he shortage of water in Namibia due to the ravaging drought currently being experienced is a cause for concern to the construction industries.

Surely the sector is in panic mode, while government moots a raft of ways to preserve the little that remains.

The sector is adamant that solutions should just be sustainable and permanent. Droughts are nothing new in a country which receives very minimal rainfall year in year out. It is therefore pertinent to call for permanent solutions to ensure that the problems associated with this precious liquid are solved once and for all. The discourse on construction cannot be complete if the current water crises remains out of this medium which serves as the only mouthpiece for the construction sector.

While discussions continue on whether Windhoek should link with Kavango River or Zambezi River there is need for people to change their mindset on the use of water. What is key to note is that these sources are far and any of these interventions should cost a fortune.

These solutions however override the costs associated as they bring about permanent solutions to a problem which has existed for decades.

Before I forget, we have gone green. Our magazine has been endorsed by the Green Building Council Namibia.

This is no mean fit. This reflects who we are and what we represent in the country. We promote clean energy sources and support construction of buildings and cities that are environmentally sensitive, economically viable, socially just and culturally significant.

Driven by a desire to promote the construction industry and help players in the sector keep up to date with developments and practical matters, Construction Namibia covers topics including contracts, cost management, procurement, construction law and regulations, communication and project management skills.

The turn of the new millennium has set on course numerous routes for growth in the construction sector characterised by massive investment in green buildings, low cost housing, optimisation of power utilities and development of sound business.

This hive of activity has not been met with corresponding enthusiasm in the media sector. As a result, there is a gap that is set to be filled by a fresh medium giving value and focusing only on the construction industry. This magazine focuses on construction developments in Namibia particularly in areas such as roads, residential and commercial building construction.

Construction magazine is driven by a strong editorial team with a vision to ensure expansion of clients business through eportage of significant events and developments in the world of construction including the newest methods of construction intended to improve efficiency, performance and reduce construction waste. Construction magazine is set to become the largest construction magazine edited exclusively to guide CEOs, owners of small-to-midsize companies, engineers, technological experts and policy makers to success.

Stars can only be seen because they shine in darkness far above the hustle and bustle.

Join us as we let success do the talking.

Enjoy reading this edition as we take you far and wide on the road network. By the way Chile has produced more energy from Solar they are looking for neighbors to give some. We mourn the sad passing of Karl-Heinz Schltz. There is so much to keep your fingers snapping.

Enjoy.

Nexus railway construction legacy in Ondangwa

N

exus Construction Company is confident about the successful construction of the N40 million railway bridge between Ondangwa and Oshakati within the specified timeframe. This project is part of a railway line construction between the two towns which is divided into three parts: two 14-km earthworks projects and a bridge. Construction Namibia Magazine set an interview with Nexus Chief Executive Officer Kelly Nghixulifwa to find out more on the bridge project.

When did the construction of the bridge commence and when is it likely to be finished?

The Construction of the bridge started on 19 May 2015. The project will be finished on 30 September 2016.

How much steel, concrete is being used in this construction?

120 tonnes of steel reinforcement bars and 1050m3 of concrete will be used for the bridge construction.

What type of bridge is this and what are the actual specifications. Please also explain why the design is preferred ahead of other alternatives?

The bridge type being constructed in a reinforced concrete bridge resting on raft foundations. The concrete used is Class 35 Mpa with fly ash. The design is preferred because of the availability of the required construction materials on the local market. This type of bridge also requires minimal maintenance during its life span when compared to other types of bridges such as the composite girder, or the steel bridges.

What will be the benefit of this bridge construction to the Namibian nation?

Safety. Level crossings is the only alternative and extremely dangerous.

Employment creation and knowledge transfer during construction.

T

he Roads Authority (RA) has in line with the Harambee Prosperity Plan commenced with major road construction projects, setting the stage for massive success in line with the economic blueprint. The Chief Executive Officer of the RA, Conrad Lutombi recently held an interview with the Namibia Broadcasting Corporation (NBC) in which he gave an in-depth assessment on major achievements and progress on the development of the road network within Namibia.

Construction Namibia Magazine brings to you the full interview below.

