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

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

As a result, plastics conversion will be expanded beyond themain hubs of Dammam, Jeddah and Riyadh. According to energyand chemicals consultancy Nexant, about 90 per cent ofplastics conversion in Saudi Arabia takes place across fiveindustrial parks developed by government agency SaudiIndustrial Property Authority in Dammam 1, Dammam 2, Jeddah1, Jeddah 2 and Riyadh.

A new plastics parkhas also been creatednext to the Rabighpetrochemicalscomplex owned byPetro Rabigh, a jointventure between state-owned Saudi Aramcoand Japan’s SumitomoChemical. SaudiAramco also plans todevelop a plastics park.

THE COST OF living for expats living in the Middle East hasfallen, mainly because of slower price increases on goodsand services, a new survey by consulting firm Mercer found inits Worldwide Cost Of Living Survey 2012.

Jeddah continued to rank as the least expensive city forexpats among the Arabcities, placed at 186th positionglobally.

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

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

including transport, food, clothing, household goods andentertainment.

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

Recent world events, including economic and politicalupheavals, have changed the rankings for many regionsthrough currency fluctuations, inflation, and volatility inaccommodation prices.

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

LEBANON’S INDUSTRY Minister, Vreij Sabounjian, has called onLebanese industrialists to explore new markets recently to offsetthe impact of an anticipated economic recession.

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

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

Responding to questions by industrialists attending theconference, Sabounjian urged traders to report any forgerieswhich targeted Lebanese goods.

The minister also reiterated earlier criticism of some tradeagreements which hedeemed unfair toLebanon.

“How can Lebanon, acountry of four million,sign a fair [agreement]with Turkey, countrywith over 80mninhabitants?” he asked,in reference to a free-trade deal between thetwo countries.Vreij Sabounjian

Theseasonally adjusted indexremains well above the50.0 point mark separatinggrowth from contraction.This suggests businessconditions in the kingdom’snon-oil sector are resilientand buoyed by strongdomestic demand.Similarly, other leadingindicators such as July'sbanking data are pointingtowards an upwardmomentum. Government-influenced consumptionwill be the major driverhelped by wage andpensions hikes.

BBESSMA ALJARBOU, who heads the company’s MiddleEast business development activities, spoke toTechnical Review about the state of the solar industryin the area and outlined his strategy for introducing

its integrated solar system technologies on a much widerbasis.

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

In June, the company joined The King Abdullah University ofScience and Technology (KAUST) NEO testing anddemonstration programme in Saudi Arabia, an important stepenabling it to showcase its solar capabilities at the heart of akey area for their future development.

"Being the largest country, Saudi Arabia is naturally thelargest market for solar power in the region with a fast-growingenergy demand, and a government at present taking a veryhard, serious look at its energy and industrial profile," saidAljarbou.

First Solar is a leading global provider of comprehensivephotovoltaic (PV) solar systems and Aljarbou believes thatlarge-scale PV projects could really help the region meet itsrapidly escalating power demand.

"Large scale PV projects are perfect for the Middle East.Maintenance is simple and doesn’t require water. In a regionwith year-on-year rising demand for electricity, PV can bedeployed quickly and to any relatively flat location," saidAljarbou.

First Solar believes that PV offers major advantages. Beingcost competitive and quickly deployable is a considerableplus when dealing with soaring energy demand. Thin-filmphotovoltaic modules in particular perform well in hightemperature environments and can be deployed in regionswith high dust levels.

According to the Fraunhofer Institute, PV can go up to 30 percent of total capacity without any adjustments on controls andstorage.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

of generating solar electricity has reached competitive levelswhen compared with the true cost of oil-burning generationand peak gas generation.

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

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

The main hurdle to the uptake of solar power technology inthe region is the fact that energy costs are highly subsidisedto the point that the only entity feeling the pain of thesesubsidies may be the Ministry of Finance rather than thecontrollers of the market (i.e. the utilities and electricityregulators).

Although the Middle East region is moving in the right

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

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

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

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

“We have also shifted our strategy to focus on sustainablemarkets where the cost of generating solar power is, or soonwill be, competitive with existing or new conventional power.This is why the Middle East is a key focus within the

CFOS IN THE Middle East reported thehighest level of optimism during thesecond quarter of 2012, compared to 11other geographies surveyed, accordingto a Deloitte report.The Global CFO Signals reporthighlighted the results of a recent CFOsurvey conducted by Deloitte fromaround the globe, gauging attitudestowards the general economic outlook,financing, valuations and risk.Deloitte Middle East CFO programmeleader James Babb said, "Globally,pessimism amongst CFOs is growing,having increased from the first quarterof 2012."Continuing worries associated with theEurozone debt crisis, fears of potentialslowdowns in China and India, andrenewed concerns about the USeconomic situation have collided to makeCFOs rethink their positive vibes. Yet, themain exception out of the 11 geographiessurveyed is the Middle East, whereoptimism amongst CFOs is growing."According to the report, more than half ofCFOs in the region say they are optimisticabout their company’s prospects, butthat is down from 72 per cent in the firsthalf of 2011. Optimism in the Middle Eastis being bolstered by the higher price ofoil and market growth in the region. But political tensions in the region,coupled with the Eurozone crisis, arecausing some finance chiefs concern,with 74 per cent of them rating thegeneral level of external financial andeconomic uncertainty as either abovenormal or at a high level. Due to thislevel of uncertainty, when asked if it is

a good time to be taking greater riskwith their balance sheets, 72 per centof the respondents said “no”,according to the report.CFOs in the region continue to view risknegatively with 72 per cent saying now isnot the time to take more on, despite thefact that 60 per cent expect levels ofmergers and acquisitions (M&A) tosomewhat increase in the region, up from43 per cent in Q3 2011.

Priorities for the futureOver the next 12 months, CFOs arefocused on reducing costs and increasingcash flow. Disposing of assets and

capital expenditure and raisingdividends/share buybacks are not highpriorities. In fact, some 35 per cent of theCFOs expect free cash flow to increase byup to 10 per cent, primarily driven byincreasing revenues. The respondents are most likely to useexisting cash or operating cash flow tofund these transactions. However, only38 per cent of the CFOs would look intoacquiring in a new geographical region.This focus on potential acquisitionsstems from the view of almost 50 per centof CFOs that equity values are somewhatundervalued; 27 per cent believe they areat fair value.

EIGHT19, WHICH LAUNCHED its Indigo pay as you go personalsolar electricity system for offgrid communities in Kenya inSeptember 2011, has begun trials of fully printed plastic solarmodules in Africa.

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

Organic solar technology is so named because it is based onprimarily carbon-based materials rather than traditional silicon.The ambient temperature printing processes used to make themodules results in a flexible, robust device that has a fraction ofthe embedded energy of conventional solar modules.

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

The modified Indigo systems contain anonymous datalogging circuitry to monitor the electrical performance of thesolar modules in real use. Eight19 is working closely withleading chemical and materials suppliers, using this reaI worlddata to characterise the component parts of the new solarmodules and further develop the device performance inrealistic customer environments.

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

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

Simon BransfieldIGarth, Chief Executive Officer at Eight19said, “This is an important milestone for Eight19. The ability toincorporate leading edge printed solar modules in acommercial application and to feed back the results, not only toEight19 but also to our materials suppliers, will provideinvaluable data both for ourselves and for the industry, as wedevelop the new devices.”

Eight19’s organic solar modules are presently in thedevelopment phase and larger scale deployment is expected tobegin in early 2013.

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

SmartMobility projects achieve a marked reduction in both the number of accidents, and traveltime within city limits, as well as a drop in fuel consumption. Thereby marking a clear decline in CO2emissions, and directly improving air quality.

