EDITOR’S NOTE THE INTERNATIONAL ENERGY Agency says global electricity consumption is expected to increase by more than twothirds by 2035. Globally available power supplies are dwindling relative to theoretical demand, and the infrastructure - both generating and transmission/distribution - is ageing fast.

The Gulf states targeted by events like MEE 2014 are central to the Agency’s reasoned (and reasonably likely) ‘New policies’ case for matching overall supply with demand in the long term, and doing so without harming the environment, which would be best served by the IEA’s hoped-for ‘450 [ppm] scenario’. Driven by growth in populations, lifestyles and the national economies in general, power demand in the Arabic-speaking region is set to expand by seven per cent annually all the way through the current decade. All this makes MEE an unmissable event.

Briefly Bahrain tops economic freedom index BAHRAIN IS THE region's most economically free country, according to the annual Index of Economic Freedom published by The Heritage Foundation and the Wall Street Journal. Overall, the Kingdom is ranked 13th out of 178 economies worldwide, between the US and the UK which rank 12th and 14th respectively and is the only MENA country to rank in the top 20.

Iraqi projects ‘frozen’ THE DEPUTY HEAD of the Iraqi businessmen’s association, Tariq Saleh, has said that around 600 major projects worth US$189bn are frozen in Iraq due to the government’s failure to enforce a funds management law.

Islamic banks struggle in Lebanon EIGHT YEARS AFTER the introduction of Islamic banking to Lebanon, and despite efforts by the Central Bank to regulate the industry, Shariahcompliant lenders have yet to make inroads into the country’s thriving and competitive banking sector.

Statistics provided by the Central Bank showed that Islamic banks in Lebanon had US$674mn in total assets in December 2012 and that by November 2013 the amount had only grown to US$712mn, with the four Shariah-compliant banks operating in the country failing to increase their market share by more than one per cent.

Saudi Arabia - ‘a golden opportunity’ SAUDI ARABIA HAS the golden opportunity to attract global investments and is moving in the “right way” to become the leading manufacturing country in the region, said Andrew Liveris, president and CEO of Dow Chemical.

The Dow chief’s remarks came at the Seventh Global Competitiveness Forum in Riyadh.

His work paper focused on manufacturing, partnership, sustainable development, innovation, and industrialisation Observing that each job in a manufacturing plant creates three others, he said advanced manufacture always acted as the engine of innovation, facilitating more than 90 per cent of spending on research.

He said his company had entered into partnership with the Ministry of Commerce and Industry and had jointly worked out a plan for advanced manufacturing in the Kingdom.

Saudi Arabia is one of the leading oil exporting countries but oil alone will not support industrial growth, he said.

The Dow chief also referred to a 40-year-long partnership with Juffali Group.

Saudi Arabia is poised to become the first manufacturing country in the region, notably in creating more jobs and development based on partnership and exploitation of available opportunities, he said.

Mutasim Al-Mashouq, deputy president of Saudi Aramco for business development, traced the history of the company in support of mega projects and entrepreneurship.

Saudi Aramco facilitated entrepreneurs to put forth their industrial plans through the Wa’ed project, which targets small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in the Kingdom, he said.

Andrew Liveris

Speaking at the session, deputy CEO of Saudi Basic Industries Corporation (SABIC) Mutlaq Al-Miraishid said his company had adopted the “Made in Saudi Arabia” concept since its inception.

The petrochemical sector has become robust in the Kingdom, thanks to plans and partnerships concluded between SABIC and other manufacturers, he said.

Meanwhile, Japanese automotive manufacturer Isuzu Motors, in co-operation with the University of Japan, has trained 10,000 automobile technicians as part of an Automotive Cluster in the Kingdom, Saudi Industrial Property Authority (Modon) said.

“The Japanese automobile company Isuzu has trained 10,000 Saudi youth in automobile field and they will be working at various automobile plants and related industries which are expected to come up in Saudi Arabia as part of the Industrial Cluster Development plan of the government in Yanbu Industrial City,” a Modon official said.

Abu Dhabi economy ‘resilient’

Egypt seeks investment in new projects

IN A RECENT report, global ratings agency Moody’s Investors Service has hailed Abu Dhabi’s economic stability and the prudent management of its hydrocarbon wealth, maintaining that Abu Dhabi’s credit strengths include economic resilience to global downturns.

Moody’s says that Abu Dhabi’s Aa2 rating with stable outlook is primarily supported by the management of the proceeds from its vast hydrocarbon reserves. In particular, the rating agency highlights how the proceeds have resulted in structurally large fiscal and external surpluses, a low level of direct government debt and the accumulation of sovereign wealth fund assets. The rating agency’s report is an update to the markets and does not constitute a rating.

EGYPT IS GOING through a turnaround phase and requires critical investment in new projects and infrastructure, Osama Saleh, Egypt's minister of investment, said during his recent visit to the Mall of the Emirates in Dubai.

"Retail and entertainment is a key contributor to the Egyptian economy, and projects such as Mall of Egypt are exactly what we need to boost the Osama Saleh sector," Saleh added.

The minister's visit came as Majid Al-Futtaim progresses its development of the Mall of Egypt in Cairo, which represents an

Technical Review Middle East - Issue Six 2013

investment of US$704mn. The Mall of Egypt will comprise a gross leasable area of 172,000 square metres offering a premium shopping and entertainment experience to Egypt's community. "Egypt is a key expansion market for us and we have several other investments in the pipeline, including the expansion of Maadi City Centre and the development of a new shopping center in Almaza. Overall, our planned investments for Egypt amount to more than US$2.5bn," said Iyad Malas, CEO, Majid Al-Futtaim Holding. www.technicalreview.me

Executive Strategy

Epoc Messe Frankfurt’s plan to up the ante Following the success of this year’s security, safety and fire protection exhibition Intersec, Epoc Messe Frankfurt talks to Technical Review about blazing ahead with its expansion plans and how to unlock the Middle East’s potential.

“The overall strategic directive is that we should have €800mn of turnover by 2020”

C

LOSE TO 25,000 visitors from more than 130 countries passed through the doors of the Dubai World Trade Centre last month during the security, safety and fire protection trade show Intersec, making it the largest edition in the show’s 16 year history.

With approximately 1,200 exhibitors from across 54 countries, Intersec has proven itself to be a truly international and crucial trade fair within the security industry,

Technical Review Middle East - Issue One 2014

according to Epoc Messe Frankfurt, the world leading exhibition and conference organiser behind the three-day event.

Speaking to Technical Review about when Intersec was first launched in the 1990s, Epoc Messe Frankfurt chief executive officer Ahmed Pauwels said, “It was totally new in the portfolio, it was the first time we had encountered a security-related topic and it was so successful that we are now doing it across seven locations.”

Executive Strategy

He added, “It has been growing from strength to strength in recent years, but after the major success of this most recent edition we can well and truly say that Intersec is an essential trade exhibition of the international security fraternity.”

The show organiser is a subsidiary of German government-owned Messe Frankfurt, a company recognised for duplicating the biggest and best of its trade shows around the globe to maximum effect.

Automechanika is one such example; first launched in Germany, the exhibition is now hosted in 14 locations as well as being the Middle East’s largest automotive aftermarket trade fair.

Intersec, on the other hand, broke the mould by starting life in Dubai and

“Dubai is the only place in the world where visitors and exhibitors are sitting next to each other on the aeroplane” clearly acknowledging the value of maximising its business potential in the region in light of the possible slowing down of demand in Europe and the US. The aim is to grow almost 50 per cent over the next 18 months. The plan includes boosting the Dubai office headcount from 76 to 112 and - building on the success of last year - Intersec, Automechanika and

More than 24,000 visitors and 1,200 exhibitors attended this year’s Intersec

expanding outwards to new locations with a reach today as far as Asia and Russia.

According to Pauwels, the size of the show in terms of square metres and numbers of attendees has undergone a similar growth with a steady climb of 20-25 per cent over the past four years.

Pauwels stated, “This show within two to three years should be able to fill the whole venue of the Trade Centre.”

Epoc Messe Frankfurt’s big players, Intersec, Automechanika and Beautyworld, all together experienced growth of approximately 20 per cent in 2013.

The company is keen to continue the upwards climb as it recently adopted a strategic expansion plan with the aim of strengthening its presence in the Middle East and North Africa and establishing itself as a leading exhibition and conference organiser. By doing so the company is

Beautyworld will each see the addition of three production managers and a brand development manager.

Despite boasting a global network of 28 subsidiaries and being present in 150 countries worldwide, business in Germany is still generating 60 per cent of Messe Frankfurt’s overall revenue. The parent company obviously feels there is more room to maximise on its overseas activity.

“It’s an international effort,” explained Pauwels. “The overall strategic directive is that we should have €800mn (US$1,094mn) turnover by 2020 and that means as a group we are going to have to put all our efforts internationally and in Germany to grow.”

He believes the key to capitalising on the MENA region’s potential lies in Dubai and its status as an international trading hub.

“Our main focus is to have visitors from the whole MENA region and that’s why

Technical Review Middle East - Issue One 2014

Dubai is so important,” he said.

“Dubai is the only place in the world where visitors and exhibitors are sitting next to each other on the aeroplane. It’s really very unique.”

But with many of its shows well into their second decade, how does a exhibition keep visitors getting back on the plane each time much less increase those figures?

“The trick with exhibitions is that a visitor wants to see innovation, they want to see new products, they don’t want to go to the same show every year. They really need to see new components to make it worth their while,” said Pauwels.

For example, when Intersec was first launched its primary focus was fire-related products and some digital security products.

Whereas today its inventory also includes homeland security, a forensics department, several conferences as well as a Small and Medium Enterprise (SME) pavilion. Looking forward and Epoc Messe Frankfurt also plans to feature more policing and aviation security at future editions of the show.

The SME pavilion is a government initiative intended to support young entrepreneurs by providing space where they can showcase new products and ideas.

“It’s a test for us,” Pauwels said. “We think this is the best way to stimulate the local economy and allow new entrepreneurs to grow their business and eventually we hope they become a client.”

Considering the recent successful growth of its top shows, the plans for substantial expansion over the coming years, as well as the mention that one of its big names will be replicated in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia in the distant future, it is no surprise Epoc Messe Frankfurt is confidence not only about the company but the future of the exhibition industry on the whole.

When asked about the relevance of trade shows in the modern world Pauwels said, “Visitors still want to feel the product, they want to talk to the exhibitor, look them in the eyes and see if they’re trust worthy and they want to find innovation in a limited platform.

“As far as I see it trade shows will still be relevant for at least 20 years.” ■

Science and Technology (KAUST).

Snehal Desai, global business director for Dow Water & Process Solutions, said, “Investments in Saudi Arabia represent a big step forward in our 30-year commitment to the region, and a tremendous opportunity for Dow to better serve its customers with strong R&D and commercial manufacturing facilities.

“Our presence in the region strengthens our ability to address the area’s unique water needs and provides us with access to emerging markets, such as Eastern Europe, China and Southeast Asia,” Desai added.

The reverse osmosis manufacturing facility will deliver a secure supply of water desalination and water re-use technologies for potable, non-potable and industrial water serving Saudi Arabia, the MENA region and emerging markets worldwide, Dow said.

“High-performance DOW FILMTEC elements are used in some of the most water-challenged areas of the world, including the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. A great example of this is the Shoaiba Barge Seawater Reverse Osmosis (SWRO) plant, which is among the country’s largest desalination plants of its kind,” Desai said.

As part of its collaboration agreement initiated in 2009 with KAUST, Dow has announced a large-scale pilot plant that will serve as a water technology research centre beginning in Q2 2014.

With access to seawater from the Red Sea, scientists will use the Dow Industrial Scale Water and Process Solutions Pilot Plant to test real-world scenarios at industry scale to further advance water filtration and purification, Dow said.

Is a move to the cloud good or bad for IT? IT’s role in the cloud is more important than ever, says Joe Staples, chief marketing officer and senior vice president of marketing at Interactive Intelligence Group.

Carefully plan out what applications or functions you move to the cloud

B

Y EVERY MEASUREMENT, the cloud is growing rapidly and is here to stay. In many cases, the move to the cloud has been financially motivated – primarily driven by the CFO or CEO. There are those forward thinking IT directors or CIOs who have embraced the cloud for the host of benefits is brings to the organization. Still, regardless of the source or driver for the move, a shift to the cloud has left many a person with IT on their

Technical Review Middle East - Issue One 2014

business card wondering if this is a good thing or a bad thing for them personally.

For IT leaders and team members, the cloud doesn’t mean dust off the GMAT prep book and look for a career change.

Running software on premises or having the solution hosted in the cloud doesn’t change the fact that IT remains in charge of the company’s technology. A few years ago as Interactive Intelligence first began our shift as a vendor toward the cloud, I was

presenting at a conference and I made the statement, when discussing cloud benefits that, “The cloud allows you to move the responsibility for the technology off to a third-party, allowing you to focus on the core of your business instead of managing IT.”

Joe Staples

Make sure your business objectives are driving your technology decisions I still think my underlying point was a good one, but someone came up afterwards and justifiably corrected my choice of words.