• In the recent State of the Nation Address President Hage Geingob announced the extension of the road network to 1480 km in the next five years.

What are the major achievements of the road • network so far?

The RA was established in the year 2000 with the mandate to manage Namibia’s national road network with a view to achieve a safe and efficient road sector. The management of the proclaimed road network includes planning, designing, construction and maintenance.

When you talk of shoddy work done by the Contractors, it is a process that starts with the design and eventually the actual construction by the Contractor.

The rehabilitation of the Okahandja – Karibib road which links the Otjozondjupa and Erongo Regions.

The upgrading to bitumen standard of Phase 1 of the Gobabis – Grootfontein road project in the Omaheke Region. We are currently busy with phase 2 which is from Otjinene to Okondjatu connecting to Grootfontein and work is progressing well.

DEVELOPMENT road and the anticipated lifespan. Some of the roads are designed not to be trunk roads or freeways, they have their standards like normal gravel roads where we expect very minimal transport. The Contractor carries the work according to the designs so when, due to other reasons, you overdesign or under-design, the road will fail.

In cases where a road was expected to carry a few vehicles but then suddenly becomes busy due to an economic boom, the road does not cope. However, the majority of our roads are designed to have a 20 year lifespan with a very effective maintenance programme.

We sometimes experience Contractors who try to take shortcuts by doing work which does not comply with our standards.

For such cases, we have a retention period of one year where we keep the money from the Contractor until he or she has completed the work in accordance with the set specifications. If the road holds and everything is fine then we release the money, but if the road is damaged we use the money to repair it. It is important to mention here that we have put mechanism in place to check the quality of the construction projects. We have our own Supervising Consultant who has a laboratory to test the construction material and in addition to this, the RA also has its own laboratory equipment at the Head Office. A Contractor must comply with the specifications and we verify through our Consultants’ tests results which are sent to our laboratory for cross checking and verification.

RA has its own national plans and then the Harambee plan which has infrastructure development action which requires upgrading of roads. How do you tie in these plans together?

We do have the Medium to Long Term Road Master Plan which focuses on new projects beyond ten years. The input comes from Regional Leadership and the Regional Road Boards. With the Harambee plan, the majority of the projects which were already identified are already in our plans. The only difference is that the plan has become a priority. The Harambee projects such as the Windhoek- Airport road, the SwakopmundHentiesbay-Uis-Kamanjab road upgrade and the Okahandja-Windhoek dual carriage are already in progress. We are done with the detailed design of the Omuthiya-Oshakati road updgrade to a dual carriage way and we are ready to go on tender. The tender process for the Swakopmund- Walvisbay road upgrade is completed and we will commence with the construction of this project very soon.

The other Harambee project is the two plus one lanes between Karibib and Swakopmund and this project is currently in the design stage. I am pleased to share with you that 90% of the Harambee projects are underway and we are confident that we will be able to deliver as per the plan.

Funding is a challenge but since the Harambee projects are priority, we will go back to the drawing board and see which projects can be put on hold to start work on the ones on the priority list. Where we have challenge, we will approach our Government to seek advice on funding sources.

Which organization is RA working with and how are you benefitting from these engagements?

Within the SADC region we have the Association Southern African National Roads Agencies (ASANRA). RA Namibia is currently holding the Presidency of this organization. We are privileged to spearhead this Association. This is a platform to market Namibia while learning how to effectively manage the road network. We are also a member of various regional committees and associations. Through these forums, we are ensuring that the vehicles which use our roads comply with all set regional and international standards.

Apart from funding, what are the major challenges RA faces?

The major challenge apart from financing is getting experienced Engineers. We would like to attract Engineers to ensure that we get appropriate individuals to do our jobs. This is a regional problem and we are working very hard to attract and develop capacity.

How does the Harambee plan affect the RA budget on projects which were already being implemented?

ENERGY

Solar energy exploits in Namibia Namibia is one of the richest countries in the world – when it comes to solar radiation.

F

or decades Namibia has had to import most of its electricity from surrounding countries.

In 2015 the share of imports accounted for about 70% of its electricity consumption via the Southern African Power Pool arrangement, despite Namibia’s aim to cover 75% of electric energy demand from internal sources by 2010.

