Agenda / East Tanzania signs US$1bn power agreement with American firms The energy firms General Electric (GE) and Symbion Power Tanzania Ltd have signed up to a US$1bn gas-powered project with the government of Tanzania. The contract will see the two companies bolstering the supply of energy in the country, which for many decades has been problematic. The agreement is geared towards developing a 400MW gas-powered plant in Mtwara to boost electricity in the south and the rest of the country. Tanzanian Minister for Energy and Minerals Professor Sospeter Muhongo has said that the partnership between his government and Symbion Power Tanzania Ltd would enhance the nation’s energy sector.

“It is obvious that the signing of this agreement will enable the country to enjoy reliable electric supply, which will lead to the improvement in economic activities and thus economic growth among Tanzanians,” he said.

Cementing a productive partnership The two companies will be working closely with Tanzania Electric Supply Company Ltd. (Tanesco). The minister added that the project would include the provision of power to the cement factory, which is being built in Mtwara region, in the southern part of Tanzania. It is being constructed by the Nigerian firm Dangote. The country is expected to double its cement production capacity by 2015 when a US$450mn cement

factory will be completed, and to produce three million metric tonnes annually.

Moreover, the cement price is expected to drop in line with the utilisation of natural gas.

The price of cement per tonne has been high in Tanzania as a consequence of high energy costs and dependence on imported clinker.

At the moment a 50kg bag of cement is sold at Sh14,000 (US$8.5). He said that the project was one of the outcomes of the natural gas discovered in Mtwara which would bring many benefits to Tanzanians. The agreement was signed by the president of GE, Mr Jay Ireland and general manager of Symbion Power Tanzania Ltd, Mr Don Brindle and witnessed by the Minister, Prof Muhongo.

Mr Ireland said his company committed to partnering with stakeholders to make sure there was economic growth in the country. According to Mr Ireland, lack of reliable power was a main obstacle for Tanzania and other African countries’ development. He said, “It is obvious that nothing could be done without reliable energy, our economy stands on energy.”

Mr Ireland observes that Tanzania has been and continues to grow very fast and that there may be no way the country could continue with such speed without reliable energy power.

airobi will welcome over 500 power professionals on 10-11 September for the 15th edition of the East African Power Industry Convention (EAPIC). Uganda’s Energy Minister, the Honourable Engineer Irene Muloni, and Mr Mugo Kibati, CEO Kenya Vision 2030, head up a high-level industry expert speaker line-up that will address issues from government, financial and regulatory environments, to generation, transmission and distribution.

Challenges to power industry EAPIC director Christa Robijn says this year’s programme addresses the various challenges in the region’s power industry: “Unstable and unreliable electricity supply are the biggest contributors to slow economic growth. High demand puts pressure on already aged infrastructure, causing frequent black outs. The region’s reliance on hydroelectric production has made it vulnerable to climate change impacts,” he comments.

Regional experts from Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda and Rwanda, as well as international speakers from South Africa, Germany, Indonesia, India and Iceland will address the conference. According to the EAPIC director the industry is keen to learn from what is happening in the global power industry as well as from each other.

“For the first time we have a track dedicated to geothermal energy, looking at what this source of energy means for this region on the continent, financing options, specialised technologies and exploration challenges,” she said. “We are confident that we have brought together some of the industry’s most influential power professionals and will deliver more than just content, but solutions and technologies, emerging relationships and valuable knowledge that translates into new business.“ www.eapicforum.com www.africanreview.com

Agenda / South Developing a data centre in SA Web hosting company Hetzner (Pty) Ltd is building a data centre in Samrand in Gauteng, South Africa, which is expected to open its doors late 2013. The new facility, with a hosting capacity of 1,200m², can house in excess of 12,000 servers. This will increase the company’s national capacity to meet growing customer demand as well as allowing Hetzner to expand its existing product line with the introduction of co-location services to the Gauteng market.

Athena Turner, marketing and communications manager for Hetzner, says that with this new development the company is building for growth, ensuring that Hetzner continues to deliver a reliable and long-term value proposition to its customers.

“Hetzner South Africa’s building design and data centre efficiencies have been modelled off of Hetzner Online’s German facilities, including reducing our dependency on power intensive air-conditioning. Whenever the ambient temperature allows for it, we will make use of direct free cooling which reduces power consumption significantly,” Turner commented.

Hetzner is taking a phased approach with the first of five data centres under construction, in what is to become a sophisticated data centre park.

Powering up at Silo 1 in Cape Town Zest WEG Group’s Genset Division is supplying a custom engineered genset solution to the Silo 1 building project in Cape Town. The hybrid modern-meets-historical building comprises nine storeys, three of which are basement levels. In what is set to become a Cape Town landmark when completed, the Silo 1 structure will provide 18 500m² of office space, 300m² of retail space and 3,500m² of residential space divided into 31 apartments. A six-storey central atrium completes the picture.

The contract was awarded to Zest WEG Group’s Genset Division based on the company’s submission of a commercial and technical solution. The company is responsible for the design, assembly, installation and commissioning of the gensets. The engines are Tier 3 emissioncompliant, which is currently the highest level

for production engines.

“Because it was necessary to provide sound attenuation to a residential level, the design and engineering required the inclusion of special inlet and outlet air attenuator splitter assemblies. The exhaust systems are designed and manufactured in-house to ensure that the exhaust breakout noise is within the limitations of the local bylaws,” says Bruce McCracken, from Zest WEG Group’s Genset Division’s Cape Town offices.

McCracken points out that the company will provide three 350 kVA and two 500 kVA generator sets.

“These units operate in parallel as the load demand dictates. In addition, we will supply one 500 kVA genset as a standalone unit for emergency backup for the residential complex situated on the existing Silo site which is within the greater waterfront precinct.”

Zambian aquaculture industry set to grow

Z

ambia’s aquaculture industry is expected to double production before the end of 2013, with the expected increased tonnages to be produced in Siavonga, in the country’s Southern Province. Fish production company Yalelo will, within the next 18 months, establish an additional 34 cages to the current 16, which is expected then to produce about 7,000 mature fish per annum.

Lake Harvest is the other fish growing company located on Lake Kariba.

Yalelo executive chairman Fisho Mwale said the company had began full production of tilapia following the receipt of environmental licence from the Zambia Environmental Management Agency (ZEMA).

“Within the next 18 months, we are aiming for 7,000 tonnes per annum and the site is active. We are building our 50 ponds hatchery at a cost of about US$600,000. We require about 20mn fingerlings for this kind of production which we cannot find in Zambia. There is still the need for fish food which can be supplied by the locals. We are talking of about US$2mn for the fish feed,” he said.

He added that the company is putting up two cages per week.

“The cages hold approximately 300,000 fish, which grows to a biomass of 80 tonnes per cage. This will be on an incremental basis until we attain the number 52 cages per one area which will be the largest production ever achieved in terms of fish,” Mwale said. “We have since increased our cages from two cages which we had on an experimental basis to 16. We are putting one cage per week and each cage yields 80 tones. We are talking about an average of 25 tonnes per week which will be 100 times per month. It will be consistent; it will be throughout until we reach our optimum cage number of 52 tonnes from one site.” www.africanreview.com

Agenda / West Pumps for mineral sands plant Weir Minerals Africa is currently delivering a pump order for a greenfields mineral sands plant in West Africa that includes the supply of two of the largest mill discharge pumps in the company’s range - its 750 mm MCR pumps, each weighing in at 45 tons.

