Tebodin heats up Rotterdam

Underground pipeline

The heat, in the shape of pressurizedwater of up to 120°C, is obtained from

the AVR waste incineration plant inRozenburg. It will be transported

through an underground pipeline with

an overall length of 16.8 km via themunicipalities of Vlaardingen, Schiedamand Rotterdam to the Heat TransferStation in Rotterdam. The work startedin September 2013, and the installationof the feed and return pipelines is in fullswing.

The system needs pipes with an outerdiameter of 900 mm, taking upconsiderable space in the subsurface.The top of the pipes is buried at leastone meter underground. The urbancharacter of the pipeline route presents

the great challenge. Crossings include alarge waterway and many different

Important preparation

After the preliminary route study byTebodin, the project was still a long wayfrom full acceptance by every

governmental authority and all otherstakeholders. The final alignment wascarefully worked out together inextensive consultations. Tebodin alsocoordinated all required research byexternal parties, including thegeotechnical investigations and thestudies on soil and groundwater, thepossible presence of explosives, and

the impact on other cable and pipingnetworks.

Tebodin prepared the specifications for36.5 km of pipeline and for the

construction plan. Other importantpreparations included the Health &Safety plan and a comprehensive RiskAssessment and Evaluation. On manylocations, microtunneling and horizontaldirectional drilling (HDD) techniques areused to limit the inconvenience theworks may cause.

Assessing the future of CHP plants

Deltalinqs, the association of the portand industrial companies in MainportRotterdam, aims to strengthen theirinternational competitiveness andsustainable development. The problemis that coal is cheaper than gas, and islikely to remain so for the foreseeablefuture. The resulting low electricityprices, make the gas-fired industrialCHP installations within the HIC difficult

to operate profitably.

Increase in CO2 emissions

Several owners and operators are therefore considering a shutdown of these plants. They would then continue

by producing steam with boilers andbuying electricity from the national grid.However, the associated increase inCO2 emissions will have a negativeinfluence on the agreed objectives in

the Rotterdam Climate Initiative.Tebodin was commissioned byDeltalinqs to research the future ofcogeneration installations in the HIC.

‘Tebodin started with an inventory of thecurrent installations, and was able toproduce an accurate picture afterdiscussing the ‘critical installations’

with the plant managers andresponsible operational staff. Thisinformation was the foundation for

several scenarios with regard to theconsequences of the shutdown ofseveral CHP plants,’ says Mr. Izak Boot,Tebodin’s energy consultant. The visionof the owners plays a crucial part in thefinal decisions. For example, striving forautonomy may make the economicreturn less relevant. In addition to this,

there may be issues of far-reaching

process integration and deliverycontracts with third parties.

Practical opportunities

Tebodin calculated the increase inprimary energy use and CO2 emissionsfor several shutdown scenarios,providing Deltalinqs with insight into theextent of the problem within HIC.Tebodin also advised on severalpractical opportunities to limit primaryenergy use, both with processmeasures and sustainable alternatives,and thus meet the goals of theRotterdam Climate Initiative.

Offshoring made easy for pharma wholesaler Orifarm

The Denmark-based Orifarm Groupsells parallel imported and genericdrugs in Scandinavia and Germany. Atits facilities, the imported drugs are

tested and repackaged with labellingin the relevant language. To remaincompetitive, the company mustconstantly monitor its cost levels, andin 2008 it decided to explore thepossibility of opening facilities in acountry with a better cost competitiveposition, including a good qualitylabour force equivalent to westernGood Manufacturing Practices-

standards.

Cautious approach

Orifarm, in business since 1994, is nota company to rush into an offshoring

adventure. It adopted a cautiousstrategy with very smart first stepsand one of them was finding a localengineering partner. Preferably onewith plenty of experience and thebacking of a multinationalorganization.

Tebodin’s Czech office won the race.According to Orifarm´s ProjectManager Mr. Tomas Placatka,‘Tebodin stands out on account of itsprofessional approach, offering´turnkey service´ solutions. It has

in-house experts in the full range ofdisciplines.I like the high-level commitment andsparring capabilities of Tebodin staff,and the 100% follow-up they provideon all issues.’ The original project for

which Tebodin was contracted was toprovide Engineering, Procurement andConstruction management (EPCm) for anew greenfield facility in Velké Prítocno.

40 years in the Middle East

This year, Tebodin Middle Eastcelebrates its 40th anniversary. The firstactivities in this region started in 1974 inAbu Dhabi, with water projects for theWater and Electricity Department.Tebodin still strong in this segment,and, of course, the booming Oil & Gasmarket. Today, Tebodin Middle Eastoperates throughout the region with1,800 employees in offices in Abu Dhabi,Dubai (1981), Bahrain (1997), Oman(2002), Qatar (2003) and the Kingdom ofSaudi Arabia (2012).

From its early days, Mr. De Vries was on the scene. Now retired, he remains

enthusiastic about his more than threedecades in the region: ‘Life and work inAbu Dhabi are inspiring; it offers somany opportunities.’