Most of the country’s demand of 600MW is consumed by the industrial sector and only 34% of the population currently have access to electricity.

Namibia’s government-owned national utility, NamPower, has warned of dramatic electricity price hikes. Honourable Minister Obeth Kandjoze has mentioned on Friday, 10 June 2016 in a speech in front of stakeholders at the Ministry of Mines and Energy that despite a regulatory framework from 2006 there were no sufficient private investments done in the energy sector. The burden on Nampower to provide sufficient energy can only be relieved with private investments. So far, however, only two IPPs (Independent Power Producers) are delivering energy to the public grid: Innosun in Omburu with a 4.5 MW solar plant and HopSol in Otjiwarongo with a 5 MW solar plant.

HopSol Solar Plant Otjiwarongo And all this despite the fact that the Namibian solar radiation could make the country almost independent from external electricity purchases!

Namibia’s excellent sunshine regime allows annual energy yields of between 1,600 kWh/kWp in coastal areas, up to about 2,100 kWh/kWp in select locations in southern Namibia. While the specific yield per installed Wp depends on the type of PV technology used, Namibia’s outstanding solar resource implies that a hypothetical PV array with a capacity of one kWp will produce between 1,600 and 2,100 kWh of electrical energy per year. This is a considerable energy yield and ranks amongst the best in the world.

Most urban people take electricity for granted, but users notice the regular and substantial cost increases on their electricity bills. Grid parity, which is the point where electricity generated from solar PV is cheaper than that supplied by the electricity grid, has meanwhile arrived in most distribution areas in Namibia.

It drives private investments and changes the way commercial and domestic users think about their own electricity use, and its supply. (source: Konrad Adenauer Stiftung, Namibia´s Energy Future 2012)

Source: HopSol Africa, pv roof installation in the central of Namibia While solar PV does not produce electricity when the sun is not shining, it can make a significant contribution to reduce the electrical energy requirements during the day and can make a sizeable and sustainable contribution to the reduction of the country’s day-time electricity needs. (source: Konrad Adenauer Stiftung, Namibia´s Energy Future 2012).

Source: HopSol Africa, residential installation It seems that the Namibian society is becoming aware of these facts since not only the residential and industrial solar photovoltaic installations are increasing in number.

Also for off-grid solutions the solar market has never been as attractive as it is now.

Today, in a slow and silent manner, similarly to how solar water heaters made their inroads during the past decade, Namibian investments in solar photovoltaic (PV) technology are increasing. PV converts sunlight to electricity.

Noutrifarm brings cost-effective, water-saving and sustainable agric solutions to Namibia

I

n response to the on-going devastating drought situation in Namibia, a group of young volunteers has devised a plan to grow animal fodder and vegetables at low cost using locally available resources and modern Agricultural Technology. It is an Environmental friendly Technology for producing food with minimum quantities of water, without soil in limited space all year round without using pesticides or herbicides.

It can be applied anywhere irrespective of weather or landscape patterns as long as there is access to some usable water.

Erastus Ndung’u one of the volunteers in this project says that this Technology which applies Hydroponics/Aeroponics Systems if widely used in the country could become part of the answer to Namibia’s perennial food shortages and could greatly supplement the other efforts being implemented to address the situation.

Hydroponics is a sub-set of Hydro culture and is a method of growing crops using mineral nutrients in water without soil. Terrestrial plants may be grown with their roots in the mineral solution only, or in an inert medium such as perlite or gravel.

Growing fodder for animals is an expensive process. Getting equipment for creation of upmarket greenhouses is even more expensive.

For the rural farmer or an ordinary Namibian at home, we had to devise a plan to come with a cost-effective system that can save animals and produce vegetables. Fodder produced by our unit is of high quality, cost- effective, contaminant free, organic, and will sustain livestock through drought periods, help increase weight, increase growth, increase milk production as well as fertility and immunity.

Animal fodder can be harvested daily all year round and fed to animals irrespective of prevailing weather conditions.

Construction Namibia May - June 2016

This will enable our farmers to add value and make more profits from their livestock.