Weir Minerals Africa is one of the few manufacturers of mill discharge pumps of this size and the components necessary to assemble the two pumps were sourced from its operation in Chile and shipped to one of its South African sites, where a trial assembly was successfully conducted. Owing to their size, the two Warman MCR pumps will be shipped via Port Elizabeth to Dakar. The pump order, comprising more than 60 units, follows in the wake of two earlier Dave Athey regional managing director: Middle East orders for the same project that included rubber and Africa, Rob Fawcett operations and engineering director and staff of Weir Minerals Africa in front of a dredging hoses and rubber linings for chutes Warman MCR 750 mill discharge pump and tanks.

The latest order for pumps includes Warman AH units, which have become the world's standard for the most difficult slurry duties, from 12/10 down to 1.5/1. Warman AH pumps are among Weir Minerals Africa’s most popular pump ranges and their footprint is steadily increasing on the African continent. Warman L Series medium duty water and transfer pumps, incorporating the same design points as the AH pump, but which are fitted with higher efficiency impellers, have also been specified for this mineral sands project.

Rui Gomes, product manager: slurry pumps at Weir Minerals Africa, says many of the pumps in this order are being supplied with mechanical seals, which is quite uncommon in the African slurry market, although well accepted in the rest of the world.

“Mechanical seal designs have improved and are more specifically geared for the slurry market, which work well for our sealing arrangement requirements,” he comments. “The fact that mechanical seals have been specified as part of an order for an African application is a good indication that this trend will soon also be reflected on this continent. West Africa provides many growth opportunities and this order has been a great opportunity to manufacture liners for some of these pumps in-house at our newly built polyurethane plant in Alrode. Apart from the cost efficiency factor, this has also greatly improved our lead times.”

Trading in hospitality, food and beverages

“T

he hospitality and food industries in sub-Saharan Africa are on the verge of explosive growth due to rapid economic expansion across the region,” says John Thomson of Johannesburg-based expo organiser Exhibition Management Services (EMS). “West Africa is about to get a big taste of the good life this year with its own hospitality, food and beverage expo.”

Thomson has joined forces with Ghanabased Events and Projects International (EPI) to stage Hospitality and Foodbiz West Africa, a trade exhibition centred on the food, beverage and hospitality industries.

The exhibition takes place at the Accra International Conference Centre in Ghana from 2 to 4 October 2013.

Thomson says, “Ghana exemplifies the growth that is possible in Africa; that’s why it’s a paradise for entrepreneurs. It has a stable political climate and advanced infrastructure, strong economic growth of over eight per cent and a fast-growing middle class with money to spend.”

Thomson is very enthusiastic about the positive changes taking place in many countries across Africa. What is highly encouraging is that this stability trend is steadily spreading to other countries in the region on the back of World Bank incentives, promoting a positive environment for stronger economic growth and even more business opportunities.

“One of the best economic indicators for any country or region is the number of hotel rooms it has,” continues Thomson.

“The well-known W Hospitality Group has increased its room count in sub-Saharan Africa by a massive 42 per cent in the last five years. And another big hotel operator, Accor, is also expanding its footprint; it already has 54 hotels in 14 countries across Sub-Saharan Africa, clearly an important region for its business. Accor is planning to add another 5,000 rooms by 2016 and open 35 new hotels by 2020, all in Africa.” www.exhibitionsafrica.com www.africanreview.com

Driving growth in Ghana’s banking sector Global markets are weak and commodity prices are declining including oil and gold, however banks in Ghana have seen strong growth

G

hana is showing signs that its economy has great potential for growth if it can transform its financial system from an extractive to a production one. The hope - and the expectation - is that the nation is empowered to promote sustainable growth further over the medium to longterm.

Banks in the country have been aiming towards improving customer value in order to sustain profitable growth. Furthermore, the sector is expected to see major transformation across all sectors, the biggest driving force being the regulator and regulation.

The 2013 Ghana Banking survey which was carried out and published by the global accounting firm PricewaterhouseCoopers, revealed that ECOBANK has been ranked, for a consecutive year, top in terms of the bank with the largest assests in the country.

There has been a rise in banks’ paid-up capital requirements, the undertake of IFRS for reporting performance, and the roll out of risk-based banking supervision.

Investments contributing to growth Private and institutional investors are investing more and more in Ghanaian banks; these include International Finance Corporation (IFC), Etablissements Delhaize Freres (DEG), Propaco, FinancieringsMaatschappij voor Ontwikkelingslanden (FMO) and Kedari nominees.

Banks have projected that institutional banking customers will continue to be at the centre of processing transactions in the banking industry, followed by SMEs. Bank executives revealed that the sheer capacity and income streams of institutional or corporate banking customers would

cause them to demand huge amounts of the resources put up by the banking industry.

The SME sub-sector is the next industry expected to make a noticeable contribution to bank incomes and revenues.

Ghana has set-up focused SME departments in some banks and have acquired capacity to address the demands of SMEs. Banking decision-makers further noted that mid-tier income retail customers will always be key to their business, contributing low deposits and helping to optimise net interest margins and profits.

The oil and gas sub-sector and economic sectors are expected to make a huge difference to future incomes and revenues, as the “most likely” area of growth.

Banks in the country have generally understood the requirements to acquire requisite capability (capital and knowledge in the industry) to transform the opportunities into business transactions.

they will continue to borrow from banks.

Bank executives revealed that the sheer capacity and income streams of institutional or corporate banking customers would lead to them demanding significant amounts of the resources put up by the banking industry.”

The Ghanaian economy has demonstrated an annual GDP growth of 14.4 per cent in 2011 compared to 8.0 per cent in 2010.

Growth in Ghana’s agricultural sector, however, has continued to be very slow resulting from a big drop in the growth of forestry and logging activities and fishing and crop production sub-sectors. The cause of this decline is down to ecological conservation and a low re-afforestation programme.

The steep growth in the industry sector was primary because of the quantity of crude oil produced, which is becoming the second largest sector after services; a position occupied by agriculture in the past few years.

The industry sector recorded a growth outturn of 15.5 per cent back in 2011 compared with a non-oil growth of 5.6 per cent in 2010.

Despite global markets being flat, analysts have found that the economic climate at the moment is favourable for bankers due to the rate of GDP and stable inflation. ■

Angola In Angola as elsewhere, Chevron explores for, produces and transports crude oil and natural gas

Generating gas in Angola First LNG project in Angola and one of the largest projects on the African continent demonstrates further commercialisation of Chevron’s natural gas resources

C

HEVRON CORPORATION'S ANGOLAN subsidiary Cabinda Gulf Oil Company Limited has begun initial production of liquefied natural gas (LNG) at one of the largest energy projects on the African continent.

"First gas at Angola LNG is an important milestone in support of our strategic plan to grow our production," said George Kirkland, vice chairman of Chevron Corporation.

"This project will commercialise natural gas resources in western Africa to meet growing demand in the region and internationally," Kirkland added.

From collection to contribution An integrated energy company, with subsidiaries that conduct business worldwide, Chevron's success is driven by the ingenuity and commitment of its employees and their application of the most innovative technologies in the world.

Chevron is involved in virtually every facet of the energy industry. The company explores for, produces and transports crude oil and natural gas; refines, markets and distributes transportation fuels and other

Chevron’s US$10bn project has the capacity to produce 5.2mn metric tons per year of LNG, 63,000 barrels per day of natural gas liquids for export and 125mn cubic feet per day of natural gas for domestic consumption energy products; manufactures and sells petrochemical products; generates power and produces geothermal energy; provides energy efficiency solutions; and develops the energy resources of the future, including biofuels.

The US$10bn project will collect and transport natural gas from offshore Angola to an onshore liquefaction plant on the coast near the Congo River.

"The project represents the first LNG project in Angola, and it is expected to contribute to the development of Angola's

African Review of Business and Technology - August 2013

natural gas industry," said Ali Moshiri, president of Chevron Africa and Latin America Exploration and Production Company.

