EDITOR’S NOTE HAVE YOU EVER wondered about the financing of the mega billion-dollar infrastructure projects underway in the Middle East? There are US$157bn of rail and US$500bn in power related projects either planned or underway across the region. For many major infrastructure projects, governments and the private sector will have to resort to the world financial markets to raise the required capital. New, more inventive forms of finance will need to be explored and marketed. Some answers may be found at the forthcoming Big 5/Middle East Concrete and PMV Live events. More than 60,000 construction professionals are expected to descend on Dubai for this year’s events. The Big 5 has evolved over the years to maintain its status as the region’s leading construction event, and is complimented by PMV Live and Middle East Concrete, with a renewed sense of optimism within the construction industry.

Briefly UAE tops rankings A NEW WORLD Bank report has praised Saudi Arabia for implementing business reforms such as electronic filing and payment systems that are widely used by firms. Saudi Arabia also ranks second in the latest ease of doing business rankings published by the World Bank. The UAE topped the Middle East region in the rankings. The World Bank said its scorecard on the ease of doing business around the world had spurred thousands of regulatory reforms in the past decade, pushing back against critics who argue the national rankings stigmatize rather than inspire.

Mixed economic news for MENA - IMF THE LATEST INTERNATIONAL Monetary Fund (IMF) World Economic Outlook (WEO) projections suggest that economic performance in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region remains mixed. According to the latest QNB Group forecasts, the overall MENA economy will grow 2.1 per cent in 2013 and 3.8 per cent in 2014.

Investors in Egypt SAUDI INVESTMENTS TOTALLING US$62.2mn, were the second largest among investors from the Arab world in Egypt during Q4 of the 2012-2013 financial year, local media said quoting a report released by Egypt’s central bank.

UAE investments topped the list of Arab investors in Egypt during Q4 at US$226.7mn compared to US$69.3mn in Q3.

World Bank loan for Moroccan reforms A US$200MN WORLD Bank loan to Morocco, approved today, supports a comprehensive program to foster inclusive governance reforms.

The Transparency and Accountability Development Policy Loan (DPL), HAKAMA, is the first of two operations which will strengthen transparency and accountability in the management of public resources and foster open governance.

“The Hakama program will give greater impetus to the ongoing governance reforms in Morocco and will support key areas that can significantly leverage the performance and transparency of the public sector while enhancing citizen information and participation in decision making,” said Simon Gray, World Bank director for the Maghreb Department.

Morocco initiated a process of constitutional reforms and adopted a set of amendments to the constitution on 1 July 2011 focused on strengthening civic engagement and access to information.

In support of these new rights, the Hakama program targets structural governance reforms across the public sector including the central government, state-owned enterprises (SoEs), local governments, and inter-governmental relations.

Open governance on the way

The two track operation will support a package of cross-cutting measures including performancebased budgeting, procurement reform, implementation of the corporate governance code in key SoEs, a legal framework for public private partnerships, and an integrated financial management system for local governments.

It will also enhance fiscal transparency and public consultation measures while the new laws on access to information and public petitions are under preparation.

Show goes on for Lebanon’s event planners IN UNPREDICTABLE LEBANON, now caught up in the spillover from Syria’s civil war, the business of planning conferences, exhibitions and luxury weddings is not for the fainthearted. But Lebanese organisers of such events – moneymakers in the country’s vital tourism-oriented service sector – say they are determined to keep going, despite the risk of having to postpone or cancel when political turmoil or violence strike. Figures on how much conferences and exhibitions contribute to the economy are hard to come by, but the wider service sector accounts for about 75 per cent of gross domestic product. But high-spending Gulf visitors have vanished for now, and scores of conferences, exhibitions and luxury weddings have had to be rescheduled or relocated in the last two years.

Business travel boosts hotel and restaurant revenues as well as entertainment and transport. The Lebanese Chamber of Commerce, Industry and Agriculture estimates that 24 per cent of employment is directly or indirectly related to tourism.

Non-oil sector to drive Saudi growth SAUDI ARABIA'S NON-OIL sector will be a key driver in the country's growth in 2013-2014 after it recorded the second highest growth rate in G-20, a Qatari bank has said.

Qatar National Bank (QNB), citing official data, said real GDP growth in Saudi Arabia stood at 6.8 per cent in 2012, adding that the level confirmed the strong performance of the Gulf Kingdom’s economy over the last five years.

The Kingdom also registered the third highest GDP growth among Technical Review Middle East - Issue Five 2013

the G20 countries in 2008-2012 at 6.2 per cent, just below the growth rates of China and India.

The country's economic growth has led to social prosperity and wealth with GDP per capita at US$31,000 in 2012, which was significantly above the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) average of US$11,000 and close to the average for advanced economies of US$41,000. The Kingdom had the lowest risk spreads in the region. www.technicalreview.me

Executive Strategy

High expectations for regional growth

Can the crane sector hit new heights?

Saudi Arabia is continuing to invest in construction projects. Qatari activity may soon expand. Iraq has the potential to be a key future market. The region still offers major opportunities for all areas of the construction business and in particular, the crane sector, as one company with a major presence in the region tells Technical Review.

“Our suitability for this region is demonstrated by the fact we’ve worked on some of the largest developments in the Middle East”

ITH A PORTFOLIO of manufacturing skills stretching from commercial foodservice equipment to boom trucks it’s no surprise that the Manitowoc Company has a strong presence in the Middle East. However, as one of the world’s largest providers of lifting equipment for the global construction industry, Manitowoc Cranes may be the division that is kept busiest during the region’s ongoing surge in construction activity. Indeed Manitowoc Cranes MEA executive vice president, Philippe Cohet is in no doubt that the Middle East region is a key market, and one that deserves the company's full attention.

The US-based company's regional headquarters, set up in 2005, are based in Jebel Ali Free Zone in Dubai. The 10,000sqm facility contains not only a workshop but also service capabilities, specifically the company’s EnCORE crane refurbishment repair and maintenance programme for its

Technical Review Middle East - Issue Five 2013

cranes. Training is also provided on site. This is an important part of the company’s offering which also emphasises customer support services. Manitowoc Crane Care in particular, an advanced crane service and support programme, provides a mix of onsite services, spare parts distribution, training, and technical documentation.

Dubai is not the whole story, of course.

Manitowoc has one of the largest sales networks for lifting equipment in the Middle East and works with over 19 dealers in the region, many of which have represented the company for a long time.

Over the years two of the world’s most venerable names in crane manufacture have become part of the company’s portfolio.

Indeed those names — Grove and Potain — are still displayed on the mobile telescoping cranes and tower cranes that made them famous. These brands and their product ranges have a significant presence in the Middle East through a number of Manitowoc

dealers, including two of the largest: Gulf giant Kanoo Machinery, which represents Grove and Manitowoc cranes in many Gulf countries, and the UAE’s Nouman Fouad Trading (NFT), which represents Potain.

Kanoo’s support for the company was further enhanced by a new workshop in Jeddah, supported in turn by Manitowoc.

Cohet explains that Manitowoc works as a support office that provides its dealers with technical advice, extra support and financing. This is hardly surprising at a time of great activity. In fact with so many of its own products at work or on sale in the region, Manitowoc saw a need for a second level of support services. That is why the company based four additional new residents in the region in 2012. These four technicians are there to support the Grove and Potain brands.

A major goal for the company is to motivate its dealers to invest, of course, but the company itself continually works on developing better services and machines — services and machines that meet the needs of the area. Cohet feels this effort has been productive. “Our suitability for this region is demonstrated by the fact we’ve worked on some of the largest developments in the Middle East," Cohet states.

These developments are often driven by specific market trends and companies like Manitowoc need to be aware of specific sectors where demand is growing. It is,

Philippe Cohet

Cohet points out, always trying to adapt its technical and crane offerings for different market trends. In particular he believes that the Middle East energy sector will grow in importance, along with materials handling, which is another key — and sometimes related — market.

"The oil and gas industry is fundamental for us,” he explains. “We are seeing more and more energy-related projects — for oil, gas or nuclear power stations — as inevitable. All energy-related projects require lifting capacity."

Over the years two of the world’s most venerable names in crane manufacture have become part of the company’s portfolio

On a more regionally specific level there are a number of areas that Cohet feels are worth watching. For example despite a slowing of growth over the last two years, Manitowoc has high expectations for Qatar.

"Things are looking more positive and we are optimistic for the future," suggests Cohet. In fact Manitowoc has worked on some of the largest developments in the region, including the US$3bn Qatar Petroleum Financial District in Doha and the US$10bn King Abdullah Financial District in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, both of which are still under construction.

Not surprisingly, Saudi Arabia is Manitowoc’s biggest market; Jeddah, Mecca and Medina in particular are all booming areas for the company. Traditionally the firm has been positioned in the eastern part of the kingdom but Cohet agrees, “The Western Province of Saudi Arabia is essential, and though it has proved to be more challenging to enter initially, things are now improving for us there.”

Beyond the Gulf, Manitowoc is keeping a close eye on Iraq. According to Cohet, the country is becoming more business friendly and there is a lot of investment going into it.

"We have discussed with our Grove dealer — Boranex — what we should do next year to become more visible in Iraq," he says.

The region is atypical, of course. The global construction market is down, especially in Europe. The Middle East, however, has received support from governments that have sponsored mega-projects from Algeria to Saudi Arabia. This will continue to boost the sector and opportunities for companies like Manitowoc.

“If you pay attention and have the proximity to the right markets and regions you can still make business out of the current market situation,” Cohet says. ■

Briefly Ajman Free Zone Authority celebrates 25th anniversary THE AJMAN FREE Zone Authority recently celebrated its 25th year of operation at an investor networking event in London.

Those speaking at the event, which was held in September, included Abdeslam El-Idrissi, director of trade services at the Arab-British Chamber of Commerce (A-BCC); Matthew Smith, director general of the Middle East Association (MEA); Nader Eldesouky, deputy general manager at the Ajman Free Zone Authority; and Rishi Somaiya, the Ajman Free Zone Authority’s director of sales and marketing.

Representing the Ajman delegation to London, Eldesouky and Somaiya explained how 8,000 companies operate in the Ajman Free Zone, of which 22 per cent are British. The speakers also said the Authority enables 100 per cent foreign ownership for participant commercial concerns, 100 per cent repatriation of capital and profits, no taxation at individual and corporate level, and instant provision of visas for investors.

In addition, Eldesouky and Somaiya explained how energy in Ajman is subsidised, and that companies have the freedom to pay according to market conditions.

The representatives said Ajman has become popular for ecommerce entities and start-up companies, with offices suitable for fuller corporate sites and warehousing facilities.

The port facilities are managed by Hong Kong-based Hutchison Whampoa group.

Tratos supplies reeling cable for Dubai port TRATOS CAVI S.P.A has been awarded a contract to supply DP World with Tratosflex ESDB reeling cables for use on the cranes at the Jebel Ali port in Dubai.

The port is in the process of electrifying its existing diesel-driven RTG cranes ina bid to reduce energy costs and carbon dioxide emissions, Tratos said.

As part of this process, the cables will be fitted to the newly electrified cranes, the company added.

Buyer sought for Saudi Arabia waste firm UK COMPANY, ASHMORE Group, is reportedly in discussions to sell its majority stake in Saudi Arabian waste management firm, Global Environmental Management Services (GEMS). The sale is likely to raise between US$250 and $350mn for the fund manager, sources told Reuters.

Ashmore currently holds a stake in Jeddah-based GEMS of around 65 per cent and has reportedly identified two potential buyers, who have not been named. The company is currently choosing a bidder to hold exclusive talks with, according to an anonymous source. The sale process has not been made public but the sources added that Bank of America Merrill Lynch had been appointed www.gems-ksa.com to assist with it.

Both Ashmore and GEMS have declined to comment. Well-known for its investments in listed equities, Ashmore also invests in unlisted companies such as GEMS for its private equity and alternative investment funds.

GEMS provides collection, handling and disposal of petroleum and chemical waste services and is also involved in waste water treatment in the Kingdom. The ongoing growth of Saudi Arabia's industrial sectors and infrastructure has seen the demand for such services increase steadily in recent years. A filing from Ashmore in April said that its funds started investing in GEMS in late 2008 and continued in Q1 of 2009.