Ndung’u says in the last three years they have conducted some research on how best Namibia could grow its own food irrespective of the harsh dry weather conditions and came up with some positive results after two successful pilot trials.

“What is also important to note is that we are not inventing anything new. What we are doing is to adapt this system to suite the ordinary person with a low cost budget using very little water and natural resources like solar power”.

Our Mission is to empower African farmers to successfully and sustainably address adverse climate change effects by training and equipping them to apply modern agricultural technologies to produce enough food and animal fodder using minimum water.

PETROLLAND UNIQUE DESIGN OF IT’S FUEL STATIONS

P

etrolland planned to erect 200 service stations in Namibia and South Africa.

The planning, done in 2008, came out of a regional feasibility study commissioned by the Department of Energy of South Africa that determined a fuel supply shortfall of eight billion liters per annum for the region, foremost in rural areas.

Petrolland funders concluded to address this shortfall through the erection of service and depots in the rural areas of South Africa and Namibia.

The exterior design is revolutionary and incorporate durable elements and attractive appearance, a total departure from the panels and building used. This design has been done by the construction company Bulldozer in South Africa.

Ecopur of Portugal has designed a revolutionary water retention and re-use plus the use of durable, in wafer-wrapped photovoltaic panels to power the units and the lights at night at the Petrolland fuel stations.

WASH WATER RECYCLE SYSTEMS ECODEPURÂŽ DEPURWASH DEPURWASH system allows treatment of effluents generated in vehicles and machinery washing operations, being applied downstream S-IP lines (Sludge Trap / Oil Separator / Sample collection box) according to EN 858 -1 / 2, adjusting the treated water quality for reuse during the stages of pre-wash and wash.

The system reduces up to 90% water consumption in washing operations, resulting not only in an effective contribution to the preservation of resource "water" but also a worthwhile investment with economic return in the short term. The excess effluent meets the discharge limits imposed by current legislation regarding the parameters COD, BOD5, TSS, Grease & Oils and Total Hydrocarbons and can be directly discharged in natural areas (water / soil).

ECONOMIC BENEFIT Water Resource consumption management and optimization allows a cost reduction associated with the drinking water consumption.

The actual savings should be assessed case by case, based on the water reuse expected volume compared to the rate applied by the local authority, or at cost/m3 in case of water supplied by Tank truck.

FEATURES >Reuse rate up to 90% >Legislation and Normative full compliance >Detergent consumption reducing in pre-washing and washing steps >Easy and quick installation >High functional safety >Simplicity of operation and maintenance >Absence of visual impact, noise and odours >Automatic operation

A WORLD RANKING GREEN SIX FOR NAMIBIA

E

mcon Consulting Group now officially occupies the “greenest” building in Namibia, after their office building in the heart of Klein Windhoek attained a coveted 6-Star Green Star SA (GSSA) Existing Building Performance (EBP) rating. A 6-Star rating is the maximum possible and signifies “World Leadership”.

Green Building is in its infancy in Namibia, as this is only the second building to be rated, after the new FNB Head Office building achieved a 4-Star new building rating in 2015.

In congratulating Emcon on this achievement, Chairperson of the Green Building Council of Namibia (GBCNA), Mr Frederick Muketi said: “I heartily congratulate you in achieving the coveted status of the first Six-Star Existing Building Performance in Namibia. This augurs well for your business as green consultants and the future of Namibia’s green revolution too”.

This is also the first submission compiled entirely by a Namibian-based Green Star Accredited Team. More remarkably, the 6-Star rating was achieved on the first submission, where typically two are required.

The GSSA system provides green rating tools for new and existing buildings, and for interior revamps via the “Interiors” tool. Qualified Accredited Professionals (AP) prepare an application submission which is audited by an independent assessor appointed by the Green

18

Building Council.

The EBP rating requires a stringent 12-month performance period, in which the building management team has to improve building performance in terms of energy, water, emissions and waste, while green policies and procedures are implemented. The system also measures building occupant comfort levels.

According to GBCSA’s Chief Technical Officer, Manfred Braune: “This project scored very high results in key areas of its rating, including energy consumption, water management, emissions and transport management. It boasts several impressive sustainable building features.”

