EXPO 2020 DUBAI ANNOUNCES CONTRACT FOR AL WASL PLAZA Cimolai Rimond to build steel structure for the centerpiece of the mega event, announces Ahmed Al Khatib, Vice President of Real Estate and Delivery at Expo 2020 Dubai

E

xpo 2020 Dubai has awarded the contract to build the steel structure for Al Wasl Plaza, the centerpiece of the mega event, to Abu Dhabibased Cimolai Rimond Middle East, it was announced yesterday at The Big 5.

Al Wasl Plaza will connect the three thematic districts at the heart of the Expo 2020 Dubai site. Designed by renowned US architects Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill Architecture, Al Wasl Plaza will be topped by a 67 metre high domed trellis inspired by the shape of the Expo 2020 logo. The inside of the dome will also act as a projection surface to provide a 360-degree experience for visitors.

“Al Wasl is the historical name of Dubai, it means the connection,” said Ahmed Al Khatib, Vice President of Real Estate and Delivery at Expo 2020 Dubai at the Excellence in Construction Summit on the opening day of The Big 5.

“It reflects Dubai’s role in connecting east with west and as a place for bringing people together for Expo 2020. It also reflects our slogan of Connecting Minds, Creating the Future. We are very proud of Al Wasl Plaza because it symbolizes what we want to achieve at the Expo.”

Cimolai Rimond was responsible for the building design management, building information modelling and construction management of the showpiece UAE Pavilion for Expo Milano 2015.

The Italian company has since handled the complete dismantling of the Foster & Partners-designed pavilion and its relocation to Masdar City in Abu Dhabi.

Mr Al Khatib added that the award for Cimolai Rimond takes the total value of construction contracts awarded by Expo 2020 Dubai so far this year to AED 10.8bn ($2.94bn), putting it within

touching distance of the AED 11bn target the organisers announced earlier in 2017. To date Expo 2020 has awarded 2,600 contracts, he said.

UAE-based companies, including Al Futtaim Carillion, Khansaheb, Orascom-Besix, Arabtec and Tristar, are playing a leading role in the delivery of the site, he said, adding that construction has progressed tremendously over the last two years.

The design phases for all major pavilions has been completed while infrastructure work is progressing towards completion by the end of 2018. Three substations are due to be energized by the end of this year. Construction of the thematic districts and Al Wasl Plaza is on track and will be completed by October 2019, a year before the

event starts, he said.

“As of this moment we have 1,058 days to go until the Expo doors open” he said. “Since the day the UAE was chosen for this event we have been working diligently on the construction of the site. It’s an ambitious vision with countless moving parts, but I’m delighted to report that we are making great strides towards creating a smart and sustainable space.”

He added: “1,058 days may sound like a lot but I can assure you that the countdown is concentrated in our minds. We are putting on an event of size and scale and complexity that has not been seen before in this region. We will use the global media spotlight to show a different, modern, progressive side to our culture and people.”

Mr Al Khatib stressed that putting

a legacy in place for the event has been a top priority since day one.

“We received a clear instruction from His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum not to demolish anything for Expo. More than 80% of the buildings will remain.

Only temporary structures will be removed.

“An incredible event requires an incredible site and that’s just what we’ve designed the Expo masterplan to provide. We are building a lasting legacy not just for the UAE but for the entire region. It’s a space that will have a life long beyond the Expo event itself.”

The Expo 2020 Dubai site is designed to welcome up to 60,000 people at peak hours through four main gates, one for each district as well as the main entry gate from the metro station.

PORTUGUESE CERAMIC CRAFTSMANSHIP ON SHOW APICER - Ceramics, Portugal Does it Better Hall: Rashid Stand No.: D201 A presentation today by awardwinning architect Luís Pedro Silva will be one of the highlights of the Portuguese offering at The Big 5 this year.

As part of the Big 5 Talks educational programme, Pedro Silva will give a Sustainability Talk on the ‘Challenges and Sustainable symbiosis between Architecture and Ceramics’.

His presentation, between 14:1015:10 in Rashid Hall, is inspired by the Porto Cruise Terminal project he designed using hexagonal ceramic modules.

The talk will demonstrate the synergies between art and architecture by focusing on three key aspects: from territory to detail; from

the detail to the site and from the site to the body.

He will talk about the challenges faced during the project and the materials he used to build it. He will also explore the uniqueness of ceramic as a material, its quality, durability, resistance, great design and tridimensional assets.