"There have been several subsequent investment rounds to fund capacity increases and the consolidation of shareholdings," stated the filing, without providing figures on Ashmore's current ownership or the amount of investments. "Shareholders have initiated discussions regarding several possible corporate events (merger, sale, third party funding)."

The filing added that GEMS' yearly earnings up to April before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) had increased by 43 per cent compared to the same period the previous year.

SSAB adds Toolox 44 to product portfolio SSAB HAS LAUNCHED Toolox 44, a variation of its Toolox steel, which serves as a tool for moulds and parts subjected to extreme stress and heat.

With a unique chemical composition that allows it to retain its properties throughout its tough life, Toolox steel retains approximately 80 per cent of its original strength at 500°C, SSAB claimed.

In addition to this, the material is “dead” as it does not hold any inner stresses, the company added.

According to SSAB, Toolox 44 has a heat resistant wear plate with 450 Brinell hardness (HB) and is available in thicknesses from five to 160mm.

The company said it is an alternative wear solution to Hardox, which is developed specifically for applications subjected to high temperatures.

Peng Xiongji, General Manager of Huawei UAE

Dubai, UAE. The Chinese global ICT giant has already invested around $3mn to set up a logistics centre in Jafza.

Peng Xiongji, General Manager of Huawei UAE said that the hub will cover the GCC and Pakistan markets initially and have a capacity of 4,500 sqm.

The hub's initial monthly output will be around 2,000 product sets during the first phase.

That phase will see the Jafza facility act as the storage and distribution nerve for Huawei’s wide range of wireless and microwave network solutions. The second phase of development is expected to be completed by end of 2013. "[This] will see the hub further expand its storage capacity to cover a wider range of products across our various business groups, including data communication solutions, switch routers, and even Huawei consumer devices," said Xiongji.

The new hub will enable Huawei to offer shorter delivery times, with a lead time of two to three weeks for GCC countries during phase one, and four weeks or less for countries in Africa once phase two is complete.

acquiring the right ERP solution to achieve the right results.

In the past, material requirements planning (MRP) systems simply focused on materials and making sure that the correct materials were available at the right time. Today, leading ERP systems are much more advanced. They focus on the customer and offer significantly more end-to-end support and information.

They provide one solution with one set of data accessed through one interface.

Competitive edge If a country has little capacity to manufacture, then it also has limited potential to achieve economic growth.

Manufacturing is a wealth-producing sector that needs to be constantly expanded and enhanced. By harnessing tools such as ERP, manufacturers can gain a competitive edge in today’s extremely aggressive business landscape. An ERP solution is not a ‘silver bullet,’ though. Considerable thought and planning must be invested in identifying and

reducing the number of independent systems, and streamlining operations.

An ERP system represents a major corporate investment that goes beyond simply buying software. Manufacturers must consider their system requirements, the total cost of ownership involved and how a particular solution complements their business objectives.

Essential An ERP purchase should be justified against an organization’s business goals to ensure that it not only supports them but acts as a vehicle to realizing them.

Ensuring proper management of organizational change and business transformation are also essential to the overall success of the system. Facilitating the transition from the organization’s old business model to the new, streamlined structure of operations requires planning and effective communication with stakeholders. This will help to create a positive environment, smooth the path for change and inspire management to think differently about how they do things.

Promoting air-free solutions across the region Technical Review spoke to Atlas Copco’s Oil-free Air Division president, Chris Lybaert and regional business line manager, Khalid Shaikh, about increasing demand and emerging trends in the MENA region.

W We are innovating products and technologies

ITH THE MIDDLE East placing heightened emphasis on non-oil industries and shifting its focus towards pure manufacturing, Atlas Copco’s air products and services are in greater demand than ever.

The company, which says its policy is to be as close as possible to the customer, now has a strong presence across the whole globe.

“This has meant that markets such as China, India, Brazil, MENA, USA and the UK, where we have higher growth target, are constantly outperforming,” said Lybaert.

Atlas Copco has reported sustained growth across a broad range of sectors in the region, including mining and power and water.

New applications “There is huge demand in Saudi Arabia from mining and metal industries, with further growth forecast. Qatar is also a huge market, with the World Cup leading to a further boom,” said Shaikh.

The gradual move away from oil industries means that a generation of new applications for compressed air and non-oil products has emerged.

Atlas Copco’s expertise was, for example, used in the development of a package where compressed air used for aircraft cooling and is being implemented in one of the airports in the Middle East to cool parked aircraft through expanding dry compressed air. With this the company sees an increasing desire to employ alternative air solutions in this region.

Challenges The importance of choosing quality over initial cost is not to be underestimated when it comes to selecting an air compressor.

“Lifecycle cost is 80 per cent of the energy cost. It is far better to select the correct compressor and the right specification as this will define the total cost to a company,” Shaikh explained.

“A company should not select the cheapest, but aim for the solution with the lowest total lifecycle cost,” he added.

The company has had to overcome a range of challenges in the region, not least the climate.

“Machines have to be built to different specifications for temperature, and also for the harsh environments. We have an ambient range of products that can be customised to withstand temperatures of up to 55°C,” said Lybaert.

“It is a huge market, geographically and financially… the market is also fragmented to a large extent, with beliefs in localisation.

We have a Saudisation process already in place and established, but it will still take a few years to train staff members to the required skill levels,” Lybaert explained.

Atlas Copco has nevertheless retained its competitive position in the market, successfully reducing lead times while maintaining volume.

Upgrade “We are also innovating products and technologies to enable us to reduce lifecycle costs. We are helping customers to upgrade existing products, to new products and new technologies,” Lybaert said.

The company is regularly included on the

The company has had to overcome a range of challenges in the region, not least the climate Dow Jones Sustainability Index, announcing in September 2012 that it had been selected for inclusion in the 2012/13 list. Ethisphere also named the company as one of the world’s top 20 ethical companies for 2013.

Atlas Copco recently launched a new, highly energy-efficient centrifugal compressor range which the company says saves up to seven on specific energy at full load and up to another nine per cent at part load.

Delivered as a plug-and-run package, the new ZH 355+ - 900+ oil-free centrifugal

compressor range employs advanced aerodynamics to reduce energy consumption in the core. Coupled with this, all the components of the package are designed based on Computational Flow Dynamic (CFD) analysis to drastically reduce pressure drops in the package.

Benefit The result is a reduction of specific energy up to seven per cent at full load compared to the previous model. Inlet guide vanes (IGVs), which are part of Atlas Copco’s standard scope of supply, further reduce energy cost by nine per cent at part loads as compared to a throttle valve control. As energy consumption constitutes about 80 per cent of the lifecycle cost of a compressor, users will benefit from day one, reducing the overall total cost of ownership.

Other than energy efficiency, reliability is a very important aspect. To ensure continuous production for users ZH centrifugal compressors from Atlas Copco employ high-end features to ensure maximum uptime. Milled impellers and servo controlled inlet guide vanes (IGV) are only two examples of the entire list that contribute to a trouble-free performance and long lifetimes.

Benchmark

Lybaert - committed to sustainable productivity

Technical Review Middle East - Issue Five 2013

“The existing range of ZH turbo compressors is already considered a benchmark for energy efficiency and reliability. The introduction of the new range raises the bar even higher” said Lybaert.

“Atlas Copco is committed to sustainable productivity and it is our ongoing endeavor to bring to market the most energy efficient solutions year after year.”

Oil-free air is a division within Atlas Copco's Compressor Technique business area. It develops, manufactures, and markets oil-free air compressors for all kind of industries worldwide where the air quality is vital, and oil-injected compressors for less critical applications.

The division focuses on air optimisation systems and quality air solutions to further improve customers’ productivity.

Briefly EU acknowledges Saudi industrial achievements THE EUROPEAN UNION has taken Saudi Arabia off its list of developing countries with customs preferences and will award it treatment of a high-income economy as of January. European Union Ambassador Adam Kulach recently explained the upcoming changes of the EU’s Generalised Scheme of Preferences to leading Saudi industry representatives in Riyadh. “The EU decision to take Saudi Arabia off the list of developing countries is, in effect, an acknowledgement of the Kingdom’s impressive economic progress,” Ambassador Kulach stated.

Certification for GE GULF EXTRUSIONS (GE), a global manufacturer of extruded aluminum products, announced that it has received the prestigious DNV (DET NORSKE VERITAS) certification for the marine applications the company supplies, especially wrought aluminium alloys. The certificate, which reaffirms that all of Gulf Extrusions’ marine applications comply with DNV’s specific recognised standards, has been awarded to in recognition of the company’s strong focus on quality.

Ducab and Senaat JV SENAAT AND DUCAB have announced the formation of a joint venture company, in order for the two industrial giants to collaborate on a project to build a 50,000 tpa aluminium rod mill. The new entity, ‘Ducab Aluminium’, will draw on the outstanding experience that Senaat and Ducab have accumulated as one of the largest industrial holding companies in the UAE and one of the largest manufacturers of wires and cables in the Middle East respectively. When complete, the new plant will manufacture Electrical Conductive (EC) grade and aluminium alloy rods, wires, and bare overhead conductors.

Environment-friendly processes will be employed within the mill, and liquid aluminium will be supplied from the EMAL smelter in Taweelah, Abu Dhabi. The total cost of the project is expected to be in the region of US$60mn. This estimated figure includes the plant and machinery, as well as associated buildings and infrastructure.

New-generation machine for ADNPM ABU DHABI NATIONAL Paper Mill (ADNPM), a member of Abu Dhabi Industrial Projects Company, has placed an US$54.4mn order with METSO, a global supplier of technology and services, to buy the UAE’s first PM3 NTT tissue manufacturing machine and the third in the world.

This will boost ADNPM’s current production capacity of 63,000 to 90,000 tonnes of tissues per annum. ADNPM has already produced 45,000 tonnes of tissues in the first nine months of this year. These new Sweden-made machines are only available in Mexico during 2013 and in Chile by 2014 and in the UAE by ADNPM by Q2 2015.

The PM3 NTT machines will be a strategic addition to ADNPM production line where the entire factory production is currently merely depending on Italian made machines.

NTT is a product that has high absorbency, high softness and high bulk. On the other hand, the machine is able to run as a conventional machine.

Helmut Berger, GM of ADNPM said: “Forty-five per cent of our products go to the UAE, part of the 80 per cent that goes to the GCC region. The remaining 20 per cent are shipped to Australia, Africa, Europe and the rest of the world. We anticipate a one third of our production capacity to be produced by this machine by the second quarter of 2015, achieving an enormous increase of 30,000 tonnes annually.”

ADNPM has ordered the first PM3 NTT tissue manufacturing machine to gain from the advantage of the NTT technology which is a completely new concept in tissue manufacturing using modern proven machine technology combined with the latest belt technology for paper machine clothing.

Metso announced the agreement at the recent Paper Arabia event

With the flexibility of Metso’s Advantage NTT technology, local production of tissue now has the possibility of developing new products to meet the constantly changing needs of the market according to Berger.

“The compact NTT tissue machine sections impart the unique qualities on either plain or textured tissue and increase the speed and capacity of the production. This will help achieve better results in our major production line. This is a milestone for the local tissues production in the UAE,” he added.

“We have carefully studied this strategic deal that will herald a whole new era to the local tissue industry. The tailored automation solutions in this machine will increase the life cycle performance and economy and will keep the production in peak condition.”

Excon 2013

Excon set to build India’s infrastructure portfolio South Asia’s biggest construction equipment show returns to Bangalore to showcase India’s rapid construction boom and the investment that is aiding the infrastructure sector

T

Cumulative FDI inflows, since April 2000, into earth moving equipment reached US$170.3mn as of 2012

HE INDIAN ECONOMY is getting bigger and better and it is all set to become the world’s third largest by 2050. Therefore, a need arises for more robust and vast infrastructure.

Spanning from roadways to airways, ports to airports and power production facilities, Indian infrastructure segment is the thrust for the development of the nation.