These offices use only 21% of the energy compared to the industry average, while an occupant survey pegged satisfaction levels at 81% and the building features a xeriscape garden that requires no watering.

The Green Star rating system for new buildings has been available for a number of years, but the recent release of the new GSSA EBP tool version 1 after a pilot phase is expected to have a massive impact on sustainability in the built environment. While new buildings provide an opportunity to build sustainability into building DNA with maximum impact and to “get it right first time”, existing buildings represent 99% of the building stock. Existing buildings were typically constructed using Construction Namibia May - June 2016

older more wasteful technologies, so their energy and water impact are significant, and even minor renovations and refurbishments present an excellent opportunity for significant improvement through the greening process.

The rating of the offices has been a wholly positive process for Emcon. The building occupants are the beneficiaries of a more comfortable, clean, healthy and happy working environment, with a significantly reduced environmental impact. The building owners report that this rating was achieved at relatively low cost, and the reduced operating costs provide continuous savings.

According to Brian Wilkinson, CEO of GBCSA, “Green building presents a compelling business case. Our partners, associates nd Green Star SA certified projects have already started reaping the rewards of atheir green investments through lower operating costs, higher returns on their assets, minimised churn and increased productivity – all while doing their bit for the environment”.

CIF calls for NEEEF policy revamp

T

HE Construction Industries Federation of Namibia (CIF) recently conducted a survey among its members in respect of the 2015 New Equitable Economic Empowerment Framework (NEEEF) policy, as well as the NEEEF Bill, which is currently under review.

Within a week, 115 enterprises had responded to the survey.

Respondents inter alia raised concern about the definition of previously disadvantaged; requested more clarity about which businesses would be affected; and questioned if indeed NEEEF in its current format could achieve its purpose and objective.

This initiative was taken to support the consultation process which was initiated on 5 February by Prime Minister Saara Kuugongelwa-Amadhila.

The Office of the Prime Minister had referred stakeholders to the draft bill on its website and

Our industry is not ready for the compliancy requirements of the six pillars as stipulated in the 2015 NEEEF policy, as it is too rigid and is likely to force many employers out of business, which is against the purpose and objective of NEEEF. More consultation is needed.

Respondents further questioned the legality of NEEEF in its current format.

The general consensus is that empowerment initiatives should not lead to distinctions based on race, which many respondents considered as unconstitutional and that it would negatively impact race relations in Namibia.

Instead, poor Namibians, regardless of race, should benefit through increased focus and monitoring of already existing empowerment efforts.

Respondents were adamant that wealthy Namibians, irrespective of race, should not become beneficiaries of any prospective additional empowerment efforts due to the proposed NEEEF policy or NEEEF Bill.

Respondents to the survey are of the opinion that the current level of education and skill in Namibia is still too low to be able to enforce the proposed 25% ownership of disadvantaged Namibians, or to be able to enforce 50% board or management control by disadvantaged Namibians.

Therefore, concerted efforts are required to provide quality education. In addition, many of the small-to-medium-sized enterprises that are members of the CIF, require greater access to finance, training, support in respect of marketing and to be geared to secure contracts in the industry.

As the employers' organisation of one of the leading economic sectors in Namibia, the Construction Industries Federation of Namibia regarded it as prudent to engage its 465 members, which consist of sole proprietors, partnerships, close corporations or companies operational in the building and construction sector.

Enterprises were surveyed in order for the CIF to give feedback on both documents, namely the NEEEF policy and the NEEEF Bill.

This will not only ensure that the needs of the labour market will be more effectively met, but more importantly, that Namibian youth reach their potential and can look into the future with hope. They should be the generation that will cement the peaceful change that was started 25 years ago.

For example, the previously proposed compliancy requirements as in the 2011 NEEEF policy would have allowed greater flexibility yet within the constraints of achieving an overall compliancy score.

BĂ„RBEL KIRCHNER

The NEEEF policy 2011 determined that businesses needed to secure a score of 50 points to be NEEEF compliant.

had requested submissions before February, the date which has now been extended to 31 March.

There is no doubt that we must tackle the issue of poverty and raise the standard of living of disadvantaged Namibians. However, the question is whether NEEEF is the right vehicle to achieve that.