He said, “A move to the cloud doesn’t ‘move the responsibility’ anywhere. At the end of the day, I’m still responsible for the success of our technology projects.” He was right!

So I’ve changed my thinking. IT is the responsible party. And what the cloud allows is for IT to share some of that day-to-day technology management with a trusted vendor. With this viewpoint, I believe there are four primary factors that can make the shift to the cloud a positive one for IT. • Recognise that moving to the cloud is very much like creating a partnership with another company. You are, after all, moving valuable applications and critical data into their trust. Looking at it as a partnership allows you to constantly make sure that the cloud provider is looking after your valuable data the way a good partner would.

• Make sure your business objectives are driving your technology decisions, usage, and timelines, and not the other way around.

The cloud provider isn’t ever going to understand your business the way you do. You are the one who must properly convey those business objectives and then work with your cloud partner to determine the best possible solutions.

• Don’t allow compromises on the part of the cloud vendor. In other words, a move to the cloud needs to be a step forward in what you are able to deliver to users and customers. IT needs to play the critical role of ensuring that that is exactly what is being gained in the move to the cloud.

• Carefully plan out what applications or functions you move to the cloud, and what levels of security are required for each. A move to the cloud could very well be the smartest move your

business has ever made relative to technology consumption.

Yet, that doesn’t mean you need to move everything as fast as it can be moved. You control the plan and you are the one who dictates the speed of the cloud shift. A weighty responsibility… again, that isn’t one to delegate to a third party.

• So if your cloud move involves the contact centre, unified communications, back office CRM, or other significant technologies, IT’s role shifts a bit. You won’t have as much responsibility for day-to-day management and maintenance, but in its place comes an elevated responsibility to be the one who orchestrates the move to make sure it all works. ■

Etisalat aims to empower SMEs ETISALAT IS AIMING to play a bigger role in empowering small- to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the UAE. “SMEs are growing at a faster pace than any other segment and have become a fundamental part of the UAE economy. The segment is the fastest growing contributor to the GDP,” Ayman Ebrahim Al Dessouky, chief sales officer at Etisalat, said after launching a major new commitment to the SME sector.

He said there are more than 250,000 SMEs in the UAE and according to studies, only six per cent of them have an e-commerce presence.

“We have a strategy at Etisalat to support and empower SMEs to grow by providing tools and propositions and [helping] them develop their businesses. The strategy was put in place two years ago and we are implementing part of it by providing competitive infrastructure solutions,” Al Dessouky said.

Yamuna’s new facility in Ras Al Khaimah has significantly expanded the company’s production capacity in the Middle East

Yamuna opens cable jointing facility in RAK Yamuna Cable Accessories is now focusing on increasing its footprint across the Middle East following the launch of a new manufacturing facility in Ras Al Khaimah

Y

AMUNA CABLE ACCESSORIES enters 2014 with a spring in its step and the capacity to manufacture more products for its customers in the Middle East, following the recent inauguration of a brand new production facility in the UAE emirate of Ras Al Khaimah. Ravi Sardana, CEO of parent company Yamuna Densons, discusses the impact the new plant will have on the company's ambitious expansion plans for the MENA region and the new products the cable jointing accessories supplier is looking to introduce to the market in the coming months.

Technical Review ME: Can you tell us about the size and scale of your new facility in the UAE and how it will help your plans for growth in the Middle East?

Ravi Sardana: The size of our plant in Ras Al Khaimah Free Trade Zone (RAKFTZ) is 2,500 sqm and it has the capacity to produce 750-1,000 power cable jointing

kits per day for all types of power cables up to 33 kV. We have adequate and skilled manpower to achieve our production targets, and a minimum experience of between five to 10 years at our parent plant. We also have the scope to increase capacity at the plant in the future.

TRME: Why do you feel RAKFTZ was the right place to open your regional office in the Middle East?

Sardana: The UAE acts as the business hub of the GCC and wider MENA region and, with the large number of head offices of major contractors within the country, it is the ideal place for us to expand our footprint.

We also chose the UAE as we are already a serious competitor and supplier within the regional market for cable jointing accessories. As we sell to most of the utility providers and contractors within the region, there can be no better way of expanding our business than by being closer to our customers.

Technical Review Middle East - Issue One 2014

TRME: How does the opening of this new outfit in with your regional expansion plans?

Sardana: We plan to expand by targeting new domestic market segments, such as national oil companies, petrochemical companies, and other industrial and commercial sectors. We also plan to introduce new products to the region in the form of cable accessories and silicone insulators.

We have found willingness and an openness in the utilities sector towards welcoming new technologies that can reduce the skills and time required for installation and that also offer added value.

TRME: Is the opening of your new office a sign of the growing influence Indian businesses have across the Middle East and is it reflective of a growing consumer confidence globally in Indian products?

Sardana: Opening a new facility in the UAE is a step in the direction of growth in a region that Yamuna has been serving for

more than 20 years. To suggest that it is part of the growing influence of Indian manufacturers in the region is not entirely relevant, however, Indian manufacturers do provide efficient yet reasonably priced products. India is becoming an important R&D and manufacturing hub for all global manufacturers in the power T&D arena.

Having said that, I would like to add that the UAE and markets across the wider GCC region do not discriminate in regards to the nationality of a product, as long as it can offer the right value and meets the technical requirements to operate sustainably within the region’s working conditions.

TRME: Will the new facility offer additional benefits to your customers in terms of training opportunities, product options and maintenance?

Sardana: Once they have been fitted into the distribution network, our products are maintenance free and require no service.

What is essential for our products to perform better in the field and to outlive their expected life span is the skill of the installer. We will provide training to our

distributors and end-users on the right skills for installation, certifying their skills and carrying out periodical audits to revalidate their skills.

We will also use our platform in the UAE to have closer contact with our customers, so that we can understand their concerns and what they seek in terms of products, as well as updating them regularly on new technologies and products. Proximity to the customer will definitely generate confidence and higher sales.

Sardana: Yes, definitely. While there is scope for other complementary products that can be introduced in the region, we are also serious about learning from customers and their experiences, in order to make our products more user-friendly.

The biggest challenge our customers face today lies in finding trained jointers and installers. Our new generation of products, which are simpler and quicker to install, are factory tested and come ready to use with more stability, robustness and performance. â–

Briefly ERP survey unveils barriers to manufacturers EPICOR SOFTWARE CORPORATION says a new IDC Manufacturing Insights White Paper sponsored by Epicor titled, ‘Get Customers Inspired - A Call to Action for High-Tech Manufacturers,’ reveals barriers between high-tech manufacturing companies not utilising modern enterprise resource planning (ERP) solutions to full capacity and the driving factors to implement a customer experience strategy. The high-tech manufacturing industry is a consumer-driven, fast paced sector where success is influenced by meeting those consumer expectations at the end of the value chain. Survey results from the report, uncovered the majority of high-tech manufacturers are limited in utilizing their modern ERP solutions and understanding how technology innovation can drive greater customer experience.

Zamil A/C develops new chiller ZAMIL AIR CONDITIONERS, a subsidiary of Zamil Industrial Investment Company (Zamil Industrial) and the leading manufacturer and service provider of air conditioning systems in the Middle East, has successfully commissioned the first ever water cooled Turbocor Centrifugal chiller in the Middle East.

This innovative chiller was designed and produced by Geoclima, a strategic business unit of Zamil Air Conditioners and leading Italian manufacturer of air conditioning systems. The Turbocor Chiller is water cooled, ranges in capacity from 370 tons up to 1,300 tons, and comes with an array of extraordinary features. These chillers are suitable for both commercial and light industrial chilled water applications.

Soaring demand

Doing global business the power of good One of the world’s largest exhibitions celebrating the production, distribution and use of electricity – again hosting many of the biggest names in the industry - is about to be held in Dubai, from 11-13 February.

MEE has established itself as the region’s very best place to make new contacts in the demanding field of electrical businesses

D

RIVEN BY GROWTH in populations, lifestyles and the national economies in general power demand in the Arabic-speaking region is set to expand by seven per cent annually all the way through the current decade, according to a 25-page report from the EIU, MENA’s electric power supplies to 2020, sponsored by Abu Dhabi’s Masdar Institute.

This growth will be accompanied by a substantial increase in lucrative crossborder electricity trading as a result of the completion of the final links in the longawaited Gulf Grid interconnection.

Lucrative Other experts independently suggest that this expansion in both supply and met demand will be facilitated by, indeed only possible as a result of, investments

measured in millions of dollars by the same time. This massive spend will have to be divided roughly equally between generation and less glamorous transmission/distribution if the national utilities are to keep up. ‘A lucrative growth market for anyone working in the power market’ is how the Informa Energy Group, the experienced organisers of Middle East Electricity (MEE) 2014, succinctly put it. All that extra power means a host of new consumer devices to effectively convert it into services nationals and guest workers need.

‘Soaring demand and rapid industrial developments are the prime factors that have fuelled the growth of the electricity industry… MEE is the largest and longest running power event in the region – and one of the largest in the world.

‘We are now looking forward to a www.technicalreview.me

successful 2014 edition, which will host some of the biggest names in the global energy industry.’

Over nearly four successful decades of near-continuous growth MEE has established itself as the region’s very best place to make new contacts in the demanding field of electrical businesses, both heavy and consumer orientated.

‘The buyer comes to you’ as the organisers put it. They ‘make a conscious decision to attend, and set aside valuable time to do so.’ Accurately targeted events like the exclusive seminars outlined below allow suppliers to reach a significant proportion of the market – people who really want to know about products, possibly anonymously, in a short one-stop space of time.

Free to attend by all registered visitors to MEE, a continuous and precisely timed programme of technical seminars can be consulted for your own specific interest(s) on the show website listed here.

Many leading suppliers exhibiting at this key regional event are particularly keen to reach potential clients and customers via these useful 60-minute slots which incorporate customer Q&A sessions at the end, knowing that two-thirds of all MEE registrants in the past have been senior executives, engineers and/or buyers, and a further quarter describe themselves as either manufacturers or contractors. A highly influential potential audience in terms of sales leads therefore.

In addition Informa have arranged for this year’s event a special ‘Future generation’ competition (note the double meaning) designed to attract the attention of engineering undergraduates with any kind of electrical interests – especially ‘green’ ones - throughout MENA. Alternative energy, efficient use of energy including all electrical forms in particular, and energy conservation in general are the selected fields for entries in 2014; the website carries essential entry and other information about eligible criteria.

Two complementary one-day conferences have been specially planned to provide a welcome reflective and contact-making break from the inevitable bustle and razzamatazz always generated by MEE’s enthusiastic trade exhibitors. On the first day the Second Green Energy Conference is being staged in the Dubai exhibition complex, built on last year’s very positive experience of a highly popular event which delivered coverage of both leadership and innovation issues in the generation of

www.middleeastelectricity.com

Soaring demand and rapid industrial developments are the prime factors that have fuelled the growth of the electricity industry power not based on fossil fuels, and of energy conservation/efficient use matters in general.

The conference-hall package attracted 300 delegates in 2013, and as a result of feedback this year more attention will be paid to the global challenges that have been clearly identified by institutions such as Abu Dhabi’s Masdar (eg, making solar power a really competitive 24-hour solution) and the various OECD-country power grids (such as getting the level of subsidy adequate but not excessive to encourage rival offshore wind, the region’s Cinderella technology that is now growing in popularity in North Africa). Free to attend, the 2014 Green debate will include a new Leaders Panel involving top utility officials from Saudi Arabia and Oman, and executives from international engineering majors like

Technical Review Middle East - Issue One 2014

Schneider Electric and GE, all focusing on the meeting of such major challenges.

Efficiency savings Included will be a special case-study profile of the huge local alumina-smelting operation run by Dubal which has now promoted energy conservation and efficiency savings right to the top of its operating agenda.

The aluminium company’s vice president Tayeb M Al Awadhi, a top firm of international management accountants and a senior representative of Dubai’s ‘Vision for a sustainable future’ programme will all be taking part in this must-attend sustainability get-together.

On the second day of the MEE 2014 conferences the object will be specifically solar with a Middle East focus, featuring a confident ‘Unlimited energy, unlimited opportunity’ theme. In North Africa the huge and still evolving Desertec scheme is almost entirely based on this sustainable German-supported solution; Saudi Arabia is unrolling the world’s largest single combined photovoltaic and CSP (mirrorbased) programme; and few now argue that the exploitation of guaranteed generous hours of the world’s most intense sunshine is not the key to the Gulf’s largest underexploited development potential.

Sponsors of this key event in 2014 include EnPark, members of the booming Emirates Solar Industries Association, and the European Federation of Energy Traders.

sectors MEE 2014 is the must-attend event for you.’

The specialised Informa Energy team which will also be partnering local exhibition organisers REC in putting on the complementary Saudi Energy tradecum-technical event in Riyadh from 26-28 May next (see www.saudi-energy.com), along with a similar event in equally buoyant OPEC-member Nigeria. ■

Middle East Electricity basics SUPPORTED BY STRATEGIC partners ADWEA and the city authorities themselves the 39th Middle East Electricity will be open to visitors to Dubai’s International Exhibition Centre from 11-13 February (all details including conference programmes at www.middleeastelectricity.com). Other key supporters of this huge exhibition and multiple conference event this year include the Emirates Green Building Council, Society of Engineers – UAE, Environmental Center for Arab Towns, Clean Energy Business Council and Energy Institute Middle East.