India’s earthmoving and construction equipment (ECE) industry has enjoyed strong growth over the last seven years as a result of rapid economic development in the country. The organised construction sector in India (e.g. roads, urban infrastructure) accounts for approximately 55 per cent of the ECE industry; Mining, irrigation and other infrastructure segments (e.g. Power, railways) account for the rest. Between 2006 and 2010, the Indian earthmoving and construction equipment (ECE) industry grew at a CAGR of approximately 18 per cent to current size of US$3.3bn.

To give a clearer picture on the scenario, the 7th edition of South Asia’s largest construction equipment event is all set to be held in Bangalore between 20-24 November 2013.

Organised by Confederation of Indian Industry (CII), India’s apex industry assocation, Indian

The 7th edition will be held in Bangalore between 20-24 November 2013

Technical Review Middle East - Issue Five 2013

Construction Equipment Manufacturers’ Association (ICEMA) is the sector partner for the event and it is supported by Builders Association of India (BAI).

Infrastructure investments are among the main growth drivers of the construction equipment industry.

The Planning Commission of India estimates total infrastructure spending of about US$428bn during the 11th Five-Year Plan (2007-12) and foresee to double India’s infrastructure investments to about US$1 trillion for the 12th Five-Year Plan (2012-17).

It is seen that almost all global technology leaders in the construction equipment sector have a presence in India — either as joint ventures or with their own manufacturing or marketing companies.

Cumulative foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows, since April 2000, into earth moving equipment reached US$170.3mn as of 2012.

The demand for construction equipment in India is only expected to grow to US$6.3bn by 2014, a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 19.3 per cent from 2010. India is expected to be firmly established as the third largest market in the world for construction equipment as number of machines will grow to 114,165 in 2016.

Around more than 900 exhibitors, including 300 foreign firms, are expected to participate where there will be more than 100 product launches. Germany, Japan, Italy, Sweden, Turkey, South Korea and China will have pavilions at the show with companies’ CEOs and senior management making their presence felt. The 220,000 sqm of exhibition display area would give ample space for expected 35,000 visitors to learn and see the exhibits.

Besides main show, there would be a twoday conference on “Propelling Sustainable Infrastructure Development — India on the Move” by ICEMA, BAI and CII that will be held on 21-22 November 2013. ■ www.technicalreview.me

The Gulf power grid is already a big victory for the GCC Interconnection Authority (GCCIA)

GCC power grid fuels interest In Pan-Arab Network The interconnecting power grids between the countries is aimed at better security and increased energy efficiency and, if need be, surplus electricity will be exported to European nations

T

For the moment, power trading between the GCC member countries is typically taking place only on an emergency basis

HE DEVELOPMENT OF the GCC power grid is a major advance for the Gulf region, a place where, despite all the niceties, strong national differences persist, and cooperation is not always easy to come by.

This expansive electrical interconnection project, built in stages, now hooks up north and south, linking Kuwait with Oman, and all other GCC states along the way.

And the hope is that won’t be the end of it with officials now looking to widen the nascent power pool across the broader Middle East region to create a pan-Arab grid.

Technical Review Middle East - Issue Five 2013

Thinking big: Towards A Pan-Arab Grid This project was implemented in three phases. Phase 1 covers the northern section, and links the grids of Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and Qatar. Phase 2 covers the southern section and links the

grids of the UAE and Oman. Phase 3, operational in 2011, completes the northern and southern interconnections.

That’s an initiative that is being backed by donors such as the Arab Fund, among others, to boost regional infrastructure links.

It could link the Gulf with the rest of the Arab world, via the so-called Eight Country Interconnection Project and the Maghreb Countries Interconnection Project.

The Maghreb Countries Interconnection Project This project includes connecting the Libyan grid to the Tunisian grid, using 220kV transmission lines, interconnecting the Tunisian grid with the Algerian grid, on 400kV, and interconnecting the Algerian grid to the Moroccan grid, using the same voltage.

The Eight Country Interconnection Project This project involves interconnecting the electrical grids of Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Libya, Lebanon, Palestine, Syria, and Turkey. It started as a five-country interconnection project (Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Syria, and Turkey), then became a six-country project when Lebanon joined.

It later became an eight-country project when Libya and Palestine joined.

The success or failure of that idea, however, will hinge critically on how the GCC grid, still in its infancy, evolves in the coming few years.

The Gulf power grid is already a big victory for the GCC Interconnection Authority (GCCIA), the entity set up in 2001 in Saudi Arabia, to oversee this grand undertaking.

Built over three phases at an estimated cost of about US$1.5bn, the network is a major feat of engineering in itself.

The first phase, linking Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and Qatar, first opened in 2009; the third phase link to Oman was completed at the end of 2011, which

means that the system is in full operational mode now.

Potentially, it could make a massive impact on the regional energy supply picture, improving efficiency, and saving money through greater sharing and trading.

The GCC Interconnector Phase I: The GCC North Grid System interconnects Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and Qatar (completed 2009) Phase II: The GCC South Grid System will interconnect the independent UAE and Oman systems (completed 2010) Phase III: Interconnecting the North and South GCC Grids, completing the shared energy connection between the six Gulf states (completed 2011)

Small volumes However, for now, trade volumes remain tiny, a starting point only rather than a reflection of the network’s hoped-for longer-term potential.

The system is developing though with increases in bilateral and trilateral power

Technical Review Middle East - Issue Five 2013

sharing now taking place between two or three-member states simultaneously.

This is all concentrated during the busy summer months, with little to zero activity in the winter.

In 2011, for example, all trades occurred within the May to October time period, spiking during August at 19.788MWhrs.

This reflects a massive surge on the year before, though, when August trade — the only month to see any activity that year — tallied just 0.388MWhrs.

GCCIA officials will be tracking network trade volumes keenly in the year ahead as they nurture this young power pool.

And yet the benefits of this sharing are there to see beyond pure statistics, in terms of better efficiency and improved energy security.

Significantly, despite 180 reported incidents within the various GCC grids during 2011, no load shedding was required.

The intention now is to ramp up capacity — the maximum interconnection capacity is 1,200MW for Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, less in other countries — and fine tune commercial frameworks to boost power sharing.

Power

Connecting the dots That’s quite a tall order given the enormous differences within the GCC region, not to mention the skewed market that has arisen through the extensive use of subsidies.

Ultimately, it means harmonisation and developing a uniform regulatory framework.

Still, getting this far represents a major achievement for the GCC states. Negotiating the construction of the network was a major challenge for the GCCIA and all others involved.

Saudi Arabia, for instance, runs its electricity transmission network at 380kV, 60Hz, while the other five countries use 400kV, 50Hz, reflecting the enormous technical issues involved.

The best solution in this case, adopted by contractor Alstom of France, was to add a highvoltage direct current (HVDC) interconnection.

But there were plenty of other technical dilemmas along the way for the swathes of engineers and contractors that played a part in connecting the lines.

This includes the creation of a regional control network that oversees the system.

The regional control centre is based at Ghunan, Saudi Arabia, and is now hooked up to each member country’s national control centre.

Its primary role is to ensure security, interconnection access, perform frequency and interchange regulation, coordinate interconnection operation, as well as transaction recording and billing.

Member states now have secure online access to use a simple auction tool to bid for interconnector corridor capacities on a daily, weekly and even yearly basis, through commercial bidding.

The system is developing though with increases in bilateral and trilateral power sharing now taking place between two or three-member states simultaneously Power sharing Going forward, it could be an opportunity for the GCC states to export electricity beyond the Gulf.

Annual electricity growth rates in the Gulf are ahead of the average elsewhere in the world, but while domestic demand is high during summer, in winter there is spare capacity. Moreover, there are longer term ideas to stretch the GCC network out of the Gulf and into the wider Arab region, and even on to Europe.

Although many electrical interconnections already exist between states outside the Gulf, trade among Arab countries has been minimal, typically at less than two per cent of capacity.

The Arab League and the World Bank are conducting studies into a possible GCC connection to the wider Arab region, and Europe.

Just as the Gulf is now a major oil and gas exporter to the world, it could theoretically emerge as a power seller too, despite the current energy crunch it is facing.

And then there is another question: how will the introduction of renewable energy and nuclear generating capacity — both of which have enormous capacity growth

Eelectricity demand in Arab countries will increase 84 per cent by 2020

Technical Review Middle East - Issue Five 2013

potential in the Gulf and across the Middle East — affect the regional power regional?

But, right now, that’s something for the future.

For the moment, power trading between the GCC member countries is typically taking place only on an emergency basis, says GCCIA chief executive Adnan al-Mohaisin.

He adds that the region needs to make power trading part of the ‘daily market philosophy’, something that is not part of the mindset at present.

Cost reduction The interconnection also provides the means to develop the region’s electricity sector in a more cost-effective manner as well as to attain a more competitive energy market in the future.

What we have so far, predominantly, is the physical infrastructure, but little else, with the benefits of interconnection still yet to be fully realised.

One clear potential benefit is a reduction in the investment costs required by individual member states to build new power infrastructure.

The GCC countries agreed to share the US$1.5bn cost of the project based on the relative proportion of cost saving resulting from reduced reserve capacity requirements in each country. Leading Gulf economies like the UAE and Saudi Arabia are in the process of rolling out large swathes of new generating capacity to meet demand spikes.

And the savings could be significant, according to another GCCIA official Ahmed al-Abrahim.

In a presentation last year, he said that over the next decade investment costs in new generation could be slashed if the panregional Middle East and North Africa integration goes ahead.

By 2020, the Arab countries would need to build an additional 135GW of new generating capacity without regional integration; with integration this could be trimmed to 102GW. In the context of rising demand all over the Middle East — electricity demand in Arab countries will increase 84 per cent by 2020, al-Abrahim added — this could slash the current anticipated US$450bn required infrastructure investment by 2020. ■

Is growth in solar energy slowing?

Renewables outpace other forms of energy supply Consumption of power generated by solar and wind sources continues to outpace the rest. And the cost of the equipment is still falling.

G

Overseas investment from Gulf institutions is a key source of funding for some of these capitalintensive projects

LOBAL UPTAKE OF renewable energy continues to develop rapidly, says a new report in the Worldwatch Institute’s ‘Vital Signs Online’ series*. And with its abundant sunshine and accommodation for key institutions like Masdar and the International Renewable Energy Agency the Middle East is well positioned to take advantage of the trend.

However, phasing down of so-called ‘feed in tariffs’ (FITs) in OECD countries, European ones in particular, is now slowing the trend.

Just two months ago Italy reached the ‘subsidy cap’ (ceiling) for its FIT programme, so future solar projects will no longer be eligible for this very attractive scheme there. Growth in solar generation is likely to be slowed by similar changes in Spain and other countries, too.

“Growth of global solar and wind energy continues to outpace other technologies,” the Washington-based Institute’s Sustainable Energy Research Department says, pointing out that global consumption of all-forms solar power increased by 58 per cent last year, to 93TWh. Effective use of wind energy grew by much less – just 18.1

Technical Review Middle East - Issue Five 2013

points – but from a much larger base, to just over 521TWh.

Impact Rival hydropower – also a renewable source - is a much older technology, and for this reason remains the world’s leading form of renewable energy, notably in Egypt, but investment in solar and wind capacity continues to outpace this around the world.

Nevertheless, the total impact of renewable forms of power generation remains small compared with fossil-fuel-based generation.

According to BP’s latest “Statistical Review of World Energy” renewables including hydro remain tiny components of the world’s energy mix. But the point is they are growing fast, by 15 per cent or more in some cases last year, while all-forms use of primary energy grew by less than two percentage points in 2012.

A surprising point to note is that, at US$140.4bn, global investment in solar power, the Gulf’s favourite source of renewables, was 11 per cent down in 2012.

And in wind by almost the same percentage, to just US$80.3bn. www.technicalreview.me

But there was a good reason for these downbeat trends. “Due to lower costs for both technologies total installed capacities grew sharply,” the report says. In other words, economies of scale and the impact of

The UAE has been at the forefront of solar energy developments in the region

maturing of technologies had really big effects on worldwide spend as the equipment needed has rapidly become more affordable by utilities and private individuals alike.

