THE EXPANSION OF Jordan’s Aqaba port is on schedule for the end ofthis year. Located on the northern shores of the Gulf of Aqaba, AqabaContainer Terminal (ACT) is Jordan’s only container port. Most of thetransit cargo handled by ACT is destined for Iraq. In 2011, ACT startedprocessing cargo for the Saudi market for the first time, and is workingto expand the export volumes it handles from the north of SaudiArabia. The company said it has organised a number of initiatives toattract new business to Aqaba. The initiatives form part of ACT’sstrategy to secure what it describes as ‘aggressive commercialexpansion’ within the region. Elsewhere in this issue, Saudi Arabia’srenewable energy potential comes under the spotlight. Although theKingdom’s energy mix is almost wholly dominated by fossil fuels,there is clear potential for attracting investments in clean energy.Staying in Saudi Arabia, we also look at the reasons behind heavyinvestment in the Kingdom’s railway network. And The Big 5 SaudiArabia is imminent too, so potential investors have plenty of options.

LEBANON NEEDS TO rethink its economic model after decadesof setbacks that have affected its socio-economic stability, anInternational Labour Organization (ILO) official said recently.On the occasion of the publication of a major ILO-United NationsDevelopment Program report, senior regional policy specialistMary Kawar told The Daily Star that Lebanon’s labour marketneeded to be restructured.‘Rethinking Economic Growth: Towards Productive and InclusiveArab Societies,’ examines the two decades leading up to theArab uprisings, and calls on governments to take bolder stepsand create more egalitarian systems.In Lebanon, Kawar said, the inequality of the education systemremains a major issue for labour supply.“Governmental spending on public education is 1.8 per cent ofGDP. This is less than half what other Arab countries spend oneducation,” she said, adding that disparities in the quality ofthe public system and private education remain extremely highin the country.In terms of labour demand, the Lebanese economy is smallrelative to domestic demand, as evidenced by the highmigration rates, the expert added.“The structure of the economy is locked in low productivity, lowvalue-added jobs and low wages. Services today account for 70per cent of employment,” Kawar said.Most service sector jobs require low skills and do not provideyoung people with decent jobs, she added. The report showsjob dissatisfaction in Lebanon is among the highest in MENAat 75 per cent.Another major problem is the number of unprotected workersemployed by the large informal economy. These people arefound not only in underground businesses but also in formal

enterprises, Kawar said.While Lebanon’s unemployed are mostly well-educated, thisdoes not mean low-skilled people have a better chance ofgetting a job.“These people cannot afford to stay unemployed and as suchtake up any available job,” Kawar said. “In addition, the unregulated labour market in terms of havingmigrant workers keeps wages down for this group of people.”While migration is a traditional feature of the Lebaneseeconomy, where remittances play a crucial role, migrants inLebanon are vulnerable to labour rights abuses, Kawar added.“There is a need to regulate migrant workers first [to improvetheir] human rights and second as a means to create better jobsfor the Lebanese,” she said.

Lebanon’s economic model failing - ILO

SAUDI ARABIA MAY opt to cut domestic investment and keep current spending high in the next threeyears to avert any political turmoil despite an expected decline in its oil export earnings, accordingto a key bank in the Kingdom.

A steady growth in the country’s oil revenue over the past decade is projected to be reversed bylower crude prices in the coming three years and this could prompt the world’s dominant oil exporterto curb spiraling public expenditure, the Saudi American Bank Group (SAMBA) said in a study on theKingdom’s 2013 budget.

It noted that actual spending in 2012 grew by 3.2 per cent compared with a whopping 26 per centin 2011. SAMBA said it believes the main increase in spending in 2012 was on the current side,including the extension of unemployment benefit to Saudis, adding that project spending was flat in

nominal terms and declined in real terms.“We think this pattern will persist for the

next three years. Our oil price and productionassumptions suggest that oil revenue willdecline each year in 2013-2015. This is a fairlymajor departure from the past decade, whichsaw revenues grow by an annual average of25 per cent,” the study said.

It said the Saudi government might chooseto keep spending high and run deficits, whichcould be financed from existing savings, whichexceeded US$700 bn at the end of 2012because of a sharp rise in oil revenue.

“Certainly, with political considerations tothe fore, the authorities are unlikely to cutoutlays on public sector salaries orsubsidies,” it said.

AAS GULF COUNTRIES undergo massive industrialisation,as part of plans to diversify their economies away fromreliance on hydrocarbons, the need for implementingenergy-efficient technologies across a wide range of

sectors is growing. Populations and economies in the region are set to grow, fuel

and electricity consumption, which is already high, is set toincrease. This, coupled with the expansion of energy-intensiveindustries such as petrochemicals, steel, and aluminum, willlead to increasing costs for governments given energy is highlysubsidised.

“While it is important to invest in renewable energy, fossil fuelswill continue to be the backbone of regional economies for yearsto come and it is crucial to implement solutions that will helpconserve those valuable resources,” Bernhard Niessing, CEO ofSiemens Industry, Middle East, said. “There’s considerable roomfor improvement in the region by making existing industries moreefficient or adopting technologies that facilitate resource savingin new developments.”

Siemens Industry’s portfolio covers automation solutions,drive and metals technologies, as well as industrial software andintegrated services. The company says its strength lies inproviding technologies that can cover a complete industrialprocess, from product design to planning, productionengineering and execution, to services.

“We provide a broad range of technologies and solutions alongthe entire lifecycle of products in the region and we make sure tocustomize those offerings depending on customers’ needs,"added Niessing. “Siemens’ technologies enable industries toaugment productivity, save energy and resources, produceefficiently and cut costs.”

One such technology is the Product Lifecycle Managementsoftware, which reduces the time it takes for products to reachthe market by up to 50 per cent, while saving resources andenergy costs, Niessing explained. In industrial plants, usingintegrated drive systems helps reduce energy consumption byabout 70 per cent. The company can also help increaseefficiency of industrial plants by using production information.

Almost 30 per cent of energy consumption globally comesfrom industry, while electric motors and drives consume up to70 per cent of all energy used in industrial plants. Industries caneasily conserve resources by switching to energy-efficient

motors, which Siemens supplies, noted Niessing. "Energy-efficient motors not only protect the environment, but

also offer significantly lower operating costs,” said Niessing. “Atthe moment, there are no laws in the region stipulating thatindustries must implement high-efficiency IE2 class motors. Wehope this will change in the future.”

Many companies are reluctant to upgrade their motors due tothe apparent cost associated with the switch, however, “theadditional costs of drives and motors with improved energyefficiency often pay off in six to 24 months,” said Niessing. “Wesee an increasing interest in energy-efficient motors from theregion, as they become more and more significant.”