With urban populations set to double by 2050 andaccounting for 70 per cent of the world’s population,transportation systems will be impacted, increasingcongestion, threatening safety, delaying commuters,burning up valuable fuel, and harming the environment.To meet these challenges, SmartCities around the worldare relying on Schneider Electric’s Smart Mobilitysolutions for integrated city management—improvingmobility for citizens through operational efficiency andsmart information.

The first smart transportation system to beimplemented in Saudi Arabia, Schneider ElectricsSmartMobility manages inter-urban expressway trafficthrough a centralised platform. The system controls andmanages the four tunnels and the entire range of fielddevices in place along the expressway’s length of six

kilometres, increasing user safety and security and improving infrastructure maintenance. Thesolution also provides real-time information on traffic conditions, which enables local authorities torespond rapidly in a co-ordinated manner to any incidents that may occur on the expressway, inaccordance with action plans that are pre-determined by the application.

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

One area of particular concern is the safety of emergencyresponders and firefighters and the need for them to be fitted withhigh-quality protective clothing and equipment. Given the MiddleEast’s hot and arid conditions, firefighters need exceptional gear thatcan withstand the rigors of multiple roles that go beyond fire fighting.

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

DuPont is spearheading efforts in this regard through materialssuch as its high-quality, intelligent flame resistant fibre, Nomex®.Nomex® labelled garments are incorporated into fabric for use byfirefighters and industrial workers all over the world. It canwithstand exposure to extreme heat for over eight secondswithout melting or dripping.

“The Middle East is highly susceptible to fires which, whenuncontrolled, can be highly catastrophic. It is thus imperative for theregion to have access to the best equipment and expertise to combatthis perpetual threat. It is just as important to ensure the personalprotection of fire fighters so that they can more effectively do their job.With its heat resistance, strength and light weight, Nomex® makesfirefighting as safe and as bearable as possible for our responders,”said Amr El-Moneim, DuPont™ Regional Marketing Manager.

TTHE ENTERPRISE APPLICATION Software (EAS) solutions market is helping drive the booming enterprise IT sector in the region,

especially for Small Medium Enterprises(SMEs), explained Mansoor Sarwar, seniormanager of presales at Sage Software MiddleEast & India.

The EAS market is a core part of ITspending and Sarwar noted that Sage wasaiming to further leverage its wide range ofsoftware solutions and services across theMiddle East SME segment.

According to important data that Sage hascollected from market surveys by Gartner andIDC, Sarwar argued that there is a clearindication that IT spending is going to grow ata very healthy rate in the coming years, thegrowth appearing mainly in the MENA region.

A recent IDC report looked at the MiddleEast, Africa and Turkey and had predictedthat IT spending in the region will surpassUS$65bn this year, an increase of more than12 per cent on 2011.

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

The recent jump in IT spending is in stark

contrast to the sector’s decline in the maturemarkets of North America and Europe. TheMiddle East region’s IT spending has beenrising consistently over the last few years.According to the Gartner research, ITspending in the Middle East should grow by14.3 per cent this year.

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

that out of total IT spending, over US$1.2trillion is shared between Enterprise softwareand IT Services. The report also revealed thatthe global SME market, which representsapproximately a quarter of all enterprise ITspending, is leading this growth.

"We are clearly seeing the SME sector isleading this trend in terms of growth oftechnology. One fourth of the technologyspend is clearly coming from the mid-marketto small medium market companies,” hesaid.

Sarwar believes that CustomerRelationship Management (CRM) andEnterprise Resource Planning (ERP), whichSage supplies, are the cornerstone of whatmost companies are looking to invest inwhen it comes to IT. This is because themajority of IT spending in the Middle East isdesigned to accelerate growth and attractand retain more customers, while at thesame time, improve efficiency.

He stressed that Sage is pushing thesethree fronts very hard, with the companyoffering a single solution that delivers both

sides of the technology. Sage has a diverseportfolio of solutions on offer, which includesSage ERP X3, Sage CRM and Sage 300 ERP.

Sarwar added, "Between these threetechnologies we have seen positive growth inthe UAE and Qatar in particular and MiddleEast in general. ERP as a concept is stillrelatively new in the UAE market, but we haveexperienced double digit growth there.”

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

"We find the UAE is very receptive tobusiness intelligence & cloud computing. Itis growing at a very fast rate in differentplaces and the UAE is now leading this trendin Middle East,” said Sarwar, concluding thatSage had seen a lot of positive developmentsin the region’s IT enterprise market, withcloud services and mobile devices havingnow moved the market to the next level ofCRM and ERP. ■

SSAUDI ARABIA’S ECONOMY hasremained strong during theglobal economic downturn andhas witnessed an increase in

the number of construction contractsawarded in the first half of 2012. Duringthe second quarter, the value of awardedcontracts continued at a fast pace,reaching US$19.8bn.

The strong performance in Q2 meansthat the value of awarded contractsthrough the first half of 2012 reachedUS$33.7bn. This was largely as a result ofmega-projects being awarded within thepetrochemical and power sectors, whichaccounted for US$17.8bn of the firsthalf’s total value, according to the report.

NCB Capital’s Index revealed that thepower and petrochemical sectors werethe main drivers during the secondquarter as approximately US$13.8bnworth of contracts were awarded.

Infrastructure related sectors, such asthe healthcare, education, urbandevelopment and roads, which havetraditionally been the focus of publicspending, contributed approximatelyUS$7bn of the first half’s total value ofawarded contracts.

The report highlighted the growth inawards. “Building on the fast growth thatwas exhibited during the first quarter, theUS$19.8bn in awarded contracts duringQ2 resulted in a substantial tally for thefirst half of the year.”

NCB Capital reported, "Although 2011was considered to be a remarkable yearin the construction sector, it appears that2012 will continue this positive trend."

Regional advantageThe Index also portrayed an insightfullook at the spread of the awardedconstruction contracts within thecountry’s various regions.

The Eastern Province saw the highestamount of awarded contracts, with 37per cent of all awarded contractsoccurred in this part of Saudi Arabia.This was mainly due to the sheeramount of mega-projects that wereawarded in the petrochemical andpower sectors in the region.

The Mecca region also had severalmega-projects that were awarded inthe petrochemical sector, mainly dueto the development of Petro-Rabigh’srefinery and petrochemicals complex in

the city of Rabigh. Saudi’s capital, Riyadh, and the

Madinah region contributed 14 per centeach towards the value of the totalawarded contracts. Riyadh benefittedfrom a number of contract awards acrossnumerous sectors and Madinah’s sharewas largely due to the development ofthe third phase of the Yanbu PowerPlant.

Strongest monthNCB Capital’s Index showed the flow ofcontract awards for specific projectsover the three-month period during thesecond quarter, giving a useful picture ofsector domination month by month.

In April the contract awards werevalued at approximately US$3.8bn, ledby the transportation and educationsectors, which are key sectors for thegovernment.

continues to grow and is driven byaggressive construction of new roads,railways and integrated communitydevelopment projects across thecountry.

One transport contract accounted for21 per cent of the total value of awardedcontracts during April. The contract wasfor the construction of Jeddah’s KingAbdulaziz International airport’s aircraftmaintenance, repair and operation(MRO) facility and was awarded by SaudiAerospace Engineering Industries (SAEI)to a consortium led by Turkey’s TAVConstruction for US$800mn.

The education sector has receivedstrong government support with highbudgets that have contributed to thecontinued growth of the sector. Theupward trend of budgetary allocationshighlights the Saudi government’sconviction that education is thecornerstone of sustained economicdevelopment.

Within the education sector,US$640mn worth of contracts wereawarded by the Ministry of HigherEducation for the construction anddevelopment of various universities andassociated facilities across the country.The total value of awarded contracts inthe education sector during the first halfof the year totalled US$2.2bn.

The power sector contributed nearlyUS$590mn worth of awarded contractsduring April with the largest contractbeen awarded by Saudi Aramco toHyundai Heavy Industries for theexpansion of three independent powerand steam projects. The total value forthis one power contract was US$430mn.