So solar photovoltaic (PV panel) capacity grew worldwide by 41 per cent to 150GW in 2012, the Institute says, coming from almost nowhere (just 10GW) in 2007. Germany leads the field clearly at more than 32GW installed; China, where most of the panels are actually made, accounts for just 7.0GWworth in local use.

Germany now accounts for 30 per cent of all the electricity generated by solar power around the world. Add in Italy’s uptake and a full one-half of all global power-from-the-

Technical Review Middle East - Issue Five 2013

sun consumption is accounted for by these two advanced countries.

Rival concentrating solar power (mirrorbased CSP) plants, such as the brand-new Shams I facility in the UAE, around the world added up to only 2.55GW, of which 0.97 were completed alone last year. Spain and the USA are the places to see the largest facilities in operation. When complete the 392MW facility in the Mojave Desert will be the world’s largest CSP unit.

Worrying But Algeria, Egypt and Morocco are prominent in this field too, with installed capacities of 25, 20 and 20MW at the end of 2012 respectively.

A slightly worrying sign is that there are indications of the PV supply bubble bursting in China, which in 2012 supplied more than one-half of the world’s PV panels. A key manufacturer recently defaulted on its bonds, with net losses for some parts of the industry being exacerbated by growing trade tensions with both Europe and the USA over alleged dumping of finished units.

These issues were still “live” in August.

Difficult Media interest here in the Gulf remains focused on large-scale CSP projects which serve precinct and district needs as distinct from those of individual premises.

Nevertheless, uptake of all-forms solar power in the Middle East as a whole increased by 62.3 per cent last year, and owners/tenants of individual residences, commercial buildings and so-called 'solar

farms' can expect to be targeted for sales by a PV panel-supplying industry which is finding it increasingly difficult to generate new business elsewhere.

Except in isolated national cases like Egypt, Jordan, Morocco and Tunisia windbased generation seems to have less scope here; it’s costly, the primary supply is not generally reliable and it’s not really needed, either.

But it is the number-one choice selectively elsewhere, such as by utility companies in northern Europe. The world’s total installed capturing capacity rose by 19 points last year, to 284GW. Overseas investment from Gulf institutions is a key source of funding for some of these capital-intensive projects, especially those that are based offshore. Total capacity located in Africa and the Middle East grew by 9.3 per cent in 2012 to 1135MW. ■ *30 July 2013; www.vitalsigns.worldwatch.org

ELECRAMA 2014 to display India’s energy to the world The 11th edition of the world’s largest power T&D confluence — ELECRAMA 2014 — will soon unfold at a new location — in the heart of India’s Infotech nucleus and the technology superhub, Bangalore.

Technical Review Middle East spoke to Raj Eswaran, president, IEEMA, about India’s power sector and GCC’s growth in coming years Tell us about the ‘Go Global’ theme for ELECRAMA 2014? Why is Bangalore the preferred event location?

The 11th edition of the world’s largest power transmission and distribution (T&D) confluence will be held at Bangalore International Exhibition Centre (BIEC) between 8-12 January 2014. We are extremely happy to partner with Karnataka state government for our biennial flagship event to be held in the software city of India, which has world-class facilities in terms of core services, features and amenities.

Through ELECRAMA 2014, we have created the unique theme of ‘Go Global’ wherein our idea is to focus on global competitiveness of products manufactured in India. With the support of Karnataka state government, Indian Electrical and Electronics Manufacturers’ Association (IEEMA) will host its flagship event and provide proactive service teams to

“We will showcase the capability of local manufacturers to develop worldclass engineering goods.”

Raj Eswaran, President of IEEMA

ensure that the exhibitors conduct their business smoothly.

ELECRAMA 2014 expo in Bangalore is expected to be a generation ahead and highest quality on a par with international standards.

BIEC is spread across 34 acres near Peenya industrial township, having 40,000 sq m of covered air-conditioned exhibition space with three halls, a multi-facility conference centre spread over 5,600 sq m including four conference halls, a helipad, an amphi-theatre, VIP lounge, food court, a machine tool training centre, and large outdoor area. It also has an infrastructure to distribute 11MW of power supply. It will be able to cater to well over 20,000 business visitors per day.

How is the Indian power sector faring in the global scenario?

Global trade in electrical equipment is close to US$600bn, with India’s share being less than one per cent. Currently, the Indian electrical equipment industry has been exporting almost 15 per cent to 20 per cent of their products, amounting to US$5bn in 2012-13.

India is targeting a gross domestic product (GDP) growth rate of eight to nine per cent in the coming years, and to enable this growth, the country’s economy needs the support of its power sector and the electrical equipment industry is expected to play a critical role in improving its power infrastructure.

The Indian power sector story has been encouraging with total installed generation

Technical Review Middle East - Issue Five 2013

capacity reaching 2,23,344MW, including renewables at 27,541MW and hydroelectricity at 39,491MW as on March 31 2013. In the 12th Plan (2012-17), the generation capacity addition target has been fixed at 88,537MW. Planned additions in the transmission sector include 1,10,340ckm of transmission lines, 2,70,000MVA of AC transformation capacity, and 19,250MW bi-pole link capacity of HVDC systems.

The inter-regional power transfer capacity is projected to increase to 65,550MW by 2017 as compared to 27,750MW in 2012.

The growth of the Indian power sector will entail exponential demand for electrical equipment in the coming years. Based on investment estimates and capacity addition targets, annual domestic demand for power generation equipment could be in the range of US$25bn to US$30bn by 2022; for the power transmission and distribution equipment, it may be in the range of US$70bn to US$75bn.

Sustainable form of energy is coming up in a huge way in Africa and Middle East. How is the renewable energy market in India?

Fortunately, India has been blessed with abundant wind, hydro and solar energy resources. In the past five to six years the renewable energy installed capacity has seen a massive rise, with wind energy being the major contributor. Renewable energy generation has been possible due to the tremendous government support. The government has been banking on

renewable energy in order to meet its generation targets and has introduced favorable policies for wind and solar energy generation, thus reassuring lots of companies and investors. With policies like Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission (JNNSM) and tax breaks for wind energy firms, renewable energy generation has witnessed a massive boost.

Last year Ernst & Young’s renewable energy index had ranked India fourth on renewable attractiveness stating that the country has tremendous potential for renewable energy generation. The Indian renewable energy market is an attractive investment destination across the world today. The country has 20,000MW of wind capacity and the latest estimate of the potential is more than 10 times that capacity. Under solar power, India currently produces 1,473MW from practically nothing in January 2008. Now, the Phase II of JNNSM is about to begin with 750MW being put up for bidding. A solar manufacturing industry has developed, with a capacity of 2,000MW for modules and 1,000MW for cells (cells are made into modules).

How would ELECRAMA 2014 benefit the Middle East market? Are we looking at ELECRAMA in the Middle East in future?

Just like India, Middle East nations, too, are undergoing through rapid development in its power sector. The region has been witnessing strong growth in the consumption of electricity over the past few years, and is further poised to grow at even faster pace in the next decade.

Among a raft of countries in the region, the electricity consumption in countries like Qatar and Oman is projected to grow at a double-digit compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) during 2011-2014, due to an increasing demand from residential and industrial sector.

Oman has been one of the fastest growing power sector country in the Middle East, and the country’s electricity sector is expected to augment in the coming times, with the installed electricity capacity and consumption expected to grow at CAGR of around 16 per cent and 12.5 per cent, respectively during 2011-2014. Also, several other Middle Eastern countries including the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, etc. also exhibit strong future growth potentials in the electricity sector.

As a result, the Power T&D sector in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries — comprising of Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the UAE — is expected to

Raj Eswaran, President of IEEMA

witness rapid growth, with investments totaling US$60bn in the next five years and add 18,000 circuit km of network.

Given the flourishing bilateral trade between India and the Middle East nations, which stood at over US$205bn in 2012-13, ELECRAMA 2014 will provide an opportunity for business visitors from the Middle East countries to also take part in various concurrent events.

We have not, yet, considered to take it overseas however, whenever we plan to do so, we would be keen to take it up in Dubai or other leading middle eastern cities.

What are the innovations/competitive products that are likely to be showcased at the event? What can you tell us about the quality of exhibitors and visitors we can expect at this year’s show?

Among the concurrent events lined up, ELECRAMA 2014 will unveil the 9th Trafotech International Conference on Transformers scheduled to be held on January 9-10 2014. The TRAFOTECH 2014, held once in four years, will provide transformer designers, manufacturers, users and consultants a common platform to review the latest advances and futuristic trends, share operational experiences and discuss the requirements of transformers for smart grid systems.

The ChangeXchange 2014 — 2nd Reverse Buyer-Seller Meet (RBSM), supported by the department of commerce, Ministry of Commerce & Industry, will allow participants from the African nations to meet more than 1,000 suppliers from India.

The ChangeXchange 2014 will be the biggest meeting place of international buyers who plan to source electrical products and

Technical Review Middle East - Issue Five 2013

equipment from India. The event will also feature Engineer Infinite 2014, through which ELECRAMA 2014 will continue its search for new talent in the field of electrical and allied engineering.

In the previous edition of ELECRAMA 2012, the RBSM received an unprecedented and overwhelming response from foreign buyers with 276 buyers from 31 countries including Africa, Latin America, ASEAN and CIS attending this mega event. African delegation was the largest and included 234 buyers from Benin, Botswana, Burundi, DR Congo, Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Malawi, Mali, Maurtius, Morocco, Mozambique, Nigeria, Senegal, South Africa, South Sudan, Sudan, Tanzania, Togo, Tunisia, Uganda and Zimbabwe.

The exhibitor list reveals most of the companies are Indian. Do you expect more international entries in the coming months? What efforts are being made to attract more companies?

By showcasing the ‘Go Global’ theme, India will be targeting a five per cent share of global trade in electrical equipment in the next ten years in order to help exports reach a level of US$25bn. IEEMA will also encourage African countries to participate in the forthcoming ELECRAMA 2014 event at Bangalore aimed at boosting electrical equipment exports.

With Africa being India’s fourth largest trade partner, bilateral trade between the two is estimated to reach US$100bn by 2015 (India’s investment in Africa exceeded US$35bn in 2011). The growing business traction between the two can be gauged from the fact that India has extended 150 lines of credit worth US$5.2bn to African countries.

Africa has about 54 countries with a combined population of around 6.5bn.

However, electrification in these countries is barely 30 per cent, which means there is scope of the rest 70 per cent to get electrified. With increasing trade between India and African countries gaining momentum over the years, we see a large untapped opportunity for our electrical equipment exports going ahead with the forthcoming ELECRAMA 2014 event carrying the message of ‘Go Global’. While the bilateral trade between the two is estimated to reach US$100bn by 2015, domestic power and electrical equipment is expected to play a vital role in boosting the exports as several African nations are focusing on electrification to meet the rising aspirations of their people. ■

Saudi Arabia

The Kingdom needs to boost its power resources

New power sector role for Aramco The world’s biggest oil producer Saudi Aramco is now exploring a whole new business area: power generation.

T

The Jizan power project marks a big step up for Aramco in the electricity generation sector

HE STATE-OWNED SAUDI company is keen to roll-out extra generating capacity not just to ease the nation’s energy crunch, but to guarantee electricity supply to its own huge network of oil and gas facilities and infrastructure up and down the country.

With spare upstream crude oil production capacity available for the world market if required, it has allowed the company to take on new projects across the energy spectrum, including more downstream work in refining and petrochemicals, as well as power generation.

And it’s a role that Aramco is being urged to take with officials increasingly focused on domestic issues, including raising the availability of power supply, utilities and other services for a fast growing economy and a youthful, aspiring population.

Getting to grips with the nation’s domestic energy challenges will also take some of the pressure off state power utility

Technical Review Middle East - Issue Five 2013

Saudi Electricity Corporation (SEC), which is leading a massive roll-out of new generating infrastructure.

A growing population means growing consumption, which means the domestic demand for energy could double by 2030, according to some projections.

Right now, Aramco is moving ahead on a large generation project, worth around US$2 billion, that will help supply the 400,000-barrel-per-day (bpd) Jizan refinery, in the kingdom's southwest.

The 2,400MW power project is to be built to provide 500MW of electricity to the US$7 billion heavy oil refinery which is now under construction at a nearby site.