Chevron’s US$10bn project has the capacity to produce 5.2mn metric tonnes per year of LNG, 63,000bpd of natural gas liquids for export and 125mn cubic feet per day of natural gas for domestic consumption.

Associated areas Angola LNG plans to use associated natural gas produced from existing crude oil operations operated by Chevron and other partners as well as new non-associated gas from other offshore fields. The project is expected to reduce natural gas flaring and greenhouse gas emissions from offshore producing areas, and support continued offshore oil field development.

Chevron's subsidiary, Cabinda Gulf Oil Company Limited, has a 36.4 per cent interest in the joint-venture, along with Sonangol with a 22.8 per cent interest and subsidiaries of Total, BP and ENI, each with a 13.6 per cent interest. ■ www.africanreview.com

Mozambique

A commitment to economic health Mozambique's ambitions for socio-economic growth are bolstered by external financial support for structural development

T

he European Commission has committed to funding three projects in Mozambique that will potentially provide 50,000 people with access to clean water; increase trade opportunities by improving an international transport corridor, and support the finalisation of the construction of two hospitals.

Despite economic growth, Mozambique still faces enormous challenges, ranging from weak infrastructure to high poverty rates and inadequate access to education and healthcare. The EU will help to tackle some of those issues by supporting three concrete actions, worth a total of US$119mn.

"These new programmes are clear proof of the EU's commitment to supporting Mozambique in achieving the social and economic infrastructure that is necessary to fight poverty in the country. And I sincerely hope that this support will be accompanied by other investments that will multiply its positive impact," said commissioner for development Andris Piebalgs.

Sustainable goals Part of the funding will help to provide access to clean water and sanitation for about 50,000 new users, thus accelerating the

24

achievement of the Millennium Development Goal related to water and sanitation. It is expected to start before the end of the year. A support programme will help the authorities and the private sector to manage the system in a sustainable way. Out of the US$14mn for this project, nine will be provided by the EU, while the Government of Mozambique and UNICEF (in charge of its implementation) will each provide one million.

A second project (US$103mn) is the last, missing link of the transport corridor linking Malawi to Mozambique's ports, and it is thus a fundamental road for regional integration of Mozambique in the Southern Africa Development Community (SADC). Part of the financing will be used for the improvement of 111km of a national road. More than 100km of rural roads will also be renovated, opening up trade opportunities for several agricultural areas.

Furthermore, the EU will finance actions to complete the construction of two important hospitals. One of them, called Gilé District Hospital, is the only hospital in the very remote area of Zambézia. The second is the internationally renowned Manhiça malaria research centre, which conducts important studies on HIV-AIDS and tuberculosis

monitoring. The US$3.8mn project is expected to begin in mid-2014.

Stable operations The main areas of cooperation between the EU and Mozambique - which has increased over the past few years - include rural development, transport infrastructure and regional economic integration, as well as support for the overall economy (macroeconomic stability).

They also cover health, governance, energy, water and the private sector; as well as trade related assistance. The overall amount of EU funding over the period of 2008-2013 is US$956mn. Around 60 per cent of funds are delivered through budget support operations. The EU-Mozambique cooperation is result-oriented. In the last 10 years of cooperation, for example, an estimated 230,000 people have been assisted through food security social transfers, 500,000 pupils have been enrolled in primary school, around half of them girls, at least 100,000 people have received antiretroviral combination therapy, in excess of 1,000,000 people have been connected to improved drinking water supply systems, and 1.8mn people have been connected to sanitation facilities. ■ www.africanreview.com

Banking

How banks reach more customers across Africa Increasingly, financial institutions are utilising Internet connectivity through satellites to operate ATMs in remote areas

A

few years ago, it would have been impossible to imagine an automatic teller machine (ATM) in a small town in Ghana. But financial institutions across the continent are looking for ways to make this a reality as Africa’s economies develop rapidly and banks try to keep pace. In the past, the monetary revolution across Africa has leaned towards mobile payments, rather than the traditional ATMs. This is mainly because banks don’t find it viable to install ATMs in small towns where there is little or no terrestrial connectivity.

In 2010, however, a twist of fate led the founders of SatADSL, a Brussels-based satellite service operator, to create a services organisation to fill the void. Jerome van der Putt, along with his business partner Thierry Eltges, who were working as consultants at the time, were commissioned in 2009 by the European Space Agency to conduct a large study on the market for low-cost satellite services across West Africa and Latin America.

The report found that there was huge potential in Africa, a fact which marked the starting point for SatADSL operations.

In two and a half years, the company has installed more than 700 dishes across terrestrial areas, in collaboration with more than 15 local partners across 20 countries in Africa, providing Internet access to many companies who are looking for dependable support in remote areas. SatADSL is also already running three pilot projects for ATM deployment with banks in small towns in Ghana, Cameroon and Zambia.

“In general, financial institutions offer excellent services in the main urban areas, where technologies such as fibre connections and WiMax are readily available.

Where the population is less dense, telecommunication links may not be as reliable and are much less adapted to the requirements of financial institutions,” said van der Putt, co-founder and chief commercial officer of SatADSL.

26

Fuelling the rise in economy The establishment of dependable Internet access across the continent could be a more practical answer to this issue.

Internet usage is growing rapidly across Africa - between 2009 and 2013, it has retained an annual growth of 27 per cent.

Even then, only 16 per cent of Africans are currently using the Internet, indicating an enormous scope for growth. Service providers like SatADSL who are figuring out innovative ways to feed the internet-hungry regions where there is lack of coverage through fibre optic cables, are truly contributing towards development.

Africa is now the second-fastest growing region in the world, and, according to the World Bank, projected to expand by 5.1 per cent this year and 5.6 per cent both next year and in 2015. Six of the world’s 10 fastest growing economies of the past decade belong to the sub-Saharan African region. So the question is not one of slow regional growth.

However, parts of the development puzzle are yet to fall into place. So, while countries like Morocco, South Africa, Nigeria and Egypt are regarded by banks as ideal locations to install ATMs, harder-to-reach regions across countries like Ghana, Kenya, Zambia, Uganda and Cameroon still languish because of the lack of connectivity. This requires a significant investment which may take a few years to materialise. For example, in Kenya, an estimated Sh74bn (US$863mn) is required to supply telecommunications services countrywide, according to the Communications Commission of Kenya’s director general Francis Wangusi.

Banks understand that installing ATMs and cash machines in remote regions could provide them with the edge and presence they need to win over the hearts of the African consumers. To this end, SatADSL’s VSAT services are a boon to a market with a need for dependable Internet connectivity,

African Review of Business and Technology - August 2013

and the company is no stranger to financial services. One of its most successful projects has been for a money transfer company in Cameroon, which has been rolling out its terminals with great speed solely on the basis of connectivity offered by SatADSL. SatADSL’s business connection with Africa is mutually beneficial. By investing in local partners, SatADSL is also giving back to the economy. SatADSL trains its local partners on the same level as it does its European counterparts, and they, in turn, interface with the customers and provide support across the continent.

Looking to the future There is no doubt that roadblocks exist for companies who are looking to invest in the African economy. For every economy like Nigeria’s, where markets have issued liberal reforms over the past decade, there exists a country with regulations that are 20 years old, making progressive measures hard to implement.

The future is however bright, both for Africa and for SatADSL. The passion that van der Putt and his partners bring to the business is matched by their African partners. By working hand-in-hand, the company is contributing to Africa’s growth as much as running a successful business, a harmony that is providing stability to businesses everywhere.