In May, the value of contracts awardedin Saudi nearly doubled to US$7.4bn,with the petrochemical and powersectors accounting for nearly 69 per centof the total value of awarded contracts.

The power sector saw a total ofUS$1.7bn worth of contracts awarded inMay. The most significant of thesecontracts was the development of PP12(power plant 12) near Riyadh City. SECawarded a US$1.25bn contract toArabian Bemco and the plant is expected

to be completed within three years.The transportation sector also had two

big contracts awarded in the Meccaregion. The Mecca DevelopmentAuthority awarded Saudi Binladin Groupa US$510mn contract to build 19.5km ofroads, bridges and tunnels in Mecca andthe surrounding area. The constructionis expected to be completed within threeyears.

The final month of the second quarter,June, saw the value of contract awardsfurther increase to reach US$8.6bn;once again contracts were led by thepetrochemical and power sectors whichaccounted for 89 per cent of the value ofall contracts.

Approximately US$5.3bn worth ofcontracts were awarded in thepetrochemical sector with the Al JubailPetrochemical Company (Kemya-JVbetween SABIC and ExxonMobil)awarded six contracts worth US$3.4bn

to several international contractors.The power sector saw US$2.3bn worth

of awarded contracts in June. The mega-project awarded by the Saline WaterConversion Corporation (SWCC) andMarafiq to joint companies, Al ToukhiContracting and Samsung Engineering,dominated, being worth US$1.8bn.

OutlookIn conclusion, NCB Capital said that, asexpected, anchor sectors contributed asignificant share of the value of theawarded contracts with 16 projects eachworth US$270mn, most being awardedin the petrochemical sector alone.

“We expect this trend to continue intothe second half of this year as the valueof awarded contracts is anticipated tofurther increase during this period.Additionally, non-anchor sectors areexpected to take on a larger share of theoverall value as the government’s 2012budget called for heavy investment inthe social infrastructure sectors,” thereport predicted. ■

MMETSO CLAIMS THAT its newvalve manager representsmodern, third-generationvalve diagnostics that are

capable of processing the collecteddiagnostics information to visualise thecondition of the valve in question with fivedifferent indices: Control performance,Valve condition, Actuator condition,Positioner condition and condition of theoperating environment.

With processed and visualiseddiagnostics information the maintenancemanagers and engineers and processoperators are capable of making educateddecisions concerning the control valvemaintenance without deep valve know-how.

Efficiently allocatedUnexpected shutdowns can be avoidedand the control valve performance can be

maintained at optimum level bycontinuously monitoring the condition ofthe installed base at the plant or mill andby taking the necessary preventive actionsbased on the available diagnosticsinformation. Also, with the help of thediagnostics, the available maintenanceresources can be more efficientlyallocated during shutdowns.

When so called preventive or schedulebased maintenance strategy is followed,many valves are often needlesslymaintained during shutdowns. Byfocusing the maintenance actions on thevalves really needing maintenance,significant maintenance cost savings canbe achieved through reduced spare partpurchases and reduced need formaintenance resources.

Metso’s new Valve Manager is availablefor the ND9000 series intelligent valvecontrollers. The ND9000 series intelligentvalve controllers include several in buildsensors and they are measuring variousinternal parameters. Based on this dataand on the wide installed base andextensive service experience, Metso hasdeveloped mathematical algorithms tocalculate the indices in the Performanceview (presented in figure 1.).

Industry standardThe third generation diagnostics arealready available for control valves. Thesame level of information cannot yet bereceived from on-off or from ESD valveperformance but Metso is developing itsvalve solutions further to bring thesefeatures available for the on-off and ESDvalves as well. The technology benchmarkdevices on the on-off side, such as Metso’sSwitchGuardTM intelligent on-off valvecontroller, already include diagnosticsfeatures that are especially designed foron-off applications.

The industry standard for on-off valvecontrol is presently more or less usingsolenoid valves to control the on-offmovement. One of the downsides with thesolenoids is clearly that they can’t provideany diagnostics data on the on-off valveperformance. Thus it can already be seenwith ESD valves, which are the most criticaltype of on-off valves, that in new greenfield projects smart partial stroke testing(PST) devices are being implemented.

Integrated devicesThe state-of-the-art smart PST devices,such as Metso’s ValvGuardTM, are usedto conduct different tests for the ESDvalves, both online and offline,providing diagnostics information on theESD valve condition. Next step would bethen to have the smart PST devicesanalyse the data further and providesimilar indices that are presently alreadyavailable for control valves.

For other on-off applications, besidesthe ESD, Metso has brought integratedsolenoid and limit switch combinationsto the market.

One example of such a device isMetso’s Axiom on-off valve controller,which can also provide basicdiagnostics by giving fault alerts ofpossible changes in the on-off valvecondition.

Some customers have alreadyidentified the need for diagnostics onthe process critical on-off valves and theintegrated devices can be seen as a firststep towards this direction. ■

ALBA HAS INVESTED nearlyUS$100mn in providing new airventilation louvres for two of itspot lines.The company said the newinvestment underlined itscommitment to achieve zero harmacross the plant.The air ventilation louvre projectwas started last year as part of aninitiative to improve workconditions for employees on aregular basis.It aims at increasing productivityand enhancing performance levels."Our employees are our mostvaluable assets since it is primarily through their hard work thatAlba today is one of the world's leading aluminium smelters,"said chief executive Laurent Schmitt."Hence, the safety of our employees and improving of their workenvironment remains a continued focus as well as a priority."With smoother air circulation and cooler work conditions madepossible, the new air ventilation louvres are expected to play akey role in boosting performance levels."The air ventilation louvres will basically operate as heat evacuationmechanisms that will allow fresh air to enter the shop floor leadingto cooling down of surrounding temperatures," said Schmitt."It will benefit operators working in the north side of the potlines who are involved in activities like anode changing and pot

maintenance."It has been further designedto close in winter and open insummer and thereby provideincreased flexibility to Alba'semployees," Schmitt added. Alba's position as a companykeen to promote its safetystandards as a corporatecitizen was highlightedrecently during a visit to itspremises by a 14-memberdelegation from the Electricityand Water Authority's (EWA)Water Transmission Directoratesafety committee.

Alba's environment and safety engineer Hubert Satheesh metthe delegation headed by EWA's safety and environmentchief Qatami Al Marasi. The delegation was briefed on safety guidelines and proceduresadopted by Alba and was later given an insight on thecompany's operations and state-of-the-art production processinvolved in producing high-grade aluminium products and thecompany's presence in international markets."Alba takes pride in promoting safety as a key priority in all ofits operations," said chief executive Laurent Schmitt. "This priority is specified in our charter and remains a key focusfor developing a safe working environment not only for ouremployees but also for the wider community.”

TTHE PACE OF infrastructure development in the MiddleEast is staggering. In just a few decades entire cities haverisen from the desert, complete with the power, water andtransport infrastructures required to sustain life in the

21st century.But the rate of expansion is not slowing. As the region takes full

advantage of its hydrocarbon wealth and makes inroads into thediversification of individual economies, the population andurbanisation have risen massively. Fresh infrastructure isrequired, and no longer is there a blank canvas to work with – theexpansion of power transmission in modern cities must take intoaccount the tangible constraints placed upon it by existingconstruction.

As environmental requirements and available space fortransmission systems restrict traditional techniques, andadvancing renewable sources create further need for reliabletransportation of bulk power, increasingly more innovative andcost-effective methods of bringing efficient electricity into theheart of Middle Eastern cities are being sought.