The surplus capacity will be available for other downstream and industrial projects to be built at the new Jizan economic city.

Aramco appointed KBR to lead the frontend engineering and design (FEED) work on the new Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) project. www.technicalreview.me

Saudi Arabia

The US-based contractor is also working on the associated Jizan refinery project.

Once complete, it will be the largest gasifierbased power facility built in the world.

The IGCC complex will convert vacuum residue to electricity and utilities for industries around the Jazan economic city and the surrounding region.

Aramco's CEO Khalid al-Falih said the refinery and associated infrastructure will be the nucleus for the Jizan economic city and play a major role in the development of one of the kingdom’s poorer regions.

The Jizan power project marks a big step up for Aramco in the electricity generation sector but it is certainly not a one off.

In fact, the group’s involvement in the power sector dates back more than a decade with the formation of Marafiq, the power and water utility company for Jubail and Yanbu, back in 2000.

This Aramco venture - which groups it with the Royal Commission for Jubail and Yanbu, Saudi Basic Industries Corp. (SABIC) and the Public Investment Fund (PIF) produces and distributes electricity and potable water to the surrounding area as well as supplying seawater to industry and treating industrial wastewater.

At the end of 2012, contractors filed bids for three new Aramco co-generation power and steam plants at Abqaiq, Hawiyah and Ras Tanura.

It’s a different and much smaller proposition than Jizan, with a total capacity from all three installations of around 700MW, but these new projects will collectively propel Aramco into a key - and growing - power sector player in the Saudi market.

At present, the oil company has an estimated 2,000MW of installed generating power capacity internally, but it sees this rising to over 5,000MW by 2015 as new projects come onstream.

More is likely to follow with Aramco broadening its involvement in all areas of the energy chain.

And naturally that will include some participation in the kingdom’s high potential but lightly developed solar and renewables sector.

Saudi Aramco president and chief executive Khalid A. al-Falih recently inaugurated a 3.5MW solar energy field in Riyadh at the King Abdullah Petroleum Studies and Research Centre (KAPSARC).

The solar energy field was built over an area of 55,000 sq m, making it the biggest ground-mounted solar installation linked to the electricity grid in the country.

The surplus capacity will be available for other downstream and industrial projects to be built at the new Jizan economic city The facility will supply about 5,800MW hours of electrical energy annually, and offset carbon (CO2) emissions by about 4,900 tonnes every year.

The flagship installation, which underscores Saudi Arabia’s immense solar energy potential, uses 12,684 fixed-angle Polycrystalline PV panels provided by Suntech with 14.4 per cent efficiency, and maximum power of 280 watts at standard test conditions.

The DC power generated by the panels is collected and inverted to AC power through four inverters.

Ahead of this project, Aramco also built the world’s largest solar energy generation unit on a car park roof with a capacity of 10MW. And in King Abdullah University of Science and Technology, on the kingdom’s western coast, it has put together another facility with a capacity of 2MW. These pilot projects put Aramco in a strong position to exploit other emerging opportunities in the renewable energy segment and understand better the key technologies involved.

The landmark Riyadh solar field also highlights how Aramco’s power business is keen on innovation and breaking new ground, a role it has taken on admirably for years in the oil and gas sector.

The potential in the solar sector alone is simply immense.

The kingdom experiences roughly 3,000 hours of sunshine each year, emitting about 7,000 watts of energy per square metre, among the highest in the world, showing how great the potential for further renewables development.

In addition, there are vast open spaces of desert, where large solar farms can be established on relatively cheap real estate.

And the kingdom is also blessed with deposits of quartz which can be used in the manufacture of polysilicon and photovoltaic cells.

Outside the renewables segment, the company is also exploring innovative new power solutions to safeguard the integrity of its huge oil and gas infrastructure, the

Technical Review Middle East - Issue Five 2013

lifeblood of the Saudi economy.

In one example, Aramco worked with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries of Japan and SEC on a two-year project to develop a groundbreaking power generation concept at the Berri gas plant.

The Beri ‘islanding’ system, as it is known, means the plant can continue operating under its own power generation despite interruptions in electricity supply from the utility company.

The concept involves isolating the plant and its generators from the local power grid.

Previously, any disturbance from the grid could cause a blackout, disrupting operations and causing revenue loss and making flaring necessary.

The new system means plant generators can now withstand any disturbance to the power supply.

And it seems Aramco is intent on doing things the right way too, utilising state-of-the-art technology to reach for the best performance.

Saudi demand for electricity has increased by about seven to eight per cent annually for the past five years, which means being energy efficient in all areas of the industry, is a national priority.

It will mark a break from the past, however, with even Saudi’s oil minister Ali Naimi flagging up the country’s dismal energy efficiency levels up till now.

And even bolstering Aramco’s own power supply capacity could ease the country’s alarming dependence on its own oil for generation.

The kingdom may need to burn as much as three million bpd by 2020 to generate power if it doesn’t improve efficiency; the figure may already reach as high as one million bpd, according to forecasters.

The growth in local power and water demand is huge, and the investments required are huge.

These are big challenges ahead but now Saudi Arabia’s state oil giant is stepping up to the plate to ease at least some of the burden.

It’s a welcome new participant in such a challenging environment. ■

From September to December 2012, Khalifa port received 215,000 TEU

Khalifa Port shines brightly for shipping industry Following a tour of the recently-opened Khalifa Port, Technical Review spoke to Mohamed Juma Al Shamisi, executive vice-president - ports of Abu Dhabi Ports Company (ADPC) and chairman of Abu Dhabi Terminals, to talk about ADPC’s vision for the new mega port

A

“We are hopeful that 2013 will be a growth year and our target is to cross one million TEU” - Mohamed Juma Al Shamisi, vice-president ports, ADPC

DPC IS THE developer and manager of the new Khalifa Port and Khalifa Industrial Zone Abu Dhabi (Kizad).

The government entity has ambitious plans to make the port a central hub in the UAE and to grow Kizad into one of the world’s largest industrial zones.

The container terminals’ commercial operations were launched on 1 September last year, with the formal inauguration following on 12 December.

Al Shamisi noted, “It was a big deal for us that His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the UAE President, inaugurated Khalifa Port. Now we are in full swing there with 100 per cent of container shipments coming into Abu Dhabi, now handled through Khalifa Port.”

The port and free zone project represents the largest infrastructure undertaking in the emirate, with the Kizad Area A - including the port area - totalling 51 sq km in size. By 2030, Kizad Areas A and B are expected to form one of the largest industrial zones in the world at 418 sq km.

“We chose this location for the new port for two reasons: one is to be attached to Kizad, with Emirates Aluminium (Emal) already here and many other companies having already broken ground on some projects; the other factor was that at Mina Zayed we were reaching capacity,” explained Al Shamisi.

The port has been handling bulk shipments from Emal since 2010 and in December last year the first shipments of Emal’s final products took place.

Ahead of schedule The first phase of Khalifa Port and Kizad Area A was built at a cost of US$7.2bn and was successfully delivered ahead of time.

only semi-automated container terminal in the region.

“Phase one can cater for up to 2.5mn 20foot equivalent (TEU) containers and 12mn tonnes of general cargo a year, however, Khalifa Port has put in the infrastructure so that it can grow and expand capacity, as needed, in the future.”

Al Shamisi revealed that it has not been decided when the next phase will begin but the port could expand up to 15mn TEU and 35mn tonnes of general cargo if demand grew.

“We are very adaptive in terms of master planning and we are ready to kick in phase two whenever there is a need for it. The current infrastructure can handle five million TEU,” Al Shamisi said.

The port has been designed to handle the next generation of ultra-large container ships. The current depth of the port is 16 m but it has been designed to cater for 18 m in the future.

It includes six post-pamamax ship-toshore container cranes, 20 straddle carriers and 30 automated stacking cranes (ASC).

“We have already made an order for three more gantry trains and 23 ASC cranes,

Kizad push

Kizad will be the new centre for the logistics and transport sector in Abu Dhabi which will all be coming in Q1 2014,” Al Shamisi said.

ADPC will also order an additional three gantry cranes and 10 ASCs in Q2 or 3 of this year.

Al Shamisi explained, “We are hopeful that 2013 will be a growth year and our target is to cross one million TEU.” From September until December 2012, Khalifa port received 215,000 TEU, with the largest TEU shipment to come into the port being 16,000 TEU. “The port is designed and built to be a hub port. It will serve the organic growth of Abu Dhabi and Kizad – that is our main focus. But we will also cater for transshipment,” Al Shamisi stated.

Kizad will be the new centre for the logistics and transport sector in Abu Dhabi and, once complete, Kizad and Khalifa port will create 150,000 new jobs.

The industrial zone, which is designed for heavy industry manufacturers in the steel, aluminium, glass, paper and packaging sectors, has pre-built warehousing and logistical facilities. The zone will in the future also be linked to the Etihad Rail system.

“The downstream sector is an extremely important sector. Borouge is one of our biggest clients and will remain an extremely important client for us in Khalifa Port,” Al Shamisi said.

Al Shamisi maintained that all the new ports being built in the region would not all be in competition due to the shift of trade from the West to the East.

“Khalifa Port is strategically located in the UAE and the Gulf region, where we can serve Africa and Asia.

“As we have just launched, we will be focusing on establishing ourselves in 2013, while monitoring the market closely for existing and future opportunities for growth,” Al Shamisi concluded. ■

The governmentcontrolled company said that 3.6mn TEU (twenty-foot equivalent units) was shipped through Jebel Ali, a 5.4 per cent increase. Volumes of over 10mn TEU for the nine months up to and including September were also recorded, the first time this has been achieved. DP World handled 14.2mn TEU during the third quarter globally, while gross volumes were up by 2.4 per cent on a like-for-like basis. The company said that the increase was driven by the improved performance of its AsiaPacific and UAE terminals.

Centre Point Logistics and Gefco agree deal LOGISTICS COMPANIES CENTRE Point Logistics (CPL) and Gefco have signed an agreement that will see Dubai-based CPL give Gefco further logistic service support in the emirate. Signed by CPL chairman, Saleh Saeed Lootah and Stefano Pollotti, country manager for Gefco Middle East, the agreement will allow Gefco to provide their customers in the region with world-class services.

Gefco will benefit from utilising CPL’s 185,000 sq m logistics hub in Dubai's Jebel Ali free zone (Jafza), which will enable it to trade, store, export and transport goods in the Middle East.

Gefco, which is present in 150 countries, recently expanded its presence in the Middle East by opening its first office in Dubai and plans to continue investing in the region. "We are pleased to have Gefco to join our client base, we are more than keen to support their growth going forward," said Lootah.

"Gefco’s logistics needs will be supported at our logistics hub in Jafza.

With this agreement, we have gone one step ahead in the development of our global network to offer our clients the best in class solutions."

Barloworld reveals GCC survey findings BARLOWORLD LOGISTICS MIDDLE East has released the findings of its annual GCC supply chain foresight survey. The survey provided a snapshot of current perceptions of the supply chain and logistics in the GCC region. Respondents to the survey depicted an exciting, dynamic region which is rapidly changing and holds many opportunities and challenges.

“The focus on expansion and diversification is evident throughout,” said Barloworld Logistics Middle East managing director, John Wylie.

The survey was based on independent market intelligence conducted on behalf of Barloworld Logistics by international business consultancy firm, Dun & Bradstreet. A total of 365 top executives from a variety of industries in Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the UAE were surveyed about supply chain management in their countries.

The survey showed that with companies in the GCC region are susceptible to the global challenges of unpredictable order volumes, constant pressure to reduce costs, exposure to higher Barloworld Logistics’ levels of risk, and finding and retaining skilled people. Respondents ‘supplychainforesight’ survey 2013 said that they are looking to increase revenues by growing in existing markets and expanding into new regional and international territories, with the wider Middle East and African countries being the top priority. Obstacles to achieving these goals include frequently changing shipping rates, constant changes in government rules and regulations, inconsistent crossborder trade rules within the region, and congestion at ports.

Respondents ranked increased competition from regional and international companies and the unavailability of skilled resources as top constraints to achieving business objectives. Key supply chain objectives include improving customer service, minimising costs reducing complexity, increasing efficiency and performance, and upgrading and integrating fragmented IT systems.