With such powerful backing from institutions and NGOs more than 1,200 commercial exhibitors from 100 countries are expected in anticipation of an entry-gate throughput that could this year possibly exceed 50,000.

At the time of putting this preview together, along with the show’s leading advertisers that it has attracted, collective space for more than 20 individual national pavilions had been booked, including major co-ordinated displays from manufacturers and other suppliers based in China, all of

Europe’s largest countries, India, the Republic of Korea, Saudi Arabia and the USA. The Istanbul TET Exporters Association is taking part this year as a Gold sponsor and the familiar ‘Made in Germany’ promotional brand will this year be featuring no less than 83 national exhibitors assembled by the trade associations AUMA, ZVEI and others.

ERMANY’S ZVEI TRADE association (electro-technical products) always assembles a splendid collection of high-tech commercial and institutional exhibits for MEE – more than 80 this year. Rather than reproduce a selection of the commercial news releases that accompany this, Technical Review has decided this year to look at some of Germany’s many renowned developments in a wider context.

Pointing out, for example, that German institutions like Deutsche Bank and Munich Re are behind the game-changing Desertec scheme now being implemented

in North Africa (export of mainly solar power via undersea HVDC lines to Europe).

And that Germany is sometimes described as the world’s first renewable energy economy, aiming to generate more than one-third of its power from renewable resources by 2020.

‘Energiewende’ (transition) is the term used to describe this phenomenon; visible signs of it are apparent as soon as visitors leave the airport, and the MEE exhibition’s increasingly renewable emphasis is just the place to sample it.

association with the Technical University of Munich - both strong supporters of renewables - have predicted that global demand for electrical power is set to increase on average by nearly three per cent per year over the next decade and a half. Details were released at last year’s World Energy Congress in South Korea.

In this global energy-prospects study Siemens examined different regional situations, including the Middle East’s, with allowances being made for predicted future developments in individual markets. “The aim was to determine what approaches are best suited from national and global perspectives for creating

reliable and sustainable energy systems with high efficiency but still at affordable power prices,� said Alfons Benziger of the company’s Energy Sector group. “Cumulatively, this moderate growth will cause overall power demand to rise by more than half of its current level between now and 2030. If new power plants are added as foreseeable, associated carbon dioxide emissions are likely to increase by a quarter, or 3,500 megatons.�

Climate balance Subsidiary findings are that using natural gas instead of coal for increases in generation could reduce total emissions

from power stations compared to today’s levels, and that dispensing with coal-fired generation technology completely would prevent emissions exceeding those currently produced throughout the 28 countries of the European Union.

Siemens’ Energy Sector CEO comments that the 2013 study looked at specifically local situations and needs around the world. “It is equally apparent that all-out expansion of renewable energy sources alone does not automatically improve the climate balance, as rising CO2 emissions in Germany impressively highlight. On the other hand, shutting down ageing coalfired power plants not only reduces emissions significantly, but can also make economic sense, as has been proven in the United States.�

The 2013 study showed that all countries fit ‘fairly comfortably’ into one of just five energy-context categories: • 'Green pioneers' in countries like Germany with only slowly rising demand for power, where renewables are highly regarded

• Traditionalists in the same first, but not second, group • Energy-hungry nations where rapidly increasing demand has been matched by a high level of electrification • Next-wave electrifiers where there are still major gaps in supply to households ‘Oil-export maximisers’ where the goal is to enhance efficiency in oil/gas exploration by electricity-supply means where necessary.

Most MENA countries seem to come into one of the last three; interim analyses of results including those for the Middle East are available at www.siemens.com/wec Developments in China will be critical to the outcome of all attempts to reduce carbon emissions was also one of the report’s major findings.

Developments Finally, down at the consumer end there is a constant stream of developments from this country that make the use of electricity ever more efficient. The German Pavilion is the place to see some of these. For example we have independently heard of a new device that can ward off electromagnetic attacks on Big Data equipment, as used by the IT networks employed by banks and trading houses worldwide and not least in the Dubai Financial Centre. This has been developed by Germany’s Fraunhofer INT Institute (for Technological Trend Analysis). Researchers have come up with a black-box type instrument that can measure very high electromagnetic field strengths from ultra short pulses, thereby detecting an invisible

www.zvei.org/en

attempt at attack without incurring any physical damage itself. Duration, type of attack and its source location can all be recorded in real time by employing a quartet of specialised antennae which permanently monitor the electromagnetic environment around the critical device. A computer connected by fibre optics receives the warning signal, interprets and assesses it and displays the result on a screen.

Research has shown that criminal gangs have become adept at mounting these highly

localised attacks by means of portable microwave sources, taking advantage of the disruption caused to overcome ICT alarm systems and sidestep other protective procedures. At best the result can be system downtime and many unhappy clients; at worst a transportation accident or even an effective heist. The phenomenon has been exploited by the developers of commercial gaming software, but effective shields against such locally produced radiation are costly to both design and install. ■

Getting the light right Modern illumination can transform the sales or rental prospects of a modern development. Designers and contractors come from all over the world to see what’s new at MEE.

I

NSTALLING OPTIMUM LIGHTING can ensure the commercial success of a modern residential development or refurbishment. Luminaire fixtures and fittings, their controls and their locations should all be designed to complement the lifestyles of potential occupants. When planning the wiring, switches and access points developers need to be able to predict what activities will be taking place where, and when.

Food preparation and study, for example, need better and more intensified illumination than leisure and entertainment activities. Remember the impact on natural light of door and window openings, but

always leave the choice of furnishing fabrics and other colour schemes/decorative features to the purchasers or tenants. And when in doubt seek out the services of a lighting specialist, as now employed by some go-ahead equipment suppliers in the Gulf. He or she will always take into account the availability or otherwise of natural daylight.

A good specialist will start out by asking what you want the lighting fixtures and fittings to achieve, expecting a different answer for different positions within the development. The different types of lighting are usually described as ‘general background’, ‘task orientated’ and ‘mood’.

Imaginative lighting can transform a buillding

Impressive General lighting, usually but not always centrally placed and fixed overhead, provides overall illumination without any troubling and distracting glare, and suitable for all members of the household. It provides comfort and safety whenever natural illumination is inadequate, and can provide an impressive ‘wow’ factor, as displayed in the entrance halls of many Gulf hotels. Usually left on for extended periods of time, even permanently, and therefore ideally suited to non-incandescent lamps, it is often designed to be supplemented with smaller localised appliances that provide focused illumination for specific tasks as and when required.

Use the opportunity of this year’s MEE to investigate the information and services offered by the world’s lightingindustry trade associations Functional task-orientated illumination is designed to be switched on and off as required, allowing the occupants to carry out physical activities such as playing, reading, writing or hobby craftwork. There are many specific types of fitting available, some of these designed to be permanently attached and others moveable around the room, or even the entire residence. The quality of such task lighting is important, and some of the latest LED and compact

fluorescent devices provide an excellent match with natural daylight.

The important thing with task lighting is to avoid shadows and distracting glare without losing readability. Generally the older the users are the more important the location and quality of this type of lighting is.

Energy efficient Finally there is mood lighting, called ‘accent’ in North America. Often provided in the form of a wall-mounted fitting or recess, this is designed to create a lasting and appropriate impression once the space is entered, even sometimes to invite it as in a hospitality suite. It can be used to create a specific mood – sometimes enhanced by recorded music or other multimedia means – and when well designed will draw the occupants’ attention to a decorative feature such as a water sculpture, an outside view, artwork,

A good specialist will start out by asking what you want the lighting fixtures and fittings to achieve a certificate or other presentation, a living plant or a public speaker. Dentists and other medical specialists often use carefully lit aquariums for this purpose.

Use the opportunity of this year’s MEE to investigate the information and services offered by the world’s specialised lightingindustry trade associations. We don’t know which ones are attending yet, but looking out for displays by the American Lighting Association, LightingEurope and India’s ELCOMA Manufacturers’ Association will be a good start.

Whatever combination of types of illumination chosen the sources of light

Mood lighting - designed to create a lasting impression

supplied, sometimes referred to generically as ‘bulbs’, should be adequately matched to purpose. Their installation needs to be designed in terms of the amount of power they consume, the varying amounts of light and heat produced, the efficiency of the device (how many lumens are produced from each watt of input), and the amount of useful light that actually reaches the subject when it is needed.

Energy efficient light sources like fluorescents and LEDs are universally approved of by energy specialists these days, both in terms of power consumption and the life of the devices themselves, and by utility companies amongst others – but in some ‘ambience’ circumstances the warm glow of a traditional incandescent can still hit the right note. Various add-on reflective treatments can be used to boost the energy efficiency of these.

A good lighting designer will consider the frequency and difficulty of fitting new and replacement sources, as well as automated controls that sense movement and switch themselves off when the luminaire is not in use.

Research in various countries has shown that up to one-tenth of the electricity used in a modern home can be used to energise the lighting circuits alone. Power is an increasingly scarce resource everywhere, especially now that so many older generating stations are having to be retired. Choosing the right fixtures and fittings can make a big difference to the load placed on your local utility; the Lighting section of MEE is the best place to see the widest selection available anywhere today. ■

Saudi Arabia eyes major power and water investment SAUDI ARABIA IS planning to invest nearly SR134bn (US$36.8bn) in water and electricity projects in 2014 to help resolve a rapid rise in domestic demand, the Gulf kingdom’s water and electricity minister has said.

Abdul Rahman Al Hussein said the investments include SR100bn (US$26.6bn) for power projects and SR34bn (US$9bn) for water.

He also said the world’s largest oil exporter is pushing ahead with plans to “fragment” the giant government-controlled Saudi

Technical Review Middle East - Issue One 2014

electricity company (STC) into four firms to cope with the new projects and the surge in power demand.

“STC has an autonomous budget and we have already allocated SR100bn (US$26.6bn) for the projects which we will carry out in 2014… they include new power plants, completion of projects under construction and maintenance of existing units,” the minister told the London-based Saudi Arabic language daily Asharqalawsat.

Annual growth in demand is forecast at nine per cent.

Nuclear era almost a reality

A cheaper option

Within four years the first of the UAE’s reactors should be producing electricity at an estimated quarter of the cost of traditional gas-fired stations. Other MENA utilities are keen to benefit too.

W The UAE is fully committed to a dualtrack radioactive waste-management strategy that will require the development of a national storage and disposal programme

ITH SITEWORK NOW under way for the second of four (total generating capacity 5.6 GWe) commercial reactors at Barakah (Braka) in Abu Dhabi the UAE can claim pole position in the Middle East’s burgeoning nuclear power programme. The US$20.4bn project (probably costing half as much again when necessary infrastructure and financing arrangements are taken into account) is being carried out by a South Korean consortium, and the final generating unit should be operational within 2020. May 2017 is given as the landmark start-up date for the Gulf’s first nuclear reactor, rated at 1400 MWe. It was only as recently as 2007 that the GCC member countries jointly agreed with the International Atomic Energy Agency to commission a feasibility study for any kind of regional nuclear power and desalination programme at all. But demand for electricity in the Emirates alone is growing by nearly 10

Technical Review Middle East - Issue One 2014

per cent a year, not least because almost all potable water is currently produced by costly electrical means.

Short supply In 2008 the UAE authorities calculated that their combined power demand would increase from 15.5 GWe (then) to 40-plus (2020), indicating an inevitable fuel and renewables shortfall, and a major loss of energy export earning potential at the same time. Despite the undersea Dolphin scheme gas is already in short supply.

By contrast, once all these one-site nuclear facilities are up and running a substantial surplus of power should be regularly available for export to other GCC member countries.

The Emirates Nuclear Energy Corp was set up as a direct result of that move, along with a generous programme to attract foreign direct investment in a huge breakthrough project that would rely on bought-in www.technicalreview.me

uranium concentrates as fuel. The winning consortium is being led by Korea Electric Power Co, offering APR-1400 PWR technology based on Westinghouse’s proven System 80+ design for all four reactors.

Overseeing all operations to bring nuclear power to the country are energy specialists CH2M, says the World Nuclear Association, the international body that promotes the peaceful development of nuclear power.

We understand that key components for the first two ‘Shin Kori’ reactors are now being fabricated prior to pre-assembly in South Korea.

Realistic target Full consideration was given to safety issues right through the lengthy planning process, and the UAE is fully committed to a dualtrack radioactive waste-management strategy that will require the development of a national storage and disposal programme “in parallel with exploring regional co-operation options” (WNA).

As a result of all this preparatory activity just two months ago DEWA was able to confirm that it had a realistic target of 12

per cent of its power supplies being generated by nuclear means by 2030; the possibility of at least one additional facility being sited within power-hungry Dubai not being ruled out.

By August 2012 ENEC said that it had awarded no less than six contracts related to the supply of natural uranium concentrates, their conversion and associated enrichment services, along with the actual purchase of some of this fuel. These supply contracts are said to be worth US$3bn alone and will enable the fully on-stream facility located just 50-km from Ruwais to generate progressively, of course - up to 450bn KWh over a 15-year period commencing in 2017.