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

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

This enclosure is formed by an aluminum tube, which providesa solid mechanical and electrotechnical containment for thesystem. In order to meet up-to-date environmental and technicalaspects, GIL are filled with an insulating gas mixture of mainlynitrogen and a smaller percentage of sulphur hexafluoride. Toincrease the lifespan, the ‘performance line’ product series has alongitudinal particle trap installed over the entire horizontal routesection, and an automated orbital welding procedure,accompanied by tailored ultrasonic inspection techniques,ensures perfect gas tightness of the aluminum tubes.

“The outcome,” explained Wolfgang Braun, head of powertransmission for Siemens Middle East, “is a virtuallymaintenance-free system capable of transmitting up to 3,700MVA with up to 70 per cent lower losses than pyloned lines, whilemaintaining lower operating temperatures – even in overloadmode – and demonstrating a stronger resistance to internal arc-faults and short circuits”

Siemens believe that gas insulated lines, atechnology it has implemented in the regionwill see increasing use in the future.

Transmission & Distribution36



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

“Their versatility is what makes GIL an excellent solution forconfined spaces or challenging routings – GIL installations havebeen realised in every conceivable layout, with shafts masteringstraight vertical distances of 200 m, overcoming steeply inclinedslopes, passing around buildings both above and below ground,and following meandering routings without angle units,” saidBraun. “The installation of GIL also makes use of sophisticatedlaying techniques, long proven from the pipeline constructionindustry, and with the addition of some product-specificmodifications. The advantageous consequence of this is thatproject implementation time can also be kept to a minimum,lowering costs for our customers.”

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

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

“The Siemens GIL systems also bring benefits inoperational safety. GIL systems are immune to hazards thatare inherent to other power transmission systems, are safe totouch in operation and are fireproof and explosion-proof. Theelectrical insulation system is also not subject to ageingphenomena, which reduces the risk of internal failures to

virtually zero,” explained Braun. In a region rapidly adding power generation capacity to cope

with swiftly rising demand, it is up to the transmission anddistribution systems to ensure that this valuable resource istransmitted as reliably and cost-effectively as possible.

“Gas insulated lines will be a key player in the formation ofdemanding transmission projects in the future,” concludedBraun. “Whether for the transmission of gigawatts of powerfrom large renewable sources, for reliable connection of crucialpower stations to outgoing lines or for the transfer of bulkpower underground right into tomorrow’s megacities, GILtechnology will undoubtedly have a crucial role to play.” ■

SSPECIFYING THE RIGHT size of engine generating set(or sets) in the first place is fundamental to long-term customer satisfaction. The calculations arecomplex, and the services of your local

manufacturer’s representative should always be called uponbefore making a choice. For experienced works managersonly the use of a dedicated sizing-programme (software) toolas available on the websites of several major suppliers maysuffice. But this is a major long-term purchase and it needs tobe done properly.

In some Gulf applications, the equipment will be ‘sized’ sothat it can pick up all the required loads (motors, airconsystem, welding equipment etc.) in a single step. In others itis a good idea to automatically turn on the loads whichcause the maximum start-up surge first, then sequentiallyswitch in the rest.

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

Precise informationAnother key consideration must always be whether theequipment is to be used for standby (emergency) powersupply, continuous prime supply or utility paralleling. Thiswill determine the level of overload capacity required and thenature of the ancillary equipment needed.

The first in-depth stage in choosing and sizing your set isalways to accurately identify and then sum up all the typesand sizes of loads that need to be served. This summationprocess requires precise information to be tabulated on thepower factor of every single piece of load equipment. Thisgoes right down to the capacity of the lighting circuit, thenature (size and timing/frequency) of peak loads such aslarge electric motors that power items like elevators andpumps and therefore cycle unpredictably on and off and thedifferences between start-up and running loads of everymotor installed, with some allowance for future expansion.

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


Power & Water40

Choosing a genset with the right outputcapacity and characteristics is just asimportant as getting the best supplier andpurchase terms. Being able to describe howload varies through the day and is likely tochange over time is important too.

systems that charge large DC storage battery banks and mustbe compatible with the pre-installed genset system; lead-acid accumulator charging systems generally (including forcranking up the standby generator itself); highly sensitivemedical imaging and control systems and all emergencyequipment including building access controls and lighting.All heavy-duty equipment that relies on the power systemitself to absorb energy during regenerative braking, as in theoperation of a large crane or mechanical hoist, must also betaken into account. If incorrectly specified this very usefulability can overload the system and cause the genset to shutitself down.

Key considerationsThis is a general summary of a very complex decision-making

process. For further advice on keytechnical issues such as ‘dips’ in stepvoltage and frequency, single-/three-phase selection and whether the loadsyour machinery and services impose arelinear or not, your manufacturer’s agentshould always be referred to. Only anexperienced supplier can sum up all thecircumstances that will determine whattype of equipment you need.

Expect to be questioned closely aboutthe pattern of day-to-day operationsbecause these will be keyconsiderations if the generating setpackage is to perform properly.

Finally, always remember that yourbusiness will almost certainly beexpanding, and the power you need,and its sequencing, will change overtime. Your dealer should be able toadvise you on how to cope with this.

In order to keep all the gensets onyour premises running under full load itgenerally makes sense to install anexpandable bank of matching setswithin a plant room that leaves plenty ofspace for subsequent acquisitions.These should match as closely aspossible the output characteristics ofthe equipment being supplemented - agood reason for going to one of theworld’s top manufacturers, or at leasttheir local agent, in the first place. ■

AASSOCIATED WITH MEE (Middle East Electricity) thisyear’s international Power + Water Middle Eastexhibition, and related Technical Seminar/Leaders’Forum and social/networking events, is the Gulf’s

exclusive early-season showcase of power- and water-relatedproducts and services from top suppliers all over the world.

Running from 8-10 October in Abu Dhabi’s splendid recentlycompleted ADNEC Centre this fifth edition is once again beingorganised by Informa Exhibitions (www.powerandwaterme.com;[email protected] or call +971 (0)4 336 5161 for details).Technical Review is proud to have been selected as a partner withthis ADWEA- and local Chamber of Commerce & Industry-associated event

The background to this time-proven dual-sector show is onceagain the continuing predictably explosive growth of power andwater demand in all countries in the GCC region.

Specifically:■ UAE electricity output (from all sources) is predicted to grow by

40 per cent by 2020■ A massive increase in water storage is planned for nearby gas-

fuelled Qatar, designed to provide a whole week’s emergencystorage

■ Development by FEWA of underground resources in thenorthern Al Surra area

■ Growth of power demand by 30,000 MW-plus in theneighbouring Saudi Arabia – again as soon as 2020

In response to these indicative developments the “Power”section of this year’s P+WME show will be covering generation,

transmission, distribution, automation/controls,research/technology along with general energy conservation andefficiency issues.

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

The overlaps between the two sections will, as in previousyears, be many. More than 120 individual exhibitors from 25 othercountries as well as the UAE booked booth space at the fourthP+WME event, seen by over 3,500 business visitors. The recordsshow that the majority (40 per cent) came from the powergeneration and process control industries, but other keycategories of suppliers last time were manufacturers of powertransmission and automation equipment, desalination plant and

supplies, and power distribution products and services.

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

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

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

THE US GOVERNMENT’S Board of Directors ofthe Overseas Private Investment Corporation(OPIC) has approved funding worth US$270mnfor the construction of a 240MW electricalpower plant in Jordan.

The tri-fuel electricalplant will be built andoperated by AES LevantHoldings BV Jordan Psc,an affiliate of the AESCorporation. The plantwill be located on anunused portion of theAmman East Powerproject site, a rural area24 km outside ofAmman.

Electricity generatedby the plant will be purchased by the NationalElectric Power Company (NEPCO) of Jordanthrough a power-purchase agreement with AESLevant Holdings BV Jordan Psc. The electricityproduced will help provide Jordan with reliableenergy during peak usage periods, such asevening hours and summer months.