The government's past persistent efforts to reduce poverty among its citizens seems to have paid off, as the overall poverty rate is said to have reduced in Namibia. Official statistics also show that the poverty rate has dropped from 93,3% in 1993, three years after Namibia's independence, to 28,7% in 2010. However, poverty is still high.

Despite common understanding and agreement that the reduction of poverty in Namibia needs to be addressed, the strategy of achieving 'poverty eradication' via NEEEF's principles was not sustainable, and would very likely achieve the opposite; i.e. that the poor will get poorer.

Respondents of the survey are generally of the opinion that it is highly unlikely that the 2015 NEEEF Bill in its current format can achieve its purpose and objectives and is confident that with further stakeholder involvement, the feasibility of the proposed policy in Namibia can be further reviewed and fine-tuned.

Results of the survey reflect that in order to tackle poverty sustainably, concerted and joint efforts need to be taken to improve the access to quality education for young and adult learners.

Construction Namibia May - June 2016

It is important to note that in order to ensure compliance with NEEEF as per the current Bill, all newly registered entities, be it a partnership, private company or close corporation would be required to have as one of its partners, shareholders or members a previously disadvantaged person, who must own at least 25% of the equity in the newly registered entity.

Existing entities would be compelled to comply by virtue of government only issuing authorisations, licences, work permits, etcetera to those entities who comply with the provisions of the proposed NEEEF Bill.

It appears that the NEEEF Bill is not sector specific and will find application across the entire economic sector of Namibia; and that all private sector enterprises, which include sole proprietorships, will be required to comply with the provisions of the NEEEF Bill.

INFRASTRUCTURE

A

Mr. Hofni

FTER a close study of the Harambee Prosperity Plan (HPP) and all national development plans unveiled since independence, one finds a common feature in them. They outline infrastructure development as the main tool for economic stimulation and enablement.

National Infrastructure Refurbishment Needed Nampower’s 2015 annual report shows that Namibia locally generates 42% of the energy consumed, while 58% is imported from other SADC countries.

Infrastructure refurbishments can be done through government funding or public− private partnership (PPP) investments on targeted infrastructure projects.

These planning principles are correct, since global research has proven that fit−for− purpose infrastructure is a key ingredient for an efficient and sustainable economy.

Namibia’s net energy importation is due to a lack of sufficient energy supply infrastructure.

Thus, to avoid elongated effects of the ongoing water crisis and future power failures, our water and power supply infrastructure has to be rejuvenated.

While infrastructural development is essential to national development, the developmental level of our national infrastructure leaves much to be desired.

Concerning our road infrastructure, it can be admitted that Namibia has well−established road networks linking our major cities and towns.

Well−focused research on the infrastructure sector from engineering science academicians and practitioners will also help in addressing and aiding governmental efforts. The participation of other professionals and the whole public will also be instrumental in the rejuvenation of these infrastructure projects.

The current state of both our social and economic infrastructure is not satisfactory.

Thus, it needs urgent refurbishment.

However, as good as it is, it should be noted that most of our present major roads were constructed before independence. Thus, many have reached their design lifespan and need rehabilitation.

To name a few amongst many, the countrywide backlog in houses and serviced erven, the inefficiency of national water and energy supply infrastructure, worn−out roads and the inefficient, obsolete railway infrastructure all attest to the need for refurbishment.

Also, the incapability of the central region’s water supply infrastructure has led to the water crisis currently facing the country’s central regions.

In his recent interview with Namibian Sun, the City of Windhoek’s strategic executive for infrastructure, water and technical services Pierre van Rensburg said the water crisis is going to be long term and worse than many anticipate it to be.

The effect of the water crisis can already be felt, with water supply cuts forcing companies like Coca−Cola, Meatco and others to cut down their production lines; as recently observed.

While the water crisis has reached us, the probability of an energy crisis in the future cannot be ruled out when considering that Namibia is a net energy importer.

The same can be said of our railway infrastructure, whose obsoleteness has led to the reduction in the use of this medium of transportation. An article published in 2010 aimed at evaluating the effectiveness of the rail industry found that 54% of the national railway track is classified as substandard, owing to the fact that most of it was built in the first quarter of the 20th century.