In order to mitigate risk, uranium concentrates will deliberately be purchased from widely separated national sources overseas. Just one supplier, France’s Areva, has announced that the contract it has already signed involves the supply of enriched uranium valued at US$500mn. This will be delivered to Kepco Nuclear Fuels for manufacturing of the necessary fuel assemblies.

ENEC “expects to return to the market at various times to take advantage of

The future is very exciting indeed, and this year’s MEE will be the place to discover what it will look like favourable market conditions and to strengthen its security of supply position” the WNA’s regularly updated ‘Country Profiles’ web pages say.

Finally, the winning construction consortium operating in the UAE, also involving Samsung, Hyundai and Doosan, expects to earn another US$20bn by jointly operating the facilities in Abu Dhabi for 60 years.

Nuclear power has had a longer and much more chequered history in Egypt, the country with the largest regional power deficit of all. The interim administration struggled earlier this year to head off a protest from residents of El-Dabaa, near Mersa Matruh, where the first commercialscale facility (rated at 5,000 MWe) is reportedly to be tendered for soon.

Completion of the conventional light

pressurised water-type reactor complex is expected within 2020 according to electricity minister Ahmad Emam.

Key player A team of consultants from locally represented energy specialists WorleyParsons visited in November last, and bidders from China, France, Japan, Korea and the USA are understood to all be in the frame, in addition to the Russians; experts predict the externallysourced finance package on offer to the Supreme Council on Energy (US$4bn for a single reactor, reportedly) will be a critical determinant.

Egypt’s very first nuclear foray began back in 1954 when an initial research-scale cooperation deal was signed with the Soviet Union; Russia is still a key player here.

The UAE is fully committed to a dual-track radioactive waste-management strategy that will require the development of a national storage and disposal programme

The planned waterside project took many years to bear fruit under the Egyptian Atomic Energy Authority. Much interrupted by international events the search is still on for suitable uranium deposits within the country. Meanwhile outline plans were drawn up a few years ago for the first commercial-scale facility designed to fill the gap when hydro- and gas-generated power resources prove inadequate.

According to a report in Al-Monitor’s ‘Egypt Pulse’, last year’s local protests were about compensation arrangements rather than the normal security issues such as seawater flooding and general safety; the issue was reportedly resolved by an offer to build a coastal tourism complex which, at an extra cost of millions, would provide employment, with the armed forces themselves acting as responsible guarantors.

As well as the well publicised case of Iran, not covered here, other MENA states want to ride the nuclear tide, too. Largest of all by far is the KSA, which plans to install no fewer than 16 reactors over the next two decades, projecting a capacity of 17 GWe by 2032 at a cost of US$80bn-plus.

A special research/implementation city (KA-CARE) has been set up within the capital district to achieve this, along with the world’s most ambitious solar plans. As a result Nuclear

Briefly A wind-ready grid SIEMENS AND IBERDROLA recently announced that they will work together on smart-grid infrastructure in the Middle East to allow for the integration of more wind and solar energy. The two companies will develop smart-grid technology, allowing wind energy to be integrated into the grid more effectively, for Qatar and the region as a whole.

Additionally, the firms will work on a demand response management system to balance supply and demand for energy. In a statement they said: "New technologies allow for an improved integration of outage management and an advanced level of grid automation. This enables utilities to operate their grids more reliably and more efficiently." The region's wind market has seen a sharp upturn in activity over the last year, with a number of countries moving towards utility-scale projects.

The winning construction consortium operating in the UAE, also involving Samsung, Hyundai and Doosan, expects to earn another US$20bn by jointly operating the facilities in Abu Dhabi for 60 years.

Holding Co was established last year; construction is due to start in 2016, Exelon Generation, GE Hitachi and Toshiba/Westinghouse all being understood to be involved. The Kingdom’s first reactor (precise details so far unknown) is expected on line in 2022.

Substantial reserves A special National Atomic Regulatory Authority has already been established.

The goal is to meet 15 per cent of Saudi Arabia’s power demands as well as to establish an energy export business that is not based on fossil fuels.

Across the border in Jordan, a state which unusually for the region possesses substantial reserves of fuel-grade uranium, the Atomic Energy Commission has submitted outline plans for a reactor, variously described as between 750 and

1,200 MWe capacity, to be operational within seven years. A second will follow at Al Amra (Majdal vicinity) in 2025. In October last negotiations over technologies and the expected US$10bn costs were commenced with the Russian Rosatom subsidiary AtomStroyExport.

Finally the potential of nuclear power is being investigated in a swathe of other regional countries including Kuwait, Qatar and Yemen, as well as right across North Africa from Morocco (already a leader in advanced energy production including renewables) to Libya.

The future is very exciting indeed, and this year’s MEE will be the place to discover what it will look like. ■ For more background information on all these individual national plans visit www.world-nuclear.org

Lean burn gas generator set product line The new line marks the debut of a 2 MWe variant, alongside the improved 1,540 kWe and 1,750 kWe models.

Primary applications for the new models include prime, peaking and combined heat and power (CHP), as well as continuous operation in island mode and standby power.

Their robust load handling attributes and capability of running on pipeline and low methane number fuels down to 43MN make them ideal for remote locations where grid power is unavailable, such as mining, oil or gas fields, or in regions of the world where grid power is either unreliable or inaccessible.

In keeping with Cummins’ commitment to a reduced carbon footprint to help meet worldwide emissions standards, NOx emissions ratings as low as 250 mg/Nm3 are available where required.

Global power consumption continues to increase

Excellent business prospects for power suppliers By 2035, the Middle East will account for half the world’s oil-fired power generation, the IEA says. But in other ways the region is at the leading edge of global supply trends.

The non-OECD countries will account for by far the greater part of this incremental demand for mains power

T

HE INTERNATIONAL ENERGY Agency (IEA) says that global electricity consumption is expected to increase by more than twothirds by 2035. Globally available power supplies are dwindling relative to theoretical demand, and the infrastructure – both generating and transmission/distribution (T&D) - is ageing fast.

The Gulf states targeted by events like MEE 2014 are central to the Agency’s reasoned (and reasonably likely) ‘New policies’ case for matching overall supply

Technical Review Middle East - Issue One 2014

with demand in the long term, and doing so without harming the environment, which would be best served by the IEA’s hoped-for ‘450 [ppm] scenario’.

The OECD agency points out that which power plants are actually operated to meet electricity demand typically depends on their variable costs. Around the world there are basically two types of local market for electricity, fully liberalised and the majority - fully regulated, with many variants in between. These determine both how prices evolve and the conditions for necessary investment. www.technicalreview.me

Economic growth Global power consumption nearly doubled between 1990 and 2011, and from now to 2035 demand is expected to grow more than for any other final form of energy; electricity use being strongly linked to both present and future economic growth. The nature and extent of government interventions such as efficiency drives (eg, for thermal insulation) is critical in determining the actual level of consumption seen.

“Without any change in electricity intensity with respect to the last five years, world electricity demand would rise to 43,100 TWh in 2035. In the ‘New policies’ scenario it is lower by about one-quarter.

Energy efficiency is the main driver of this difference” the IEA says.

Under its New Policies scenario the Agency maintains that industry will hold on to its position as the largest sectoral consumer of power right through 2035, accounting for 41 per cent of total demand by that time. But usage in the domestic (residential) sector is expected to expand faster, by 2.5 per cent each year, which is more than the rate of population growth.

The non-OECD countries will account for the majority of demand for incremental mains power.

Gas- and oil-fired generation are expected to remain the backbone of power supply in MENA By 2030, 970mn people will still have no access to mains power compared with 1.2 bn in 2011.

The non-OECD countries will account for by far the greater part of this incremental demand for mains power. And by 2035 despite all sorts of technological developments (such as increased use of urban light rail here in the Gulf, and more electric vehicles elsewhere) transport will still account for just two per cent of global electricity demand.

Power mix How supply will develop to meet this will vary by region according to individual government policies and by the type/level of competition between the different types of generation, including renewables of course. Relative investment costs and fuel prices are central to this outturn.

Under ‘New policies’ global generation is expected to reach almost 37,100 TWh by 2035, with fossil-fuel technologies declining from 68-57 per cent, with the power mix itself changing, and “Renewables as a group accounting for almost half of the increase in global electricity generation over 2011-2035…

“The evolution of the power mix in OECD countries is markedly different from that in non-OECD countries…In absolute terms the second largest increase in nonOECD generation from a single-energy source comes from gas, primarily in the Middle East, China and India.”

Relative costs of generation vary widely according to the fuel used, with total (fixed plus variable) generating costs for

Relative costs of generation vary widely according to the fuel used each technology differing widely around the world. For both nuclear plant and most renewables the capital element is the most significant of these. And in some regions public opposition to building any type of power infrastructure at all “is becoming a more important factor in determining the pace at which [urgently needed] new projects can be completed”.

Lifetimes As well as varying construction times (typically now less than two years for open-cycle gas turbines) the Agency notes that the expected lifetimes of different types of plant vary widely; 40 years for gas plants as favoured here - and just 20 for solar PV. The age of most plant used for baseload generation in emerging countries is much lower than in the OECD, and most

new plant is brought on line to satisfy previously unmet (ie, theoretical) demand.

Globally around one-fifth of the gross additions of thermal capacity projected through 2035 are already under construction, the lead times for coal and nuclear plants in particular being very long. This will bring them into production soon after the GCC’s first nuclear reactor is commissioned in Abu Dhabi in 2017.

Gas- and oil-fired generation are expected to remain the backbone of power supply in MENA. Global output from all-forms gas plant rises from 4847 TWh in 2011 to 8310 TWh in 2035, even though its share of the total will remain constant at 22 per cent. Around 20 per cent of this increment will take place here in the Middle East, and fuel pricing will be a key consideration.

Global power consumption nearly doubled between 1990 and 2011

Attractive option “Despite the higher gas prices in the European and Asia-Pacific markets [compared with the USA]”, the Agency says, “gas-fired generation still has characteristics that make it an attractive option relative to the alternatives, notably lower capital costs, shorter construction times, greater operational flexibility and lower emissions.” These advantages also apply here of course.

Globally oil-fired plant is projected to continue to decline over the next 20plus years, from 1,062 TWh to less than 560. Oil will remain a fuel of choice here, but in most other regions this

commodity is consigned to only a marginal role as an emergency back-up resource, wherever gas distribution networks are under-developed (eg, subSaharan Africa), and in distributed applications in remote areas such as the island states of the Indian Ocean.

By 2035, the IEA predicts, the Middle East will account for almost one-half of worldwide oil-fired power generation, “because of the assumed persistence of fuel price subsidies in several countries and strong electricity demand growth”. ■ 1 “World Energy Outlook”; November 2013

Award for Ghaddar Machinery AT A SPECIAL event organised by the British embassy in Lebanon in November, HM Ambassador Tom Fletcher presented the high profile ‘British Business Awards 2013 - Largest importer from Great Britain in 2012’ to Ghaddar Machinery Co. in the presence of prominent public figures and business partners.

Addressing the event, Ambassador Fletcher said: “Britain and Lebanon are two of history’s greatest trading nations. We are honouring the individuals and companies who are helping us to double trade between our two countries, and we are showcasing Lebanon’s talent and resilience.”

He went on to praise the “exceptional determination” shown by Ghaddar Machinery Co. “to become main players worldwide”, before British Business Award success: Chairman presenting the prestigious award to company of Ghaddar Machinery Co., Mohammed Samih Ghaddar (left), is presented with a chairman, Mohammed Samih Ghaddar.

Expressing his gratitude, Ghaddar said: “I’m commemorative plaque by Jonathan Wilson from Perkins. overwhelmed to be awarded the British Business Champion for the year of 2012. I have to admit that without the loyalty of all our Ghaddar Machinery Co. family, the support of the financial institutions and the partnership with Perkins Engines Company Limited; I wouldn’t have been here getting this award tonight.”

Jonathan Wilson, EAME & CIS regional sales manager at Perkins, attended the award ceremony and said: “This award is a fantastic achievement for our valued electric power customer and distribution partner in Lebanon, Ghaddar Machinery Co. “Ghaddar Machinery Co. is rapidly approaching 300,000 engines in total purchased from Perkins, which will be another milestone truly worthy of our recognition.”

IEA’s main predictions ABBREVIATED HIGHLIGHTS OF the IEA’s WEO 2013 predictions on power are: • Electricity demand grows more than that for any other final form of energy through 2035. Industry, domestics and air conditioning will be the main drivers.

• Non-OECD countries will account for most of the increase, led by China and India (almost one-half). The Middle East will account for six per cent.

• Global generating capacity will increase from 5,649GW in 2012 to ca 9,760GW (2035). About 60 per cent of ‘retirements’ (1,940GW in total) will be in the traditional industrialised countries.

Cumulative investment Coal – only used here in Egypt – will remain the principal fuel in thermal plants, one-third of the total in 2035, almost the same as all-forms renewables.

Worldwide, gas’s share will hold steady.

Transmission and distribution line lengths, the often overlooked component of electrification, will increase from 69mn kilometres to 94mn.

By 2035 around one-half of today’s existing grid infrastructure will have reached 40 years of age, necessitating major investments in refurbishment.