Pedro Silva will attend the show in support of APICER - the Portuguese Association of Ceramics Industry.

Under the campaign title ‘Ceramics, Portugal Does it Better’, the APICER stand will showcase the country’s innovative ceramic products from floors and coatings, tiles, bricks, sanitary ware ceramics and utilitarian, decorative ceramics and glassware.

TANKS OF STRENGTH Balmoral Tanks Hall: Hall 3 Stand No.: 3C136 With much of the global manufacturing industry in turmoil because of geopolitical events, UK-based Balmoral Tanks has maintained and strengthened its commitment to the MENA region.

Indeed the company has reported an upturn in sales activity during the last 12 months.

Balmoral believes this is because its products are recognised as being “the best in the market” and are specified into 99% of the region’s most prestigious projects.

The brand is well known and respected.

“We are certainly not the cheapest on the market, we don’t try to be, but we are committed to high quality UK-manufactured and accredited products and the very best levels of customer service,” says export sales director, Simon Scott.

This claim is supported by a $13m investment in a new 60,000 sqft manufacturing plant in England, which incorporates a new epoxy coating line, in-line shot blasting alongside the latest laser cutting and fabrication facilities.

As an engineering company at its core, Balmoral has designed a plant and installed processes that are at the very forefront of tank manufacturing technology.

Protecting your reputation In the overall scheme of things the cost of water storage in a project is relatively minor. A saving of 10% on a tank could turn into a liability costing many hundreds of thousands of dollars.

“Is this a risk worth taking when a tank failure could wipe out any profit and cause your company significant and potentially irredeemable reputational damage?” asks Scott.

He added: “We offer the widest choice of water/wastewater storage and processing solutions from a single supplier. Our experience tells us that it’s good to talk and we know that our customers benefit from receiving the most appropriate product for their project – not a product that’s supplied because it’s the only one available from the manufacturer.

“Talk to us in good time and we will help you budget correctly for a successful and cost effective

tank installation.”

The company’s range of liquid storage and processing solutions spans hot press GRP and steel sectional tanks, cylindrical bolted steel tanks and high performing epoxy coated steel tanks. These products have been installed in shopping malls, hotels, hospitals, sports arenas, and food processing factories.

They are also used widely by the

anaerobic digestion and utilities sectors – there really is a tank for all requirements in the portfolio – and that’s before towers, roofing solutions, inspection and technical services are considered Scott concluded: “Come and see us on stand 3C136 during The Big 5 2017. You will find we are knowledgeable, friendly, hugely experienced and eager to serve.” www.balmoral-group.co.uk

provides maximum durability, robustness and resistance to water hammer.

The system is multifunctional as it features integrated nonreturn protection. It can be mounted horizontally or vertically providing flexibility in usage and because of its gasket-free sealing

feature, is guaranteed to have an extended lifetime.

The newest update to the product is that the system is also available in a new connection type, DIN EN 26554 (face-to-face dimensions). The ARI team is happy to discuss more. www.ari-armaturen.com

BUILDING FOR THE FUTURE Anis Sajan, managing director of Danube Group, discusses the company’s offering at The Big 5 and its strategy going forward.

Hall: Hall 3 Stand No.: 3A131 / Rashid A191

HOW HAS DANUBE BENEFITED FROM EXHIBITING AT THE BIG 5 OVER THE YEARS? Trade shows are a major part of our marketing plan. The Big 5 is a fantastic platform to generate new leads and exposure for our business. The event is a great opportunity to meet our old and new customers to showcase our new products. We participate every year and this year we are launching new product lines of water heaters, mixers and tiles. Our target is also to get new business partners in different countries.

WHAT BRANDS AND PRODUCTS ARE YOU SHOWCASING THIS YEAR? We are showcasing all products under the Milano brand, which is wholly-owned by Danube Group, offering a range of sanitary, electrical products, tiles, water purifiers and hardware. The brand is distributed in Africa, Europe, Asia, India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka and has around 50 showrooms in the Middle East and is supported by more than 5,000 distributors across the world. We are presenting the latest technology water heaters, water purifiers, mixers, showers, tiles, bathtubs, washbasins and much more. Danube provides complete home improvement solutions under one roof so visitors can avail of this extensive offering when they visit our stand.

DO YOU HAVE ANY SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENTS OR NEW PRODUCT LAUNCHES AT THIS YEAR’S SHOW? We are launching the latest technology of Milano water heater.