“Ensuring that Jordan’s citizens have reliableelectricity at all times, even during peak usage

periods, is a critical service,” said OPICpresident and chief executive officer, ElizabethLittlefield. “This project will help Jordan meetthat need even as its electricity demandcontinues to grow,”

Jordan will be unable tomeet its projecteddemand for electricity of4,900 MW by 2020, whichis 48 per cent higher thanits current generationcapacity. The governmenthas made it a top priorityto enhance the country’selectricity generationcapacity.

The 2007 Amman EastPower project was the

first independent power provider project to beimplemented under the Private Sector PowerGeneration Policy of Jordan, which aims toimprove the quality and efficiency of its electricservices in the country.

AES Levant Holdings BV Jordan Psc is ownedunder a shareholding structure betweenMitsui and AES similar to the Amman EastPower projects.

■ AES ARABIA HAS won a US$14mncontract to build a dedicatedSWRO (seawater reverse osmosis)plant for King Abdullah Universityof Science & Technology (KAUST)Research Park. Under the contract,AES will be responsible for design,manufacture, construction,commission for the plant whichwill be able to produce up to 2,752gpm (gallons per minute) offreshwater. China NationalChemical Engineering Company(CNCEC) is the contractor for theproject and is under themanagement of Saudi Aramco.Seawater for the facility will betaken from a deep open intake, andwill be subject to extensive pre-treatment before being pumped tothe desalination plant. Thedesalinated water will then befurther treated to remove Boronand then re-mineralised to meetWHO water standards. AES Arabiahas worked with KAUST in the pastand participated in theconstruction of KAUST’s 52,000CMD SWRO facility.

TTOMAS KUTA, PRESIDENT of EMEAsales at Volvo ConstructionEquipment (Volvo CE), spokerecently of the company's

renewed focus on sales in European,Middle Eastern and African markets - andof its commitment to innovation in design,to make its equipment increasinglypurposeful and cost-effective.

At the heart of Volvo CE's new wavecommitment to innovation is the company'sadherence to core values – an adherence tothe aspiration of quality, safety andenvironmental care. Volvo CE regards thesevalues as fundamental drivers for itsoperations and operational development,underpinning an open and future-orientedapproach to business relationships, as wellas product development.

QualityMaking and delivering products that workwell means a lot, but being a responsiblecorporate citizen requires more than that.Volvo Construction Equipment’s approachto market involves creating a symbioticrelationship between quality, safety andenvironmental care - ensuring the qualityof its products, the efficiency of itsfactories, and the standards it sets by itspartners and services.

As Kuta spoke, it was clear that qualitymatters most; not only in its own right,but also in underpinning the promotionof safety and environmental issues.Volvo CE's core values apply through thequality of equipment supplied tosupport construction projects in Africanmarkets. This new drive - evidenced inthe development of the company'sdrivetrain, hydraulics and liftingsystems, for example, and in its

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

RestructuringKuta affirmed the continuing stress on aheritage of commitment to quality whenhe said, "We always have tried to stayahead of the competition."

A principal reason for Volvo CE's recentrestructuring of its sales and distributionnetworks is to engage better with itscustomers and potential buyers.

Proximity is a keyword at the company.This is reflected already in a good salesmomentum for this year, with goodoperating figures recorded so far.

Kuta firmly believes that continuedsuccess for Volvo CE rests also with superiorengagement with markets. He said, "Thedifferentiator will be distribution."

Looking at the supply chain, Kuta alsohighlighted attachments, and introduceda new attachments system in prospectfrom Volvo CE - borne of a SEK100mn(US$14.5mn) investment, and set to befully realised, globally, by 2015.Alongside telematics, customer supportagreements and many other areas, Kutasaid that this area would bring Volvo CEcloser to markets and to customers, byresponding better to demand, bydelivering tailor-made solutions.

The Middle East, and in particular SaudiArabia and the UAE, are the "most robustmarkets" in the world for VolvoConstruction Equipment.

Both the UAE and Saudi Arabianmarkets are serviced by FAMCO, whichlast year acquired Al Rehab Machinery,exclusive distributor of Volvo constructionequipment to the Kingdom. ■

Formwork54

Jumeirah Lake Towers is a collection ofhigh-end residential and office buildingslocated opposite the Dubai Marina on theother side of the Sheikh Zayed Road. Dueto economically challenging conditions,several projects in the area were put onhold, including road works.

This year, road works haverecommenced and are now surgingtowards completion. With the launch of thenew onsite assembly service,commissioned by contractors GhulamRasool & Company Pvt. Ltd., Doka isproviding formwork project managementand is now heavily involved in a revivedproject for the comprehensiveimprovement of parallel roads.

Engineered bridge formwork & shoringsolutionDoka Engineers decided on approximately16,000 cu/m of Load-bearing Staxo 100 toform the full four spans of the bridge. Inorder to avoid traditional formworksolutions and adjustments onsite,prefabricated Large-area formwork Top 50units have been supplied ready to install,allowing the contractor to focus on othercompetencies.

The Ready to Use preassembly teamhas fabricated around 1,200 sqm ofLarge-area Top 50 panels. Doka’s sitesupervision and labour team are erectingthe panels safely onsite using spindlesand a special suspended solution tospeed up and simplify handling andrepositioning of the formwork. For extraefficiency Doka is supplying 50 per centof the total requirement of the wallshutters, which are being reused for thelast two of the four spans. At the outset,Load-bearing Staxo 40 is utilised to form

the top and cantilever slabs.The Bridge NW-01 comprises four post-

tensioned, dual-celled spans with anaverage support height of 6.50 m. Doka’sformwork supply covers the full scope ofworks onsite such as shoring, bottom slab,wing and internal walls, intermediatediaphragms, cantilever and top deck slabs.

Doka is bearing even more responsibilitywith its role at this jobsite to ensure thetarget schedules and milestones are met.The Dubai branch is providing pioneeringnew services in the scope of work tocoordinate onsite formwork erection andassembly, ready-to-use preassembly, andeven managing the heavy equipmentneeded onsite to deploy and manoeuvreformwork. Doka’s most proficientengineers and supervisors are onsite daily

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

Faster repositioningGhulam Rasool, with one of its firstconstruction projects in the UAE market, washighly impressed by the advantages of Staxo100 in bridge building compared to localsystems. Additionally Doka’s preassembledLarge-area Top 50 wall shutters withengineered and specially fabricated steelparts greatly reduced the quantity offabricated timber elements required to formthe bridge’s shape. Finally, Doka’s Dubai-based engineers provided a specialsuspended solution that made therepositioning process significantly fasterthan conventional de-shuttering sequences.

“Since this project was our first entry into theinfrastructure market in UAE, we could not takeany risks on satisfying the client,” KhalidMahmood, project manager for GhulamRasool, said. “Formwork was a big factor andthe combination of Doka’s proximity to thesite, onsite assembly and ready-to-useservices thus far have saved us a lot ofresources and time.”

AALL OF PERI systems and systemcomponents greatly contribute inhelping successfully preventaccidents involving falls, and

significantly increase working efficiency onthe construction site.

Artur Schwoerer, the company’s founder,addresses it as the most important goal ofPERI, to make building work easier, fasterand safer.

Consequently, the "safety" aspect isincluded in every single idea for a newformwork and scaffolding system. Thismeans, on the one hand, that PERIproducts and systems are safe to use. PERIhas fulfilled this, for example, bydeveloping systems with as few aspossible, easy-to-handle individualcomponents. As a result, the overallplanning and logistics processes alongwith the use on the construction site issimplified.

The PERI product range naturallyincludes all required additional systemcomponents for guaranteeing safe workingconditions: for example, access laddersand platforms are available for the wallformwork and column formwork systems assafe access and secure working areas arean essential prerequisite for fast working.

The global presence of PERI furthermoremeans that the safety regulations ofnumerous countries and continents aretaken into consideration.