Cumulative global investment in the power sector is expected to be US$17 trillion between 2012 and 2035, with new generating plants accounting for 58 per cent. T&D networks will account for the rest.

Prices are certain to rise in most regions, but with increasingly significant country-by-country differences. By 2035 US industrial electricity prices will be 40 per cent lower than in China; this is already a contentious trading issue in both Japan and the EU.

Middle East in IEA’s ‘New policies’ context BY 2035, REGIONAL electricity demand/person will be nearly 60 per cent of the OECD average; this will compare with just over 42 per cent today.

Total ME capacity retirements are expected to total 69GW by 2035; globally the figure will be 1,941GW. Total ME gross generation capacity additions over the same period will exceed www.technicalreview.me

280GW, more than half of which will be fuelled by gas. The worldwide total will be just over 6,050GW, of which only 1,374GW 2011: ME demand (TWh) World demand

Oriental Copper’s eco-friendly busbars ORIENTAL COPPER, MANUFACTURER of high conductivity copper busbar and copper fabricated products, have introduced environmental-friendly ‘OC-ETP’ high conductivity copper that conducts electrical energy more efficiently and generates lower heat loss, thus helping lower the carbon footprint. The Thai-based firm also produces copper alloys and oxygen-free copper manufactured for specific customer applications and offers a competitive tinplating service.

In the Middle East, many of the company’s customers are electrical switchboard manufacturers, which makes its ‘switchboard design’ the electrical property of the copper busbar.

The unique property of OC-ETP busbars is that it has undergone temperature rise testing and has passed the Type Test of 3,000A at 80°C in accordance with IEC regulation 60439-1, which is usually a challenge for normal busbars.

The needs OC-ETP busbar can also tolerate additional electromagnetic-forces when an

electrical fault occurs, generally not seen in normal busbars.

Some of the benefits are: • At operating conditions OC-ETP busbar generate less heat, so switchboards compartments are cooler. The switchboards have a longer life due to lower temperature rises under normal operating conditions or when undergoing a short circuit occurrence • OC-ETP busbars have controlled excellent flatness. When jointed together, this reduces electrical resistance, which also enhances switchboard performance • Switchboard makers can design a more compact switchboard by using OC-ETP busbars.

Meanwhile, Oriental Copper has developed inhouse tin-plating process under quality-controlled ISO procedures for premium grade tin-plated copper busbars, which results in better switchboard design. The atmospheric conditions, humidity and a high salt content in many parts of the Middle East have high demand for tin-plated copper.

Briefly DEWA’s Warsan Complex now open HH SHEIKH HAMDAN bin Rashid Al Maktoum, deputy ruler of Dubai, minister of finance, and president of Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA), officially opened DEWA’s Warsan Complex and Al Qusais Control Centre. “The opening of the Warsan Complex updates and automates our systems and meets the needs of urbanexpansion projects and growing demand for electricity and water services, which we provide at the highest levels of quality, reliability, and sustainability. This is in line with the Green Economy for Sustainable Development initiative to drive the sustainable growth of Dubai,” said Saeed Al Tayer, MD and CEO of Dewa. “Led by its vision to become a sustainable world-class utility, DEWA is committed to achieving the highest levels of efficiency, quality, and sustainability across its current and future projects.

The transmission and distribution control systems have been designed to meet the expansion of transmission and distribution networks, and manage the needs of the increasing number of substations. We have conducted several voltage-capacity tests to achieve the best performance of the networks. Besides, we have implemented a ‘Multi-Site System’ that provides alternative technical and geographical systems, in case of emergency, to minimise the impact of any unwarranted outages,” continued Al Tayer. The Warsan complex features two control centres. The first controls power generation and transmission of the 132/400 kV networks. The centre controls and manages power generation in co-ordination with Jebel Ali Power Station. The second control centre monitors and manages the networks to maintain continual improvement. “The centre is equipped with the most advanced remote control and monitoring programmes using German technology, including potential expansion opportunities. The latest programmes enable full control over the network in Dubai, its operations, in addition to monitoring the generation process automatically in co-ordination with various stations to the highest international quality, efficiency, and sustainability standards,” added Al Tayer.

MAN diesel engines to make their debut THIS YEAR’S MEE will provide the launch pad for future sales of MAN engines designed and produced in Germany for the Middle Eastern markets.

“From now on, we will be able to offer our customers a local service for every standard of reliable and durable MAN engine: Our broad product range enables us to offer dynamic engines with mechanical injection as well as with the most up-to-date common rail technology” revealed Hubert Gossner, Head of Power MAN Engines.

MAN diesel engines for peak load compensation, emergency power supply and basic load supply have been successfully sold for many years now in Europe, Asia, South Africa and America.

For the emerging markets, MAN provides tried and tested, sustainable 6-cylinder in-line engines, as well as 8-, 10- and 12-cylinder V-type engines.

Depending on their type of operation in PRP (Prime Power), ESP (Emergency Standby Power), LTP (Limited Time Power) or COP (Continuous Power), the engines can be operated for a maximum of between 200 and 8,000 operational hours per year. MAN engines are characterised by their high power spectrum, sturdy design and compact construction, whilst their low lifecycle costs also win over many customers.

MAN will present visitors to Middle East Electricity the 6-cylinder in-line engine, D2676 LE22x, as well as the 12-cylinder V-type engine, D2862 LE22x, showcasing a broad spectrum of its range of different engines and performance diversity. The D2862 LE22x, an innovative new design, is the highest performance diesel engine for power generation which MAN is proud to be able to include in its portfolio. This 12 cylinder Vtype engine from MAN has a displacement of 24.2

www.man.eu

litres, with a 128 mm bore and a stroke of 157 mm.

The V12 offers mechanical performance of 880 kW at 1,500 min.-1 and 1,117 kW at 1,800 min.-1 for power generation in Emergency Standby Power (ESP) mode.

The use of modern technologies such as Common Rail Injection systems enables the efficient, 12-cylinder engine to achieve peak values for fuel consumption over a wide, application spectrum. Its dimensions of just 2,660 mm x 1,540 mm x 1,920 mm ensure its suitability for use as a container generating set.

The D2676 LE22x has been developed as a four stroke diesel engine with 6 in-line cylinders able to yield 12.4 litre displacement with its 126 mm bore and 166 mm stroke. The 6-cylinder offers back-up mechanical performance of 396 kW at 1,500 min.1 and 415 kW at 1,800 min.-1 for power generation in Limited Time Power (LTP) mode. The basic engine has been successfully used for many years in MAN commercial vehicles and in agricultural machinery applications. MAN´s products can be viewed in Hall S2 at Stand E20.

The region’s solar power capacity still remains negligible

MESIA rebrands to reflect wider regional scope The Dubai-based Emirates Solar Industry Association has rebranded itself to reflect the anticipated growth in the Middle East’s solar energy markets.

Saudi Arabia is targeting to have in place 41 gigawatts (GW) of solar power facilities by 2032

OUNDED IN NOVEMBER 2009, the Emirates Solar Industry Association on 22 September was rebranded and renamed the Middle East Solar Industry Association, or Mesia, in order to reflect the expected growth in regional solar markets.

“This has been a journey for us and part of a natural evolution and growth strategy,” said Vahid Fotuhi, president of Mesia. “We and our members believed that our remit and our vision had gone beyond just one country and one market and we were really looking at the whole Middle East, not just the UAE.” He explained that many of the conditions and characteristics of the UAE solar market are also present in the other markets in the Middle East, and it was

Technical Review Middle East - Issue One 2014

timely for the UAE’s first association representing the interests of solar energy companies to branch out regionally.

Mesia currently has 120 organisations that are members.

Many of these companies already have offices in the UAE and in other parts of the Middle East.

The region’s solar power capacity still remains negligible compared to that generated from conventional fuels, but the market is doubling in size every year, Fotuhi said.

“We are seeing rapid growth from a small base so although the absolute number is small - around 200 megawatts (MW) currently across the Middle East, excluding North Africa - that number is almost doubling every year,” he said. www.technicalreview.me

Renewables target The UAE was among the first country in the Middle East to signal its interest in solar energy and leads the region in terms of installed solar power capacity. In March, a joint venture led by Masdar (also known as the Abu Dhabi Future Energy Company) inaugurated the Shams 1 100MW concentrated solar power (CSP) plant in Madinat Zayed in Abu Dhabi's Western Region. The plant is the world’s largest single unit CSP facility in operation, and will generate energy to power 20,000 homes.

Masdar holds a 60 per cent stake in the Shams Power Company joint venture and is partnered by French oil group Total and Abengoa Solar, part of Spain’s Abengoa group, with each having a 20 per cent interest.

Shams 1 forms part of Abu Dhabi's renewables target for 2020 and is the first commercial plant to contribute to the target.

Fotuhi said the Emirate of Abu Dhabi is targeting some 1,500MW of solar energy projects to be installed over the next seven years, while Dubai has its own target of achieving another 1,000 MW to be inaugurated by 2030.

Outside of the UAE, Jordan and Saudi Arabia as well as Qatar are seen as being the most prominent new markets in the Middle East for solar power investment, Fotuhi said.

For Jordan, which has a near total dependence on fuel imports, investing in solar energy projects is all about its need for energy security. The Kingdom has some 170MW of new solar projects expected in the next 12 months.

While the Middle East is starting to see a pro-solar shift in government policy, many challenges remain Summer season “The main driver for Saudi Arabia to invest in solar projects is that the Kingdom is running at a deficit and currently is importing every summer about one million tonnes of diesel for power generation,” Fotuhi explained.

Diesel is used extensively for electricity generation in Saudi Arabia and has until relatively recently been able to meet its fuel requirements, including for diesel, from domestic resources. However, as the population has increased, so has demand for electricity especially during the peak summer season.

Demand has risen by seven to 10 per cent annually during the past five years and this growth rate is projected to continue until 2020, Fotuhi said, citing the Saudi Electricity Regulatory Authority (Ecra).

“At the same time, the Kingdom’s output of diesel has remained flat and as a result, Saudi Arabia has had to start to import diesel, among other oil products,” he said.

Saudi Arabia is targeting to have in place 41 gigawatts (GW) of solar power facilities by 2032, of which CSP plants would contribute 25GW and solar photovoltaic (PV) facilities 16GW. In the next five years, the kingdom is expected to connect to the grid up to three gigawatts from solar plants

Vahid Fotuhi

Technical Review Middle East - Issue One 2014

and up to 17 GW in the next 10 years.

“For Qatar, the driver for solar power investment essentially is about fuel replacement,” Fotuhi said. “Rather than burning gas for power generation, the country’s interest in solar power is that it can use that gas for petrochemicals and produce finished goods which it then can sell on the open market.”

It is understood Qatar is aiming to generate 16 per cent of its electricity from solar power by 2018. However, Fotuhi said Qatar has yet to define clearly the solar energy projects it may be considering.

Supply gap Kuwait is another potential market for solar power investments, he said. The country’s electrical power generation is largely natural gas-fired but since at least 2007, demand for electricity has outpaced the country’s natural gas production during the summer months. Compounding the shortfall is the demand for natural gas from the country's refinery and petrochemical operations. To make up for this supply gap, Kuwait in 2009 began imports of LNG to meet the increased summer demand. According to the U.S. Energy Administration (EIA), Kuwait imported about 245 MMcf/d of LNG in 2011. Fotuhi estimates the country’s LNG demand is growing at between eight to 10 per cent a year currently.

In December 2012, Kuwait set itself a target of generating 15 per cent of energy from renewable sources by 2030, but to date has announced plans for only one solar thermal power project. The proposed development comprises a 280 MW Solar Combined Cycle plant, with a solar contribution of 60 MW, to be built in AlAbdaliya, west of the country’s capital.

According to a Kuwait News Agency (KUNA) report, the Ministry of Finance’s Technical Office for Examining Development Projects and Initiatives in September signed a contract with HSBC for consultancy for the new development. The Technical Office for Examining Development Projects and Initiatives said that it would float the venture for public tender under the country’s public private partnership programme.

Shams 1 is a Masdar project

There are many solar companies that are based in the region which aspire to set up manufacturing plants, Fotuhi said.

“These include First Solar, Trina Solar, Solar Frontier and possibly other panel manufacturers,” he said. “The inverter suppliers such as SMA, ABB and Ingeteam are also actively looking into this option.

Across the entire value chain we see companies trying to localise their supply chain and product offering. It’s a very promising trend.”

Technologically, there have been major improvements in the reliability of solar power, particularly with regard to the issues of dust and haze that can affect output from solar plants in regions like the Middle East.

These include simple, automated cleaning solutions that can help solar plants maintain energy output in dusty or sandy and hazy conditions.

of Saudi Arabia, we have seen that solar has reached quick parity when diesel is used to burn for power generation,” Fotuhi said.

“In fact, the levelised cost of electricity – that is the cost to generate electricity - in Jordan has now reached US$0.22. When you look at solar, which is US$0.15 in most cases [in Jordan], you see solar has reached a very attractive price point in relation to other forms of power generation used within Jordan.”

Subsidised

While the Middle East is starting to see a pro-solar shift in government policy, many challenges remain. In order to get more solar energy projects rolled out across the region, the authorities and policy makers need to establish supportive regulatory regimes, Fotuhi said. This is an area that Mesia is working hard to address.