Milano was the first water heater to receive both EQM & GC MARK certificates offering a state-of-theart product whose technology not only includes an enamel coated inner tank (glass lined), but also offers an enamel coated SS316L heating element (thermostat).

In addition, the new range of Milano DIY tiles will make changing interiors very easy, ecofriendly and affordable for all.

HOW IS BUSINESS FOR DANUBE RIGHT NOW? The company is moving from strength-to-strength, expanding its foothold globally with a 3,000 plus work force across strategic locations in the GCC, China and India. Currently we have 50 stores and by 2020 we hope we will have approximately 75 stores globally.

How would you describe the current state of the market and what factors are affecting it?

The market is stable due to the amount of construction that is going on. As a building materials company we capitalise on the construction industry boom. Our biggest strength is that we have a complete basket of products that includes everything. Most businesses face different challenges

“OUR BIGGEST STRENGTH IS THAT WE HAVE A COMPLETE BASKET OF PRODUCTS THAT INCLUDES EVERYTHING” every day including market conditions, payment issues and stiff competition but we have a vision to counter these challenges.

WHICH ARE YOUR STRONGEST MARKETS AT THE MOMENT IN TERMS OF SECTOR AND COUNTRY? The strongest market is definitely the GCC as the brand is born here but now we are targeting the African market where construction has been booming in recent years.

WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK FOR 2018?

Milano recorded a 30% increase in first half sales compared to last year and we will strive to maintain this in the coming year. Danube Group’s future growth plans have been drafted with market developments in mind. We are geared to meeting

the challenges ahead with our minds focused on Expo 2020 Dubai. As a group we aim to achieve 15 to 20% year-on-year growth till 2020 and we hope to open at least 5 showroom in 2018 and launch three new property developments.

WHAT IS DANUBE’S STRATEGY GOING FORWARD? We never sit on our laurels and make sure we maintain momentum by introducing new products, opening new showrooms and awarding new franchises in the African market to ensure that we remain ahead of the competition.

The Milano brand started in 2006 and today has a presence in the GCC, Africa, China and India. The main strategy of the brand is to offer customers value for money combined with the best quality.

Amer Khansaheb, managing director of Khansaheb Investments, on how the company plans to join the regional shift towards energy efficiency.

Khansaheb Industries Hall: Za’abeel Hall 6 Stand No.: Z6E57

TELL US ABOUT KHANSAHEB INDUSTRIES Khansaheb Industries is a subsidiary of Khansaheb Investments, created to invest in and setup a manufacturing business in the UAE. The vision is to be part of the UAE’s transformation into a sustainable knowledge based economy with a focus on manufacturing. Our first investment was the acquisition of Spiralite, a UK-based Green Duct with a Global IP. It is currently the only energy saving duct in the market and perhaps the world as well.

HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE THE OVERALL STATE OF THE MARKET THE COMPANY IS OPERATING IN RIGHT NOW AND WHAT ARE THE MAJOR FACTORS AFFECTING IT? We are operating in the construction market, which is currently going through a tough time. With the fall in property prices, we are seeing a shift in developers’ emphasis from quality to lowest price. With the large supply in real estate continuing to enter the market, I see the tough times continuing for a few years.

WHAT IS THE OUTLOOK FOR YOUR BUSINESS OVER THE NEXT 2-3 YEARS AND WHY? We have a positive outlook for

Khansaheb Industries, simply because our product is unrivalled in its performance and ability to save energy and hence operating costs, while at the same time being price competitive against the standard products. We have value engineered a few projects that we worked on and were able to give our clients energy savings ranging from 25% to 58%.

WHAT IS YOUR STRATEGY TO MOVING FORWARD? We have two levels of strategy, a higher level which will focus on adding innovative products that add value to our customers, and the UAE economy as a whole. We are already looking at two initiatives, one which could save up to 85% on water consumption. The second initiative could double the speed of construction and reduce the cost by a third. Both those initiatives are at early stages of feasibility and market studies.

The second level of strategy is that of our Spiralite product. We are working on setting up our global distribution network, which will help the speed with which we deliver Spiralite to the world from the UAE.

IS THIS YOUR FIRST TIME AT THE BIG 5?

This is our first time at the show as

“THIS IS OUR FIRST TIME AT THE SHOW AS BOTH A PARTICIPANT AND A SPONSOR. WE ARE DELIGHTED TO BE A PART OF IT” both a participant and a sponsor.