Furthermore, the fleet of locomotives and wagons presently in use has been in service for more than 40 years, hence higher operating and maintenance costs.

Investments in infrastructure will not only improve the quality of life of Namibians, it will also help in positioning the country as a worthwhile investment destination in Africa.

The current state of our national infrastructure is not satisfactory; hence, there’s an urgent need for transformation.

We do acknowledge past initiatives by the government on trying to improve infrastructure developments, but a more aggressive approach is needed. It will not only take governmental initiatives to address these, but participation from Namibians from all walks of life; especially individuals (both academicians and practitioners) in technical fields such as engineering, architecture, surveying and town planning.

"Hofni Unomasa Nguvenjengua is a graduate civil engineer from Unam, and also an associate member of the South African Institute of Civil Engineers (SAICE). +264818760443 and un58479@gmail.com"

The higher costs of operating and maintaining the substandard sections of the rail track, in addition to the outdated fleet of locomotives and wagons, renders the whole railway industry less profitable and less efficient.

Infrastructure refurbishment will not only improve service delivery in these two key sectors, it will also help with establishing the country as a key regional logistics hub.

ENERGY

Chile in solar energy excellence

W

hile Namibia struggles to find a firm foot on how to effectively harvest energy from the sun to avert the crippling power shortage in the country, Chile has invested so much in its solar power industry that the country is now generating more electricity from the sun than it knows what to do with.

Ever increasing energy prices, insufficient electricity supplies and the dependency on foreign energy sources pose significant risks to Namibia’s economic stability. If Namibia is determined to achieve development goals as stipulated in Vision 2030 and the Harambee Prosperity Plan, the county has to make full use of the natural resources required for renewable energy supplies especially from the sun, wind biomass from invader bush.

A new report reveals that in Chile, spot prices on solar electricity dropped to zero for 113 days of the year through April, and many

24

more days of free solar power are expected to come. Taking advantage of free solar power is a huge benefit for residents, but analysts are concerned about how this will impact the market, since investors and owners of solar power plants may lose money.

surpluses have driven the price to zero, and this year’s figures are on target to meet or exceed last year’s number of free solar power days, which was 192. Simultaneously, areas under-served by the grid are experiencing higher than normal prices.

Solar power fed to Chile’s central grid has quadrupled in capacity since 2013. The grid is now fed by 29 solar farms, and another 15 are planned for construction in the future.

But Chile has two power networks in play: a central grid and a northern grid, which are not connected. Infrastructure in some areas of each grid is poor, so there are places where the grids simply cannot transmit as much electricity.

Critics are concerned about the long-term effects of the massive solar industry growth, without the necessary infrastructure updates to handle the increased capacity. As Carlos Barria, former chief of the government’s renewable energy division and a professor at Pontifical Catholic University of Chile, in Santiago, told Bloomberg: “[President] Michelle Bachelet’s government has set the energy sector as a priority,” said Carlos Finat, president of the country’s renewable association, known as Acera. “But planning has been focused

Due to the age-old principle of supply and demand, some areas have more electricity than they need, driving prices down, while other areas are under-served. In areas served by the northern part of the central grid, power

in the short term when it is necessary to have long term plans to solve these type of issues.”

PORT OF WALVIS BAY -

WATERFRONT AND MARINA DEVELOPMENT

T

his waterfront and marina will be the first of its kind in Namibia and will create and sustain a new industry which will support and attract other industries such as: leisure boating, retail, hospitality, tourism, recreational, water sports, maritime history, hotel, conferencing, luxury residential, commercial etc.

The project will have the following zones: 1.

2.

3.

4.

5.

Public walkway and mixed use (roads, walkway, esplanade, iconic tower, amphitheatres, museums, smaller restaurants, feature restaurant and public open spaces, arts and crafts vendors, etc.)

Marina (floating wooden jetties, yacht club, yacht repair facilities etc.)