A further example for safety within thesystem is, for example, the reliable PERI UPT 72 facade scaffolding with the T-frame.Due to the design, the scaffolder is alreadyprovided with guardrail protection whenaccessing the next scaffolding level –without any extra parts needed. Here, too,safety-compliant development was in the

foreground and any misapplication hasvirtually been eliminated.

Safety with wall formwork systemsThe MAXIMO platform system MXP for TRIOand MAXIMO panel formwork provides –thanks to its unique design – maximumlevels of safety for all forming operations. Itprovides perfectly secure, all-sided access,even for stopend formwork. With platformsdesigned to match the panel widths of theMAXIMO and TRIO systems, the highdegree of flexibility of the panel formwork isfully retained. The platforms are available in 240, 120, 90and 72 cm widths. Other systemcomponents, such as the end platform, thefront guardrails of various widths and the

erection device, round off the programmeand ensure efficient and safe formworkingoperations.

Concreting platforms and access laddersare available for all PERI column formworksystems. They are delivered ready-to-use tothe construction site. Being made ofaluminium, they can easily be mounted tothe horizontal element by hand. For thedifferent systems and cross-sections, thesame components are used. This simplifieslogistical operations and reduces the spacerequired on site and at the stockyard.

The PERI access ladders, complete withladder cages, are used as access points forreaching the concreting platforms and alsoas working areas for closing and releasingthe column formwork halves. ■

PERI has dedicated itself toresolving safety issueswithin the constructionsector and safety is at theheart of all of thecompany’s formwork andscaffolding systems.

UUNDER THE PATRONAGE of thePublic Works Minister, the secondedition of INTERMAT Middle Eastwill be open for business visitors

in Abu Dhabi from 8-10 October. This almost-new exhibition of building,

construction and earthmoving equipment isan innovative idea, effectively an inwards-transplant of the huge and highly successfulthree-yearly INTERMAT exhibition held in theFrench capital since 1988. This is put on bylocal exhibition specialists Comexposiumwith the technical assistance of the French

CISMA and SEIMAT equipment tradeassociations and the Paris Chamber ofCommerce.

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

At this year’s event in April a specialMiddle East Day was held in Paris. Interest inbusiness prospects in this area was reportedto be very strong as a result, with major localsales for infrastructure-related projectsreported by heavy equipment suppliers suchas Bobcat and Doosan.

INTERMAT Middle East is effectively aregional spin-off, concentrating on much thesame business and machinery sectors as theparent organisation in Europe but relatingthese specifically to Middle Eastern andNorth African issues - and the huge scale ofdealing with them here. The regional editionof the show already has a strong following inSouth Asia too.

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

■ Concrete, scaffolding and formwork■ Demolition equipment■ Drilling, boring and tunnelling■ Mining and quarrying■ Road building including material recycling■ On- and off-road vehicles for construction-

related use■ General plant engineering and services

INTERMAT Middle East 2012 is again beingstaged by Clarion Events Middle East inassociation with Comexposium*. This yearmore than 7,000 visitors are confidentlyexpected to attend what is already anestablished event, to see the products andservices of an estimated 250-plus exhibitors,some of them showing machinery too largeto display within the ADNEC centre’s largehalls.

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

One of these exhibitors, top Europeancrane and materials-handling equipmentbuilder Sennebogen, supplied somepertinent comments from General ManagerAndreas Geier in advance of the opening ofthis month’s show; this company put on alarge display of its heavy plant andequipment earlier in the year in Paris too.

A UNIQUE COOPERATION between Atlas Copco UndergroundRock Excavation and ABB has led to a significant advance inunderground mobile fleet integration.It is widely recognised in the underground mining industry thatone of the key requirements for optimizing operations lies inbeing able to integrate and monitor all equipment and processesfrom a central point. The possibility to do this is now closer toreality thanks to a groundbreaking development project betweenAtlas Copco, a global supplier of underground mobile miningequipment and ABB, a world leader in power, automation andprocess engineering.The two companies have come up with the world’s first systemdesigned to give underground mining companies a completeoverview of their operations, thereby realising the vision of thefully integrated underground hard rock mine.

The new technology is based on integrating data from AtlasCopco’s advanced underground mobile mining equipment in realtime (via a WiFi network) with ABB’s Process Control System800xA. This capability gives personnel in a control roomenvironment a complete overview of all activities, allowing themto make informed decisions regarding the production flow.Location tracking, equipment performance, production statusand environmental impact are just a few of the outcomes the jointproject was able to demonstrate.Mattias Pettersson, product manager of data management andcommunication at Atlas Copco, said: “This is a very excitingdevelopment that brings the future of underground mining rightinto the present. By installing this system, underground mineswill be able to run their operation and meet their targets moreeffectively than ever before.”

AADVOCATES OF ‘GREEN Building’, as championed hereby the GB Councils in Doha and Dubai (1), canusefully visit the tiny port of Lamu, not far away onKenya’s Indian Ocean coast, to see effective

centuries-old local practice at its best.There natural African building materials and construction

techniques imported over centuries from Oman are combinedto produce one of the most sustainable and attractivesettlements on earth. Regrettably a new oil pipeline threatensthis World Heritage Site.

Today’s revived sustainable-building movement relies onconstruction principles that ensure resource efficiencythroughout the lifetime of the structure – including the all-important siting of the building that prevents sprawl in thefirst place. In Lamu’s case it’s the remote just-offshorelocation that has always ensured this.

Economically usedDespite their heritage, today’s green building practices relyheavily on efficient contemporary materials, including low-cost timber composites and insulation-promoting permeableconcrete, to ensure efficiency, utility, durability and comfort inthe long term.

All resources are economically used in the design andconstruction process, and that includes transport for delivery.In all ways the well-being of occupants and neighbours is

protected. And environmental degradation is kept to anabsolute minimum, with both maximum aesthetic appeal andthe Gulf cities’ enviable ‘wow’ factor that is the result ofemploying the world’s very best architects.

Today’s wide range of green building practices were revivedin the 1970s when energy costs really started to risedramatically. It was soon realised that useful ‘synergies’ –value-enhancing combinations of positive factors - were allimportant in reducing the impact of a building on theenvironment over its full life span by employing renewabilityprinciples wherever possible.

Efficient useSound original design, precise siting, efficient use of utilityservices, appropriate materials, optimisation of all operationsincluding the safety of constructors, ongoing maintenanceand combined reduction and efficient handling of all wastes atall stages are part of the initial, usually local authority-approved, concept.

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

Fast-growingEfficient use of resources such as the building materialsemployed, and the water and energy consumed in bothconstruction and subsequent operation, are self-evidentvirtues which are widely pursued by all those who wish toavoid the shanty-town sprawl of so many of the world’s otherfast-growing countries; those in tropical Africa and SouthAmerica being notorious as the coming, second, Rio Summitwill no doubt demonstrate.

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

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

Effective and efficient operation and maintenance can andshould be designed-in in the first place if Green Buildingprinciples are being followed, even if it is just in simplematters such as ensuring that all light fittings can readily bechanged without risk to either occupants or maintenancepersonnel, and thorough cleaning can be carried out.

ThrivingLikewise reduction of all waste products generated, andinstalling efficiently hygienic methods of handling andhopefully recycling them, is vital during the constructionphase of the building. But it is even more important

throughout the operational lifespan. And through theinevitable demolition process, too. This means thatappropriate but minimal use of rebars (reinforcing steel) –which often facilitates concrete decay anyway and is widelyseen in bridge structures all over the world – is designed infrom the outset. The builders of Lamu and the much earlierteams who constructed the pyramids, another really high-grade UN-protected site, used natural materials. If this is donethe mass material becomes much easier to recycle with asimple crusher at the end of the day.

That can mean a residual positive return on existingmaterials to the proprietor even when the site is finallyredeveloped, something which often happens within just a fewdecades in today’s market.