Industrial BoomDiversification efforts by regional governments are plenty, withmanufacturing industries emerging in several countries andincluding plastics, petrochemicals, and aluminum smelting. Inthe UAE, the government is developing Khalifa Industrial ZoneAbu Dhabi (Kizad), which home to the world’s biggest aluminiumsmelter. Kizad is expected to contribute around 15 per cent of AbuDhabi’s non-oil GDP by 2030.

With such massive developments in the region, many revolvingaround hydrocarbon-based and energy-intensive industries,Siemens sees huge opportunities for providing its technologiesand knowledge to regional players. In 2012 alone, the companyhelped customers reduce their CO2 emissions by 332mn tonneesthrough technologies within its Environmental Portfolio. This is aclear indication that the biggest lever for advancing sustainabledevelopment is optimising energy efficiency.

“The challenge is to bring down the amount of energy neededto power many of those large emerging industries in the region.This will have a positive impact for the near and long-termfuture,” noted Niessing. ■

TTHE CREATION OF the SaudiElectricity Company (SEC) hasplayed a crucial role in theconsolidation of a previously

highly fragmented power sector. Whilebeing partly private, SEC also benefitsfrom a monopoly in transmission anddistribution and a quasi-monopoly ingeneration.

In the Kingdom oil represents around60 per cent of energy sources andnatural gas making up the rest but thepotential to attract investments inrenewable energy exists.

The country hosts several major IPPsand IWPPs, delivered under long-termPPS that are proven to be bankable andhave already attracted billions of dollarsof domestic and internationalinvestment. There is no doubt thatprevious transactions, albeit limited toconventional energy, representimportant precedents and lay thefoundation for the deployment of arenewable energy market in the country.

The financing environment is alsoaccommodating, with local banks beingfairly liquid based on an average loans-to-deposit ratio of 80 per cent. Further,the pegging of the Saudi Riyals to USDollars and the low exposure to theEurozone makes Saudi an attractivemarket for international lenders. Thecountry has a wealth of project financeexperience and has hosted severallandmark deals in the energy sector.

Moreover, thanks to the government’sinvestment in the grid over the lastdecade, it is believed that Saudi Arabiacould provide up to 10 per cent of its totalelectricity capacity through renewableenergy, without significant impact onpower quality, according to the PV Group.

Renewable energy resourcesThe strikingly high solar radiation ofaround 2,550kWh/m2/ year (almostdouble the average radiation inGermany) and the availability of largestretches of empty desert that can hostsolar arrays, in addition to the vastdeposits of clear sand that can be usedin the manufacture of silicon PV cells,makes Saudi Arabia an ideal location forboth CSP and PV power generation.While harsh desert conditions, heat anddust can reduce system efficiency, longperiods of intense sunshine should helpcompensate for this.

Unlike many other GCC countries, SaudiArabia has good wind energy potential,with some 4.9 hours of full-load wind perday on average, one of the highest in theMENA region. Two windy regions exist inSaudi Arabia along the Arabian Gulf andthe Red Sea coastal areas.

Policies and plansSaudi has quickly made it onto the list offocus markets for investors andtechnology providers, with thegovernment announcing its ambitiousUS$109bn plan to install 41GW of solarand 9GW of wind capacity by 2032, andis consistent with the Government’sdesire to free up some of its locallyconsumed oil resources in order toincrease exports.

Other strong signals to the marketinclude the King Abdullah City forAtomic and Renewable Energy (KA-Care), the government’s alternativeenergy arm, announcing its plans tolaunch a major renewable energy auction.KA-Care is preparing to invite bids for thefirst phase of its procurement in the firstquarter of 2013. The first round willinclude 1.1GW of solar PV capacity,900MW of CSP, 650MW in wind capacityand 200MW from other sources,including geothermal and waste-to-energy.Developers will be asked to submitproposals for projects >5MW in capacityand will also be responsible for siteselection. All of the projects will bedeveloped to be independent powerprojects with 20-year PPAs, each signedwith an IPP.

While the planned auction couldpotentially revolutionise the shape of thepower sector in the region, the lack ofprevious experience in renewable energydeployment should not be overlooked.

With current installed renewableenergy capacity being almost negligible,Saudi still needs to go a long way inbuilding its track record and credibilityin the sector.

Further, the success of theprocurement program will be largelydetermined by the attractiveness of thetariffs set by the government and therobustness of the procurement process,all of which will need to be assessedonce more clarity on the program isprovided by KA-Care.

OutlookA strong track record in the developmentof power projects bodes well for cleanenergy expansion, especially since theSaudi government has longdemonstrated a substantial commitmentto social and economic infrastructure, aswell as its desire to free up hydrocarbonfuels for export. Previous successes withIPPs, the established bankability ofSaudi PPAs and the relatively liquidfinancing market are all strong evidencefor the country’s potential. ■

HHAMAD AL-YOUSEF, CIVIL & track director of projects,Saudi Railway Company (SAR), spoke at a conferenceabout the ambitious rail projects in the Kingdom andthe current status of the North-South railway project.

The Saudi Railway Organization (SRO) and Saudi RailwayCompany (SAR) are government-owned entities that oversee andmanage the Kingdom’s railway system. SRO supervises theexisting railway system which connects Riyadh with Dammam,while SAR manages the implementation and operation of theNorth-South project.

SAR was established in May 2006 and is fully funded andowned by the Public Investment Fund (PIF), a part of theMinistry of Finance.

Saudi Arabia has fallen behind other countries in the Gulf interms of railway investment and is now looking to catch up and isactively expanding and upgrading its railway network.

“In the region we are behind and we are investing heavily tocatch up,” Al-Yousef explained.

He pointed out that after stopping rail projects in Saudi Arabiain previous years, these are moving ahead now, for both tradeand passengers.

“The trend now is to promote and implement a rail or metrosystem within most GCC countries and eventually all the GCC railnetworks will be linked up,” added Al-Yousef.

These projects include a line connecting the North and South ofthe country, as well as one connecting the eastern side to JubailIndustrial City. As for projects, the North-South railway isconsidered the largest freight rail project that will have strategicimportance for freight exports to the Gulf.

Al-Yousef stated, “The mining industry was the trigger for thelatest focus on the rail industry. In particular the need for freighttransport from the Red Sea to the Gulf has been a factor inreigniting interest in railways.”

The SAR rail network is approximately 3,900 km long and themineral line is the only operational part of the track with 1,400 kmof line is up and running. The mineral line started operation inMay 2011 and is now in the second year of operation.

The operational line runs from the Al Jalamid phosphate minein the north of the country to Ras Al Khair on the Eastern coast ofthe Kingdom. More than two million tonnes of phosphate hasbeen transported to Ras Al Khair.

Al-Yousef pointed out that SAR has spent US$4.4bn so far onthe North-South line.

Another big focus is rail projects related to the Hajj, accordingto Hamad, but these projects were more focused on metrosystems. Mecca is looking to introduce a metro system to dealwith the high inflows of pilgrims each year.