We are delighted to be a part of it.

HAVE YOU PLANNED ANY SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENTS OR NEW PRODUCT LAUNCHES AT THE SHOW THIS YEAR? We are announcing the full acquisition of Spiralite’s Global IP, and the fact that it is now a UAE manufactured product.

WHAT ATTRACTED YOU TO SPIRALITE AND WHAT ADVANTAGES DOES IT OFFER? The fact that it is a new technology with an IP. It is a great product that offers real advantages over other air ducts. The main advantages are that it could save energy consumption up to 58% on

the FAHUs, AHUs, and FCUs. It is very light in weight and easy to install and it is far better that other ducts in not allowing bacteria and fungus to grow in the duct.

It offers all of those advantages while at the same time being price competitive.

WHAT TYPE OF CLIENTS DO YOU HOPE TO ATTRACT AT THE SHOW? We are targeting developers and consultants who are conscious of their responsibility to protect the environment and save energy.

And those who are looking to save money and would like to transform their airducts from this hideous thing on the slab soffit that needs to be hidden, to a beautiful, neat and decorative item that can be featured.

SOLAR MARKET REPORT

SOLAR REVOLUTION The ability to harness the energy of the sun is well and truly here and the technology is seeing enthusiastic take up in the Middle East

The development of solar power is now firmly at the forefront of government thinking across the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC). Each of the six members of the regional group has at least one utility scale solar power project either operational, under construction or in the pipeline.

In the case of the UAE, its solar plans have reached an advanced stage, especially in Dubai where the 200MW second stage of the Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Solar Park has been online since March. It will be joined by the 800MW third stage some time in 2020. And by 2030 the world’s largest single-site solar park is expected to generate 5,000MW through a mix of solar technologies with total investments in the region of $13.6bn, Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) has said. These plans are aligned with Dubai’s clean energy strategy, which calls for 7% of total power output to come from clean energy by 2020 and 75% by 2050.

Dubai is also the first part of the GCC to adopt a legal framework allowing building owners to install grid connected solar photovoltaic systems on building rooftops.

Under the Shams Dubai initiative, around 18.7 MW of power is currently being generated from 453 grid connected rooftop solar photovoltaic (PV) installations, DEWA said recently, adding that it expects the programme to cover all buildings in the emirate by 2030.

To date, DEWA has certified 352 solar photovoltaic experts and approved 73 companies for Shams Dubai - 64 contractors and 9 consultants. Around 100 manufacturers have registered more than 700 pieces of solar equipment including solar modules, inverters and interface protections. In a bid to promote the programme, the UAE Ministry of Energy has developed the Emirates Solar web application “Shuaa”, which helps owners to evaluate any property in the UAE to determine its potential return on investment for the deployment of solar panels.

Not to be outdone, neighbouring Abu Dhabi is forging ahead with it own plans to build a 1,177MW utility scale solar plant on a single site in Sweihan. As is the case with DEWA’s solar project, Abu Dhabi is partnering with private companies to build its plant under the Independent Power Plant (IPP) ownership model. Abu Dhabi Water and Electricity authority (ADWEA) will hold a 60% stake in the company that owns the plant while a joint venture of Marubeni and Jinko will own the remaining 40%.

SAUDI ARABIA JOINS THE PARTY Saudi Arabia’s belated move to join the solar revolution has given the regional solar industry further impetus. In October a consortium led by Abu Dhabi’s Masdar submitted a world

record bid for the kingdom’s first solar photovoltaic project. This continues a trend that began in 2014 when ACWA Power’s winning bid for Dubai’s 200MW project was $0.0584/kWh, itself a world record for a solar PV project at the time.

Just two years later Masdar’s winning bid for the 800MW third phase of the project was $0.0299/kWh. That was bettered again by a bid of $0.0242/kWh for Abu Dhabi’s Sweihan project in September 2016. And just last month Masdar and EDF bid $0.0179/kWh for Saudi’s first

solar PV project, the first time a bid of under 2 cents/kWh has been recorded.

A final decision on Saudi Arabia’s solar plant in Sakaka is expected in January 2018.

While a 300MW solar plant represents a fairly cautious start for the solar industry in Saudi Arabia, the kingdom has big ambitions moving forward. The country’s National Renewable Energy Programme calls for 9,500MW of wind and solar projects to be operational by 2030, with investments in the sector tipped to top $50bn.