“It’s not easy and the process is a slow one

The traditional view has been that solar photovoltaic electricity in the Middle East is expensive unless it is heavily subsidised, particularly in view of the huge seasonal variations in electricity demand. But solar electricity is now at ‘grid parity’ in some of the region’s markets.

“In several markets like Kuwait and parts

www.technicalreview.me

Kuwait is another potential market for solar power investments

as it involves changing habits; moving from the established practice of generating power using conventional fuels to using new sources and to change all the infrastructure that surrounds it,“ Fotuhi explained. “We are working with the region’s authorities and policy makers to help them understand the benefits of solar and to help them integrate solar into the power generation sector.”

He believes authorities across the region are increasingly seeing the benefits and the cost competitiveness of solar and are embarking on the solar journey, albeit at a slow and gradual pace.

“The UAE, Saudi Arabia and Jordan are the most avant-garde in this regard,” Fotuhi said.

Over the next few years, the move to more pro-solar policies is expected to translate into more major new projects in the region. MESIA’s outlook for the Middle East is for the region to eventually generate over 80 GW of solar power once fully developed, involving an investment of some US$150bn in combined projects.

The UAE, and Dubai in particular, however, is still likely to maintain its position as a regional hub for companies in the solar field, Fotuhi said, as it is a natural hub to serve the Middle East with good infrastructure, logistics and experienced personnel. ■

Yokogawa to show the industry’s first online simulator IN APRIL, Yokogawa Electric Corporation will begin offering new solutions for optimising plant operations in the oil and gas, petrochemical, and other industries. These solutions will be provided as part of Yokogawa’s VigilantPlant Services® suite to support safe, stable, and highly-efficient plant operations. The technology underlying these solutions is Yokogawa’s newly An increasing focus on improving plant developed MIRROR PLANT online simulator. Visitors to MEE can learn more about the new simulator at the Yokogawa stand, 3H30.

The MIRROR PLANT simulator can visualise the internal state of a plant process and make near-term predictions on plant behaviour. An industry first, according to Yokogawa. The simulator operates in synchronisation with the plant control system and features the quality of performance required in commercial plants.

In recent years, there has been increasing focus on improving plant safety and strengthening competitiveness by making plants more efficient. For example, in the chemical industry, plant operators need in real time to manage or adjust the state of catalysts and the

composition of the reagents and product materials in a chemical reactor, to optimise both plant productivity and product quality. However, many of the process variables are difficult to measure or cannot be measured directly.

Based on actual process information such as flow rate, temperature, and pressure, simulation technology can make predictions on items that cannot be measured in real time, for example the amount of each component in a product, and thus simulate the state of a plant. By means of high-speed calculations, the simulator can make near-term predictions on the state of a plant. Operators can then anticipate events and take action earlier to ensure safe operation.

Yokogawa and its subsidiary, Omega Simulation Co. Ltd., jointly developed the MIRROR PLANT online plant simulator. It operates in synchronisation with the plant control system and constantly updates a process model.

Based on this simulator, Yokogawa will offer support solutions that help its customers optimise their plant operations.

A new power generation from Deutz THE MOBILE PHONE market continues to grow rapidly in many emerging countries, including throughout the Middle East.

Signal and telecommunication towers provide the foundation for this boom. They require cost-effective energy, which Deutz delivers in the form of its new engine. The engine in the 2011 series, especially developed for the telecommunications industry, will be delivered in yellow and is characterised by low fuel consumption during continuous operation.

The engine, which was specially optimised for the market, has helped Deutz AG profit from the strong upward trend in the mobile phone sector in many countries in Africa, South Asia and the Near and Middle East. In the last few years, the mobile markets in these regions have recorded above-average growth rates associated with turnover worth billions of dollars.

Inexpensive and reliable power supplies are a major factor in the mobile

communications infrastructure. Deutz supplies this energy in the form of engines from its 2011 series, which have been specially modified to meet the requirements of the telecommunications sector. They use up to eight per cent less fuel than their predecessor engines.

Other features include low installation

Technical Review Middle East - Issue One 2014

costs and low noise emissions, which means that expensive noise insulation measures are no longer required.

Excellent load transfer behaviour provides a power supply that is immediately available, Deutz claim. The oil cooling concept, in which both motor lubrication and cooling take place using engine oil, prevents the risk of corrosion or cavitation inside the motor.

High-reliability, long service life, oilchange intervals of up to 1,000 hours, in addition to low maintenance requirements are further customer benefits resulting from this concept, which also result in lower operating costs.

Very long operating times of between 12 to 16 hours per day can be achieved despite the climatically challenging circumstances of the target markets. Deutz says these are the major reasons for the good reputation it enjoys as a reliable and competitive engine supplier to many telecommunication companies.

Briefly UAE bids for World Energy Congress THE UAE IS bidding to host the 2019 World Energy Congress (WEC) in Abu Dhabi. This was confirmed by UAE energy minister Suhail bin Mohammed Faraj Faris AlMazrouei, according to a statement.

The announcement came on the eve of the 22nd edition of WEC in Daegu, South Korea. WEC is one of the world’s pre-eminent energy dialogues, convened every three years. It attracts more than 5,000 policy makers and private sector leaders from across the global energy industry.

Nuclear energy essential for UAE DR. KENNETH PETRUNIK, advisor to the CEO of the Emirates Nuclear Energy Corporation (ENEC) recently discussed the critical role of nuclear energy in meeting global energy demand.

Petrunik was speaking at a panel discussion at the World Future Energy Summit 2014 entitled ‘Nuclear energy – a role to place in a sustainable energy future’.

The panel discussed how global opinion about nuclear energy is evolving and if nuclear energy is resuming its place as a key electricity generation technology supporting the transition to a low carbon future.

Recounting his 40-year experience in the global nuclear industry, Petrunik said no other energy source can provide the same volumes of clean electricity that nuclear energy can. Petrunik also provided an overview of the progress of the UAE’s

Taqa eyes water projects ABU DHABI NATIONAL Energy Company (Taqa) plans to grow its water business via new projects and acquisitions across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) as well as India by creating an independent operation, a company executive said in a statement. Currently, the firm's power and water businesses operate together as in many of its markets water desalination and power generation plants are situated in close proximity. The state-owned utility has investments in the energy and power sector from India and the Middle East and Africa to the United Kingdom and North America. Its desalination assets, however, are all located in the UAE. As it sets up a separate water business within the company later this year, Taqa aims to boost its water output by at least 120mn gallons per day (mgpd) in five years by building new desalination plants or through acquisitions. That would mean about four plants each with a capacity of 30 mgpd.

Weak power demand to hurt ABB ABB TOLD INVESTORS it would miss Q4 profit expectations due to weak orders at its power division and delays on wind projects. ABB said its power division would take US$260mn in charges, bringing its Q4 net profit expectations to US$525mn, well short of analysts' average forecast of US$924mn. The power unit is also aiming to be more selective about the offshore wind power projects it takes on to increase returns.

successful nuclear energy programme, which is globally heralded as a ‘gold standard’ for other responsible nations considering new nuclear programmes.

“ENEC has spent the last four years working to develop a safe, reliable and efficient nuclear energy programme for the UAE,” said Petrunik. “Today, we have our first two plants already under construction. We are also on track to break ground on our third plant later this year.”

By 2020, the UAE will have four plants in commercial operations, producing 5,600MW of clean electricity which will meet up to a quarter of the country’s energy needs. The programme will also save the UAE approximately 12mn tons in greenhouse gas emissions every year.

“There are many more benefits to a world-class nuclear energy program that the UAE will also gain,” continued Petrunik.

“These include the economic growth and development of a new, high-tech industry, job creation for thousands of employees and enhanced training and development programs through partnerships with world-leading academic institutions.”

Petrunik also highlighted the importance of public support in developing new nuclear programmes. ENEC has strived to educate its communities about nuclear energy in order to build confidence and correct misperceptions. The latest research figures indicate that more than 80 per cent of the UAE population believes nuclear energy is important for the nation.

As part of its community awareness initiative, ENEC has been hosting a series of ongoing public forums all over the country to inform UAE residents about the nation’s peaceful nuclear energy programme, the progress of the plants under construction and how nuclear energy fits into the country’s energy portfolio.

Altaaqa Global general manager, Peter den Boogert

Altaaqa Global plans to step outside its comfort zone Talking exclusively to Technical Review, Altaaqa Global’s newly appointed general manager Peter den Boogert discusses past achievements, current obstacles, and future plans for global expansion.

“

“We pride ourselves on having a wonderful team of people and state-of-the-art equipment”

WE’RE NOT ALWAYS working in the easiest countries, but we have done it and for our first year it’s remarkable how the equipment has performed,” said Peter den Boogert, the newly appointed general manager of temporary power solution provider Altaaqa Global, a company which recently succeeded in installing a 54MW temporary power plant in Aden, Yemen in only 23 days.

Working in the summer heat and through Ramadan, Altaaqa Global was able to erect the interim power plant in little over three weeks from first signing the contract to flipping the final ‘on’ switch, thereby providing electricity to 150,000 homes in the region – an achievement that Boogert, naturally, is proud of.

He said, “It is really impressive what we did. It is a result of all the good work we have done previously and having the best people on board.”

Technical Review Middle East - Issue One 2014

Having started with Altaaqa Global in May 2012 as general manager for business development and with up to 20 years’ experience working in the power rental industry, Boogert was appointed the company’s general manager as of January 2014, seeing Steven Meyrick promoted to Altaaqa Global board member.

Meyrick, the first general manager to the Zahid Group subsidiary company, has a strong vision for Altaaqa Global and is intent on making it a leading player in the market. This is a goal that does not appear to be lost on Boogert who is keen to build on the company’s recent achievements. He boils down their success to two factors: the equipment and the people.

“We pride ourselves on having a wonderful team of people and state-ofthe-art equipment,” he said, “You have to engineer equipment, you have to take care that you have the best people on www.technicalreview.me

board and we do that and it gives us the success that we want.”

He added, “[The team] understands the importance of the services we render to customers and they understand the importance that on the other side of the generator or the power plant are millions of people who benefit from what we do.”

Altaaqa Global was happy to announce that on its recent Yemen project 95 per cent of the workforce consisted of Yemeni engineers. However for a rental company working across multiple countries, utilising only local labour resources can be problematic as entire new workforces would need to be trained in each country.

Boogert admitted that the 95 per cent will not always be achievable.

“It is not easy and in certain countries we will not be able to achieve that 95 per cent because the people are not available,” he said.

But he added, “It’s our obligation, both socially and morally, to train the people in the places where we work. Unfortunately the day arrives when we go back and have to leave the country, but at least we leave people that have been trained and are skilled in what they can do.”

Boogert has taken the reins at a promising time for Altaaqa Global. In addition to the achievements at the Yemen site, the company also managed to install a 24MW temporary power plant in 96 hours back in May and more

“We’re going to step out of our comfort zone and go into other countries” recently was nominated for a Platts Global Energy Award.

Looking to the future, there continues to be a high demand for temporary power in the emerging markets not only in the Middle East but worldwide.

However, competition continues to grow and, as Boogert admits, in the grand scheme of things Altaaqa Global struggles to compete when it comes to price.

“For every single signal there is in the market we jump on it,” he said, “What we try to do is convince our customers of our efficiency, both in terms of fuel efficiency and in terms of setting up and operating the power plant with the latest state-ofthe-art equipment and the best trained people in the world.”

Formed in 2012 as a subsidiary of Saudi industrial giant the Zahid Group, Altaaqa Global, as the name suggests, was created to tackle the global demand for interim energy solutions. It is also fortunate to benefit from being both a sister company to Saudi-based Altaaqa Alternative Solutions and an independent power producer (IPP) for Caterpillar Inc. The

MENA region, where it employs approximately 30,000 people, remains an important focus but Boogert is looking further a field in his plans for the company.

“We’re going to step out of our comfort zone and go into other countries”, he admits. “From Caterpillar [we have] the license to act globally and if we will be able to put our equipment outside of the MENA region and into other continents we will.”

Altaaqa Global can afford to have a confident approach to business. Not only can it call on Zahid Group’s century of experience and Altaaqa Alternative Solutions’ resources, but also as an IPP for Caterpillar it has the advantage of the machinery manufacturer’s knowledge and equipment in any country in which one of its dealers are present.

Boogert said, “If we go to a country where a Caterpillar dealer is installed we look to their knowledge, their skills, and their capacity to help us and we will give them a lot of business in return, because we won’t import our spare parts when they are already available by the dealer, so it’s a win-win combination.”

The rental company’s global strategy seems to already be in motion considering that branch offices recently opened in both Kenya and South Africa with another in India soon to follow.

According to Boogert, he expects the company to turn its focus to South America and Asia Pacific in the future.

“There are still some blind spots that have not yet had our attention; South America is one of them. I really want to be in South America,” he revealed.

Altaaqa Global may have ambitious aims, but with the business branching out across the globe, a comprehensive support system to call upon, 2013’s achievements behind them, and a new general manager at the helm, that ambition is not necessarily misplaced.