The Saudi Land Bridge project, a 950km line connecting SaudiArabia’s Red Sea and Gulf coasts, will enter the design stage thatwill take 12 to 14 months before the construction tenders arefloated, according to Al-Yousef

"Within a year's time, we hope we will have announcements ofpackages, pre-qualification and so on," he said. The work is likelyto be broken up into a number of packages.

The tender for the third phase of the new rail project in SaudiArabia's Eastern Province will be floated in either the second orthird quarter of 2013, according to Al-Yousef

The package is one of three being awarded to link Jubailindustrial city to Saudi Arabia's developing new rail network.

The first linking Jubail to Ras Al Khair where a massive newprocessing facility is under way for Saudi Arabian mining giantMa'aden has already been awarded and the project started onsite during the third quarter of 2012.

The second phase linking the industrial cities of Jubail andDammam are currently out to tender, but Al-Yousef said thatthose not already in the running were unlikely to win work fromthe project.

The internal rail network for Jubail will link various points withinthe city, including its industrial and commercial ports.

"For the Jubail internal network, we are under the detaileddesign and we are estimating that we will hopefully float thetender in the middle of the year or the third quarter," Al-Yousefcommented.

He said that civil work should be awarded to local companiesbut that SAR still needed the technical know-how and technologyto build the vast new rail networks. ■

CCOST-CUTTING' HAS BECOME abuzzword among corporates inthe Middle East today. Securityprograms are not immune to

these cost-cutting decisions and in manyinstances are among the first to beconsidered when making budget cuts.

The scare tactics of emphasising thefear, uncertainty, and doubt (FUD) ofsecurity risks are no longer seen asrational grounds for procuring securityfunding and this task is made even moredifficult by the general mindset. Securityis seen akin to insurance- no one wants topay for it but everyone is glad to have itwhen something does occur.

What this then leads to is an industrywide mentality wherein the ‘reactive’approach to IT security is seen as theaccepted norm.

Since IT security or rather the lack of itdoes not provide a tangible, immediatethreat to most organizations, it takessomething of a worst case scenario totransform it from a secondaryconsideration to a burning issue. By thenof course, the damage has already beendone with effects including damage toreputation, loss of productivity andcountless hours wasted on recovery andrestoration of systems.

CatastrophicAnd while it takes such large scale attacksto raise enough eyebrows to the issue, thereal challenge that CIOs and IT decisionmakers face is not dealing with suchcatastrophic events, but rather providing asafe and stable environment which allowsemployees to go about their day-to-dayschedules without interruption.

Stephan Berner, Managing director athelp AG points out that today many CIOsare experiencing a rapidly changingenvironment where business isdemanding more from security -consumerisation of IT is usurping controland new architectures are required toaddress issues of shrinking perimeter,virtualisation and web 2.0 technologies.

In light of this, now more than ever,organisations need to beef up theirsecurity measures and the first step indoing so will inevitably involve building awatertight case for IT security spending.Such an argument should justify theexpenditure by focusing on the benefitsrather than simply portraying a worst casescenario.

Security proposals must be based onthe financial and real world impact to thecompany so that the bottom-line

implications of implementing theproposal can be fairly assessed againstother priorities.

Productivity‘Cost-savings’ is the term that resonatesbest in board rooms today. Cost-savingsfrom reduced risk can be categorized intosavings that arise from reducing the costof responding to and resolving incidents;and savings in the form of averted lossesof business productivity. Any securitybreach entails an underlying cost as the ITdepartment resolves the issue, restoresthe environment and conducts apostmortem of the attack.

Along with this, there is the productivityloss that is associated with the breach. Asthe IT department goes about post-attackprocedures, employees and customersare forced to deal with downtime.

This obstruction to business can meansignificant monetary losses for anorganisation. Consider for example theaverage Distributed-Denial-of-Service

(DDoS) attack. Research has shown thatthe victim organization can stand to loseanywhere between US$10,000 toUS$50,000 an hour depending on thenature of the business. And these figuresdo not even account for the subsequentloss of business due to the tarnishedbrand image.

ImportanceNew security technologies can helpreduce the possibility of attack andfurthermore, if an attack does occur,reduce the effort required to get systemsback online. By reducing the risk of attack,such an investment will help limit thepotential for business productivity losses.

Never underestimate the importance ofhighlighting soft benefits when making ahard business case for a particular ITproject. After all, a solid return oninvestment often extends beyond tangibleperks such as a reduction incommunication costs and direct costavoidance. A competitive edge, increasedcustomer satisfaction, improved sellingeffectiveness, bolstered employee morale– they are all soft benefits capable ofdelivering top-notch value.

Currently, security is primarily seen asan overhead rather than a contributingfactor to the revenue of the company.Going beyond the basics, the role ofsecurity can be seen in a different light.

Companies can leverage their securitysolutions to conduct business in adifferent and often, more productivemanner.

Add valueA virtual private network (VPN) enableshome working. Installing a PCI-DSScompliant security infrastructure allowsthe business to accept credit cardpayments. Enterprise mobility securitymanagement solutions enable employeesto access corporate data from personaldevices in a safe and secure mannerincreasing both employee satisfactionand utilization.

The savvy CIO can go a step furtherand create a case for how deployment ofnew age security solutions can actuallyadd value by and give the organisationan edge in its marketing campaign. Thisis especially true for organisationswherein information security isparamount as is the case with financialinstitutions.

Here, the organisations dedication tothe highest level of information securitycan be worked into the corporatemarketing campaign thereby instillingcustomer confidence.

The main purpose of any new ITprocurement is always to drive businessand profitability. Like all expenditures,security investments require fact-basedjustification to gain traction in theboardroom.

By highlighting the numerousadvantages of increased securityspending, CIOs transform the perceptionof security from that of an operationsoverhead to a key business enabler. ■

TTHE MAIN REQUIREMENT ofarchitectural glass is that it allowsnatural light efficiently into abuilding, while acting as a robust

cladding material at the same time. Strength, transmittance, reflectance

and accurate colour rendering ensurethose qualities. However modern high-performance material can perform severalother functions at the same time. Forexample, it can provide a (substantial)measure of solar control, a vital qualityhere in the Middle East where sheet glassin suitable enclosures is a vitalcomponent of nearly all building service(incorporating air condition) systems.

SelectiveIt can enhance the security and fire safetyof the building, deterring intruders(including unwanted elements of theweather) and providing protection for aspecified amount of time, too.

By selective shading and control ofdirect solar energy transmittance,reflectance and absorptance today’s high-spec glass can provide a major thermalinsulation function, effectively keepingout unwanted solar insolation. If suitablycoated it can now keep itself clean, too.And of course it comprises a key feature ofthe aesthetic design of the buildingstructure itself – high-performance glassnow provides most of the ‘wow’ factor atsteel-framed structures, both large andsmall, throughout the Gulf, especially

when it is combined with imaginativelighting and viewed at night.