The continued efforts of such devoted change-mongers herald a new beginning for evolution of services across different industries, an effort that is tailor-made for Africa’s untapped potential. Satellite banking is only the beginning - a trial for technology that could uplift the masses that do not currently inhabit Africa’s most commercial zones. Even SatADSL has recognised the importance of their offering and plans to branch out into different verticals. This is only the beginning of a significant wave of development, and Africa is riding on the very crest of it. ■ www.africanreview.com

Telecommunications

In search of loyalty: branded prepaid cards Competition among mobile operators and handset manufacturers in the telecommunications industry is fierce; many are turning to pre-paid card solutions to help boost customer loyalty and diversify marketing

T

he technological revolution has had a global impact. The developed markets – where mobile phone and Internet use has long since become an integral part of daily lives – has started to evolve its telecommunications initiatives further, with smart phone technology allowing customers to do almost anything through their mobile handsets. And the emerging markets – which were, for a long time, predominantly paper-based societies – have discovered the convenience of telecommunications, resulting in a huge rise in demand over recent years.

Of course one example of this is Africa and its surge in mobile phone use: at the end of 2012, the World Bank estimated that there are now around 650mn mobile phone users in sub-Saharan Africa – greater than the number of users in either the US or the European Union. Perhaps even more striking is the growth in mobile phone usage within the continent, with some sources estimating an average annual growth rate of 44 per cent since 2000.

The battle between telecoms companies to satisfy this demand is intense. To be successful, telco companies globally are compelled to shake up their business models, expand their product and service offerings, and take advantage of investment opportunities. Those that lack the necessary strategic and financial flexibility are likely to find themselves eclipsed.

Given this, new initiatives are continuously cropping-up in every market, aimed at increasing sales, cutting costs and, ultimately, increasing consumer loyalty. Prepaid Cards, in particular, offer mobile network operators (MNOs) and handset manufacturers a powerful branding opportunity, as well as an ability to monitor consumer behaviour and cross-sell where appropriate.

Adoption of this type of consumer incentive has been extremely popular in the consumer electronics space, particular for Digital Imaging, Audio Visual and Televisions, and a blueprint for success may be best provided by Samsung’s initiatives in the UK consumer electronics market. Samsung’s cash back delivered through a branded Prepaid Card initiative through Citi not only helped the company create a deeper affinity with its customers by 'rewarding' their loyalty instantly, it also boosted sales of other company products.

Prepaid cards come to the fore The global thirst for technology is both good and bad news for telecommunications companies – whether they be MNOs or handset manufacturers. On one hand it means a vastly increased consumer base and many new opportunities to develop business.

On the other hand, however, it means fierce competition. As such,

28

African Review of Business and Technology - August 2013

companies have to be more inventive than ever in their attempts to attract customers and increase loyalty, if they want to maintain bottom-line figures.

In recent years, other industries have found Prepaid Card solutions an invaluable tool in achieving this – allowing companies to offer instant cash-backs and financial promotions to their customer base. Yet it is clear that such card-based solutions are equally suitable for the telecommunications industry, with excellent applications for both MNOs and handset manufacturers.

Firstly, Prepaid Cards are a consumer friendly and efficient tool for MNOs to proactively manage their costs and protect bottom line profits. Indeed, MNOs can protect their subscriber base (and reduce costs) from rivals by paying a retention incentive with a Prepaid Card at the end of the customer’s mobile contract. For instance, rather than upgrading their handset or migrating to another MNO, the incumbent MNO pays £50 (US$76) cashback to the subscriber to sign up for another two year contract, thereby leaving device choice in the hands of consumers. Reciprocally, this method of customer retention is also applicable for customer acquisition.

For the handset manufacturers, consumer incentives (such as cashback upon purchase) using a Prepaid Card allows them to differentiate their product and incentivise subscribers to choose their product over rival smartphones – smoothing sales of handsets in otherwise quiet periods and driving top line sales. Last year, for example, a leading device manufacturer and its software partner used a Prepaid Card as an innovative cashback mechanism – offering consumers a cash reward which could only be spent at the company’s online store, thereby increasing after sales revenue.

Crucially, such cashback offers not only allow manufacturers to maintain full retail prices, thereby retaining top line integrity, but they can also serve as a fantastic lever to pull in customers just before new models are released (most manufacturers experience a quarterly fall in sales before new smartphones are released as consumers await the new release). A cashback offer on an outgoing model can be used to support sales and cross-sell own device ranges. ■ www.africanreview.com

Reduced downtime via regular maintenance Ensuring regular checks of the entire minerals processing system is vital to pre-empt problems and avoid costly downtime

T

he poor design and implementation of transfer points can result in increased maintenance costs for minerals processing systems. This can be made worse by a lack of proactive, scheduled maintenance and can result in excessive downtime and severely reduced profitability.

“The transfer points, due to the nature of their application, should be carefully considered as they can easily become the obstacle to efficient operation,” said Faizal Mahomed, after sales manager at M&J Engineering. “The critical issue here is that the uncontrolled discharge of bulk materials through conventional chutes is associated with escalated maintenance and replacement costs.”

A common misunderstanding in the industry is that the project is finished once the transfer points and chutes have been installed and commissioned.

“This is not the case, as once the chutes are in active operation problems can arise due to wear and a lack of maintenance,” said Mahomed. “We are aware of the fact that inspections and maintenance are not the core business of the mines, which is why we recommend they invest in a maintenance contract that clearly outlines the after sales responsibilities of the supplier.”

Reliability Mahomed added that the reliability of systems such as M&J Engineering’s Weba Chute Systems ironically meant that routine maintenance was not carried out on systems as often as it should be.

“However, normal wear and tear does occur and even a seemingly minor deflection, such as a slight spillage, can result in a significant loss of productivity over time,” he said.

A comprehensive maintenance contract will include random and scheduled on-site inspections as well as pre-specified

appointments to undertake maintenance work.

“M&J Engineering thoroughly checks the condition of the chutes’ wear components to ensure that the chutes operate within their engineered parameters,” said Mahomed. “By timeously identifying issues, we are able to alleviate equipment failure.”

He added that M&J Engineering continuously monitors its Weba Chute Systems from the date of installation.

“This allows us to determine the wear rate and to ensure that the transfer point is performing optimally,” Mahomed explained.

“A technician regularly inspects and monitors all transfer points. In instances where a mine has a large number of transfer points, this is extremely advantageous.”

Cost analysis After a routine check a comprehensive

African Review of Business and Technology - August 2013

report, including a detailed cost analysis, is compiled and issued to the customer. It includes information on the condition of the chute and identifies areas where maintenance is required, including the replacement of worn parts that have reached the end of their lifespan.

M&J Engineering support programme is underpinned by the company’s extensive experience and expertise in a large number of installations.

“By developing enduring relationships with our customers, we are able to define their exacting needs,” said Mahomed.

“Customisation of products and a tailored maintenance contract provide customers with the assurance that their transfer point and chute system will eliminate unnecessary downtime. The end result is increased productivity and a handsome return on investment.” ■ www.africanreview.com

ENGINEERING Minerals

Positioned to improve material movement How well-designed transfer points can save money at mining operations, whilst increasing productivity

M

ine engineers seldom realise the impact a poorly designed transfer point has on the entire minerals processing system.

However, transfer points potentially contribute to some of the highest maintenance costs on a mine, often resulting in unnecessary downtime and frustration.

According to Mark Baller, managing director of Weba Chute Systems, it is important to approach each transfer point in an individualistic manner. “No two transfer points will be exactly alike.

Therefore, customised design based on a number of elementary factors is required to maximise uptime and minimise costs.”

Accreditation and application Baller speaks with authority on the subject of transfer points. The company has more than 3,000 transfer chute installations in place in South Africa, in many African countries and in several other parts of the world. The company also recently received its ISO 9001:2008 accreditation.

“When considering an application, we incorporate the operation’s unique product specifications and data, belt width, belt speed, material sizes and shape, and throughput as well as the plant layout, including the position of belt scrapers and dust suppression/extraction systems. We do not just concentrate on the entry and exit points, but rather on the control of the flow, volume and velocity of the material being transferred at all times,” Baller continues.