Residential (luxury apartments and penthouses) Commercial (offices and retail) Hotel (hotel, gym, spa and conference facilities)

The project implementation model is as follows: • Namport will avail all land for the development by way of long term leases to private developers • Private developers (one or many) will be sourced by an open competitive bidding process (tender process) in 2016 • ll project implementation costs will be carried by the private developer(s)

•

Ownership of the land will remain with Namport and any development will be governed by a commercial agreement (DBOOT) between Namport and the developer(s). All developments within the waterfront/marina precinct will be regulated by the applicable local authority bylaws applicable on developments of this nature.

The main focus of the development is to support and enrich the public recreational experience of Walvis Bay by preserving and enhancing the public spaces along the Esplanade/Lagoon and creating an extension right up to the port boundary to complete the visitor's maritime experience. The waterfront/ marina development will make provision for passengers from visiting cruise liners to leave the port area via a control point allowing direct

access from the port to the Waterfront area.

All this will be achieved by striking a balance between development and an ecological sensitive environment whilst still preserving the unique ambiance of the present waterfront precinct.

The proposed waterfront, on completion, must provide an environmental and cultural experience to tourists and residents. Besides the waterfront experience the development will make provision for commercial activities including restaurants, hotels, travel agents, tour operators, amphitheatre, museums etc.

Real estate development such as luxury apartments, conference facilities, art theatres and office space etc. will also be developed.

Frequently Asked Questions Have any developments started for the new marina and waterfront project?

A feasibility study was recently completed. Currently we have invited the stakeholders to submit an Expression of Interest for this project.

How much money will this development cost, and how will this be funded?

Pending the results from the Expression of Interest campaign, it is likely that most portions of the Waterfront and Marina developments will be privately funded. Namport will provide some of the infrastructure, such as the breakwater. The exact amount of funding required is still unconfirmed since this is dependent on the appetite from private sector.

What are some of the benefits of this new development?

The waterfront and marine promises to integrate a working harbour, local heritage, and revitalize urban development and tourism.

How many shops, restaurants and hotels will be built as part of this new development?

The waterfront and marina development will cater for the following

zones: Residential, Commercial, Hotel, Marina, Mixed use public space How will the new marina/waterfront benefit the Walvis Bay economy in particular and the Namibian economy in general?

The new development will benefit tourism in Walvis Bay and provide more focus on the commercial activities in the waterfront.

How many jobs will be created in the construction phase and after completion?

Developers are likely to phase construction and job opportunities will be according to market demands. Once construction is completed, the development will create retail, tourism and commercial related job opportunities.

When will this project be completed?

The waterfront and marina development project will be phased from 2018 – 2022

OBITUARY

Schulz, a great loss to construction

industr y

Late Karl-Heinz Schulz CIF President and co-owner of Namibia Construction.

C

onstruction Namibia Magazine joins the Construction Industries Federation of Namibia (CIF) and the whole of Namibia in mourning CIF President and coowner of Namibia Construction, Karl-Heinz Schulz, who died unexpectedly on the 14th of May, at the age of 55.

The funeral service took place on 21 May. Prior independence Karl-Heinz Schulz was associated with the previously called Master Building Association, which after 1993 changed to the Construction Industries Federation of Namibia. For many years, he was also an active executive committee member of the federation and since 2010 he was the president of the CIF. Karl-Heinz Schulz fought for what he believed was right for the Namibian construction industry. Leading the federation of 480 member companies, he raised the voice of Namibia’s construction industry and in particular emphasised the need for supporting and empowering Namibian companies. He called for greater transparency in public procurement practices. He felt that the Namibian industry needed to be supported

30

Construction Namibia May - June 2016

to ensure continuity, to further develop skills and capacity, and for continued decent employment in the Namibian construction sector.

Mr Schulz always advocated and stood for quality and standards. He wanted to see the establishment of a Namibian construction council for greater regulation and monitoring of the industry.

Bärbel Kirchner, consulting general manager of the CIF said: “Leading our industry, KarlHeinz Schulz always called for greater support for real Namibian companies. Although he welcomed competition, he did argue for a level playing field in the conduct of business and was weary of growing number of foreign companies most likely sponsored by their governments being allowed to operate in Namibia, which he felt undermines the development of our industry.

CIF has also set up an e-mail address rememberingkarlheinz@cifnamibia.com for anyone that would like to say something about Karl-Heinz.