From maverick to pillar

Mr. De Vries, originally an aerospaceengineer, joined Tebodin in 1974. AbuDhabi was Tebodin’s first office outside

the Netherlands. ‘Our office wasconsidered a bit of a maverick, whilenow it is a pillar of the international

network. When I first started, thecountry was young and undeveloped,only recently independent. There waslittle infrastructure - we had frequentpower failures - but oil income started

to flow, so we did project after project.’

From water to oil and gas

Through economic and politicalchanges in the region, the work movedfrom water supply projects to oil and

‘SO THERE I WAS, ON MY WAY TO A CLIENT ON THE FOURTEENTH FLOOR, WITHOUT AWORKING ELEVATOR, OR AIR CONDITIONING, OR A MOBILE PHONE, OF COURSE,’ TELLSMR. AGE DE VRIES, REMEMBERING HIS EARLY DAYS IN ABU DHABI, AROUND 1978: ‘I DECIDEDTO CLIMB THE STAIRS, IN 40 DEGREES CELSIUS, AND ARRIVED COMPLETELY SOAKED. THECLIENT, SEEING WHAT WE WOULD GO THROUGH FOR THEN, GAVE US THE JOB.’

gas and industrial projects. To namea few big ones: ‘We worked on themasterplan for water supply in theNorthern Emirates, in 1984. I was theman on the ground, interviewinglocals with very little English. In1994, we did a watershed pipelineproject for ADNOC, the state oilcompany - an important step in ourdevelopment. In 1997, we started along association with AluminiumBahrain, providing projectmanagement and maintenance. Andbefore I left, the focus shifted torenewable energy.’

Through time, Tebodin remained a

stable factor in the local engineeringcommunity. Many internationalcompetitors were taken over orchanged name or structure, butTebodin always stayed the same,stable, image of strength andgrowth.

Change of course to rental waters

On consideration, however, Orifarmdecided to put the project on hold andstart with a small test facility, for whichit rented space in an existing industrialbuilding. When the time was right toupscale, Orifarm rented a biggerbuilding in Hostivice near Prague,starting operations in 2012. Since thenall its repackaging activities have beenrelocated to Hostivice.

Over the years Tebodin has beenproviding numerous consultancy andengineering works to Orifarm. ‘As a true

partner, we take care of their needs, be they big or small. Work for Orifarm is anongoing thing, involving anything from one

to several of our employees at a time.When they need something, we almostalways find an in-house expert that cansolve the task,’ says Tebodin’s ProjectManager Mrs. Lucie Švermová, ‘and in themeantime, we are keeping the permits for

the Velké Prítocno facilities updated.’

Bogdanka project back on track

Lubelski Wegiel ‘Bogdanka’ S.A. is oneof Poland’s leading producers of hardcoal (anthracite). This high-gradeenergetic coal is used mainly for thegeneration of electric and thermalenergy, as well as for cementproduction. Its key customers areindustrial companies, most of allpower industry players situated in eastand northeast Poland.

The company has set itself the target to double its production by 2015(compared to the 2011 level). Toachieve this, it has already initiatedsignificant infrastructure investments,

including the expansion of themechanical coal processing plant to acapacity of up to 2,400 tonnes per hour.

Building in an active plant

This is an extremely challengingundertaking: the new assets, neededfor complicated technologicalprocesses related to coal enrichment,have to be constructed in an active

plant amidst working machines andworking people. And the deadline for

the project is in September 2014.

Because of the complexity of theproject, at some points, operationswere running increasingly behindschedule. To get a grip on the situation,management of the company, decided

to appoint an external projectsupervisor.

Tightening up procedures

Tebodin’s Polish office sent a four-strong team headed by Mr. Mieczysław

Jendza. Their tasks were to take stockof the state of the construction work,represent the client in meetings with

the general contractor andsubcontractors, verify scheduleassumptions, report deviations andrisks and advise on how to continuerealizing the investment.

Mr. Jendza discusses the progressachieved since Tebodin’s involvement.

WHEN ITS INVESTMENT PROJECT THREATENED TO OVERRUN ITSSCHEDULE, POLISH COAL MINING COMPANY LUBELSKI WEGIELBOGDANKA DECIDED TO HIRE TEBODIN AS PROJECT SUPERVISOR.

‘By tightening up construction siteprocedures and getting everyone tocooperate, we have succeeded ingetting the project back on track, withcompletion expected in September of

Two EU research projects

Since 2010, Tebodin has been a professional partner in two EU research

projects. The INDUSE project is aimed at improving international designstandards for above ground piping and equipment under earthquake conditions,while the GIPIPE project investigates what happens to buried pipelines inearthquakes and other large ground-induced actions, such as landslides.The knowledge gained in these research projects is already being applied in

the Netherlands, where gas production induced earthquakes pose a potential threat, but is likely to benefit seismic and landslide areas all over the world.The results were presented at international symposia in Corfu, Greece and, thisspring, at Delft University of Technology, the Netherlands.