And modern high-performancelaminated safety glass such asOptiphonTM from Pilkington (NipponSheet Glass group) can provide a highlevel of insulation from outdoor sources ofnoise, such as heavy road traffic, andnearby indoor sources, e.g. the low-,medium- or high-frequency hum fromindustrial processing lines or thepermanent bass throb from a generator.

Incursive noiseWhen designing any glass component orcomplete installation (‘unit’) for thecontrol of sound it is important to informthe architect or other specifier preciselywhat the origin of the noise is.

Typical sources plaguing buildingoccupants in the Gulf today includeurban road traffic, especially where it ismoving at high speed or at traffic controlpoints, gas turbine-powered aircraft orindustrial installations, and the irregularincursion of sound from a noisydomestic neighbour.

Some tenants also complain about theincursive noise of children playing – andof course the evening emanations fromentertainment and other adult socialfacilities are a legendary cause ofcomplaint all over the world.

Suitable materialAll these sounds should be measured andanalysed as spectrums or sound profilesby an audio specialist before ever thearchitect starts to put hand to mouse. Asuitable material can then be specified,along with the enclosure in which theglass panel is to be carried.

Key considerations when specifying asuitable material are the mass of thematerial itself, in other words not just itsdensity and thickness (and thereforeweight), but also its crystalline structure;the amount of space between panes in atwo or three-fold sandwich structure(universal these days); and how thatspace is filled (is it a vacuum or a purpose-designed gas?

As well as positioning the level of noise-reducing performance of the resultingpanel will depend on all of these factors,resulting in the formulation of a sound-reduction index.

A level of impact- and fire safety-protection – also index defined - is usuallyprovided by the designer at the samestage, leading up to a completespecification which is provided to both thesupplier and the client. In the case of a

Ghassan Mashal of Emirates Float Glass receives the Environmental Performance Card from HE Dr Rashid AhmedMohammed Bin Fahad, UAE Minister for Environment and Water

EMIRATES FLOAT GLASS (EFG), one of the UAE's largest, integratedfloat glass facilities, a subsidiary of Dubai Investments (DI) PJSC,has received a prestigious Environmental Performance Card fromthe UAE Ministry of Environment and Water in recognition of itsenvironmentally safe production practices.

The commendation was presented to Ghassan Mashal, generalmanager at Emirates Float Glass, by His Excellency Dr RashidAhmed Mohammed Bin Fahad, UAE’s Minister for Environmentand Water, at an official awards ceremony. The EnvironmentalPerformance Card is an initiative designed to support theMinistry’s motto ‘Towards a Green Production 2021’.

The EFG facility, which launched a unique Carbon ManagementProgramme early in 2012, was assessed by technical specialistsfrom the government department. Covering all aspects of thecompany’s manufacturing unit, the evaluation particularlyassessed the use of chemicals, disposal of industrial waste and airpollution levels, against the environmental requirementsprescribed under Federal Law 24 (1999).

EFG has achieved a carbon footprint level of 553 grams of carbondioxide emission per kilogram of glass, which is among the bestglobal ratings. Float glass produced by EFG contains between 59and 67 per cent regional raw material, which is in line withinternational sustainability requirements. Additionally, EFG uses6.20 per cent post-consumer recycled material for production.

The company’s facility, which is equipped with machineryimported from Europe, the US and Japan, achieves 100 per centcapacity utilisation, the highest benchmark for efficiency levelsworldwide. The hi-tech manufacturing unit currently holds aproduction capacity of 600 tons of clear molten glass per day andmore than 190,000 tonnes of glass products per year.

CCESI MIDDLE EAST has had a strong first year of operationin the Middle East, according to Schulze, and this wasdespite the ongoing economic crisis. Saudi Arabia hasproved to be CESI Middle East's most successful market

so far and the company has several projects up and running in theKingdom that has given the company strong reference projects ina short time period.

"Saudi is our top target market and is extremely important,"noted Schulze.

A real focus for C CESI this year will be to set up a permanentpresence in Saudi Arabia and the company is looking at settingup offices around the GCC region.

The company is working on two high profile projects in Saudi,with the most technical project being the High-voltage, directcurrent (HVDC) connection between Riyadh and Mecca, which isthe first one in the Middle East and is a huge MW connectionbetween the two cities.

Schulze stated that HVDC will be the key for future energygrowth in the region and will be the main way of connecting thegrids without too much of energy loss.

It will be challenging as it needs to be a tailor-made approachto the region and not just a copy and paste job on everything thathas being built with HDVC in South America or Europe.That is why CESI argue that HDVC in the Middle is different withthe towers and lines, all needing to be designed from scratch.

"For a Pan-Arab policy to work you need the infrastructure inplace and interconnections will play an important role inconnecting different countries, especially long distanceconnection to Europe, Asia and Afica," said Schulze.

The second project CESI is involved in is smart grids and smartmetering strategy, which is important from the view of all thestakeholders in the Kingdom, according to Schulze.

"This is a unique project for the region. This type of job oftengoes wrong due to absence of overall strategy and not involvingall relevant stakeholders in the early stages that need to alignwith the strategy and gain acceptance by the stakeholders. In thecase of KSA, it is a nationwide approach which involves allstakeholders. In these types of strategy projects independency isof the utmost importance.”

He added, “Projects run by manufacturers often suffer becausethey are mainly thinking about selling their own equipment, which isoften the largest and most lucrative part of a smart meter roll out.”

Initiated by a reputable regulatory body like ECRA, The Kingdomhas started the development and implementation strategy forsmart grids and smart metering the right way.

CESI is half way through the project and they have already heldthe first workshop, towards the end of 2012, which was attendedby 150-200 people who represented all kinds of importantstakeholders like the Utilities, regulator, universities, researchand development, manufacturers, consumers, Industries, ICTand Telecom like Saudi Aramco, SEC, National Gird, KACARE andmanufactures.

"This shows the commitment of the Kingdom to make sure thatthe different developments on smart grids and smart metering arealigned as much as possible by involving the stakeholders duringworkshops and site visits." remarked Schulze.

“The follow up to the workshop has been very positive andmany of the stakeholders have been inviting us to look at theirsites. We are getting more inside information and we have foundthat the stakeholders are really proactive.”

He feels that Saudi Arabia is the only country in the regiontaking this nationwide approach. Saudi is far ahead of its

neighbors in terms of a nationwide approach towards smartmetering and the Kingdom is really looking to combinetechnologies into a common approach.

Energy growthFor the power sector to grow in the region, infrastructure in terms ofgrid connections and maintenance will play a key role. Schulzeexplained that asset maintenance and spare part management ispart of the solution to meet the growing energy demand. This arisesbecause there are lots of generation plants in the region running ona fraction of their capacity due to a lack of spare parts and absenceof an adequate asset & maintenance management organisation.

