatar (18-19 April, 2016), The 3rd AnnualFuture Interiors Qatar (5-6 September,2016), The 3rd Annual Future Landscape &Public Realm Qatar (24-25 October, 2016),The 3rd Annual Future Drainage NetworksQatar (December 5-6, 2016).

TRME: Last year saw the addition of newcountry pavilions. How many countrypavilions will we see this year and whatrole do these country pavilions play inoffering additional benefit to visitors atthe show?RS: We are blessed and thankful to haverecurring pavilions at Project Qatar due tothe increasing trend in the constructionindustry. The international participation and its sales dynamics differ from year toyear as pavilions are subsidised bygovernments and as such have a long-termstrategy. This is why we have some pavilionscoming every year, while others participateon a year-on, year-off basis. As of today, wehave confirmed participations fromBelgium, Bulgaria, China, the CzechRepublic, Egypt, Greece, Germany, India,Italy, Kuwait, Korea, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan,Poland, Romania, Spain, Taiwan, Turkey, theUAE and the UK.

THe SixTH eDiTioN of The Big 5Saudi provided a platform forexhibitors to showcase their latest

construction technologies, products andservices to buyers seeking to take advantageof opportunities within Saudi Arabia’sUS$700bn construction industry.

The trade show, believed to be the fastest-growing construction event in the Kingdom,took place from 7-10 March 2016, bringingtogether more than 500 exhibitors from morethan 30 countries.

Major ongoing infrastructure projects andupcoming mega projects such as plannedmetro works and health facilities investments,helped to attract a diverse crowd ofconstruction professionals to Jeddah lookingto make the most of the country’sconstruction market potential.

Jeddah Mayor Hani Abu Ras, whoinaugurated this year’s event, joined manyvisitors in noting the large number of regionaland international companies exhibiting.

“The Big 5 Saudi is one of the largestexhibitions that we make sure we attend,”said Fahad Al-Hossaini from 2016 exhibitor Al-Omran Group. “The construction and buildingmaterial industry in Saudi Arabia is boomingand this exhibition is proof of that.”

Other features at The Big 5 Saudi 2016included a dedicated Concrete Zone, anoutdoor PMV Zone and a strong educationalagenda at the supporting conference.

Specialist knowledgeOn display on the show floor were a selectionof innovative technologies and solutions,some unique to the Saudi Arabian market.

Nathan Waugh, portfolio director at dmgevents, organiser of The Big 5 Saudi,commented, “Some of these technologiesare being seen in Saudi Arabia for the firsttime. [The event] is a great opportunity forvisitors to see what new constructionproducts and technologies are available thatcould give them a vital competitive edge intheir next project.”

The four-day event took place at JeddahCentre for Forums & Events attractingconstruction professionals keen to stay on topof industry developments within theKingdom. Describing the constructionindustry in Saudi Arabia as “dynamic” and an“increasingly competitive” job market, Waughnoted, “We’re delighted to have been able tooffer visitors the chance to top up theirknowledge, while having access to the latestinternational and local construction productsand technologies.”

A key feature at this year’s event was anumber of certified educational workshopsand seminars that were free for visitors toattend. The introduction of Saudi FIDIC was among leading topics on the educationalagenda, held during a time that the regulatoryenvironment in Saudi Arabia is evolving.

Andrew Jones, partner and head ofconstruction – Middle East at Dentons, theglobal law firm that led discussions on FIDICcontracts at the supporting conference, saidof the compliant system, “Historically, therehas been a concern that in order to work onstate-sponsored projects, in particular,contractors will need to sign up tounfavourable terms. Adopting a localisedversion of the FIDIC contracts will encourage

parties to review and negotiate the terms andhopefully provide contractors with morecomfort regarding their contractual rights andtheir risk profile.”

Other topics explored during theeducational platform at the show wassustainable design and construction asprojects in Saudi Arabia begin to look to saveenergy, conserve water and deploy renewableenergy sources.

“Most of the challenges we face are a lack ofproper knowledge of green design andconstruction,” said Eng. Omar Mohamed Al-Touqi, technical manager at King AbdulazizUniversity Projects. “People are not awarethat there are a lot of activities to be done forany green design for it to be in accordancewith LEED. The other challenge is the initialcost of the green design and construction, andchoosing the right material and resources.”