Nearly a third (29 per cent) of respondents said they have an advanced understanding of supply chain management and use the latest IT systems to integrate logistics functions. The survey also showed that 58 per cent of companies across the GCC countries outsource part of their supply chain activities to third party service providers.

“Successful businesses acknowledge that other companies exist that are better equipped to perform certain functions or serve specific market needs,” said Wylie.

The quality of GCC infrastructure was rated as above average, particularly road and air infrastructure.

Respondents expressed the lowest satisfaction with existing port infrastructure, although heavy investment is being made across GCC countries to improve this. A GCC wide railway network and standardised customs procedures are the most desired infrastructure developments in the short term, with progress on these fronts also underway.

Investors plan GCC regional logistics firm GULF INVESTORS ARE considering establishing a logistics services company to streamline the flow of goods across the six Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) nations. Qatar Chamber of Commerce and Industry board member, Ali Abdul Latif Al-Misnad, said that a feasibility

study was currently under way.

He added that, if founded, the company would regulate companies and institutions involved in the GCC transport sector and work to remove any potential obstacles facing investors. The feasibility study was triggered following an initial agreement

by GCC investors to establish a private services company with branches in all six countries. The GCC land transportation committee is set to meet for further discussions in Riyadh, Al-Misnad was quoted as saying by Arab News.

He said that the company would help create investment opportunities in the Gulf transport sector and boost the gross domestic product of each participating country. It would also facilitate the movement of goods across borders and promote products in the GCC markets. www.technicalreview.me

SDLG helps Morocco get on the fast track The first SDLG excavators in North Africa are already at work, helping to make history in Morocco by playing an important role in the construction of the first high-speed rail line in the country.

T

Once completed, the 350-km rail line will link the country’s economic center, Casablanca with Tangier

HE MOROCCAN GOVERNMENT says the high-speed rail link under construction in the country will help boost infrastructure and serve as a much needed supplement to its current rail network, which has seen rail passenger traffic increase from 14mn in 2003 to some 34mn in 2012, according to figures from the O.N.C.F., the National Office for Railways.

The high-speed rail line is expected to carry up to 10mn passengers a year.

Hard at work on the construction of the new rail link are two LG6300 hydraulic excavators from SDLG - the first two excavators from the Chinese manufacturer to arrive in Morocco. The units are being used by Chinese contractor COVEQ, which is managing part of the building work on the project.

SDLG’s business director for Morocco, Abdelhalim Achattouss, said adding a new product line to SDLG’s offerings in the region reflected the company’s

Technical Review Middle East - Issue Five 2013

commitment to remaining a market leader in Morocco and the surrounding North African region. “SDLG’s wheel loaders are very well known in the North African market and they remain hugely popular with customers,” he said. “Of course, their competitive price makes them an attractive option initially, but once customers run them and see how durable they are and how easy they are to service they love them even more. We believe the line of SDLG excavators can become equally popular, as they share the same qualities of value, robustness and ease of maintenance.”

The LG6300 has a bucket capacity of 1.3m3 and a second generation Deutz EMR2 engine that offers more torque, lower fuel consumption, better emission levels and very low noise. Travel speeds for the unit are 3.2/5.1km/h and a GPS is also available.

Improved stability on the LG6300 comes from the wider chassis combined with reinforced X-shaped lower brackets on the www.technicalreview.me

extended crawler. This set up allows the unit to adapt well to different working conditions while all the time offering lower energy consumption and higher performance.

Other features of the LG6300 include dual-pump constant power negative flow control in the hydraulic system and a

control system with LCD color monitor, self-diagnostic technology and emergency fault alarm.

Once completed, the 350 km rail line will link the country’s economic centre, Casablanca, with one of the major cities in the north, Tangier, and cut travel times in half, to around two hours. Under a joint

agreement between Morocco and France, French companies are building most of the system, and ONCF will provide the passenger services, manage and operate the infrastructure, as well as fix installations and trainsets. The project is estimated to cost US$4bn and will start running in 2015. ■

Bobcat launches compact excavators BOBCAT HAS LAUNCHED two new compact excavators in the six to eight tonne weight range. The new E62 6 tonne and E85 8 tonne reduced tail swing (RTS) models replace the previous E60 and E80 models, respectively. The new excavators share many features and advances to maximise performance, versatility, operator comfort, durability, ease of maintenance and serviceability.

The E62 compact excavator is powered by the Stage IIIA compliant 36.2 kW liquid-cooled Yanmar 4TNV94L diesel engine running at a maximum speed of 2200 rpm, providing abundant power and reliability for a machine of this size. Electronic injection together with automatic idle ensures optimum fuel efficiency at all times.

The E85 model is powered by the Yanmar 4TNV98C-VDB8 Stage IIIB compliant diesel engine providing 44.3

E85

E62

kW of power at 2100 RPM and meeting Stage IIIB emission requirements through the use of exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) and diesel particulate filter (DPF) after-treatment technologies. Complementing the 10 per cent increase in power over the E80 model, the new E85 excavator offers a

much higher fuel efficiency, which is among the best on the market, Bobcat claimed in a press release.

In addition, both excavators feature upgraded hydraulic systems resulting in higher pressures and flows, generating smoother and greater digging and lifting performances.

Portable compressors from Doosan DOOSAN PORTABLE POWER says its portable compressor range is one of the most comprehensive for the Middle East market and includes not only a wide selection of Tier 3 High Ambient models, but also 14 Tier 1 or Tier 2 engine-powered models covering free air deliveries from 5.0 to 30.3 m3/min at output pressures from 7 to 25 bar.

Formerly branded Ingersoll Rand, the Doosan range is built to withstand the rigours of everyday applications in the toughest conditions in the Middle East.

The 7/51HA-T2, 7/71HA-T2 and C185WKUB-EX-T2 Tier 2 models, the smallest in the range, operate at a working pressure of 7 bar and are aimed at standard pressure applications in construction such as powering breakers and tools in road repair, demolition and refurbishment. For these applications, there are three or four air power outlets and a number of useful options.

Next in the series are the medium sized XP375WCU-T2, HP375WCU-T2 and P425WCU-T2 Tier 2 models which are based on a common platform and are aimed at similar applications, providing free air deliveries from 10.6 to 12.0 m3/min at output pressures from 7 to 10.3 bar. The higher pressures are designed for more specialist applications such as abrasive blasting, spray painting and optical fibre blowing.

There are four large Tier 2 compressors in the range – the XP750WCU-T2, HP750WCU-T2, HP935WCU-T2 and 9/235HA-T2 – delivering 21.2 to 30.0 m3/min of compressed air at pressures from Technical Review Middle East - Issue Five 2013

Built to withstand the rigours of the regional market

8.6 to 10.3 bar. These cover not only standard pressure applications, but also more specialist uses including drilling and standby/temporary compressed air for industry.

With free air deliveries from 26.0 to 30.3 m³/min, the extra large XHP900SCAT-T1, XHP900WCAT-T1 and XHP1070WCAT-T1 compressors from Doosan have pressure outputs up to 25 bar for applications where high pressures are critical such as quarry drilling, industrial processes and pipeline testing and commissioning.

All these Tier 1 and Tier 2 models are complemented by a range of 12 High Ambient Tier 3 models with outputs from 2.6 to 30 m3/min and working pressures from 7 to 21 bar. www.technicalreview.me

Energy costs rise by as much as 10 per cent in the European Union and Japan each year

ATELY, MANY PLAYERS in the global steel industry have experienced some difficult times.

According to statistics from the World Steel Association, global raw steel production for September 2013 inched up by 1.6 per cent from a month ago, to 130.35mn metric tonnes.

Much of the industry’s woes stem from the high cost of energy, that in turn escalate production costs. Energy costs rise by as much as 10 per cent in the European

L

Union and Japan each year, prompting countries like Germany to shift their production overseas.

At the same time, labour costs show no signs of easing in these countries, where many companies have been forced to reduce their employee strength. As a result, presently about 50mn tonnes of steel lie idle in the European Union.

On the other hand, the rising competition from China is proving to be quite daunting for steel manufacturers from other parts of

the globe. Recent statistics from the World Steel Association reveal that one out of every two tonnes of steel being produced around the world comes from China.

China exports over 30mn tonnes of steel each year, which is still less than 10 per cent of its output on the mainland. The Asian country also buys very little high-spec material in return.

Amidst these challenging conditions, the Middle East’s steel industry is maturing at a considerable pace.

Experienced players like Abu Dhabi-based manufacturer Emirates Steel, Saudi Arabia’s Zamil and Mobarakeh Steel are banking on energy cost advantages from subsidies and by developing skilled labour to buck the trend. According to the International Monetary Fund, energy subsidies in the Middle East and North Africa account for about half of the global energy subsidies.

These companies are also benefitting from the marked increase in infrastructure projects in the Middle East, as nearly onehalf of the global output of steel caters to the demands of the construction industry.

The pipelines sector, in particular, in markets like the UAE and Saudi Arabia, is growing strong.

Companies in the region, however, are looking to address the challenges in the steel industry, as well as dealing with the rising competition from the Far East in major conferences this year, to pave the way for their future.

Speakers at this conference included senior executives from Saudi Aramco, Emirates Steel, Solb and Zamil.

In piping, topics such as developing international standards, technological advancements in different forms of welding, non-destructive testing and improvements in tensile properties were discussed.

When it came to structures, topics on steel-making processes, design of components, material traceability and welding were discussed.

Speakers deliberated about coatings failures in steel protection along with cathodic protection of steel and inspections in onshore and offshore projects.

Another conference, the 16th Middle East Iron & Steel Conference is due to take place later this year between 9 and 11 December 2013. UAE’s Al Ghurair Iron & Steel, the Arab I&S Union, Emirates and Kobe Steel, Siemens VAI, as well as a delegation from

Iran that includes Mobarakeh Steel, are some key supporters of this event.

Topics to be covered at this conference include tariffs and quotas in the region, the rise of Egypt’s steel industry, how the many different grades of steel are faring demandwise in the global markets, raw materials pricing trends, increasing efficiency with new technologies and streamlining the supply chain. Developments in China’s steel industry, where many new plants are coming on stream, will also be touched upon in the conference. ■ www.technicalreview.me

Innovation takes centre stage as The Big 5 returns M

ORE THAN 60,000 construction professionals will be expected to descend on Dubai World Trade Centre in late November as the region's flagship construction exhibition rolls back into town.

For more than 30 years, The Big 5 has been at the forefront of construction industry events across the Middle East.

While buildings have continued to rise out of the sand across the Middle East and the number of construction industry events taking place across the region has multiplied, The Big 5 has managed to maintain its relevance as the Gulf's leading construction show.

Held in a city with an ever-changing landscape, The Big 5 has remained consistent as ever, providing construction professionals with a range of solutions for a multitude of sectors, including steel, marble, coatings, HVAC, water technology and concrete.

While it has maintained its status as the region's leading construction show, The Big 5 has never sat still, evolving over the years to meet the demands of the Middle East's fast-paced construction industry.

"We regularly host focus groups and meet with our advisory board members who help us each year to build an event that is relevant for those professionals who influence the procurement of construction products," commented Andy White, group event director at event organiser dmg :: events.

Introducing interiors The annual event incorporates a number of sector-specific areas, including PMV Live, Middle East Concrete and, for the first time this year, the Building Interiors zone. The zone will feature products related to kitchens and bathrooms such as ceramics and fittings.

"Our research has shown us that there is a clear need for a dedicated zone for building interiors products, particularly for the interior designers and architects who attend our show," explained White. "A common misconception is that The Big 5 is a building-products-only event, however, for many years we have also hosted some of the world’s top interiors brands at the event."

Technical Review Middle East - Issue Five 2013

PMV Live and Middle East Concrete (MEC) will return with a renewed sense of optimism flowing through both industry sectors.

"As event organisers, we are definitely seeing a real momentum in the industry, gearing up for a positive 2014 and beyond," said PMV Live event director Nathan Waugh. "With a number of big infrastructure and transport projects underway and in the pipeline, the PMV market sees significant opportunities within these sectors, which will contribute to its growth in the coming years."