As Boogert said, “Our company is one and half years old, but together we represent probably more than 200 years of experience in our people. If a customer comes to us with a problem, it can be nothing that within us we haven’t faced before.” n www.technicalreview.me

Briefly Waste-to-energy technology WITH THE GCC states having among the highest rates of waste output per capita in the world, there is an increasing need to develop innovative solutions and new business opportunities that promote sustainable waste management, including recycling infrastructure and waste-to-energy technologies. Companies at the recent EcoWASTE exhibition in Abu Dhabi, hosted by Masdar, illustrated the potential to integrate sustainable waste management best practice in the region - with lessons to be learnt from around the world, and closer to home. Among the 50 local and international exhibitors, Swedish company Avfall Sverige displayed its expertise in the waste-toenergy sector. Around 50 per cent of Sweden’s solid waste is converted into sustainable energy.

According to Avfall Sverige CEO Weine Wiqvist, supportive policy frameworks helped accelerate the adoption of waste-to-energy in his home country. In the UAE, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah have set bold targets for reducing the amount of solid waste they send to landfill.

Sharjah is targeting zero-waste-tolandfill by 2015 and Abu Dhabi aims to divert 85 per cent of its waste by 2018. Qatar’s ambitious foray into waste-to-energy indicates the lucrative business opportunities in the emerging sustainable waste management sector. Completed in 2011, Qatar’s Domestic Solid Waste Management Centre (DSWMC), the first of its type in the GCC, comprises a state-of-the-art waste sorting and recycling facility, an engineered landfill, a composting plant, and a 1,500 tonnes per day waste-to-energy incineration plant.

Iran exporting electricity IRAN ANNUALLY EXPORTS over US$800mn worth of electricity to neighbouring countries, the head of Iran Electrical Industry Syndicate's Exports Development Committee, Payam Bagheri said, according to Iranian IRIB News Agency reports.

"The figure can be increased in the future," Bagheri said. "Iran's electricity industry is currently 95 per cent self-sufficient," he added.

Iran's electricity production capacity is around 70,000 megawatt hours.

Powering the education sector THE EDUCATION SECTOR in the UAE has been fuelled by growth from the UAE government prompting it to invest more than 20 per cent of its federal budget in this sector in 2012 and going forward. The drive towards this segment has without a doubt been triggered by the growing number of youth in the country. As the UAE government continues its

expansion plans by investing in school and university projects, Powertech has aligned its capabilities to serve this vision of expansion within the education sector through partnering with numerous consultants and contractors for supply of low voltage distribution boards and switchgear. The nature of this sector demands fast track delivery schedules and high technical specifications to ensure a safe and protected environment. Powertech is geared to meet the state-of-the-art technical requirements laid out by consultants as well as to ensure astute project management and delivery. In recent years, Powertech has supplied to reputed institutions such as Sharjah Teaching and Dental Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Ajman Academy and numerous government and private schools. Currently, Powertech is engaged in ongoing projects in the education sector supplying as per ADDC specifications to projects in Abu Dhabi and in Dubai as per DEWA requirements.

Container port expansions: Too much, too soon?

The Middle East region is seeing a slew of new container port developments. Lynda Davies takes a look at some of these projects and asks whether they risk creating overcapacity.

C

“Commentators such as the IMF are forecasting growth of around four per cent for the region” Mohammed Sharaf, CEO, DP World

ONTAINER PORT CAPACITY in the Middle East is set to soar, with the region’s port operators likely to add some 11.4mn TEUs in capacity in the next two years as an attempt to meet rising demand.

Despite perceptions that overcapacity could develop as a result of these new projects, terminal utilisation rates remain too high, according to Martin Van de Linde, CEO at Abu Dhabi Terminals, who spoke at the recent TOC Container Supply Chain conference in Dubai held from 9-11 December.

Van de Linde told delegates there has been a high level of utilisation in the region for the past few years, which has led to congestion problems at some ports. He believes regional ports will be highly utilised going forward.

“Even if you add all the current

Technical Review Middle East - Issue One 2014

developments by 2020, utilisation will be 80 per cent,” he said.

CEO of terminal operator DP World, Mohammed Sharaf, also believes there are enough economic and trade drivers to justify the need for expansion in the region.

“The IMF recently observed that while prospects remain challenging throughout the Arab world, the GCC economies will grow at 3.7 per cent this year, picking up to 4.1 per cent in 2014 - favourable by global standards,” he said.

“Drewry [a specialist research and advisory organisation for the maritime sector] points out that Middle East container volumes grew by nearly eight per cent between 2011 and 2012, and throughput for the first nine months of this year in DP World’s UAE region exceeded 10mn TEUs for the first time, indicating www.technicalreview.me

demand growth,” said Sharaf. “We have also experienced extremely high levels of utilisation, which is the reason behind ongoing capacity expansion at our flagship Jebel Ali Port.”

DP World launched its second container terminal at Jebel Ali Port in June. The new one-million-TEU-per-year Terminal 2 took the Dubai-based ports operator’s annual container handling capacity at the port to 15mn TEUs. A third terminal is under construction, which, when completed in 2014, will take DP World’s container handling capability at Jebel Ali to 19mn TEUs a year.

With the launch of Terminal 2, the company already can handle six ultra large container ships (ULCS) at the port simultaneously, and, with the completion of Terminal 3, will be able handle 10 of these giant new generation container vessels at the same time - the only port in the region able to do so.

DP World expects to receive the first ship at Terminal 3 in the first half of 2014.

The company operates three other container terminals in the UAE in Fujairah,

Mina Rashid and Mina Al Hamriya, but the vast majority of the throughput is handled at the Jebel Ali Port facilities.

In Q3 2013, Jebel Ali handled a record 3.6mn TEUs, representing a growth of 5.4 per cent. Combined throughput at DP World’s four UAE terminals reached 10.3mn TEUs in the first nine months of 2013, a 1.5 per cent increase on the same period in 2012.

Elsewhere in the Middle East, DP World operates the South Container Terminal at Saudi Arabia’s Islamic Port of Jeddah as well as the Al-Sokhna container terminal located on Egypt’s Red Sea coast. The company holds the concession to build and operate the Basin 2 expansion at AlSokhna, which it said will be completed in line with market demand.

“Commentators such as the IMF are forecasting growth of around four per cent for the region, and we will benefit from this,” said Sharaf.

“We also obviously will benefit from Dubai winning the bid to host Expo 2020.

This will have great significance for the shipping, ports and logistics industry, and

we, our customers and our partners are well prepared.”

The chief executive said the company had “tried and tested” large-scale, modern and efficient infrastructure to meet the supply chain challenges of growth in the region today and tomorrow - including the accelerated growth Expo 2020 will bring.

DP World’s operations at Jebel Ali are supported by the technology driven logistics infrastructure that is being put in place across the UAE, such as Dubai Logistics Corridor, Al Maktoum Airport, and Etihad Rail’s oncoming network, Sharaf explained.

“We are investing to meet the long-term needs of our customers, whether that be in the faster growing emerging markets or developed markets where new equipment and improved efficiencies are needed. We will be where our customers want us to be,” he said.

Traffic is picking up at Abu Dhabi’s newest port, Khalifa, which began operations in September 2012. The modern port, which was developed alongside the Khalifa Industrial Zone Abu Dhabi (Kizad), was built to replace the 40-year-old Mina Zayed port Salalah Port, Oman

In Q3 2013, Jebel Ali handled a record 3.6mn TEUs, representing a growth of 5.4 per cent located within the city surrounds. The new port, which has capacity for 2.5mn TEUs a year, handled its one millionth container in early December.

Some 95 per cent of current cargo handled by Khalifa is bound for Abu Dhabi but the port’s operator, Abu Dhabi Terminals, anticipates that in two years up to 20 per cent of throughput could be transshipment cargo for the Upper Gulf and India.

Sharjah-based port management and logistics group, Gulftainer, saw a 28 per cent increase in throughput volumes at its flagship Khorfakkan Container Terminal (KCT) in 2012, with the facility handling 3.5mn TEUs. The company has invested in additional cranes and extended the quays at KCT to accommodate the new 16,000-18,000 TEUs ultra-large container ships (ULCS).

While the Khorfakkan terminal serves the region at large, Gulftainer’s smaller Sharjah container facility provides specialised service for businesses in Sharjah and neighbouring emirates.

Expanded footprint Gulftainer substantially expanded its Middle East footprint with the acquisition in June 2013 of a 51 per cent stake in Saudi Arabia’s Gulf Stevedoring Contracting Company (GSCCO). The deal gave the Sharjah-based group full management control of the Northern Container Terminal (NCT) in Jeddah Islamic Port as well as full management of Jubail Commercial Port (JCP) and Jubail Industrial Port (JIP). With the three new operations in its portfolio, Gulftainer now is the largest container port operator in the Middle East, managing 40 per cent of the region’s container facilities that have the capacity to handle ships of 12,000 TEUs or greater in size.

Jubail currently handles 52mn tonnes of cargo a year, a figure which is expected to grow substantially in the short-to-mediumterm. JCP currently can provide an annual container handling capacity of one million twenty-foot equivalent units. It is expected that this figure will continue to increase quickly, particularly with the opening of major petrochemical developments in Jubail Industrial Zone, and the planned rail link to www.technicalreview.me

Riyadh. GSCCO currently operates 22 commercial berths in Jubail port, including the open sea tank terminal.

Jeddah’s Northern Container Terminal (NCT) has recently undergone significant expansion which substantially improved the capability of the port. NCT now comprises 1,654 metres of quay and 11 cranes, including seven super-post panamax cranes, providing an annual capacity of three million twenty-foot equivalent units.

Jeddah Islamic Port is a major trade gateway for Saudi Arabia’s container traffic - handling more than 70 per cent of the Kingdom’s container throughput in 2012.

The port saw a 17.9 per cent growth in container volumes in 2012 to 4.74mn TEUs. Q1 2013 saw a further increase, with container traffic through the port up 1.4 per cent on the same period in 2012 to reach 1.09mn TEUs, according to the Saudi Ports Authority.

However, Jeddah Islamic Port has limited scope to expand and in order to take some of the pressure off the port, the government is developing a new port as part of a wider industrial zone under development at King Abdullah Economic City, 100km north of Jeddah near Rabigh.

The new King Abdullah port - the kingdom’s first port development to be privately funded - will comprise a container terminal with an initial capacity of 1.3mn TEUs. Additional construction phases are planned, which could add a further 2.7mn TEUs. The terminal has a 16.5-metre draft alongside and will be able to accommodate container vessels of up to 16,000 TEUs. Trial operations began at the port in September 2013, and it is expected to enter its export phase shortly, to be followed by its import phase in early 2014.

Saudi Arabia is also working on a second container terminal in the King Abdul Aziz Port in Dammam, which, when fully developed, will more than double the port’s container handling capacity from its existing 1.5mn TEUs. The terminal’s developer, Saudi Global Ports LLC (SGP), a joint-venture (JV) company established between the Kingdom’s Public Investment Fund and Singapore-based port operator PSA International, broke ground on the project in October 2012. Completion of the

87

second terminal is slated for 2015 and will provide an annual handling capacity of 1.8mn TEUs. “King Abdul Aziz Port is the largest Gulf port in Saudi Arabia and it is hoped the new SGP terminal will transform Dammam into a major port of call in the Gulf to serve the Arabian Peninsula market,” PSA said.

The existing container terminal at King Abdul Aziz Port is operated by International Ports Services Co. Ltd. (IPS), a subsidiary of Hutchison Port Holdings, which formed as a JV partnership with one of Saudi Arabia’s largest maritime companies, MACNA. Dammam handled a total container volume of 1.5mn TEUs in 2012, according to Saudi Port Authority data.

Qatar, meanwhile, is building a new port and industrial zone among other facilities in Doha to help ease congestion at the old port of Doha. Currently seen as the world's largest ‘greenfield’ port development project, Doha New Port will serve the country’s strong trade growth. Much of this growth to date has been fuelled by exports but the country’s vast infrastructure projects and preparations to host the World Cup in 2022 are expected to be a major driver of import growth.

The first phase of the new US$7.6bn multi-purpose facility at Doha is scheduled to open in 2016 and will include an initial capacity of two million twenty-foot equivalent units. There are plans to raise capacity to six million twenty-foot equivalent units by 2030.

Meanwhile, Oman is not only expanding container handling at Sohar and Salalah, but is also building a new port at Duqm, located some 450km south of Oman’s capital Muscat. Soft operations were launched in March 2013 at the new port, which is being developed in parallel with a special economic zone.

The Omani government is projecting Duqm to become the future business hub of the country, despite the ongoing expansions at Salalah and Sohar. However, the goal is for Duqm to double up as a gateway into Oman’s oilfields, and not to just specialise in container traffic.

Duqm’s initial container facilities will provide for an annual handling capacity of 3.5mn TEUs. There are plans to connect Duqm with the UAE and Saudi Arabia and other GCC countries by road and rail. The new port is being developed by the Port of Duqm Company SAOC, a 50:50 joint venture between the Omani government and the Consortium Antwerp Port (CAP). ■

ONSTRUCTION COMMENCED IN 2012 in Jordan at the US$1.5bn Red Sea Astrarium (TRSA) project, a tourism-oriented entertainment resort and virtual-reality theme park. In the summer of 2013, the chief commissioner of the Aqaba Special Economic Zone Authority, Dr Kamel Mahadin, announced that groundbreaking activities on the 75ha site in the hills 200 metres above the busy port city were about to begin.