"This is a real opportunity for utilities to think about astructured approach towards asset and maintenance. This will allbenefit the end consumer in terms of power availability and alsoon health and safety aspects," he argued.

Arab fund projectThe other project is related to the pan-Arab feasibility study forthe Arab Fund, which will determine the best electric energy andnatural gas trade scenario to create a single energy market for 20Arab countries.

“We have finished our first studies on the current state of thegas infrastructure in the MENA region and we are currentlybuilding up the trade models,” he explained.

Schulze feels that in principle the GCC region could become aglobal powerhouse by 2050 as it has all the right ingredients tobecome the dominant player. The GCC has the space, the investmentand willingness to push through new innovative technology.

He warned though, "that it is a long way off yet and there aremany hurdles to overcome but the potential is there."

Solar pushRenewable energy will also play an important and CESI is focusedon producing high performing Solar cells.

Solar energy will become interesting for utilities as they candecide what to do with their natural resources as they could usesolar for their own energy and they can then export the gas andoil.

Schulze wants to explore opportunity with developments likeMasdar City, KA-CARE and King Abdullah City for Science andTechnology. By 2014, he would really like the first solarprojects on the ground.

"In the future, we believe solar will be very important,especially here in the Middle East," Schulze concluded. ■

THE CHALLENGES OF electrification ofmany new and existing distributionnetworks are at the cusp of the

evolution of the Smart Grid. Utilitiescharged with improving networkperformance whilst meeting many otherobligations are facing cost reductions andperformance expectations. In this contextperformance and cost are the samevariable. Performance is “quality ofservice” and is also the cost indelivering that service. Networkautomation techniques willbecome an integral part of futurenetwork designs in achieving thisbalance, and are already alignedwith many Smart Grid initiatives.

Two common measures ofperformance are SAIFI (systemaverage interruption frequencyindex) and SAIDA (system averageinterruption duration index). Byimproving on SAIFI, i.e. reducingthe frequency of customerinterruptions, the utility is reducingthe risk of a fault occurring. This isachieved with f eeder protection, betterasset management and condition basedmaintenance. However, once a powersystem fault or disturbance has occurredon the network, Utilities need to reducethe consequences of that power systemevent. The consequences of that event areachieved through effective isolation of thenetwork in order to return as manycustomers back to normal as possible. Thiscan be achieved through manualswitching, but is also accomplished usingremote control and automation techniques.

In order to improve on SAIFI, or to reducethe number of customers affected by apower system incident there are variousmodifications that can be introduced on thenetwork such as the installation of fuses orcircuit breakers at MV/LV transformers.However, installation of mid-section points,or splitting feeders and introducing newnormally open points (NOP), in combinationwith automation techniques will helpreduce the duration of unplanned outagesand improve the SAIDI figures.

Network performance is dependent on

design and topology of the network, aswell as the operations and maintenance.There has always been a focus on physicalinfrastructure failures, such as equipmentoverloading, poor condition due toinadequate maintenance etc. However, to

help manage these networks in a moreproactive and smart manner requires moreinformation on the status of the network.

Most utilities need to strike a balancebetween running a reliable network andmanaging their costs This decision needsto be based on reliable information but asnetworks have evolved it has becomeapparent, among many utilities that thereis insufficient monitoring andmeasurements to effectively make thatdecision. In order to help utilities improvethe quality and reliability of their networks,the automation offering from LucySwitchgear can be deployed incrementallyin a staged approach. A process ofmonitoring and making incremental

investments allowing cost savings inplanning and in the implementation ofnetworks can be realised whilst stillproviding an efficient solution.

Modular remote terminal units (RTUs)can be installed on switching points andconfigured to transmit fault passage

indicator (FPI) information to theUtility’s control centre in order toallow fault location to be achievedquicker than physically investigatingeach FPI manually. The next step,following an understanding of thedynamics of the network, is aprocess of introducing remotecontrol at selected switching points.This process can also be achievedwith existing and new installationsof ring main units (RMUs).

Lucy Switchgear provide a non-intrusive design to retrofitautomation and control to acommon range of RMUs, as well adelivering RMU’s are ‘automationready’. This means that thenecessary wiring looms for control ofthe ring switches will be pre-installed when delivered to site. Themodular RTU will monitor the statusof the RMU, and measure the linecurrents and voltages and providethe necessary fault location

information when required. However,with the addition of a retrofit actuator andcontrol module for the RTU, remote controlof the ring switch is achieved with only asmall incremental investment. This meansthat utilities learn about their networks,and selectively introduce control points onthe most appropriate parts of the networkallowing them to move the NOP to themost appropriate part of the network. Theincremental approach described is a majoradvantage in areas where monitoring isrequired at majority of sites but thelocation of the switching sites is unknown.

We are at the cusp of the evolution of theSmart Grid. The automation solutions fromLucy Switchgear support this and afford theflexibility for future upgrades providing costsavings in planning and implementation onpower distribution networks. ■

DUBAI CABLE COMPANY (Ducab) is goingfrom strength to strength and with a raftof project wins under its belt the UAE-based company is now producing newcopper products for specialist sectorsthat will help the company become moreresilient, Colin McKay general managersales and marketing at Ducab toldTechnical Review.McKay explained that Ducab was lookingto differentiate itself and it waslaunching new higher performancecables for different sectors that will helpit diversify the sectors and geographies itproduces cables for. “What we want in five years’ time is to bea bit more resilient so we can deal beterwith a regional recession than we didthis time around,” he noted.Ducab has introduced a new range of TuffDuFlex wires and cables, which meansthe firm is the only BASEC approvedcable and wire manufacturer to offerwires operating in stringent conditionsranging from -40 degrees celsius to 105degrees celsius. An area that Ducab is really pushing isfire protective products and the firm nowhas new products, its FlamBICC fire

resistant cables for residential andindustrial use."Fire protective cables are growing inimportance, especially with the numberof fire incidents that took place in theUAE and Qatar last year. We see far moresensitivity to inferior and poor qualitycables than before," pointed out McKay.

This is why there is a greater interest incertification and Ducab has beenconsulting firms that whenever they putin new cables they should have themcertified and verified.Ducab is working on a new initiative withDEWA and Dubai’s Civil Defence tolaunch a roadshow and educate people inthe UAE about the need to specify theright cable. This will be rolled out in thenext two months.Ducab is spreading the range of cables itproduces into new markets and Mckaysees the renewable market as a realopportunity."We see renewable energy as a growtharea and we are looking to roll out this toNorth Africa as well," added McKay.The firm now has some reference pointsand last year they worked on asuccessful project for the Shams 2 solarproject in Abu Dhabi, where theysupplied the Spanish contractor workingon the plant it with all of the cables thatmoved the mirrors at the solar CSP plant.The company will also be working on theDewa solar PV Park which First Solar hasbeen contracted to work on and they willsupply the low voltage cables for it.