Material issues The Weba Chute System uses a ‘supertube’ effect with a cascade scenario, where 95 per cent of the material runs on material at all

The Weba Cascade Chute ensures material runs on material minimising the abrasive effects

times. When one looks at the flow of materials in slow motion, it becomes apparent that the bottom layer of particles in the product stream moves in a tumbling motion and does not slide down the chute. This results in significantly reduced wear and in, many cases, the lip remains completely covered by material and never needs replacement.

“We achieve the ‘super flow effect’ in our designs by using a sophisticated 3D computer aided design (CAD) programme. This results in a design that offers a substantial cost saving over any known conventional chute installation using liners, rock boxes and any other method to control material flow in a transfer point,” Baller says.

Advantages of the Weba super flow design principle includes a reduction in amongst others the degradation of materials, wear and tear, noise and dust pollution, spillage, excessive impact and subsequent belt damage. The immediate effect of the decrease in unwanted dust and noise pollution is an enhancement of working conditions that impact positively on the health of workers.

The design provides for easy access to facilitate inspections and maintenance. The system is low maintenance not only in its operation, but also because it does not require ongoing supervision, thus representing a substantial saving in manpower and related costs.

“A benchmark chute system should control the direction, flow and velocity of the calculated volume and type of material in each application, while taking into account belt width, belt speed, material sizes, shape and throughput. The design and efficiency of Weba Chute Systems have been refined through exposure to a large and varied customer footprint,” Baller concludes. ■ www.africanreview.com

Machine Tools ENGINEERING

Repairing machine components What machinists must consider to ensure their equipment is used safely and efficiently at all times

M

any industrial concerns have workshops of their own. A skilled maintenance engineer should know how to use machines in order to make his own repairs in a safe manner. Very often he has to supervise machinists. The lathe machine, for example, uses a singlepoint-cutting tool for a variety of turning, facing, and drilling jobs.

Excess metal is removed by rotating the work piece over the fixed cutting tool to form straight or tapered cylindrical shapes, grooves, shoulders and screw threads. It can also be used for facing flat surfaces on the ends of cylindrical parts. The work piece is clamped onto a horizontal rotating shaft by a three-jaw or four-jaw chuck. The latter chuck can be used to cut off-centred cylinders. The rotating horizontal spindle to which the chuck is attached is usually driven at speeds that can be varied.

The cutting tool is fixed onto a rest and manipulated by hand. It can be power-driven on paths parallel or perpendicular to the work axis - useful for screw cutting. Internal turning, or boring, results in the enlargement of an already existing hole. The holes are more accurate in roundness, concentricity, and parallelism than drilled holes. A hole is bored with a single-point-cutting tool that feeds along the inside of the work piece.

chromium, and tungsten are effective in cutting cast iron and retaining their cutting ability even when red hot. The hardness of tungsten carbide approaches that of a diamond. Tungsten carbide tools can be operated at cutting speeds many times higher than those used with high-speed steel.

Ceramic, or oxide, tool tips consist primarily of fine aluminum oxide grains, which are bonded together. These are very hard.

An overheated tool can become blunt and soft very fast. Therefore very often, cooling fluids cools the cutting points of the tool. This serves to lubricate and cool. Water is an excellent cooling medium, but it corrodes ferrous materials. Sulphurised mineral oil is one of the most popular coolants as it can both cool as well as lubricate. The sulphur prevents chips from the work from melting on to the tip of the tool. â–

Tools and materials The shaping machine is used to machine flat surfaces, grooves, shoulders, T-slots, and angular surfaces with single-point tools. The cutting tool on the shaper oscillates, cutting on the forward stroke, with the work piece feeding automatically toward the tool during each return stroke. The drilling machine is used to cut holes in metal with a twist drill. By changing the cutting tool, they can be used to do reaming, boring, counter boring, countersinking, and threading. The milling machine uses a rotating cutting tool to cut flat surfaces, grooves, and shoulders, inclined surfaces, dovetails, and T-slots. Cutters of many shapes are changed to cut different grooves. Metal-cutting tools are classified as single point or multiple point. Lathe and shaping machines use single point cutting tools. Milling and drilling machines use multiplepoint-cutting tools. Metal is cut either by moving the work piece like in the lathe or by moving the tool like in the shaping machine, drilling or milling machine. Clearance angles must be provided to prevent the tool surface below the cutting edge from rubbing against the work piece.

In order to remove chips from a work piece, a cutting tool must be harder than the work piece and must maintain a cutting edge at the temperature produced by the friction of the cutting action. Carbon steel tools, even though comparatively inexpensive, tend to lose cutting ability at temperatures around 400 degrees Fahrenheit (205 degree Celsius). High-speed steel, containing 18 per cent tungsten, four per cent chromium, one per cent vanadium, and only 0.5 to 0.8 per cent carbon, permits the operation of tools twice or three times the speeds allowable with carbon steel.

Towards renewables In recent times, there is a positive shift from conventional power sources to renewable energy

W

ith the cost of turning to alternative power sources now at grid parity, opting for renewable power sources has become a viable option for corporate houses as well as individual users.

Alternative sources of energy were too costly to contemplate a few years ago, but in present times the cost of renewable energy components has decreased considerably.

This has made the installation of a renewable energy system on a corporate, industrial or commercial retail building roof, a far more viable investment. In terms of pricing, the cost of electricity and renewable energy are on par, the term used, being grid parity.

Over recent months, there has been a positive shift from conventional power sources to the use of renewable energy.

A number of large corporate companies and industrial and commercial retail businesses have taken the decision to reduce their dependency on conventional energy sources. This not only reduces their carbon footprint and improves energy efficiency, but also makes good business sense.

An example of how a corporate business can commit to environmental and sustainability efforts and reduce carbon emissions within the organisations, is with the installation of a solar energy producing system on the roof of the office building.

Typically, an installation with 500kWp output produces approximately 75 per cent of all electricity required by the building during peak production.

This solar array will assist the business with savings on utility bills and improve energy efficiency, offsetting approximately 25 per cent of the building’s electrical energy use throughout the year.

This could result in a potential energy saving of about 895 MWh per annum, equal to charging more than 70mn mobile phones over that same period.

In some municipalities, the excess capacity produced by a solar energy producing system can be fed into the grid, but mostly without monetary compensation. Globally, there are feed-in tariffs in place.

Corporate, commercial, industrial and residential users thereby become power producers and are compensated for their renewable energy electricity production.

Renewable energy solutions provider AEG Power Solutions has been working towards enabling increased use of renewable energy.

Using AEG Power Solutions’ alternative solar energy products, corporate, commercial and industrial users can realise substantial energy savings. This will also allow customers to trim operational expenditure instead of facing a potential 40 per cent increase in electricity prices over the next five years.

3W Power/AEG Power Solutions South Africa managing director Trevor de Vries said, “The cost of turning to alternative power sources is now at grid parity, and the payback period on the initial investment has been significantly reduced in recent years. As companies are seeking to become self-sufficient in terms of energy usage, alternative energy makes sense.” ■

Kenya begins with biogas A

frican biogas and solar plants developer Tropical Power has signed a deal with Clarke Energy to supply the first two containerised Jenbacher biogas engines in sub-Saharan Africa. The units will be supplied to an agricultural biogas plant located at a farm near Lake Naivasha, in Kenya.

Anaerobic digestion facility will be used to produce biogas, originating from the digestion of food processing wastes coming from the surrounding farms.

Clarke Energy has been contracted for a turnkey project to supply, engineer and install the CHP generators. The biogas will be fed into 2 x J420 Jenbacher gas engines from GE Power & Water. The engines will be specially configured to operate even at nearly 2,000 metres above sea level.