EVENT The UAE Ministry of Energy is an official patron of The Big 5 Solar which is co-located alongside The Big 5 for the first time. The event showcases solar technologies from local and international exhibitors, as well as offering an education agenda geared towards industry development.

The third edition of the Global Solar Leader’s Summit (GSLS) will take place today under the patronage of the UAE Ministry of energy. The summit will be opened by the Ministry’s Undersecretary, His Excellency Dr. Matar Al Neyadi. Other key speakers include Dr. Rashid Aleem, chairman of the Sharjah Electricity and Water Authority (SEWA), and H.E Dr. Nasser Saidi, chairman of the Regional Clean Energy Business Council.

AVOID THE PAYMENT PITFALL Construction disputes are on the rise in the region. Peter Anagnostou, Senior Legal Consultant, DLA Piper Middle East LLP explains how to make sure you get paid what you’re owed

WHAT ARE THE MAIN CAUSES OF CONSTRUCTION DISPUTES IN THE GCC?

meet its own obligations under the contract. Project time overruns become likely with either slowing or suspension of the work by the contractor or subcontractor and the relationship between the employer and contractor inevitably can become strained, in a region that places a particular importance on such relationships.

The lack of liquidity in the market due to sustained low oil prices has been a root cause of disputes in the region in recent years. These difficult economic circumstances have led to a rise in project deferrals, cancellations and terminations, all likely to result in claims and disputes. Compromised cash flows stemming from the lack of liquidity have also led to payment issues such as delayed and/or nonpayment discussed below. But the most commonly faced risks in the GCC construction sector are more engrained and less impacted by the economic circumstances of the time.

These include: a. Underdeveloped designs at tender stage; b. A failure to properly administer the contracts; c. Deferred payment of variations; d. Unrealistic completion timeframes; e. Funding pressures; and f. Parties failing to understand and/or comply with contractual obligations.

THERE HAS BEEN A RISE IN HIGH-PROFILE DISPUTES IN THE MIDDLE EAST CONSTRUCTION MARKET. HOW CAN THIS BE ADDRESSED? While it is true that there are a number of disputes taking place related to high-profile projects in the Middle East, part of the reason for this is the overwhelming number of high-profile construction projects taking place in region. In order to address disputes in the region generally, efforts have been made to promote the use of arbitration and alternative courts (eg. DIFC) in the region in order to resolve

SPEAKER: SUMMIT: TOPIC: TIME AND DATE: THEATRE:

WHAT CAN CONTRACTORS DO TO PROTECT THEMSELVES FROM NON-PAYMENT? There are a number of actions that contractors can take in order to protect themselves from nonpayment at all stages of the contract.

I will be addressing these during my Talk at The Big 5.

WHO WILL BENEFIT THE MOST

BY ATTENDING YOUR TALK? The issue of non-payment is not unique to the construction industry.

However, it would mainly benefit those involved as contractors at any level in the GCC construction industry.

disputes efficiently. Other efforts have been made at the procurement stage to encourage the use of alternative contractual relationships and a focus on an increasingly efficient procurement process for foreign sector investment through Public Private-Partnerships (PPP) legislation.

WHAT ARE THE CHALLENGES THAT CONTRACTORS FACE IN TERMS OF PAYMENT? In the Middle East, contractors can frequently experience delayed and/ or non-payment by employers in the construction sector, which is said to be a main reason for business failures in the region. Six-month delays in receiving payment have

been described as the ‘norm’, subjecting contractors to financial pressures and compromised cash flows. The problem is exacerbated with multiple causes for delayed payment and claiming payment through litigation can be a lengthy and expensive process.

Employers may also suffer from poor financial management, have unrealistic cash flows or issue excessive change orders and/ or variations that make a project commercially unviable when it is too late for a contractor to back out. As a result, the contractor can face significant financial hardship with a compromised cash flow, leading to further difficulties when the contractor is unable to then

RIDING THE ROLLERCOASTER Ralf Steinhauer, Director at RSP Architects Planners & Engineers, reviews the past decade in architecture and looks ahead to the next ten years

WHAT IS THE MAIN THEME OF YOUR TALK? Learning from the past to be successful in the future. Looking back ten years to understand where we are at right now and try to forecast the next decade for our industry and profession from my point of view.