YAMUNA CABLE HAS one won itsbiggest single order in SaudiArabia in a deal with SaudiElectricity Company (SEC).

The two-year contract with SECcould eventually lead to YamunaDensons setting up amanufacturing line in the region inorder to serve their growingcustomer base more efficiently.

"Saudi Arabia and the Gulfregion has always been one of ourmajor markets and a real targetarea for us," noted Ravi Sardana,managing director of YamunaDensons.

Yamuna Densons has worked with SEC in thepast but this new deal is its biggest win so far. Thedeal covers the whole Kingdom through SEC’scentralised purchase and distribution system.

Sardana added that the deal with SEC puts thecompany in a better negotiation position with theirraw material suppliers and machinerymanufacturers as the requirements in the Gulfregion for better quality products is rising steadily.

The company's local Saudi partner, KANOO,played a key role in helping facilitate the deal.

Sardana remarked, "We do not see SEC’s growth

in the next five years slowing down and we are verybullish about the Saudi market.”

The sheer size of the business in Saudi Arabiaand the volumes involved means prices remainhighly competitive, which is why this deal with SECwill help Yamuna Densons keep up with itscompetitors. The firm will be focusing more andmore on the automation of its assembly process,which will help increase its production capacity.

Yamuna Densons is an Indian basedmanufacturer and supplier of power cable jointingaccessories.

LLOCATED ON THE northern shores ofthe Gulf of Aqaba, Aqaba ContainerTerminal (ACT) is Jordan’s onlycontainer port. Last year saw

container throughput at the facility rise tomore than 817,434 TEUs, a 15.8 per centincrease on 2011, and representing autilisation rate of over 96 per cent. In amove to keep pace with market growth, amajor expansion is underway to increasethe terminal’s operational capacity.

On completion of the project at the end of2013, annual container throughput capacityis expected to increase to 1.5 million TEUsfrom the current 850,000 TEUs.

ExpansionA key element of the project is theextension of the existing 540-metre berthlength to 1,000 metres which will allow ACTto accommodate three large shipssimultaneously rather than just one atpresent.

The draft alongside the extended berthwill range from 15.5 metres up to 33metres, allowing some of the largestvessels to dock without restrictions. ACT isalso developing associated containeryards and adding new equipment in linewith the expansion.

“We will have the first 200-metre section

of the berth extension up and running bythe end of February,” ACT’s CEO SorenHansen said. “We are also expanding ourinventory further by adding two STS cranesand four RTGs to our existing equipment.”

The addition of the two new ship-to-shore (STS) cranes will take the number ofSTS cranes at the facility to seven. Plansare also underway to add 16 more truckheads and 16 trailers.

The expansion is on track for completionby the end of 2013, Hansen said. ACTconfirmed the cost of what it refers to as‘the phase two 2009-2013 expansion’, isstill on budget at an estimated US$235million.

“The project when fully completed andequipped will not only bolster ACT’sannual container throughput capacity to aprojected 1.5 million TEUs, but will helpreinforce Jordan’s strategic position as akey portal to the Levant and Iraqimarkets,” Hansen said.

Container throughput at ACT has beengrowing annually over the past decade ormore, reaching 817,434 TEUs in 2012.

In-transit cargo handled at the terminalincreased by 63 per cent in 2011 to over100,000 TEUs and the figure for 2012 isexpected to have shown a further increase.

InvestmentReefer growth at the ACT facility increased15 per cent in the first six months of 2012over the same period in 2011. Inanticipation of this and future reefergrowth, the company has invested inincreasing its reefer capacity by expandingreefer plugs from 700 to 930.

ACT, which is a joint venture betweenAqaba Development Corporation (ADC)and APM Terminals (part of the Danish APMoller-Maersk Group) operating under a

25-year build-operate-transfer agreementsigned in 2006, said it is handlingincreasing volumes of Iraqi-bound cargo.

It considers the Iraqi market a vital pillarin the terminal’s operations and is activelyseeking to build ties with the Iraqibusiness community in order to promoteAqaba as the preferred gateway for goodsin and out of Iraq.

Most of the transit cargo handled by ACTis destined for Iraq. In 2011, ACT startedprocessing cargo for the Saudi market forthe first time, and is working to expand theexport volumes it handles from the northof Saudi Arabia.

The company said it has organised anumber of initiatives to attract newbusiness to Aqaba. The initiatives formpart of ACT’s strategy to secure what itdescribes as “aggressive commercialexpansion” within the region.

LinkHansen emphasised the advantagesprovided to shippers using Aqaba.

“ACT is seen by most of the traders and

sustainable element in their supply chain.According to ACT, goods arriving in

Aqaba port can reach Iraq, via truck, within48 hours. Jordan’s plans to build a 550-kmrail link from the ACT terminal to the Iraqiborder town of Trebil which would provideconnections to a proposed line in

TTHE 2013 SHOW, held at the DubaiInternational Convention andExhibition Centre, was a majorsuccess and saw a big increase in

visitor and exhibitor numbers thatreflected the growing optimism within theregion's power and energy markets.According to the show organisers, thefirst day of the show saw a 28 per centyear-on-year rise in traffic numbers,which Anita Mathews, director of InformaEnergy Group, described as a"phenomenal increase."

Solar Middle East was co-located withMEE and was created in response to thegrowing number of MEE exhibitors alsoinvolved with solar technologies.

"Solar has always been part of MEE, but

we thought it best to have a dedicatedplatform for the solar and PV sector,"Mathews said.

The new show enjoyed a very good startin terms of exhibitor uptake, with close to100 international solar companies decidingto exhibit at the new solar platform.

Eventful showMEE 2013 had two conferences runningthroughout the three days of the show.

The opening day saw the launch of thefirst Solar Middle East Conference thatwas well attended.

The second day of the show sawanother first-time event launched withthe Green Energy Middle East Conference,held in partnership with DubaiMunicipality, taking place. The one-dayconference outlined the new 2013 greenbuilding codes, which are intended tohelp Dubai reduce it carbon emissions.

The MEE awards, running for thesecond year, were a major highlight ofthis year's events and the ceremony wasattended by more than 1,000 people whowatched the best in the region's power,lighting, renewable, and nuclear sectorcelebrated.

Mathews remarked," The Middle EastElectricity Awards are an excellentreference to pay tribute to theoutstanding achievements of individuals,departments, teams and organisationsthat have contributed to the growth anddevelopment of the energy industryacross the region."

Launch padNew deals and contracts were signedduring the show, including Scania whochoose MEE to launch the Swedish-basedcompany's first ever turn-key generatorsets.

Robert Sobocki, senior vice presidentfranchise and factory sales Scaniaengines said: “For the first time we arelaunching complete Scania gensets thatwill be sold via our distributors. We feelthere is a market need for a completegenset and we feel there is a huge needfor genset prime power here in theMiddle East."