This followed completion of detailed design of the many water- and energysaving features of the lavish high-end attraction. Completion is expected within 2015.

TRSA, as it is already being referred to in international travel and hotel-booking circles, is intended to become a multiplethemed leisure destination in its own right, adding to the region’s many water-side

Technical Review Middle East - Issue One 2014

attractions. What is intended is a ‘multicultural bridge that attracts past, present and future’ for all interested in the history of the Hashemite Kingdom and its region, from ancient Petra onwards. These will include the American Museum’s famed Silk Road collection as well as the Hijazi Gardens.

Plans are in hand to expand and transfer many of the port’s commercial activities, not compatible with tourism development, to a new site further south near the Saudi Arabian border. An additional economic focus for the Jordanian city is therefore needed.

Mahadin was quoted in 2013 as saying: “A major goal in the design of TRSA is to actively engage the local community through training with on-site hospitality academies, job creation, promoting the length of a tourist’s stay, and encouraging repeated visits.

“The entertainment resort will undoubtedly transform the Aqaba region and make it a high-end tourism hub for Jordan. It will do so whilst telling stories from our regional culture… integrating alternative energy resources and promoting the development of the entertainment industry in Jordan.”

Many details of the development including site plans and graphics, some based on sophisticated AutoCAD Civil 3D software, were revealed in the 2013/#1 edition of ‘The Arup Journal’. As lead engineer for the project working in association with architects Callison and local firms such as maisam architects and Dar Al’Omran Infrastructure Arup is a global organisation of designers, engineers, planners and business consultants with a special interest in leading-edge construction projects, including those that incorporate resource-conserving objectives.

“Themed resorts, particularly those with global audiences, are increasingly shifting towards resource efficiency… implementing Arup’s engineering strategies will place the Astrarium at the forefront of themed-resort

development” the design team’s coverage says.

Major features of this landmark project include the construction of two access roads, linking the complex with Al Jashieya Road and the Marsa Zayed development, a completely closed-cycle water management system, a treated seawater lagoon incorporating impressive fountains, sophisticated means of meeting site energy and cooling demands (equivalent to a peak demand of 32MW (electrical; the attractions themselves will absorb more than one-half of this, the complex receiving most of its power from the port city’s regional network). Provision is being made for future growth, but up to 20 per cent of power demand could eventually be met from wind and solar facilities located on the site itself. A centralised cooling plant is being installed.

Various ‘Green’ accreditation schemes were evaluated for suitability of application at this development and “LEED1 certification for selected buildings within the Astrarium was ultimately recommended”, the report says.

Smart concrete for Smarter structures Newly developed building material with encapsulated substances can heal themselves when cracks develop. The search is on for a range of reliable commercial products that can increase the durability of concretes

A

FEW CONCRETE STRUCTURES like the Pantheon have survived for more than a thousand years, but the relatively recent innovations of steel framing and introducing steel rebar reinforcement have had the unwanted effect of sowing decay as the building goes up. Nevertheless concrete remains the world’s most widely used construction material, lower in cost by far than any other.

An estimated one-half of the world’s buildings consist mostly of this material.

Concrete has one major disadvantage in the fact that it weathers badly in damp or salty ambient conditions, rapidly developing disfiguring stains and cracks that invite further accelerated decay. This is serious if embedded steel (rebar) reinforcement is attacked by the rusting process as a result.

The spread of pressure-inducing iron oxides can seriously weaken the whole structure progressively as the decay advances.

Cracks in concrete, including those not

visible to the naked eye, alter the properties of this invaluable material to such an extent that, if repairs do not take place, complete failure can eventually take place.

The result is that the upkeep of concrete has become a construction and FM specialisation in itself, so that for many years the search has been on for a reliable way of formulating and pouring enhanced materials that can look after their own maintenance, without any costly and inconvenient human intervention, and including in locations like overpasses that are difficult for access.

Various forms of so-called ‘self-healing concrete’ are now available, mostly incorporating living bacteria, or chemicalbased moisture-emitting capsules that activate themselves only when required.

Self-healing concrete can have bacteria such as Bacterium pasteurii embedded in it, as found in the highly alkaline lakes of the African Rift Valley and its northern extension into Jordan. To this natural substance can be added a special type of starch which literally ‘feeds’ the benign

Technical Review Middle East - Issue One 2014

bugs. When the concrete is fresh and sound these bacteria are inactively dormant, but as soon as a crack opens up over time or as a result of stress they absorb moisture, ‘wake up’ and seek out the starch which allows them to expand and replicate, excreting a form of calcium carbonate in the process.

This bonds to the uneven surface of the crack and closes the gap against the ingress of more moisture.

The developers of these new high-tech admixture materials, mostly in Europe and including proponents of the closely related porous filtercretes, typically claim that the healed concrete can reclaim - or more accurately retain - more than three-quarters of its original fully-cured strength. The problem is that the protection is only provided while the bacteria themselves remain alive.

So research is now taking place in South Korea and elsewhere into chemical monomer- and polymer-based materials for encapsulation that do not rely on selflimiting vulnerable life forms for their self-healing effect. Once again these only

Buildings in Gulf cities use concrete only for the hidden cores of structures, which are then clad in more attractive materials

start to rupture and become active once moisture begins to penetrate. Urea formaldehyde resins in micro-capsule form, a sophisticated family of materials available in the Gulf, seem to offer hope for meeting these very demanding criteria.

As of today, cracks in concrete structures of all types are common and nearly always have to be repaired at considerable cost. All over the world this phenomenon is encountered, not least in dry ambient conditions like the Gulf’s, and it is now quite common for contemporary concrete-based structures to have a design life of no more than a few decades.

MENA buildings and civil engineering structures are certainly less prone to damage than most because of the dry condition of the air at most times, but saltladen Gulf air can do just as much damage and accelerate the corrosion of any steel rebar material within as well.

However, if such structures could detect the onset of damage and simultaneously start the repair process themselves then vast sums could be saved, both in ongoing maintenance and on subsequent demolition

and replacement.

In addition, concrete is popularly regarded as a rather dreary and ‘secondrate’ material, suitable only for the hidden cores of structures which are then clad in more attractive materials. The Gulf cities exhibit many examples of this thinking. Very rarely - either here or elsewhere - is poured concrete used as an architectural statement in its own right, as in the design of the famed roofs of the Opera House in Australia’s business capital. Compare this with the iconic glass-walled structures of today’s Dubai and Kuwait cityscapes.

The development of self-healing composites is a new area of research based on the natural ability of hydrates to heal cracks on an ongoing basis, autonomously over time.

In US universities other inorganic selfhealing materials are now being developed such as micro-encapsulated sodium silicates which react with the concrete when ruptured to form a gel which seals the crack within a few days of being activated.

Corrosion inhibition properties for rebars are being investigated for these materials at

Technical Review Middle East - Issue One 2014

the same time. Other research teams are trying acidic cyanoacrylates (‘super glues’) and/or compatible alkali-silica solutions that cause hydration and the required degree of bonding.

Thus, it is seen that around the world construction material researchers are currently pursuing both biological- and chemical-based approaches to produce sophisticated new concrete admixture materials that will enable self-healing processes to start operating. The biologists are investigating the properties of various living organisms to become active once they encounter moisture and in the process plug the gaps that allowed water to penetrate.

Finally, a parallel development is of another form of ‘smart’ concrete, the selfcleaning type which incorporates inorganic titanium dioxide in nano-particle (ultra-fine powder) form, which adheres invisibly to the surface but absorbs ultra-violet radiation from the sky, and which can attack any organic accretions (such as the disfiguring fungi found so often in the Indian sub-continent) for subsequently natural removal by the gentlest of sea breezes. ■

Bobcat at the Bosphorous Bridge IN TURKEY, THE Istanbul-based company, Firat Technical Water Systems, has been using a new Bobcat E35 zero tail swing compact excavator for work on steep slopes on the Anatolian side of the Bosphorus Bridge at the Nakkaştepe Hills, close to Istanbul. Firat Technical Water Systems is working as a subcontractor for Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality and Tree & Landscaping Corporation.

Supplied by Hamamcioğlu Müesseseleri T.T.A.Ş., the Bobcat dealer for Turkey, based at Orhanlı in the Tuzla district of Istanbul, the new E35 compact excavator was purchased with Bobcat digging and tilt buckets.

Owned by agriculture engineer, Daimi Acar, Firat Technical Water Systems is an expert in constructing irrigation systems and landscaping.

The Nakkaştepe Hills contract includes preparing the sub base for landscaping and planting for the project, where the stability and high performance of the E35 excavator has been combined with the use of the tilt bucket to save time and money and overcome the difficulties of working on the steep slopes at the site.

As well as Nakkaştepe Hills, Firat Technical Water Systems is carrying out similar contracts at Acıbadem and Çamlıca. All together, the three contracts cover a total area of 1.8 sq km.

Designed to achieve the highest performance with exceptionally smooth movements, the 3.5tonne E35 excavator combines maximum productivity with the ability to carry out jobs with precision and fingertip control. A thumb-operated boom offset control located on the left joystick enables improved control of the boom swing

function while providing more floor space for the operator.

An important feature which provides smooth travel in all operating conditions is the auto-shift travel motor which allows an automatic transition from the low- to high-speed range or vice versa.

The operator can select the auto-shift feature via a rocker switch on the right-hand dashboard.

Alternatively, the auto-shift can be disengaged and the operator can use the switch located on the blade control lever to select the travel speed desired.

The Bobcat E35 excavator has a digging depth of 3,117mm, a reach at ground level of 5,230mm and a dump height of 3,437mm.

ITH THE CONSTRUCTION market on track to become the Kingdom’s fastest growing economic sector by next year, The Big 5 Saudi, held under the patronage of the Jeddah Ministry of Municipal and Rural Affairs, will feature a new series of educational events for visitors to gain greater access and an understanding of the many opportunities that the country offers.

Developed in co-ordination with the country’s leading construction and building experts, the Sustainable Design and Construction Seminar Series will look at the rapidly changing technologies, materials and techniques of the global construction industry whilst focusing on the local market’s key drivers and identifying solutions to potential challenges.

“Growth across the Kingdom has been phenomenal,” said John G. Spitz, senior vice president, Saudi Arabia, Hill International, a global construction consultancy that

Technical Review Middle East - Issue Six 2013

handles over US$40bn in projects across the country. Spitz, who will join the opening Leaders in Construction panel session, highlighted that the growth outlook for the next five years in the Kingdom is bright.

Increased investments “This is not a recent development. Even during the financial downturn a few years ago, Saudi maintained steady growth, as the construction sectors in many other countries were struggling. The government has actually increased its investments over the past several years to the various ministries involved in construction and infrastructure development.”

Joining Spitz on the panel will be Andrew Johnson of Mace Group, who is serving as project manager of Jeddah’s Kingdom Tower, which is set to unseat Dubai’s Burj Khalifa as the world’s tallest tower. Also on the panel will be Jesdev Saggar, managing director for Capital Projects & www.technicalreview.me

Infrastructure, Deloitte; and Oliver Plunkett, Buro Happold’s Saudi Arabia country manager. The free-to-attend seminar series will also include a number of Market Insight sessions, one of which will focus on the market fundamentals driving the push for affordable housing in Saudi, which already boasts over US$1bn dedicated to developing eight new housing developments across the country.

Savings Also new for this year will be a series of sessions devoted to sustainable building design, including methods for minimizing post-project waste while improving energy efficiency targets. The sessions will cover steps for integrating recycled content in building materials and how best to present green building designs to clients from a business and savings perspective.

“The seminar series is a result of Saudi’s growing influence in the region’s construction industry and the demand for access to insight and information from experts working within the market,” commented Nathan Waugh, event director,

The Big 5 Saudi. “Our visitors expressed a desire for more education content, and as a response to this we aim to bring expertise from local, regional and international sources to highlight the Kingdom’s exciting development in the coming years.

“The Saudi construction sector has had an impressive year, with significant contract announcements on a number of megaprojects such as the Riyadh Metro and King

Abdulaziz International Airport,” Waugh continued.

“To help facilitate dialogue amongst the Saudi industry, we have brought a number of new features to the event this year, which will help to deliver business-critical information and understanding around the trends, techniques and innovations impacting Saudi Arabia’s booming construction industry.” ■

Counterfeit product claims denied THE INTERNATIONAL FEDERATION of Consulting Engineers (FIDIC) has denied media speculation about a case study that was linked to the federation. The study claimed that 40 per cent of construction materials in Saudi Arabia were fake.

Nabeel Abbas, a consultant engineer and FIDIC representative in Saudi Arabia, said: “FIDIC did not come up with these statistics. In fact, it did not make such study.”

He said the federation’s announcement came as a comment to a report released by the committee of construction materials at the Jeddah Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

He said the report had claimed that 40 per cent of the construction material were not genuine. “It seems that some confusion happened between the study and our comment in its regard,” he said.