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

This particular document covers thethree main phases of an item’s lifecycle– acquisition, operation andmaintenance, and ultimate selling-on orother disposal.

First and second ‘priority’ issues areneatly summarised on a single page ofguidance for analysing these threestages, under the headings of Directproduct costs, Indirect process costs,

Indirect opportunity costs, Relatedactivities and what it calls Cost drivers.

In order these include equipment andspare parts costs, purchasing andhandling costs, costs of financing andrental, administration throughout thelifespan of the machine, and more than20 individual ‘drivers’ for all these. It allmakes a useful cellphone-handysummary, easy to carry and check overbefore making the decision aboutwhether to buy or hire a specific item ofcontractors’ plant.

THE LATEST CHINESE revenue avenue is being exploited in SaudiArabia where the kingdom plans to begin an estimated US$100bn worth of infrastructure projects by 2016, according to variousmedia sources in China.

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

Saudi economistJamal Banoon told AlArabiya.net that lessexpensive materialsfrom China wouldgreatly boost theconstruction boom inJeddah.

"China's buildingmaterial companies inthe Saudi market willhelp those with lowincomes to build their

houses on less expensive budgets," Banoon said. "They wouldalso add to the total market value of real estate in the Gulf regionif companies started to rely on Chinese building material forfuture projects."

Banoon said China's business and government officials areexpected to promote the country's building materials and otherconstruction-related goods in Riyadh this December, at the ThirdChina Commodities Expo-Saudi Arabia.

■ SPECIALIST BUSINESS ANALYSTS Freedonia state in a new study that totalworld demand for the construction aggregates used in all forms of concretewill rise from 37.4 bn tons in 2010 to 48.3 bn tons by 2015, a mean annualgrowth rate of 5.2 per cent. This will be led by growth of 5.7 points in the Asia-Pacific region, which accounts for just over two-thirds of the global marketanyway. In order of volumes building sand, crushed stone and gravel will makeup this buoyant and generally very profitable trade, and the demand forrecycled materials is expected to grow even faster than most due toincreasingly restrictive regulations about extraction around the world. Qualityconsiderations mean that, as in the Gulf, suppliers of fully certified materialswill have a clear trading advantage. China and India will be the principal driversin most of these sectors, the first of these on its own accounting for a full one-half of all the increase in demand over the next few years. The Middle East isexpected to play a major role in the growth of demand, too.

■ VENTYX, AN ABB company, has signed a US$2.8mn deal with Ma’aden Goldand Base Metals Company , a wholly owned subsidiary of Ma’aden, the largestmining company in Saudi Arabia. Ventyx will supply its market-leading mining-operations software solutions to enhance planning and performance inMa’aden’s gold operations. A diversified mining company, Ma’aden willimplement Ventyx Intelligent Mining Solutions across the four existing minesof its Ma’aden Gold and Base Metals subsidiary. The company also has plans tosignificantly expand its gold production in the coming years with a number ofnew projects due to come online. Specifically, Ma’aden is deploying two coremining applications from the Ventyx software portfolio: Ventyx ProductionAccounting , which streamlines metal accounting and provides insight intoplant performance, and Ventyx MineMarket, which allows mining companiesto track ore movements from the mine to the plant, manage stockpiles, trackand manage logistics, and manage the complex sales and service contractsrelates to delivering product to their customers.

TTHE GULF’S HIGH rises alreadylead the world in terms ofconcrete “firsts” – volumedisposed in a single day at Abu

Dhabi’s Landmark Tower; height pumpedto in Dubai’s Burj Khalifa – and also inmore mundane achievements, such asmix-water savings, prestressingdevelopments and re-use of recycledpavement and other materials.

But for the real breakthroughs in mixdesign and batching procedures,manufacture and use of the world’snumber-one construction material we stillhave to look overseas to developmentsrecorded at popular annual events likeWorld of Concrete (4-8 February 2013 inLas Vegas, see below). Above all theseare learning opportunities for what can beachieved with this economical andversatile material.

These include developments in cementaccelerators and curing-retardants,geopolymers, screed levelling, formworkand batching plant design, waterproofingand other sealants and reinforcement,chemical admixtures including permanentcolorants, and moisture/mixmeasurement and control. Oil and gasapplications is another area ofspecialisation.

SurplusA third key issue for current research is therepair of various types of damage weatherand trauma damage, both cosmetic andstructural. And another is the use ofconcrete in advanced fire-control design.

In essence the cement industry onwhich all concrete designers, pourers andconstructors depend has not changedmuch in a couple of millennia. It’s just thesource materials and technologies, suchas industrial by-products and the meansof heating the kiln and powering themilling units, that have moved on; there is

also the inclusion of really effective steelrebar reinforcement. Global cementproduction today - many plants aremothballed and there’s still a big surplusdue to the slowdown in economic growththat’s been with us since 2008 - is allabout production efficiency and energyeconomics, which gives the gas fuelledgrinders of North Africa and the Gulf a bigadvantage.

It helps that the greater part of thenon-Far Eastern world’s demand is beinggenerated right here, as cement is a verycostly material to shift, whether in bulkor bags.

It’s that reinforcement that has been thereally key development, as concrete is avery strong material when fully cured andin compression, but poor on its own undertension.

AdditivesIncorporation of high quality steel bars asmanufactured in Saudi Arabia - and nowexported from there far outside the region- solves that one.

And the huge range of state-of-the-artadditives, many of them now manufacturedand exported from here too - deals withmost of the other problems associated withthis most versatile of materials.

These include admixture chemicalswhich aid setting under water, modifypermeability and thermal insulationproperties, allow precise tailoring of flowqualities and slump resistance, facilitatebonding to itself and to other materials,and allow the incorporation of usefulinsulating (and cost-saving) voids.

The best place to see these manypossibilities in concrete form, as it were, isat any of the large local building tradeexhibitions such as The Big 5 (Dubai, 5-8November) and Saudi Build (Riyadh, 11-14November), and most of all in Las Vegasitself (where of course the three-yearly

Conexpo-Con/Agg takes place (nextedition 4-8 March 2014).

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

SeminarsThis year, for example, the three-hourlinked-seminar sessions it provided

included events covering - amongst others- concrete production, repair, decorativeapplication, uses in floors and slabs,applications in association with masonry,concrete in the home, and combinedcement/concrete/masonrybusiness/project management.

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

top-quality pavements.It should be emphasised that these are

mostly linked ‘tracks’ rather thanindividual events – so Las Vegas this yearwas a place to pick up a huge range ofhints and tips about how to make asuccess of your concrete business overall,whatever its specialisation.

Many made up formal certificationrequirements such as ACI FlatworkFinishing, ACPA Pump Operating and ICRISlab Moisture Testing. ■

The World of Concrete event offers manyin-depth training opportunities

Cement is a very costlymaterial to shift,

whether in bulk or bags

ORGANISERS OF THE annual World ofConcrete show in Las Vegas have launchedtheir promotion campaign for next year’sevent, highlighting the recent advances inthe industry and emphasising the keyeducative role of the show.

There have been many developmentsregarding concrete in recent years, includingaccelerators and curing-retardants,geopolymers, screed levelling, formworkand batching plant design, sealants andreinforcement, chemical admixtures andmoisture/mix measurement and control. Oiland gas applications are also another areaof specialisation. A key focus for currentresearch is the repair of various types ofweather damage and trauma damage, bothcosmetic and structural along with the useof concrete in advanced fire-control design.

The source materials and technologiesused for concrete are constantly evolving.Global cement production today focuseson production efficiency and energyeconomics, which gives the gas-fuelledgrinders of North Africa and the Gulf a bigadvantage. The greater part of the non-FarEastern world’s demand is being

generated in this region, due to largetransportation costs.