Staunch Machinery launched a newhybrid energy light tower at the show,which the Lebanese company said wouldbe able to cut fuel consumption by up to80 per cent. Another Lebanese company,Mets Energy unveiled its new generatorat MEE 2013. The new Ranger genet is along-running and low-maintenance unit.

MEE was also host to many countrypavilions, with a large number ofTuriskish companies taking part withTurrkish Electro Technology (TET), theIstanbul Electrical Electronics Machineryand ICT Exporters' Association.

"This is a very important event forTurkish companies. The UAE has hugepotential and so has the region, werealise this potential and that's why wehave decided to participate at a nationallevel here," Faith Kemal Ebiclioglu, TETchairman argued.

MEE plays an important role in theregion’s energy sector and this can beseen by the comments of many of thecompanies exhibiting at the show.

Daniel Boberg, business developmentmanager of industrial power systems atVolvo Penta explained that Middle EastElectricity was a really important show for

the company and that it is vital that thecompany shows it has a strong presencein the Middle East.

"We are here to support our OEM’s andshow we are close to the market," henoted.

Carl Sellick, global sales andmarketing director at Switchgear praisedthe show and said, "MEE provides uswith great visibility and we have reallygrown our brand through MEE. It hasbeen very helpful to be able to meetvisitors from all around the region andworld at one show."

Bright futureMEE 2014 will focus on building oncurrent sectors and intends to be biggerand better than this year's edition. Nextyear’s show will take place on 11 - 13February 2014 at the Dubai InternationalExhibition Centre.

Mathews said, “MEE has for the pastfew years averaged five to 10 per centgrowth in spite of the economicslowdown and the show has continuedgrowing rapidly, which officials hope is atrend which will continue in 2014 andbeyond.” ■

TROJAN BATTERY CO., which claims to be the world’s leadingmanufacturer or deep-cycle batteries, has received the ApplicationSolar Project of the Year award at the Middle East Electricity 2013tradeshow held in the UAE recently. Trojan’s renewable energy group and Trojan’s master distributorHydroturf International were recognized for the implementation of asolar-powered rural street lighting project in 2012 which wascommissioned by the country’s Ministry of Public Works. This solarlighting project is the first of its kind to be established in Dubai.“The success of this project is a step forward in the adoption ofreliable solar lighting technology as a viable alternative toconventional grid-connected lighting technology for both rural andmainstream roadways,” said Romina Arcamone Garcia, TrojanBattery’s international business development manager forrenewable energy. “Trojan focuses its research and development efforts purely ondeep-cycle battery technology for use in some of the harshestclimates. This project highlights yet another example of Trojanbatteries being successfully deployed in renewable energyapplications in the field.”In support of the UAE government’s directives for the

implementation of projects that meet principles of sustainability,Trojan and Hydroturf worked with Incon Infrastructure Contractingto install 404 solar street lights along an 11 kilometer stretch ofrural road in the area of Wadi Sidr. The solar light poles each featuretwo Trojan 8D VRLA batteries which serve as the energy storagedevices to power the streets lights after dusk. This project also adds a unique IT component to the conventionalsolar lighting solution that enables the street lights to be remotelymonitored via a cell phone by technical personnel from anywhere inUAE. The software enables users to remotely switch the lights on oroff when needed, or reduce the working hours of one or all of thelight poles.“The Dubai solar lighting project will not only reduce carbonemissions in the region by eliminating the need for high-tensionwires connected to the grid, but will also save money through theuse of long-life LED lights and improve public safety by illuminatingrural roads for drivers,” said Mohamed Hashique, regional salesmanager for Hydroturf. “Overall, the solar lighting project for theWadi Sidr area offers a multitude of benefits to both the localcommunity as well as the government in achieving its objectives forsustainable energy solutions.”

ELECTRICAL WIRING SPECIALISTS Levitonhas been at the forefront of the lightingindustry for many years and has beenutilising its vast experience to help planfor the next generation of smart lightingcontrols.

The 106-year-old, family-ownedcompany only made its full entrance intothe international lighting and energysolutions market in the past decade,despite its long-term dominance withinthe domestic US market.

"We can't be parochial to the USmarket anymore because the demandsof our products are now global, but ourUS-designed products do not alwaysapply in a global applications,particularly if we are talking about USproducts being UL listed, while the restof the market uses CE-marked products"says Sherbo.

In order to overcome these barriers inthe Middle East, Leviton boughtQuantran Systems Limited in 2011. Well-established in the Middle East,Quantran has been involved in a number

of large projects in the region, and as aLondon-based firm has provided Levitonwith a useful way of branching intomarkets dominated by CE-markedproducts.

"The Middle East is one of the fewmarkets in the world that will entertainboth CE and UL, and I think that's totheir benefit," says Sherbo. "In thismarket, we have the option, but inrecent years we've made a strong effortto be able to sell products worldwideand we're still adding to that portfolio.

"It's exciting for us, because eventhough Leviton has only beenoperational here for six years, Quantranhas been here 30 years and we havebeen able to utilise that experience."

Leading positionSherbo says the firm has been pleasedwith the progress it has made in theMiddle East market to date, while itsleading position within its global sectorhas enabled it to take advantage of whathe describes as the "greening ofmarkets around the world".

Sherbo says that Leviton has founditself indirectly involved in the creationof green building rating systems acrossthe Middle East such as Abu Dhabi'sEstidama.

"We've been involved from the pointthat we hold seminars to help theauthorities increase their knowledgebase and to help them make decisionson the standards they want to adhereto," Sherbo explains.

"In most countries, energyconservation starts with legislation, butwhat we have seen happening in theMiddle East is that energy rich countriesdo not want to be seen as pariahspopping out CO² by the tonne.

"Power infrastructure is alsoexpensive to build, so we sawmotivation from that factor, and in theUAE and other markets across the regionyou now have green building councilrepresentation. Green building models

have been around for long enough thatyou can now see the proof in thepudding. The savings are real andowners here are interested in a return ontheir investments."

Sherbo says that Leviton has beenpresenting energy managementsolutions and ideas to the relevantauthorities in the Middle East that gobeyond simple occupancy and motionssensors that switch lights on and offdepending on whether a room isoccupied or not.

SophisticatedSherbo stresses the success of daylightharvesting systems that couple ambientlight with artificial light to maintain aconstant level of brightness.

"We are now going beyond turninglights on and off and we are becoming alittle more sophisticated by turningbuildings into day/night buildings," heremarks.

"Over time, however, we havediscovered that the trends is toincorporate more of the human factorinto the energy management of abuilding. If you make the human part ofthe process, then it's amazing what youcan do."

Sherbo points to the example Levitonemployed at a college dormitory in theUSA.

"We put sub-metering systems oneach floor of the dormitory, we told thestudents about it and we even offeredprizes to those who could reduce theirconsumption the most; and guess what,they unplugged their phone chargerswhen their phones were charged, ratherthan leaving them in, and they switchedoff the coffee pot once they've finishedthe last cup of coffee.