The gas engines will be configured for cogeneration, with surplus heat recovered as hot water and used for biogas plant process heating and for heating adjacent

www.africanreview.com

greenhouses. The biogas engines will be supplied as containerised units for operation in hot and tropical countries.

Economic development in Kenya has led to strains on the local power distribution network. Creation of biogas using waste materials is likely to deliver a reliable production of fuel. Using the gas in the Jenbacher gas engine will facilitate consistent supplies of power to the local area.

Surplus power will be supplied to the local electricity grid, helping to stabilise local electricity supplies.

Tropical Power operations director Mike Nolan reiterated the great potential for biogas, saying it will be of tremendous help in generating power in the African continent, especially when used in combination with solar power.

While solar power can provide daytime power, biogas can be used at night and when it is cloudy.

Following the signing of the contract to purchase the CHP gas engines from Clarke Energy, Mike Nolan said, “We selected Clarke Energy to supply these biogas engines on the basis of the firm’s experience of operating in sub-Saharan Africa, along with its technical solutions that offer high electrical efficiency using biogas at high altitude.”

Clarke Energy business development manager for Africa James Hobday said, “We are delighted to be supplying gas engines to our first biogas project in the sub-Saharan Africa. This project demonstrates the viability of biogas as a power source in Africa.”

Clarke Energy will provide support to Tropical Power, training operators with gas engine operation and maintenance. The more demanding maintenance procedures will be supported by Clarke Energy’s East African service hub.

The biogas engines are scheduled for delivery to Kenya in the last quarter of 2013. ■

Why expanded metal remains so popular Companies continue to demand inherent structural integrity and lack of material loss

F

ew products can claim to be as versatile as expanded metal, largely due to its reliability, durability and economy represented by the simple idea of slitting and expanding a solid sheet of metal into a lattice of diamond-shaped meshes.

Engineering and manufacturing firm Andrew Mentis was the first company to begin manufacturing expanded metal more than 60 years ago. Today, the company may be considered the leading supplier of quality expanded metal in a variety of sizes and materials.

According to Elaine van Rooyen, marketing manager at Andrew Mentis, a myriad of applications are served by expanded metal because of its inherent structural integrity, which is not compromised during the manufacturing process.

“During the manufacturing process no material is lost. In fact, the original sheet of metal can be expanded into anything up to ten times its original size,” Van Rooyen said.

“The result is a mesh which is considerably lighter than the equivalent area of the original piece of metal expanded.”

The expanding process creates a network of rigid strands which add strength, while allowing free passage of light and air. As the metal is expanded to an area longer than its original length it is lighter than the original equivalent mass used prior to expanding.

The raised mesh or Mentex, as it is called, can be put through an additional process in which the raised meshes are flattened into the same plane as the sheet of metal expanded. This is known as Flatex.

With extensive experience in the various applications of expanded metal, Andrew Mentis manufactures both the raised and flattened meshes, and according to the company’s marketing manager, the correct selection of the appropriate mesh depends on the application at hand.

36

Mentex and Flatex expanded metal is available in a varied range of sizes, mesh sizes and thickness

Typically, both Mentex and Flatex is manufactured from high quality local mild steel, but can still be manufactured from any other ductile metal. The product is normally supplied unpainted, but readily lends itself to any of the normal finishing processes such as painting, stove enamelling, plating and galvanising.

Mentex and Flatex expanded metal is available in a comprehensive range of sizes, mesh sizes and thicknesses and the fabrication of the expanded metal in any form is done with ease. The mesh can be bent, shaped to radii, angled or notched while maintaining its inherent rigidity. It is also available in various mesh sizes, from mini meshes with small openings of 1.4mm x 2mm, and with a thickness of 0.4mm, to larger meshes with 115mm x300mm openings, and a thickness of six millimetres.

African Review of Business and Technology - August 2013

Van Rooyen said that expanded metal has found applications in mining, construction, food and other industries. It is used for screens, grates, shelving, racks, protection guards, internal partitioning, burglar proofing, fencing, reinforcement, walkways, platforms and stairs, beds, garden furniture, braai grids, filters, dividers, scaffolding, truck bodies, tunnel and shaft linings, grain silos and even decoratively — to name a few.

“In an industry where quality pays in the long-term, a great variety of customers are bound to benefit from the extensive experience and expertise within Andrew Mentis, especially when it comes to the application of expanded metal. The uses of expanded metal are many and varied and are limited only by the vision, creativity and imagination of the designer. Its versatility is endless,” Van Rooyen concluded. ■ www.africanreview.com

Cranes

A holistic approach to total safety H

eavy lifts, by nature, are the source of numerous safety risks. Therefore, it is imperative to execute a heavy lift in a safe, yet time-sensitive, manner through a combination of excellence, experience, expertise and good quality resources.

With 36 years of experience, Johnson Crane Hire offers the above mentioned services.

Peter Yaman, general manager of Johnson Crane Hire, said, “The planning process begins with a site inspection followed by a more intensive on-site visit by our technical heavy lift team. This allows verification of measurements and dimensions. Once the details are acquired, a CAD rigging study, in 2D or 3D, is undertaken.�

The LICCON software is used to simulate the lift. It confirms the crane capacity and

A JCH crane at work

verifies the counterweight needed. In addition, it simulates the ground pressure that the crane generates in various scenarios.

The next step involves determination of the required load bearing capacity. Once the rigging study is completed, a method statement and risk assessment is undertaken.

The company has also recently invested US$100mn in an equipment expansion programme for latest crane technology.

In order to provide an uninterrupted service to its clients, Johnson Crane Hire runs a well-equipped workshop manned by a strong mechanical team. Each crane undergoes regular, scheduled inspection and maintenance in accordance with the requirements of the Occupational Health and Safety Act. â–

Cranes

CONSTRUCTION

Lift the right crane Any kind of crane is a major acquisition or hire; here are the different types of cranes in use for construction purposes today

A

ll cranes operate on the same principles, but two basic decisions have to be taken into account before acquiring this useful machine, whether new, pre-owned or hired for a specific task. First, is it mobile or fixed? Second, what specific type of lifting device would be needed?

Amongst the mobile types, the most versatile is the truck-mounted crane. These machines are usually powered - both moving and lifting by a single engine, and fitted with counterweights. A side-lifting mobile will be particularly useful whenever heavy ISO containers, for example, have to be delivered to a commercial site.

In case of any uneven construction site for example, in the early stages of development, either an all-terrain or a full-spec rough-terrain mobile has to be given a look-over. This is a costly equipment but has endless applications. A full-spec crawler crane will be able to work efficiently on ground where no other crane can reach. A modern telescopic handler crane is essentially an extended forklift truck, ideal for keeping on site for all those unforeseen heavy lifting tasks.

In terms of mobility and for use in a harbour or riverside-wharf handling area - including extensively offshore of course - a floating crane is likely to fit the bill. Barge mounted, these are frequently hired in busy ports like Tin Can Island and Kilindini.

If you require a fixed type of crane, then an overhead one must be considered very carefully because these machines usually have fairly limited applications unless they are demountable and can be reerected by a specialised crew on site. The classic type of fixed lifting device is the tower crane, comprising of a carefully matched assembly of base, mast, slewing unit and jib along with a control cab.

A sub-group of this basic type is the self-erecting crane, the sort of device one sees in modern projects like the high-profile extensions of the cities of Dubai and Kuwait.

Another category is the modern high-tech telescopic crane and its counterpart, the jointed-jib level luffing type.

Then there are the big guys, usually associated with large-scale fixed industrial locations like high-capacity shipyards where one comes

across the heavy duty hammerhead crane, the container stacker and others, usually referred to collectively as overhead cranes.