MEC will this year focus on concrete application efficiency as the sector works to understand how concrete technologies can contribute to more sustainable building practices. According to dmg :: events, the demand for concrete has been valued at more than US$49bn within the GCC over the next two years, but the educational content at this year’s MEC will see concrete professionals come together to share challenges and solutions for efficient and sustainable applications, while keeping pace with demand. www.technicalreview.me

Waugh, who combines his role on PMV Live with that of event director of Middle East Concrete, said, "MEC continues to respond to visitor demand by expanding its educational programme. More companies than ever are coming forward to present their own findings and research on best practice solutions for a variety of issues including sustainability, maintenance, and new technologies."

The free-to-attend seminar theatre will host a range of industry professionals, discussing some of the latest, leading solutions from across the market, with participating companies including Grace Construction Products, Elematic, Fosroc and FADOX Group.

Spreading its wings As usual, the show will welcome exhibitors from a host of countries, including Turkey, the UK, China, the USA and India, while UAE home-grown firms will be looking to stand shoulder to shoulder with their international competitors to prove that the lofty ambitions of the region's leading contractors can be achieved by using their products.

Having exhibited at The Big 5 since 2011, UAE-based IBS Ramfoam will be one of the many local firms returning to DWTC this year.

Tim Mulqueen, commercial director for IBS Ramfoam, remarked, "There will be an estimated $5 trillion spent in the construction industry within the next four years. The UAE is really back and open for business."

Over the past 12 months, The Big 5 brand has spread it wings with sister events taking place in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and India. As the Big 5's international appeal grows, its regional

relevance is strong as ever with businesses from across the GCC using the platform to promote themselves to the market.

A recent Big 5 preparatory meeting, hosted by Tasdeer – the Qatar Development Bank's (QDB) export arm – attracted representatives from 33 Qatari companies.

QCD officials briefed the participants on the steps the bank will take to make a strong impact of Qatari companies at the Dubai trade fair.

At the main event Tasdeer will host the 360 sqm Qatar Pavilion.

Abdulaziz bin Nasser Al Khalifa, CEO of QDB, said, "Based on last year's successful event, we are proud to organise the Qatari companies' participation. The aim is to develop export opportunities and open new horizons for these companies, which are part of our main pillars at QDB, and thus enhance the role of the private sector in exports.

"We are helping them build strong global partnerships and introduce Qatari companies," he added.

Among the many foreign delegations from further afield will be the Arab Brazilian Chamber of Commerce, which will be bringing at least five companies, including ceramic facing firm Itagres, and ornamental stone companies PBA Stones and Pettrus.

Joining the Brazilian delegation will be Mauricio Buccini, a trader for the paint company Universo Tintas. The firm, making only its second appearance at the show, will look to continue building relationships it has already established with businesses from across the GCC, as well as making a host of new contacts.

"We are hoping to close a cycle initiated in 2010, when we went to the Feicon fair (in Brazil), where we came into contact

with a client from Abu Dhabi, Cristal," Buccini remarked.

"This year, the Arab Brazilian Chamber brought a delegate from the company to the Confederations Cup buyer project. He paid a visit to our headquarters, and we will meet with him at the Big 5. We will go to the fair to meet with this executive, and also to try and break into new markets."

Making its trade show debut will be RGenau Industries. The German firm plans to use the construction industry platform to launch its new range of surface technologies for the sanitary industry.

Sebastian Schäfer, responsible for international communication and project development at RGenau, said, "We chose The Big 5 as the first trade fair we will ever exhibit at because we see it as an excellent platform to introduce our new products and to establish business contacts."

Event director Andy White said, “The event has become synonymous with launching new products and innovations into the market, but to see so many international companies seeking out this opportunity for the first time this year is testament to the strength of the Middle East marketplace.”

There can be no doubt, despite setbacks in recent years, that the construction market across the GCC remains resilient, profitable and, perhaps most importantly, innovative.

The 2013 edition of Big 5 looks set to enhance the show's reputation for consistency by bringing the latest technologies and solutions from across the globe and introducing them to the Middle East. ■ The Big 5 takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre from 25-28 November

Briefly Taiwanese expertise JOINER FASTENER ENTERPRISE Co., Ltd. was founded in 2003 and is dedicated to becoming one of the most versatile screw manufacturers in Taiwan, with consistent product quality and excellent customised designs that are highly appreciated by customers everywhere. In recent years, the company has gradually shifted its sales emphasis to Japan, Europe and the Middle East aggressively tapping drilling screw markets there through its professional team of foreignlanguage-speaking sales people. The company’s general manager, Anthony Chuang, has 15 years of experience in the Japanese and European markets, cultivating a sharp awareness of how to lead business development there. Japan and Europe now account for 60 per cent of the firm’s total revenues, and the ratio is steadily rising. Joiner Fastener has been certified to ISO9001:2008 and ISO14001:2004 standards, and the company says its insistence on the constant improvement of product quality, technology, and professionalism is widely recognised and greatly appreciated by customers worldwide. General manager Chiang stresses that his company is well experienced in developing customised carbon steel and stainless steel screws based customer specifications. To meet the high quality requirements of its customers, the company says it has spared no effort to implement stringent quality controls at every step of the production process.

Looking to the future, Joiner aims to apply a flexible operating strategy, work closely with upstream and downstream vendors and cooperating partners, and further upgrade production and qualitycontrol capability so that the ratio of revenue contribution from the Middle East and Europe can grow to 80 per cent or even 100 per cent.

Joiner Fastener has given its development of international markets a boost in recent years by attending international trade shows.

This year’s participation includes the Architecture & Construction Materials 2013 show, held in Tokyo in March. The company manufactures drywall screws, chipboard screws, self-tapping screws, self-drilling screws, concrete screws and stainless steel screws.

MAN makes headway in MEA markets ROBUST, ECONOMICAL AND reliable, the MAN TGS is driven in national and near-border international long-haul transport. The TGS is designed consistently for cost savings with the MAN EfficientLine equipment packages. Deals conducted in the Middle East and in Africa recently underline the vehicle’s success.

MAN has delivered 440 trucks to Saudi Arabia, whilst expanding its Arabic service network. Food producer Almarai ordered 240 new trucks of the MAN TGS type from MAN Truck & Bus, rejuvenating its current fleet of 1,290 MAN longhaul trucks. Almarai conducts the distribution of its chilled foods and dairy products single-handedly and operates the vehicles around the clock to deliver heat-sensitive perishable goods to the entire Gulf region as well as Jordan and Egypt. The company had already ordered a major number of trucks for its fleet in 2009.

Furthermore, MAN has supplied 200 TGS tractors with TipMatic automated gearboxes to Global Specified Transport in Saudi Arabia.

The MAN TGS trucks are specially designed to meet the requirements of the Middle East regions and are thus optimally suited for the climatic conditions in the extreme heat and sand of the desert.

As a result of increased market demands, local MAN Truck & Bus Distributor Haji Husein Alireza Co. (HHA) announced plans to build three new service centres in the cities Jubail, Madinah and Khamis Mushait. In this context, HHA also strengthens the coverage of its mobile service fleet.

Meanwhile, the Nigerian construction company Julius Berger Nigeria PLC recently acquired 78 new MAN TGS trucks - off-road trucks with various

Analysis

Financing the billion dollar infrastructure headache Ambitious infrastructure plans are in place to develop economic and social infrastructure in order to meet the demands of the Middle East’s fast growing population

The increasing number of infrastructure projects planned or underway across the Middle East will require large amounts of financing. Nicholas Newman investigates where that investment will come from.

H

AVE YOU EVER wondered about the financing of the mega billiondollar infrastructure projects underway in the Middle East? There are US$157bn of rail and $500bn in powerrelated projects either planned or underway across the region. For many major infrastructure projects, governments and the private sector will have to resort to the world financial markets to raise the required capital.

New, more inventive forms of finance will need to be explored and marketed.

There are many challenges that consortiums face in order to ensure that there is sufficient money, at the right time and the right place, for the construction of new oil refineries, aluminium smelters, power plants, railways, roads and airports needed for the economic development of the region.

Throughout the Middle East, there are ambitious plans to develop the economic and social infrastructure in order to foster rapid economic development and to keep pace with the needs of a fast growing population. The Royal Bank of Scotland, in its Routes of Growth Study, 2011, forecasts that Middle Eastern infrastructure projects will require some $236bn between 2011 and 2030. There are $157bn of rail and $500bn in power-related projects planned or underway across the region. High youth

unemployment and the fear of social unrest, as well as the prospect of diminishing revenues from oil and gas, spur plans for diversification into higher value economic activities. A case in point is the joint public-private investment in Saudi Arabia between Saudi company Ma’aden and US firm Alcoa to construct a $10.8bn aluminium refinery and smelter near Jubail. This plant, which is due to come on stream in 2014, will use locally-mined bauxite and take advantage of new cheap energy supplied from the neighbouring 2300MW power and desalination plant.

Similarly, Saudi Arabia’s, Public Investment Fund is mostly funding the construction of a 7,000 km rail network in Saudi Arabia at a cost of around $45bn.

Trends in infrastructure Abu Dhabi has announced infrastructure project plans worth $1.5bn and Kuwait is expected to spend $36bn by 2030. Qatar plans to build at least eight power plants and water facilities worth $4.8bn, including the $3bn Qatar Facility D power project. In addition to the $140bn to be spent over the next decade on a rail system, a new airport, a seaport and hundreds of kilometres of major new roads, in addition to stadiums that will host the 2022 World Cup soccer tournament.

“Infrastructure investments in the Middle East, especially in the GCC saw, in 2013, a continued emphasis on utility, transportation and housing projects,” said Dr Thorsten Ploss, MENA Oil & Gas Leader, EY. Because of the Arab Spring, one industry insider has said, “more money than ever is being thrown at projects”. He added, “The main problem in most countries is the problem of human capital, there isn’t the local skilled workforce available to complete and operate many of these projects.”

Regulation In most Middle Eastern countries, there has been a tendency by governments to follow European best practice on investment and environmental regulations in order to attract international investors.

“There is no doubt that by encouraging legislative and governance changes megainfrastructure projects will be more investment-friendly. These frameworks will help monitor the overall performance of projects and provide checks and balances for governments and private sector participants,” suggested Dr Ploss.

Analysis

finance, such as government support in the form of cash or guarantees alongside bank loans, are falling due to budget constraints. Capital markets, development banks and sovereign wealth funds will remain important, but institutional investors and specialist infrastructure funds as growing sources of finance will join them. Given the speed and size of infrastructure projects planned and announced, governments in the region have accepted the need for outside capital.

One industry observer said, “There is now a greater willingness by governments to encourage non-government based finance.” This is especially the case in the development of economic infrastructure such as new power stations, ports and airports. However, many politicallyinspired projects, which are unlikely to make a profit such as the World Cup, being staged in Qatar in 2022, will still be funded by the state. As for social infrastructure, it is unlikely that the private sector will take much interest in funding the construction of new public housing, schools and hospitals.

a low of $12.5bn in 2011, this represents a steep decline from the $30bn provided in 2010 as noted in the World Bank, Global Economic Prospects, 2013 report.

The troubles of banks have raised the cost of loans and considerations of risk at a time when Middle Eastern projects are in competition with attractive commercial investment opportunities in Europe and elsewhere at lesser risk. Indeed, many Middle Eastern sovereign wealth funds are investing in Europe. The consequences are recorded in a survey conducted by Price Waterhouse Coopers (PwC) entitled Delivering the Middle East's Mega Projects, 2013, in which it was reported that more than half of respondents said that their projects had been delayed, scaled down, or cancelled due to funding constraints.

Impact of the global financial meltdown and Eurozone economic crisis About 50 per cent of cross-border syndicated lending in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), in terms of dollar value, came from European institutions in recent years, observed Standard Charter's global chief executive for non-US operations.

In 2010, Middle Eastern companies raised $52.34bn in the global loan market, according to Thomson Reuter’s data. Since the economic crisis in the Eurozone and, in anticipation of the Basel 3 banking reforms, together with the tightening of European banking regulations, European bank lending – especially by French Banks to this region – has fallen. However, as Annie McMahon, managing director of Société Générale’s European Structured Finance Loan Syndicate Department, said, “There’s no denying that the impact of Basel 3 is profound, but good projects are still attracting the required debt finance.”