Reinforcement has been a keydevelopment in the industry. Concrete is anextremely strong material when fully curedand in compression, but poor on its ownunder tension. A solution for this is theincorporation of high-quality steel bars,manufactured in Saudi Arabia and nowexported far outside the region. Moreover,the Kingdom produces a huge range ofstate-of-the-art additives which deal with

most of the other problems associated withthis versatile material. These includeadmixture chemicals which aid settingunder water, modify permeability andthermal insulation properties, allow precisetailoring of flow qualities and slumpresistance, facilitate bonding to itself and toother materials, and allow the incorporationof useful insulating (and cost-saving) voids.

However, World of Concrete is importantbecause of the many in-depth trainingopportunities it offers, organisers say.

Project Status

Project Scope

Jabal Omar Development Company plans to build a

real estate development in front of the Grand Mosque

in Makkah. There will be fifteen towers that will

range between 22 and 26 floors. Jabal Omar

Development Company's masterplan covers one

million square metres and includes the construction

of six five-star hotels. Once the construction of the

hotels are accomplished, they will be able to

accommodate approximately up to 40,000 residents.

The project, which will cost approximately $2.7

billion, will be a part of major developments that is

transforming the city. The joint venture of Saudi

Binladin Group and Saudi Oger is also involved in the

development of the real estate project. Jadwa

Investment, which was established two years ago and

has a capital of $1.6 billion, revealed their plans to

finance large scale projects in the Kingdom and

provide companies with financial consultancy

services. They also disclosed that their first project is

with Saudi Aramco.

The Jabal Omar Development Company (JODC) is a

real estate investment, development and property

manager of Jabal Omar, a pilgrimage-related

residential and commercial property near the Grand

Mosque of Mecca. The land and infrastructure part of

the project, which covers an area of 230,000 square

metres (approximately 2.5 million square feet), is

expected to cost $3.2 billion. It is expected to be

completed within 30 months, which will be

approximately in 2010.

The project also includes five-star hotels with 935

rooms, six three star hotels consisting of 1,255

rooms, over an area of 244,800 square metres, 4,360

commercial and retail centers, 4,500 shops and 3,000

showrooms, 520 restaurants, a central transport

station and parking facility for 12,000 vehicles and

covered air conditioned plazas and open courtyard

prayer facilities for 202,000 worshipers. It also

includes the construction of 20 storey residential

buildings to accommodate 100,000 people.

Close industry sources within the company reveal

that the real estate development plan includes a

number of residential towers and 40 hotels. The $3.2

billion project is located in a mountainous area close

to the Grand Mosque. The towers will accommodate

34,500 pilgrims, with an area covering 230,000

square meters. It will create a model residential and

commercial center with new roads, pathways,

tunnels, electric stairs, and other facilities.

Furthermore, the real estate development project will

create prayer areas for 78,000 worshipers and will be

linked to the Grand Mosque’s sound system. These

prayer areas could be considered an indirect

expansion of the mosque. Industry sources close to

the project has also revealed that the client has

taken into consideration the environment and the

topography of the area.

The ground breaking development for the second

largest project after the Haram expansion was started

two years ago (in 2007). Concrete mix started flowing

to the foundations of four towers overlooking the

Ibrahim Street and two towers on the Umm Al Qura

road today. It was a race against time to sign many

agreements with various companies for utilities such

as telephone, water and sewage system to

simultaneously serve 45,000 pilgrims.

Jabal Omar Development Company also held several

discussions with top executives of the Hilton hotel for

Project FinanceJabal Omar Development Company plans to build a real estate development in

front of the Grand Mosque in Makkah. The project, which will cost approximately

$2.7 billion, will be a part of major developments that is transforming the city. The

joint venture of Saudi Binladin Group and Saudi Oger is also involved in the

development of the real estate project.

Jadwa Investment, which was established two years ago and has a capital of $1.6

billion, revealed their plans to finance large scale projects in the Kingdom and

provide companies with financial consultancy services. They also disclosed that

their first project iss with Saudi Aramco.

The Jabal Omar Development Company (JODC) was established in October 2006

by the Makkah Construction and Development Company with a capital of $1.33

billion and was listed on the Saudi Stock Exchange (Tadawul) in December 2007.

JODC is a real estate investment, development and property manager of Jabal

Omar, a pilgrimage-related residential and commercial property near the Grand

Mosque of Mecca. The Riyadh based company has 150 professionals and four

branches. It is also a joint venture of Saudi Binladin Group, and Saudi Oger.

Industry sources within Premco Ready-Mix have revealed that the company

recently purchased new and advanced equipment worth $76 million from Zahid

Tractor, E A Juffali and Brothers Company, Bekheet for Heavy Machineries and

Alesayi Group, in order to accommodate for their new project requirements. The

new equipment included a modern concrete treatment plant, mobile concrete

mixers, crushers, concrete pumps, trucks and transport vehicles. Furthermore,

Premco Ready-Mix also employs about 500 highly trained workers and technicians

to execute its various projects.

As of early September 2010, as Jabal Omar Development Company’s plans of

placing large sources of funds did not materialize, they started focusing on

procuring a $360 million bridge loan to cover the early stage development of its

real estate project at Makkah. The bridge loan will already be an extension and

increase in size of an existing $93.3 million provided by the local Al Rajhi Bank.

It will be provided by the following local banks:

-- Al Rajhi Bank

-- National Commercial Bank

-- Bank Al Jazira

-- Saudi Hollandi Bank

-- Sabb Bank

Jabal Omar Development Company had hoped to complete around $800 million

of bank financing in the first half of 2010, followed by a $533 million rights

issue in the third quarter of 2010. However, as it is not possible now, they have

opted for the bridge loan, which is expected to be in place by the end of

September 2010, with two larger fundraisings also due to be concluded before

the end of 2010.

In order to place funds for the Makkah real estate project rapidly, the bridge loan

will now be done first and replaced by a $1.33 billion syndicated loan before the

end of the year. The rights issue will then take place in November 2010.

Although Jabal Omar Development Company had hoped to be able to raise the

majority of its funding requirements at around the same time, they have now

realized that it is not possible. Therefore, as an alternative option, they are now

looking at approaching the financing markets in several phases. The syndication

and rights issue could be followed by the Islamic bond (known as sukuk) issue

and a further syndication in 2011.

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

When this loan is replaced by the larger facility, the banking group will be

expanded to include several more Saudi banks with the tenor of the deal

expected to be around seven years.

Industry sources close to the project have also revealed that the bridge loan is

expected to be in place by the end of September 2010, with two larger

fundraisings due to be concluded before the end of 2010.

managing several residential and hotel towers in the

real estate project. The joint venture client is also

studying tenders from various top class hotel

companies such as Sheraton and MovenPick to

manage some of the residential and hotel towers

being built as part of the real estate development

project.

Industry sources closely relate to the project also

reveals that speed is a vital factor for them, as more

than 200 hotels have been demolished in order to

implement the Jabal Omar Development project.

Moreover, the project would also build a mosque to

accommodate 10,000 worshippers and also a

conference hall overlooking the Grand Mosque with a

seating capacity for 2,000 people.

The mixed use project involves construction of 39

residential and hotel towers with heights ranging from

20 to 48 storeys. It will have a total built up area of

1.2 million square metres and once completed, it can

accommodate 45,000 residents and 150,000

worshipers during peak times.

The Jabal Omar Real Estate Development project also

includes 37 towers with a total built up area of 2

million square metres. The scheme will be situated on

a total area covering 230,000 square metres. The

project will include residential, retail and religious

buildings. The total cost of the project could be

around $5.06 billion. Construction companies of the

local Saudi Oger and Saudi Binladin Group, which

have been awarded the main construction contract in

September 2008, have revealed that the mixed use

development project of 15 residential towers and 40

hotels in Makkah will take approximately three years

for completion.