First-time exhibitorsThe event attracted more than 1,200construction industry specialists to Jeddahand among the companies participating inThe Big 5 Saudi exhibition for the first timewas adhesives and chemical productsmanufacturer Mapei.

Stefano Iannacone, managing director ofMapei Construction Chemicals, remarked,“We believe the Saudi market has enormousbusiness potential and we’ve already beeninvolved in large projects in Saudi Arabia, suchas the Riyadh Metro, the Clock Tower inMecca, the extension of the mosque inMedina and several shopping malls andresidential projects, and we plan to open afacility in the country soon.

“These are obviously demanding times forSaudi Arabia, but the construction marketremains resilient despite the impact of low oilprices. I see the country pushing ahead withits investment plans in the sector, and we areseeking to strengthen our foothold andincrease presence here.”

The Big 5 Saudi will return to Jeddah for itsseventh edition on 27-30 March 2017.

Equipment manufacturers and suppliers were given a useful platform to search for opportunities and present theirsolutions to Saudi Arabia’s bustling construction market at this year’s Big 5 Saudi.

Terex PorT SoluTionS (TPS) hasintroduced a new variant of its diesel-electric Terex Gottwald Model 8 mobileharbour crane.

Targeting the increasing demand fromterminal operators for cargo-handlingmachines for loading and unloading vesselswith a loading capacity of more than 8,800standard containers, TPS has said that the GHMK 8412 crane offers terminal operators acost-effective handling solution.

The new variant has been designed forterminal operators that require mobilelarge-sized cranes with the ability to handle20 container rows across and up to ninecontainers stacked on the vessel’s deck.

The latest new development from TPS isbased on the existing Model 8 G HMK 8410two-rope crane variant from the Generation5 Terex Gottwald crane modular system.

TPS vice-president – engineering, systemsand automation, Dr. Mathias Dobner, said,“our mobile harbour crane range of thecurrent Generation 5 includes three cranefamilies and eight crane models, rangingfrom the entry to the high-performancecrane for all types of terminals, applicationsand vessels.

“With the new G HMK 8412 crane, we aredemonstrating once again how quickly we

are able to develop machines on the basisof our modular design principle to meetrapidly changing market conditionsincluding the need to serve new types ofvessels and ready them for the market.”

Compared to the present variant, thenew G HMK 8412 has a higher tower with acorrespondingly higher boom pivot pointand a tower cab featuring a crane operatoreye level of 43 m.

The maximum outreach of the crane hasbeen extended by 3 m compared to the GHMK 8410 and comes to 61 m. The crane

has a particularly powerful lifting capacitycurve, offering terminal operators 24 percent greater capacity in the end range of itsoutreach, which means a lifting capacity of50 tonnes even at maximum radius.

The crane, with a lifting capacity of 41tonnes under spreader, is capable of servingthree container bays next to each other,even in the 20th row, without having to betravelled alongside the vessel.

As with the majority of Terex Gottwaldcranes, the G HMK 8412 is fitted with state-of-the-art three-phase drive technologythat provides greater benefits for operatorswith regard to upkeep and maintenance.

The travel gear of the G HMK 8412includes a total of four 3-axle arrangementswith a distance of 1,650 mm from axlecentre to axle centre. in addition, thedistance between one 3-axle arrangementand the next has been increased by 1,000mm from 1,650 mm to 2,650 mm,improving how the load is distributed toindividual fields of the quay structure.

The propping system of the crane consistsof the Terex Gottwald H-shaped stabilisersystem with a propping base of 13 m x 15 m.When the crane is propped, four 2 m x 6.5 mstabiliser pads distribute the weight of thecrane and cargo to the quay structure.

KoCoS MeSSTeCHniK AG has introduced two compact, battery-operated devices that can measure resistance in the micro-ohmrange.

For the purpose of measuring resistance in the micro-ohmrange, KoCoS Messtechnik AG now offers two compact, battery-operated measuring devices, which feature a configurable,load-independent test current up to 200 A – Promet Se andPromet SMo.

Flexible handling with battery operation and the highfunctionality and precision make these measuring devices

particularly suitable for portable use in switching stations orindustrial environments. The device also uses ‘four-wire’measuring technology that supposedly enable the easuringdevices to meet stringent accuracy requirements.