Moreover, since the global financial meltdown the number of active international financiers has dropped leaving Middle Eastern local and regional banks to bridge the funding gap. In addition, while private capital flows to developing countries in the MENA region are expected to rise to $17bn in 2013 from

More than US$150bn is expected to be invested in rail projects across the Middle East in the coming years

Alternative sources of finance and financial instruments According to Hasan Mustafa, head of CEEMEA Debt Capital Markets and Risk Solutions, it is unlikely that local banks in the region will be able to fill the void left by the major international banks despite their increasing involvement in the local liquidity markets. Innovatory financial instruments such as project bonds and specialist infrastructure funds are coming to the rescue. Mustafa suggests that Project Bonds may be a great way to plug the gap left by international banks because they allow access to large international pockets of non-bank money such as insurance companies and pension funds.

Project bonds, issued by infrastructure corporate developers are an increasingly important method of financing infrastructure projects. A case in point is the successful raising of approximately $825mn maturing in 2036 for the Shuweihat power and desalination plant complex in Abu Dhabi. Another example is that of the $1bn bond issue for the funding of a UAE energy project. This UAE project

Technical Review Middle East - Issue Five 2013

bond attracted the attention of fund managers, pension funds and insurance companies from the USA, Europe and Asia.

A number of Gulf companies, including Abu Dhabi National Energy Company (TAQA), have been setting up bond programmes to access Asian investors, especially in Malaysia. Mike Turnbull, head of infrastructure capital markets for Europe, the Middle East and Africa at Bank of America Merrill Lynch, said, “Insurance companies prefer situations where the construction risk has already been removed – although they’re very happy to do incremental capital expenditure [such as maintenance].” He adds, “It’s too simplistic to say they’re replacing banks.”

It is believed that project bonds, such as those issued by GCC states, could become attractive to investors looking for a higher yield because the projects are typically backed by more financially-sound and higher-rated governments and have more stable cash flows than non-oil rich states in the region.

Increasingly, institutional investors are using corporate and project bonds to diversify their risk and to match their longterm liabilities with long-dated infrastructure bonds with the added bonus of enhanced returns in a low-yield environment. It is expected that infrastructure investment will become a major asset class for private sector investors in the years to come.

Diversification of sources of infrastructure investment have been supported by Deutsche Bank MENA chairman Henry Azzam, who suggests that regional firms would need to look to Islamic bonds, export credit agencybacked facilities and Asian capital markets to fill the gap left by European capital markets, commercial banks and fund managers. These alternative funding sources, together with new financial instruments give rise to different challenges and financing considerations, including hedging, inter-creditor issues and appropriate risk allocation virtually absent from traditional sources and methods of finance.

Conclusion It is becoming clear that the forthcoming boom in infrastructure projects in the Middle East will strain local financing and will require government and private sector developers to tap new sources of finance and make use of new innovatory financial instruments. ■ www.technicalreview.me

Ubiquitous excavators are versatile machines All hydraulic excavator models come with some basic features that make the ‘beast’ suitable for a range of work across terrains; here is an appraisal of some digger basics

L Whether rubbertracked one-tonne mini or the huge 700 tonne-plus machines, the basic excavator design is essentially the same.

ARGE OR SMALL, all hydraulic excavators consist of a hinged boom and stick assembly, a digging bucket or other attachment, a 3600 rotating platform that holds the cab, an engine, counterweight and hydraulic system, all carried on some kind of undercarriage, which may have a useful blade attachment fixed.

The excavator or digger has always been the most versatile machinery on any construction site.

Whether rubber-tracked one-tonne mini (compact) or the huge 700 tonne-plus machines from the likes of Komatsu and Liebherr, the basic design is essentially the same. It is always a slewing powerhouse on top of a framework that can move under its own power.

Attached to the end of the ubiquitous boom, which usually only moves up or down under the control of the operator is a dipper arm, sometimes referred to as a stick. With

its attachment like a bucket or lifting hook, usually only temporarily fixed to the end, the arm provides the digging force needed to impact the attachment usefully on the ground, or perform one of a host of other functions. This available force is part of the manufacturer’s specifications which frequently cover more than 20 separate points and therefore have to be interpreted by an expert.

Available reach and break-out power are subsumable sub-categories of this useful specification at the business end. Large wide buckets with straight cutting edges are normally used for excavating in soft materials such as unconsolidated soil, aggregate and wet clay, also for levelling and cleaning up the worksite before further operations take place.

Smaller general-purpose buckets are specifically designed with cutting teeth to break through hard ground including country rock and old concrete. Many www.technicalreview.me

variants of these basic buckets can be found locally, and many of these nowadays come equipped with quick-change couplings which can be safely operated from within the cab.

Suppliers encourage users to employ only buckets supplied from their own (usually very comprehensive) product ranges, but the reality is that many African customers have been mixing-and-matching their attachments quite happily for years. Indeed, the hire and repair of basic excavator buckets has become an informally profitable and very useful roadside industry in many parts of the continent. The range of other attachments available is endless, and the more specialised these become (demolition breakers and log- and pipelinehandling devices, for example) the more important it is to use original-supplier equipment that is designed to match the front end of the basic digger.

Most of the hydraulic controls that have been at the core of these machines are operated electronically these days, requiring only finger-tip movement of a series of socalled joysticks that can be worked with simultaneously by skilled operators.

Excavators have always been a versatile machinery on any construction site

The machines are equipped with a series of hydraulic pumps, usually two that supply fluid under very high pressure to operate all the heavy cylinder-actuated movable components that do the actual work, and a third pump of much lower specification that supplies pilot-control power to reduce the amount of effort needed to operate the controls themselves.

Over the years endless improvements have been incorporated into this basic architecture to improve the appeal of these

UAE infrastructure projects worth US$690bn THE UAE CURRENTLY has a portfolio of US$690bn worth of infrastructure projects, a senior official at a strategic government body said recently.

“The UAE is considered as one of the world’s most rapidly growing economies with some of the most complex and largescale projects under construction. The rapid expansion of the UAE and Abu Dhabi requires more projects, qualified workforce for these projects, demand for housing, and demand for healthcare and demand for education and energy and, more importantly, project managers,” said Mohammad Al Hammadi, chief executive officer of the Emirates Nuclear Energy Corporation (Enec), at the inauguration of the Emirates Project Management Academy (EPMA) in the capital.

The body has been established with a mission to foster local and international co-operation in the field of project management in the UAE. Currently, Al Hammadi said only 0.78 per cent of all certified project managers in the world are based in the UAE, adding EPMA’s mandate is to build project management practice in the UAE, that includes both the UAE nationals and expatriates. It is part of the UAE Vision 2021 to prepare UAE nationals to handle mega projects in the UAE. “There is a substantial need to increase the pool of certified project managers to, not only ensure that projects are constructed on time and within budget but more importantly in a safe and quality-driven manner,” he added.

Separately, Al Hammadi said the UAE under its civil nuclear programme is constructing four nuclear energy plants in Barakah. www.technicalreview.me

machines, and shift more heavy metal as well as dirt.

Recently, these have been mostly in the form of the electronics incorporated, the main goal being greater productivity in terms of fuel burned. But, there have been lots of others, perhaps the ‘zero tail-swing’ concept being one of the most significant.

This incorporates the counterweight vital for effective digging within the confines of the slewing frame, thereby allowing use in tightsite usually urban conditions. ■

HLG wins JAFZA contract HABTOOR LEIGHTON GROUP (HLG) has signed an agreement with Jebel Ali Free Zone (Jafza) to construct the next phase of the Jafza One-Jafza Convention Centre complex in Jebel Ali, Dubai.

The project site, which is located on Sheikh Zayed Road, comprises one of the Convention Centre’s two twin-tower commercial buildings, housing more than 450 offices and spanning a total built A ‘significant’ contract up area of 72,200 sq m.

HLG’s scope of works includes completion of the fit-out of one of the twin-towers, in addition to completing associated external road works.

HLG CEO and Managing Director, José Antonio López-Monís, said the contract with Jafza is of great significance to HLG. “We are proud to continue our partnership with Jafza on this important project and to conclude one element of what will in time become one of the most successful economic and logistics hubs in the region.

“HLG is looking forward to delivering this project to Jafza’s high standards and working with Jafza to reach an agreement regarding completion of the remaining elements of the Convention Centre later this year,” Lopez-Monis said.

HLG commenced work on the Jafza One-Jafza Convention Centre Complex in 2007 when the group first partnered with Jafza to deliver the project, which includes a convention centre, hotel, commercial towers and associated exhibition and recreation facilities.

Formwork

The next generation of formwork technology With large-scale – and increasingly complex – construction projects on the rise in the Middle East, formwork companies are continually creating new innovative solutions to meet, and exceed, demand

A

KEY PLAYER IN the industry, UKbased RMD Kwikform has recently been increasing its presence in the Middle East, and, in particular, Oman.

The company’s shoring solutions were selected by Larsen & Toubro Oman LLC (L&T Oman) to support construction of Salalah International Airport, which caters for up to one million passengers per year.

The US$765mn airport project, which was completed in June 2013, involved the construction of a passenger terminal building, an air traffic control tower, eight

ancillary buildings, roads and bridges, with RMD providing shoring solutions for the terminal building and ancillary buildings.

RMD shoring equipment, including the 120kN Alshor Plus, 80kN Rapidshor, Aluminium Albeam and GTX timber beams, were used on the project, with different design solutions devised for each of the buildings based on the thickness of the slab being supported, the company claimed.

Bellphine Campbell from RMD said, “We had to supply shoring for a slab area of more then 40,000 sq m, making this a large-scale project that demanded an incredibly high level of efficiency and communication between the design and construction teams.

“This was particularly important to meet the initial deadline for the passenger terminal building. The structure had numerous one-metre high plinth beams, and L&T Oman didn’t have time to backfill to start shoring. We solved the problem by spanning the Alshor frames over the plinth beams, saving time for the contractor without having to use additional equipment,” Campbell added.

Carillion Alawi meanwhile utilised RMD’s self-climbing wall formwork system, Tru-lift, on the 100 m tall air traffic control tower at the new Muscat International Airport.

Construction on the 12mn capacity airport is expected to be completed by 2014, with three subsequent expansions planned to boost capacity to a total of 48mn passengers per annum.

Steve Phillips, resident director – Oman at RMD Kwikform commented, “We had to get approval from civil aviation and airport authorities that would allow us to cross height zones. This extra work required a greater level of input from the team and focused the need for a fast, safe solution to the construction of the tower.

“This is why we opted for the Tru-lift system, which requires a minimal number of components, ensuring quick and easy www.technicalreview.me

erection while maximising construction cycle times. This allowed the contractor to meet its deadline, despite the organisational hurdles that they faced,” Phillips added.

According to RMD, the design of the tower consisted of two elevator shafts running parallel to the top of the tower, on which the control station will be built. Eight Tru-lift cylinders were used, and with the systems capability to be raised in one jack stroke during the lifting cycle, no additional crane was required to lift the forms, the company added.

Carillion project manager Neil Crofts said, “This was the first time we have worked on the construction of a tower this size, making the selection of the wall formwork system essential.”

The Tru-lift solution utilises a reusable tapered form tie system, eliminating the use of sacrificial hardware and ultimately driving down construction costs, RMD claimed.

The company said the complete system can be raised during the lifting cycle, maximising its effectiveness. The system also has three levels of fully covered platforms, creating a completely safe and protected working environment, it added.

Doka has meanwhile launched its SKE 50 plus and SKE 100 automatic climbing formwork systems.

With load capacities ranging between five and 10 tons per climbing unit, the system applications vary widely: the technology covers applications from highrise cores and industrial structures to bridge piers and pylons, Doka said.

The results can be accessed on a secure web portal and users can be alerted by email or text message as soon as the specified early strength has been reached, Doka said.

The company’s other new products include the Dokadek 30, a lightweight steel construction with galvanised and powder-coated frames and an Xlife sheet with built in plywood, it said.