WHAT ARE THE CURRENT TRENDS IN ARCHITECTURE? The market in 2017 shifted from mega projects into mid-size to smaller projects. The focus is more on design quality and the trends are ultra-modern buildings that are highly sustainable and cost efficient.

INNOVATION, NEW TECHNOLOGY AND SUSTAINABILITY HAVE BECOME MORE COMMONPLACE GLOBALLY. HAVE YOU OBSERVED THIS IN THE REGIONAL CONSTRUCTION SECTOR? Clients are still hesitant to go all out in terms of innovative ideas of construction and materials as the market is so competitive that conventional methods still dominate the industry.

Sustainability is a big driver as more buildings will be used by the developer and therefore life span, life cycle cost and operational cost play a big role in the design stage already. The rising cost of water and electricity also play a role in the shift in perception.

WHAT ARE THE BIGGEST CHALLENGES THE SECTOR HAS FACED IN THE PAST DECADE? SPEAKER: SUMMIT: TOPIC: TIME AND DATE: THEATRE:

Volatility in the market has been a big challenge. The whole industry, from consultants to contractors, has to work super-efficiently and extremely fast to absorb the falling fees since the global financial downturn at the end of 2008.

WHAT WILL BE THE MAIN ARCHITECTURAL TRENDS IN THE NEXT DECADE? The top trends will be the rise of new technologies in terms of modulation, pre-fabrication and of course 3D printing. The UAE is very keen on taking a leading role in the region and will succeed with ambitious goals for the construction industry for the next decade and beyond. Overall the quality of architecture will increase as more and more high calibre architects come to the region and also the talent pool of locally educated designers is growing by the year.

BREAKING THE MOULD Penopol Hall: Hall 7 Stand No.: 7E295

All the way from Russia is a wide range of injection ceiling mouldings from Penopol under their Glanzepol brand, as well as ceiling rosettes and wall pilasters under the Kenopol brand.

The brand offers a wide variety of polystyrene decorative products in accordance with regional preferences of their customers.

The company provides more than 130 designs of ceiling mouldings, rosettes and wall pilasters.

A distinctive feature of Glanzepol interior décor is its high density: 60-70 g/litre compared to average market density, at 2030 g/litre. As a result Glanzepol

mouldings keep their shape during transportation and installation and do not shrivel, crack or shrink during usage. Mouldings are easily paintable and do not require a primer. When being cut, joints remain smooth keeping the décor neat and seamless. Special corner elements simplify the process of installation.

Another unique production line is the innovative in-mould skinning technology which enables the production of perfectly smooth surfaces, visually similar to gypsum and polyurethane.

Moreover, lightweight polystyrene significantly simplifies the process of Glanzepol décor installation compared to gypsum and polyurethane rivals while the prices are up to 10 times lower

maintaining the same quality and look.All these products are certified by Russian standards, are non-toxic, odor-free, do not release harmful substances like xylene, styrene, toluene, formaldehyde even at high temperatures (40°C). Quality management system conforms

to ISO 9001:2015 standards. The company offers both classical and exclusive designs, some are unique to the market and are under patent protection. A wide range of styles and sizes meets the demand of various customers in different regions. www.glanzepol.com

Consumers and companies alike in the United Arab Emirates very much appreciate the quality of Italy’s production and the flexibility of Italian SMEs, which are highly-specialised and competitive on the international marketplace.

Building and construction is indeed one of the sectors in which Italy can offer high quality products and services as well business solutions that can very well match the demand of the local industry. That is the reason why it has always shown the most prominent presence at The Big 5 with hundreds of world-class companies.”

KNOCKS Craig Plumb, Head of Research, MENA at JLL identifies the public infrastructure sectors ripe for private investment

WHAT ARE THE INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE PRIVATE SECTOR IN PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE? With public revenues declining on the back of lower oil prices, governments across the region are seeking to attract further private sector investment, so they can focus public spending on other priority areas. The two largest areas of opportunity are the healthcare and education sectors.

These sectors share a number of common features that make them attractive to private sector investors.

These include: strong demand for additional facilities; current undersupply in many markets; strong government policy support; defensive nature of investment/ less dependent upon underlying economic growth; portfolio diversification benefits; and more stable returns than from other traditional investment classes.

WHAT SORT OF DEMAND GROWTH ARE WE SEEING IN THESE SECTORS? Our analysis shows that more than 1,100 additional schools will be required in five major cities (Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Jeddah, Riyadh and Cairo) by 2020.