Specialised types are the deck cranes carried on ocean-going vessels (sometimes adapted for handling bulk cargoes), and the sky cranes - offered by heavy-lift helicopter operators.

Whichever type you opt for, there are two basic principles that have to be kept permanently in mind.

The first is basic lifting capacity whereby so-called ‘mechanical advantage’ is exploited, based on the principles of the lever, pulley, winding mechanism and/or hydraulic cylinder to multiply the useful force that can be usefully applied to the load. Energy always has to be conserved so the jib’s horizontal reach is what keeps the system in equilibrium.

The second consideration is the issue of stability. The crane will only be secure if the sum of all lever moments about any point must come to zero; in practice the safe rated load will be considerably less than the load/reach distance which will cause the crane to topple. ■

Safety

Safer working features I

n 2009, with the introduction of the D-series Mark VI ADT, Bell Equipment took huge strides in articulated dump truck (ADT) safety, positioning the company as an industry benchmark and cementing its position as an ADT specialist.

Llewellyn Roux, product marketing manager, says, “At that time there was an increased awareness of site safety, particularly on mine sites. By listening to our customers and reacting quicker to a changing workplace we were able to provide innovative safety features to exceed application safety standards.”

At the heart of many safety features is the CANbus language protocol used by all Bell ADTs to communicate between a truck’s central processing unit (CPU), 15 system controllers and 57 sensors.

This allows instantaneous feedback on ADT health and production data. The electrical system also uses a current feedback loop, which allows the CPU to determine whether the ADT is working optimally and provides immediate feedback to the operator.

Bell ADT cabs are also standard with ROPS/FOPS certification and an air suspension operator seat. Both the operator and trainer seat have safety belts and the new E-series Bell will feature a multi-point safety harness for the operator seat. In addition, high convex mirrors reduce machine blind spots to improve visibility and safety.

With I-Tip, the operator can bring the ADT to a halt and engages the tip lever. The truck does the rest of the steps. When leaving the

D-series Mark VI ADT

stockpile the operator can engage drive and as the ADT starts moving, it controls the speed safely whilst the bin lowers itself. For safety on the haul, speed control is built into the Bell ADT operator interface giving the operator two speed levels that he can programme.

According to Roux, other features include the option to activate an automatic hooter, which will sound when changing between drive and reverse, as well as when the payload has been reached during loading. ■

aterfund, a global water risk management company, and IBM have signed an agreement with the Ugandan Ministry of Water and Environment that makes the country the first in Africa to become a member of the pioneering Water Cost Index (WCI).

Waterfund, with IBM acting as calculation agent, will work with the Ministry to calculate the cost of producing water in Uganda. This work will reflect estimated water production costs measured in US dollars per cubic metre and be published as part of the Rickards Real Cost Water Index, to be updated monthly.

Ephraim Kamuntu, Uganda’s minister of Water and Environment, “The unprecedented level of transparency that the index will bring to pricing water sector investments in Uganda will be a great asset in attracting private sector funding that can help us provide clean and safe freshwater to all our citizens. It gives us great pleasure to work with Waterfund and IBM and harness their expertise to make this happen.”

s we prepared this year’s Buyers Guide it became clear that a number of circumstances are working together to bring a new breed of construction and mining equipment into Africa.

First, the minerals boom and the fact that sub-Saharan Africa is now recognised as the fastest-growing region on earth are together alluring new types of really heavy equipment, mining trucks in particular.

South African coal producers are particularly keen on the products, but the oil and gas boom in both East and West Africa is helping the acquisition too. We look at some of the classics, now occasionally to be seen here, in this special overall review.

Second, the manufacturing countries’ emissions control revolution, which has still to hit much of Africa, continues to release onto the buoyant used-plant market substantial quantities of top-grade easily serviced machinery for auction, in particular.

Now it’s not just Rotterdam that positively impacts on Africa but Dubai too.

And third, there are the busy construction trade shows.

We’ve already passed this year’s key event, bauma at Munich just a few months ago. But there are plenty more to come over the next couple of years, and we provide the dates for your diary. There’s nothing like being prepared for 2015.

Undoubtedly, it is the rigid mining trucks that set the trend in size because really big haulers need just about everything big to keep them busy and that means wheel loaders, in particular. A landmark was passed back in 2002 when Caterpillar brought in the 797B, a diesel power-mechanical drive offhighway hauler on a massive scale. It weighed in at over 250 tonnes and could shift a further 380 tonnes at a single pass.

German rival Liebherr responded within a couple of years with the T 282B, which was substantially longer and could be heaploaded with no less than 400 metric tonnes.

The engine was slightly larger than the Cat’s but the key difference was that this new machine incorporated diesel electrical drive on the four-wheel rear axles, a real trend

44

Caterpillar’s 797B hauler

setter for the opencast mining and quarrying industry. This transformed the transmission characteristics, ushering in unprecedented flexibility in terms of actual operation, and with almost no sacrifice in terms of top speed.

Komatsu’s response to this Western technology development came a few years later with the 960 E rigid mining trucks, actually manufactured in the USA, which can carry a payload of 327 tonnes.

To make good use of these megamachines, mine and quarry, operators need a really big wheel loader which is matched to the capacity and required bucket reachheight of the hauler, requiring fewer passes, and therefore providing higher productivity, to fill. For this, Caterpillar brought in 994 F, weighing nearly 200 tonnes, back in 2005.

And finally, what about the really big excavators that have to dig out the resources needed to feed these mammoth machines?

Hydraulics have largely taken over here, but some of the world’s largest holes in the ground still feature electrically-powered cable-operated shovels like the huge P&H 5700, which was introduced in 1978.

To see a selection of updates on all these big materials movers, there is no choice but to attend one of the huge mining/ construction trade shows, of which the next example will be Conexpo-Con/Agg in Las Vegas from 4-8 March 2014. Then in 2015 the

African Review of Business and Technology - August 2013

world’s attention moves back to Europe for Intermat (20-25 April, always held in Paris).

In the meantime, there are plenty of smaller events taking place. The German bauma organisers come back to Johannesburg from 18-21 September this year for what looks likely to be the region’s biggest event in 2013. Then bauma China will be taking place in Shanghai from 25-28 November 2014.

Home to what is still Africa’s largest ongoing dam project Ethiopia features Addis Build from 4-7 October, with Cairobuild taking place at the end of the same month (24-27 October 2013). Buildint Kenya will be held from 14-16 September this year.

Next year Nairobi will be seeing Buildexpo Africa (2-4 May) and Jo’burg Interbuild Africa (13-16 August). Back on the international scale, there are shows like SAIE in Bologna, Italy (16-19 October 2013) to plan for. Batimat in Paris, France, runs from 4-8 November 2013, Intermat Middle East in Abu Dhabi (2022 January next year) and Samoter in Verona, Italy (27 February-2 March 2014).

Finally, if it’s really big concrete plant that you need, such as the 50-ton 1260RS pavement/rock saw from specialised US manufacturer Trencor, there really is no alternative but to book your ticket to the next annual World of Concrete, which will be held in Las Vegas from 20-24 January next. ■ www.africanreview.com

Doosan’s impressive range C

onstructors learned, at bauma 2013, what machine and attachment innovations were available to use on new projects - and Doosan played a significant role in the display of innovative equipment, at a stand covering 4553m² of showground space.

International interest was strong. Nancy De Sy, corporate and public communication manager for Doosan Construction Equipment, affirmed that "most of our international sales network present all week to welcome our dealers and customers” - not only from Europe, but also from the Middle East and Africa. The company’s impressive range on show included excavators, wheel loaders,

articulated dump trucks and attachments.