The device measures resistances with temperaturecompensation. The temperature at the measurement point ismeasured using a sensor and the resistance value is calculated forthe reference temperature.

Promet SMo is also claimed to be capable of measuring theresistance of inductive loads up to 1,000 henrys, such as HV, MVand lV transformers, motors and instrument transformers, forexample. A special algorithm ensures that inductive loads arecharged and discharged quickly, keeping measurement timesshort. The two voltage measurement inputs, the quality ofconnections such as screws on busbars can be determined quicklyusing the quality factor on the Se device.

Both measuring devices can be operated and controlled bymeans of a built-in control panel equipped with a high-resolution,resistive three and a half inches touch screen and function keys orin combination with an ACTAS switchgear test system. using theACTAS testing software, these measuring systems easily beintegrated in circuit breaker tests.

it is possible to evaluate the results, which give a directindication of the state of the current paths of busbars, the contactresistance of switchgear devices or earth connections. Theintegrated measurement functions provide informative analysisto help maximise operating times and minimise maintenancework.

LG has been creating friendlysolutions in this space by producing highperformance inverters and its Multi V IVTropical is, the company states, the latestand the most efficient VRF system around.

The Multi V IV Tropical has been designedto suit the extreme outdoor temperatureconditions of the GCC market and with itsadvantage of a wide operational range theunit exceeds the market needs of high-energy efficiency and environmentalfriendliness. LG says the unit can cool attemperatures as high as 54°C. The newmodel is energy efficient, and built withthe customer in mind. enabled with LG’slatest proprietary compressor, refrigerant,heat exchanger and oil controltechnologies, LG says that advancementsin these key areas of VRF technology hasallowed the Multi V IV Tropical to performeffectively in the most challengingenvironmental conditions.

Green solutionIn terms of energy-efficient airconditioning products, GCC countries havewitnessed a growing number ofregulations, which will result in higherinitial costs but will also reduce energy

consumption by up to 40 per cent in thelong term.

In the uae, the emirates authority forstandardization and Metrology (esMa) hasissued standard uae s 5010-5:2014 coveringMePs for ductless room air conditioners toraise minimum energy efficiencyrequirements. This translates into thepotential for high savings given that airconditioning consumes almost 20-30 percent of the electricity used in a buildingwithin the region. Previously chillers weremore common, but in recent years, thenumber of green buildings constructed inthe region has been rising, which is upliftingdemand for high-efficiency variablerefrigerant flow (VRF) systems.

Built for business Commercial properties are looking forsolutions that powerfully and silently run inthe background. The Multi IV Tropical’soutdoor units have been powered withseveral automated features to ensure

a smooth experience and less chance ofbreakdowns, including an alternate cyclingfunction that extends the life span ofcompressors by operating themalternatively increasing the shelf life.

In support, the auto-addressing featureallows system integrators to manage theunits at a press of a button. In parallel, theautomatic back-up systems are built fortrouble shooting during emergencies.

Finally, they have a generally lower noisein comparison to competitors due to itssilent operation feature. To further saveenergy, the Multi V IV Tropical has a nightsilent operation that runs automatically inthe background.

innovative technologyLG has fitted the Multi V IV Tropical withhiPoRTM and special corrosion resistantadvancements. This proprietary hiPoRTM

technology enables the compressor toreturn the oil directly to a high level ofpressure instead of the low levels onconventional aC units.

By minimising unnecessaryrecompressing in the lower pressure level,hiPoRTM reduces energy losses andincreases CoP levels by up to three per cent.

It has also been specially treated to resistcorrosion to make it exceptionally durableand a cool long lasting experience. This isdone through: ocean black fin and dualprotection coating.

LG’s exclusive ‘ocean black fin’ heatexchanger is designed to perform even inextremely corrosive environments. Theblack coating provides strong protectionfrom corrosion and the hydrophilic coatingminimises moisture build-up on the fin.

The dual protection coating shield corecomponents from corrosive elements withtwo levels of protection: double layeredcoating and double sided coating. Theprotected components include the unit’souter panels, control box panel and cover,brackets and valve supports.

LG’s Multi V IV Tropical has been designed to work in the extreme outdoor temperature conditions of the GCC, as well asoffer high-energy efficiency and environmental benefits.

Conditioned for theheat of the GCC

The Multi V IV Tropical has been conditioned for the unique conditions of the GCC region.