Some 350 of these will need to be private sector schools, providing a significant area of new opportunity for real estate stakeholders.

In the healthcare sector, to simply maintain the current provision rate of hospital beds per person would require the creation of 10,500 additional hospital beds in the five major cities across the region over the next five years.

Assuming a typical ratio of 150

SPEAKER: SUMMIT: TOPIC: TIME AND DATE: THEATRE:

beds leads to a requirement for around 70 additional hospitals.

WHAT ARE THE CHALLENGES FACING THESE SECTORS IN THE MENA REGION? The shortage of healthcare staff remains one of the major constraints on the expansion of the healthcare sector in the MENA region. Given the shortage of trained local staff, turnover and salary costs remain high, which could threaten the viability of some operators. Governments across the region have recognised the need to relax current regulatory constraints to free up the operation of labour markets and attract more qualified staff into the healthcare sector.

Future government funding of the healthcare sector is unlikely to be able to keep pace with the growth in demand and there is a general recognition that more funding will be required from the private sector.

In order to capitalise on opportunities in the private education sector, certain key challenges need to be addressed.

Attracting internationally qualified teachers can be considered a costly investment. School operators are faced with the challenge of offering teachers lucrative benefits and tempting salaries that are competitive on a global front.

Availability of land is another challenge as most of the freehold and free zone areas in Dubai are dominated by commercial enterprises. Raising Capital is another issue. For an education facility applying for a loan, the process could prove to be

“WITH PUBLIC REVENUES DECLINING ON THE BACK OF LOWER OIL PRICES, GOVERNMENTS ACROSS THE REGION ARE SEEKING TO ATTRACT FURTHER PRIVATE SECTOR INVESTMENT, SO THEY CAN FOCUS PUBLIC SPENDING ON OTHER PRIORITY AREAS” challenging especially if the developer does not own the land.

KELLER TO DISPLAY ITS MINIMAL WINDOWS VISION Keller AG aims to attract visitors to its stand with a display of frameless sliding windows

Minimal Windows by Keller AG Hall: Sheikh Zayed Hall 1 Stand No.: SS1 E157

The large fixed and sliding windows feature a minimalistic design that creates large, lightflooded living spaces. Only the slender 21 or 26/34 mm leaf profiles are visible on the windows, while a glass proportion of up to 98% guarantees unhindered incidence of light.

The products also come with sliding systems with up to four tracks that can be realised in combination with fixed lights.

Unlimited combinations of sliding and fixed leaf elements are also possible with this product. They come with a first-class energy balance and burglar resistance up to RC 2. High modularity, pivot doors and curved sliding elements are also features of this product.

The design of minimal windows vision makes innovative angular geometries possible with an angle range from 65° to 177° for the open inner and outer corners without corner posts – a unique selling point in the market. The common 90° shaping for large

corner sliding elements is largely expanded.

With minimal windows vision the frameless sliding window impresses with its configuration options and connection variability.

Alongside the right-angled and linear configurations, architects, planners and owners now have polygonal corner sliding constructions at their disposal with both acute and obtuse angles for large, telescopically-opening variants.

According to the individual system configuration, concealed electric drives and locks can be used to increase operating comfort.

This allows the telescopic-opening of wide expanses of window facades. www.kellerag.com

THE FOUNDATION OF SUCCESS ArcelorMittal launches innovative steel sheet pile solutions, including a new rental business ArcelorMittal Hall: Za’abeel 1 Stand No.: Z1B130

F

or over 100 years, ArcelorMittal rolling mills have been producing steel sheet piles to achieve a leadership position in delivering steel foundations solutions on all five continents.

Steel Sheet piles have the advantage that they can be used many times and recycled infinitely thereby helping preserve the environment for future generations. By using higher steel grades reducing the weight of sections with wider, more resistant steel sheet pile solutions, ArcelorMittal has provided optimised and customised support to several projects globally. The company also offers customers innovative solutions such as tailor-made packages that can include design, commercial and technical support.

When constructing quay walls,

dams, underground car parks, tunnels, bridges and trunk roads, many alternate construction methods exist to retain earth or water, whether temporary or permanent. Steel sheet piles are particularly well suited for most of these soil retention & water containment projects because they are designed to hold together without welding or bolting, and they are easy to retrieve after use.

AZ 800 SERIES – WIDEST STEEL SHEET PILE IN THE WORLD Supported by a world class R&D department, ArcelorMittal has been contributing to the successful development and implementation of breakthrough technologies in steel foundations solutions.