New equipment now offered includes the DX140W-3 and DX160W-3 wheeled excavators, the DX380LC-3 large crawler excavator and the DL200-3, DL250-3 and DL550-3 wheel loaders - all designed, in Doosan’s terms, “to exceed customer requirements for quality, productivity, controllability, comfort, reliability and durability, with greatly reduced overall costs and optimal fuel efficiency”.

Doosan’s DX140W-3 and DX160W-3 excavators are both driven by the DL06KB sixcylinder ‘common rail’ turbocharged diesel engine - whereas the company’s DX380LC-3 excavator is powered by the larger Doosan

The DX140W-3 offers efficiency and performance to save time and money

DL08K diesel engine. Added to this range are the DX420LC-3 and DX490LC-3 excavators, each of which offers a substantially improved range of specifications including drawbar pull, arm and bucket digging force and lifting capacity. ■

The DL250-3 wheel loader offers an superior combination of breakout force, size and lift capacity

The Doosan DL220-3 wheel loader is designed to meet many municipal requirements

The DX490LC-3 is equipped to work faster and benefit your bottom line

ELECRAMA

ELECRAMA 2014 to showcase India's best African market in focus at world’s leading Transmission & Distribution Expo

E

LECRAMA, which takes place in Bangalore in early 2014, is set to return with a renewed focus on the African market.

The theme for the 2014 edition of ELECRAMA will be ‘Go Global’, as the flagship event of the Indian Electrical and Electronics Manufacturers Association (IEEMA) looks to promote the 'Made in India' brand and enhance India's exports of electrical equipment.

Created by IEEMA in 1990, ELECRAMA has grown from strength to strength and has emerged as the world's single largest Transmission & Distribution (T&D) exhibition.

Sanjeev Sardana, Chairman of ELECRAMA 2014, says the upcoming 10th edition of the biennial show will attract manufacturers, traders, utilities, consultants and decision makers from more than 100 countries.

"We are expecting ELECRAMA 2014 to showcase exhibitors' products, technologies and manufacturing capabilities to a global audience," says Sardana.

"This year we are expecting a repeat of the last hugely successful event, with 450 overseas buyers from targeted regions invited to the REVERSE BUYER-SELLER MEET (RBSM). ELECRAMA 2014 is bound to raise the bar in terms of facilitation and added services so as to make the event a resounding success."

ELECRAMA 2014 will also be home ELECRAMA 2014 to the invitationChairman only CEO SUMMIT, Sanjeev Sardana the INTERNATIONAL

T&D CONCLAVE, technical conference TRAFOTECH 2014 and THE ENGINEER INFINITE 2014 competition, which has encouraged third- and fourth-year engineering students from across India to share and display their innovative projects on the event's Student's Pavilion.

Attracting Africa Africa is India’s fourth largest trade partner and bilateral trade between the two has been estimated to reach US$100bn by 2015, after India’s investment in Africa exceeded $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 more than $5bn to African countries," Sardana remarks.

"Trade between India and African countries has been gaining momentum over the years, and 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'."

India's electrical equipment industry has been actively increasing its involvement in the development of Africa's power sector over the past two decades and is today offering vibrant solutions for electrifying the continent.

"India can provide facilities for rural electrification, robust solutions for remote electrification and monitoring of power distribution and modernisation of Africa’s existing power infrastructure," says Sardana.

"India can offer conventional technology to upgrade Africa’s thermal and hydro plants, as well as technology for renewable energy generation, including wind, solar and geothermal. It also offer smart metering solutions and systems, where distribution

loads can be monitored through computers and data systems remotely."

For these reasons, it is no surprise that the organisers of ELECRAMA have made African a focus region for the 2014 edition of the trade show.

Moving to Bangalore ELECRAMA 2014 is being held for the first time in India's IT hub of Bangalore, popularly known as the 'Silicon Valley of India', having previously taken place in Mumbai.

The event will take place in Bangalore International Exhibition Centre (BIEC), India’s first LEED-certified exhibition and conference facility.

The 34-acre complex includes covered airconditioned exhibition halls, a multi-facility conference centre, a VIP lounge, and a large food court and outdoor area. ■ ELECRAMA 2014 takes place in Bangalore, India, from 8-12 January 2014 Find out more at: ELECRAMA 2014 - www.elecrama.com REVERSE BUYER-SELLER MEET www.ieema-rbsm.in

Energy CPV training programme boosts local SA economy

S

oitec, which generates and manufactures revolutionary semiconductor materials for the electronics and energy industries, has taken the first students in its concentrator photovoltaic (CPV) technology training program through to completion of the initial part of the curriculum. This CPV training programme is the first one implemented in South Africa. Thanks to this initiative, students from the local community can acquire skills needed to work in the country’s growing solar industry.

The CPV training programme was created by an agreement signed in 2011 by Soitec, the University of Cape Town and Northlink College, a nationally registered further education and training institution with a head office in Bellville.

As one of the successful companies selected by the South African Ministry of Energy at the end of its first Independent Power Producers (IPP) bid, Soitec is building a 44-MWp utility-scale CPV power plant in Touwsrivier, near the Aquila Private Game Reserve (Western Cape). Along with other projects currently under development in South Africa through the IPP programme, Soitec’s project is creating a new workforce demand at the local level.

“This training programme is intended to open new career paths for South Africans as, according to the IPP programme, 1,450 MW of photovoltaic power should be in operation by 2016,” explained Gaetan Borgers, executive vice president of Soitec Solar Division.

Schneider Electric talks up prospects of smarter energy Schneider Electric SA pledged for smarter energy in Africa at the Africa Energy Forum 2013, held recently in Barcelona, Spain.

According to UN HABITAT, the African urban population will grow to one billion by 2040 and to 1.23bn by 2050, at which point 60 per cent of all Africans will be living in cities.

As African growth will be driven mainly by existing and new cities, electricity will be a key factor to sustain urbanisation and growth on the continent.

"The challenge is not only to produce more electricity but to produce intelligent energy in order to enable smart growth in Africa.

Schneider Electric's solutions aim at increasing the electricity available in Africa with limited investments," Mohammed Saad, Africa president at Schneider Electric.

With its Smart Cities solution, Schneider Electric unites the technologies required to improve the efficiency of urban systems and deliver "urban efficiency".

"By modernising the existing grid, developing renewable energy, exploiting

Mohammed Saad, Africa president at Schneider Electric

the huge solar potential Africa receives every day, and helping companies, industries and public authorities to be more energy efficient, Smart Cities approach delivers the short-term, visible, measurable, lowinvestment results that cities need," added Saad.

The Smart Cities solution allows up to 30 per cent energy savings, 15 per cent reduction of water losses, and 20 per cent reduction of travel time and traffic delays, as well as tremendous social and economic benefits.

Diesel engines for energy and convenience Demand from the market has resulted in Lambson’s Hire adding diesel-driven generators to its rental fleet.

“These strategically priced Hatz 6 kVA diesel generators are the ideal, cost effective and fuel efficient solution for sites where grid power is either intermittent or not available,” said Rohan Lambson, founder and executive director of Lambson’s Hire.

“Rising fuel prices and an increasing focus on environmental stewardship are predominant factors in the inclusion of diesel driven generators in our rental product offering. While petrol driven generators prove popular for home applications, diesel driven generators are the first choice of tradesmen and the industrial market. We are focused on supplying suitable product to our entire customer footprint, so the addition of the Hatz 6 kVA diesel driven generators complements our current fleet of Honda 6 kVA petrol driven generators.”

On-site safety risks are potentially higher than in the home environment, making diesel driven gensets a perfect alternative to their petrol counterparts.

Devin van Zyl, CEO of This is because petrol burns at a higher temperature than diesel due to its Lambson's Hire, with a new genset higher BTU rating. Additionally, unlike petrol, diesel is not explosive.