Janssen Biologics: ice-cold delivery

Janssen Biologics, a subsidiary ofJohnson & Johnson, producesinnovative drugs for the treatment ofcardiovascular and immunologicaldiseases and of cancer. The productionprocess involves pre-formulatedpharmaceutical bulk products which arevery expensive – and very sensitive tospoilage. Even a relatively brief hiccupin the production line could lead to endproducts that were unfit for use, leading

to significant costs for the company.

Minus 40 degrees

Tebodin proposed a solution to keep the

bulk products in perfect condition andreadily available: a freezer complexadjacent to the production line. Theconcept was based on 17-footcontainers, providing plenty of storageroom, with a minus 40 degrees Celsiusblast freezer to ensure that products arefrozen very quickly, which minimizes therisk of damage to their structure. Specialdesigns in electrical and controlsystems were required to securereliability and redundancy for storage of

these high-value products.

Fast realization

Kicking off in August 2013 with a firstfeasibility study for this new facility,

Tebodin went on to develop engineeringand design and continued with asuccessful fast-track project realizationperforming EPCm services. Theconstruction started in March 2014 andwas completed in June.

Working for Tebodin on this project areengineers Mr. Peter Adrichem, Mr. Rene

Duineveld and Mr. Jaap Meijvogel. ‘It takes good planning and excellentcooperation to realize a project of thisscale in such a short time,’ says Mr.Adrichem. ‘But our relationship withJanssen Biologics goes back a long

time, to when the company still bore thename Centocor. We know the client’s

Cocoa is a high-value crop grown predominantly by smallholder farmers.

Consumption of cocoa continues to grow at about 3% or 60,000-90,000 mega

tonnes per year. Projections show that global production is lagging behind the

increasing demand, indicating a clear need for expanded production,

especially of higher quality cocoa.This has impact on investment projects throughout the value chain, from

cocoa bean processing, manufacturing of chocolate and chocolate-based

products (confectionery).

Tebodin has built up significant expertise over the last decade to make

production facilities ranging from storage facilities, cocoa bean processing

plants, chocolate factories and plants for the production of chocolate drinks

and confectionery in various countries around the world.

Services include consultancy (site selection studies, due diligence surveys,

environmental studies and permitting) as well as full design and engineering,

procurement and project and construction management.

Since Tebodin has more than 50 offices in 25 countries, it has strong local

work forces fully aware of local rules, norms and standards making the

realization of projects swiftly, safely and efficiently.

Furthermore, the fact that we are deeply rooted in the agro industry and food

sector and are fully au fait with the rules of the game when it comes to issues

like hygienic design, means that we are able to transfer your investment plansinto a commercial reality.

New logistic terminal for theLDPE4 production line

SLOVNAFT, producer of motor fuels,fuel oils and petrochemical products,sees a big market opportunity in thegrowing demand for LDPE. The biggestpetrochemical company of Slovakiaalready produces this thermoplastic

that is made from oil and used for themanufacturing of, for example, plasticbags, trays, containers, packagingmaterial and six pack rings. But nowSLOVNAFT wants to increase its

annual LDPE production capacity to220,000 tons. This investment willresult in a cost-effective and a moreeco-friendly way of production.

Demanding requirements

To meet its goals, SLOVNAFT isbuilding a new production line of LDPEand a logistic terminal in Bratislava,Slovakia. The construction of the newproduction line of LDPE and thelogistic terminal already startedmid-2013; the estimated completion isscheduled for 2015.

TALKE was awarded by SLOVNAFT tobuild the new logistic terminal for the

new LDPE4 unit. This German companyprovides logistic solutions for thechemical and petrochemicalindustries. Since TALKE has noengineering office in Slovakia, thecompany commissioned part of theengineering and project managementscope to Tebodin. ‘We did severalsuccessful projects with Tebodin inother countries’ says Mr. FaissalBoujadayni, project manager of TALKE.‘They supported us during the

tendering phase with SLOVNAFT andhelped us to prepare the permitdocumentation, IPPC, detail

engineering, procurement of both civiland electrical installations.’ According

to him, TALKE and Tebodin arepreparing more projects in differentcountries.

Understand client’s needs

For the logistic terminal Tebodinmanages all design, procurement andconstruction work for the civil part of

the project. The EPCm contract consistsof building permit documentation, IPPC,detail engineering, procurement of bothcivil and electrical installations, aHAZOP study and constructionmanagement of the civil part. ‘To meetSLOVNAFT’s demanding requirements,we have to use their standards andknow-how. We rely on our networkexpertise and in some cases we

cooperate with Bilfinger IndustrialServices in Slovakia’, says Tebodin’sproject manager Mr. Marian Kusy.

The logistic terminal will have threemain buildings. First, a building with

silos for the storage of LDPE granulates.This will contain a bagging area and anarea for the loading of cistern trucks.Then, there is a storage warehouse of10,000m² with a palletizing area forbagged products. The third building willcontain offices and it will be connected

to the warehouse.