Dedicated rolling mills produce the widest range of sheet piles

meeting the highest quality standards at competitive costs.

As the only producer of hot rolled sheet piles wider than 700mm (AZ 750 and AZ 800), ArcelorMittal makes it a priority to pass on the benefits of its research to its customers as wider sheet piles result in faster installation which means increased productivity and reduced costs.

WHY BUY WHEN YOU CAN RENT? To reduce the burden of working capital required in projects, ArcelorMittal has implemented a rental business model for its sheet piles portfolio. This model will allow customers to rent sheet piles for temporary shoring applications to reduce project costs. The added benefit will be the reduction in the environmental footprint as the sheet piles can be reused.

KEY ADVANTAGES ENVISAGED FOR PROJECT OWNERS: • Low working capital investment • Short delivery leadtimes facilitated by strategic stocking locations in GCC • Specialized water tight Larsen Interlocks • Wider, lighter, stronger U sheet pile maximizes job site efficiency.

• Environmentally friendly sustainable option • Engineering support with preliminary design by our in-house Design Engineer • Free Sheet pile design software for retaining walls

YOUR SOLE SOURCE OF HOT WATER SOLE Hall: Za’abeel Hall 6 Stand No.: Z6 D40 SOLE is presenting a prototype of their new compact vacuum solar water heating system, which is due to be put into production at the beginning of next year. The functionality, aesthetics and simple installation of their product is expected to make a mark across multiple markets.

The company produces solar thermal collectors, thermosiphon and compact solar water heaters and undertakes projects for sanitary or process hot water, room heating, pool heating and solar air conditioning.

With 43 years of experience, Greece-based SOLE specialises in big projects. Their engineering department has been able to

undertake the design, supply and execution of solar systems of a wide range for any kind of building.

Some of the most ambitious solar energy projects in Greece are undertaken by the company, while their major global projects

include the UAE’s Burj Khalifa and Hamdan Sports Complex, Kuala Lumpur Airport in Malaysia, TESCO Supermarket Solar Air Conditioning in Hungary and CLUB MED Hotel in Tunisia among others.

SOLE was the first Greek company

to be involved in the renewable energy sources sector, since its foundation in 1974. Until today, it still maintains its leadership in the European solar water heater market exporting 70% of its production all over the world. www.eurostar-solar.com

PUTTING A FOOT FORWARD American metal roof manufacturers S-5! is introducing the new SolarFoot for exposed fastener metal roofing for visitors at the show.

This is a simple, cost-effective pedestal for L-Foot attachment of railmounted solar PV. The unique design is compatible with all rail producer L-Foot components.

The concept of combining photovoltaic arrays with standing seam metal roofing is growing—and for good reasons. A standing seam metal roof has a life expectancy consistent with that of framed PV modules.

A 30-year power source on a 40-year roof, along with zeropenetration technology, creates the most sustainable roof system available with alternative power generation, all without compromising the roof manufacturer’s warranty.

The new SolarFoot assembly ensures a durable weather-tight solution for the life of the roof. It

provides an ideal mounting platform to attach the L-Foot of a rail-mounted PV system to the roof.

Special factory applied butyl co-polymeric sealant contained in a reservoir is ‘The Right Way’, allowing a water-tested seal. Stainless integrated stud and hex flange locknut secure the L-Foot into position.

A low centre of gravity reduces the moment arm commonly associated with L-Foot attachments. Direct attachment of the SolarFoot to the structural member or deck provides unparalleled holding strength.

The stainless-steel mounting disk is designed to ensure conductivity with anodised aluminum module frames.

The product is listed to the new UL Subject 2703, a standard that covers both bonding and mounting.

It features 12 nodes designed to ensure module-to-module conductivity. The installation is easy - simply anchor the module with the S-5-PV Direct Attachment Solutions

S-5! THE RIGHT WAY! Hall: Za’abeel Hall 6 Stand No.: Z6 B27

(according to the installation instructions) and it automatically provides a ground path within the module frames and through the S-5PV Direct Attachment Solutions.

No lugs/wire required, except to connect one string of modules to another and to ground the system.

In most cases, this connection

detail represents cost savings and is sufficient to pay for the entire S-5-PV Direct Attachment Solutions and clamp setup.

The stainless-steel mounting disk is able to withstand severe conditions and is compatible with the S-5-B Mini for copper roofs www.s-5.com