"If you have the human incorporatedinto the whole process you can changebehaviour, and behaviour can be as biga part of energy consumption asanything else. Instead of just designinga building and predicting energyconsumption it becomes an ongoingprocess, and ongoing measurement andverification can lead to a strategy thatwill evolve with the building as thebuilding ages."

As Sherbo concludes, "This is aboutmore than simply selling products; whodoesn't want to live in a cleanerenvironment and who doesn't want tolive in a place that's not cleaner than itwas yesterday?"

Paul F. Sherbo, director of international businessdevelopment for lighting and energy solutions at Leviton,speaks to Technical Review about the US-based electricalwiring company's forward-thinking approach towards theevolution of lighting controls as well as its operations inthe Middle East

BBUOYANT LOCAL CONSUMPTION and below-averageproduction costs for DRI/Direct Reduced Iron-process steel products are propping up both the Gulfand world markets, say Frost & Sullivan in their latest

six-monthly ‘MENA Steel Market’ report*.Iran remains far ahead as the largest individual national

producer, followed by Egypt and Saudi Arabia, but currentlythere are more than 60 steel plants of all types operating inGCC countries alone, the consultants’ Metals & MineralsPractice noted mid-year.

Many positive developments have taken place over the lastfour or so years in response to high demand from theconstruction, infrastructure and energy industries, risinginternational prices for oil and gas impacting on supplies fromelsewhere, and successful attempts to diversify most localnational economies. The boom in middle-income housingalong the southern Gulf shores is particularly commented on.Production here now covers most long products such asreinforcing bars, flats, special shapes, angles and castings –vital components for all steel- and reinforced concrete-framedbuildings above two storeys high.

“The demand for steel is rising at 5-6 per cent annually[higher than global production, which was projected at 3.5 percent in 2010], courtesy of the growth of various downstreamindustries like metal furniture, construction, spare parts,heating and cooling machines, car frames [bodywork] etc.”

Nevertheless at a mere 27.4 million tonnes (just 1.93 percent of the global total) MENA crude steel output in 2010lagged far behind most other fast-growing regions. Productionin all-Asia, for example, reached 903.2mn t. Meanwhile inboth Europe and North America output could be at bestdescribed as “stable”.

Strong demandThe really good news commented on is that around 40 percent of total Middle Eastern steel demand is now met by basicsuppliers from within the region, while the rest comes mainlyfrom near-local sources such as Turkey, North Africa andindividual CIS states such as the Ukraine. The demand forfinished ‘longs’, coming mostly from the construction sector,forms nearly half of total imports now being generated byMENA countries.

The business consultants’ M&M Practice team note withmany others that world steel prices have gone up sharplywithin the last couple of years, an increase that has beenunderpinned by very strong demand from the Gulf, especiallyfor rebars. Both DRI production and freight costs have beenbuoyant. As a result, “Companies in the UAE and Saudi Arabiaare bringing in the largest increase in primary steel-makingcapacity while Bahrain and Oman are increasingly focusing oniron pellet production for exports”.

iron and steel in the next five to 10 years”. Just as well, aswith per capita consumption of around 1300kg of productseach in 2010 both Qatar and the UAE were already amongstthe most ‘steel intensive’ countries anywhere in the world.

However the resulting upcoming new capacities in theregion are not expected to lower international pricessignificantly, although fluctuating crude oil and weakening ofother raw material prices could have this effect as globaleconomic growth continues to be slow.

Leverage“Producers in MENA region enjoy a comparative advantage insteel production due to low energy costs (edge of aroundUS$4/KWh over global average) giving them leverage towithstand any downturn in the steel industry.”

This timely report concludes by pointing out that investmentin all forms of steel producing and fabricating have so far hada “guaranteed return” in domestic terms, with good prospectson the export market too. Undoubtedly the escalating freightmarket has played a role in this.

Steel demand across MENA is expected to rebound by 5.7per cent this year following the downturn seen in 2011occasioned by turmoil in several states. For 2013 furtherdemand growth of eight points-plus is expected.

“The regional steel finished product demand is estimated toreach around 85mn tonnes by 2013 with crude steelproduction projected at over 50mn MT.

“This massive positive demand-supply gap (which isexpected to be wider gradually in the next five to 10 years)signifies immense future business opportunities in the steelsector, prevailing in MENA.” ■

KONECRANES, A LEADING provider of liftingequipment and services for a wide range ofindustries, said it has launched the world’sfirst hybrid reach stacker - the SMV 4531TB5 HLT - for container handling, with alifting capacity of 45T.The SMV 4531 TB5 HLT features a hybriddiesel/electric driveline, an electrifiedhydraulic lifting system, and a supercapacitor-based energy storage, said theNorway-based company in a statement.This innovative lift truck will cut fuelconsumption and emissions while offering

improved performance in terms ofacceleration and lifting response to drivercommands, said a senior official.“Propulsion and lifting are powered bydedicated electric motors that can alloperate in regenerative mode. The energygenerated from braking and load loweringis recovered and stored for later re-use,"explained Anders Nilsson, the technicaldirector, Konecranes Lift Trucks."This means a reduction in diesel fuelconsumption and environmental impact.Meanwhile, productivity is increased in

terms of quicker response and higheracceleration," he added.The new hybrid reach stacker, he said, willoffer customers substantial cost andenvironmental benefits."Estimated fuel consumption will be around10 liters/hour during normal handling offully loaded containers, significantly lessthan with conventional reach stackers. Thisis achieved by electrifying all flows ofenergy across the driveline, the hydrauliclifting system and the energy storagesystem," pointed out Nilsson.

BBILLED AS THE largest trade fair for the building industryanywhere in the world, bauma 2013 will be open inMunich (southern Germany) from 15-21 April (09.30-18.30 most days). More than 3,300 individual exhibitors

are confidently expected at this edition.bauma is universally recognised as the key focus for

international construction equipment and buildingmaterials/techniques businesses of all sizes, and an essentialvenue for gathering information about specifications, prices andsupply arrangements – as well as establishing contacts with stateofficials and business peers from all corners.

‘Where building and construction experts from all over theworld can inform themselves about state-of-the-art technology’is how the organisers Messe Munchen International (MMI) putit. MMI also run complementary events in China, India and othercountries, and are locally represented in most Gulf capitals.

The product range on show both indoor and out is alwayssimply vast; put simply it divides into equipment and materialsfor use on construction sites of all sizes and types; producersand purchasers of building materials from the most basicblocks and cements to high-tech polymer chemicals; andcomponent and service suppliers. As usual, every year since2004 there has been a special emphasis on equipment of alltypes associated with global mining, extraction and processingof raw materials.

This section alone featured more than 600 exhibitors from 31

different countries in 2010, and this year another dedicatedbauma Forum on the subject (for many years a speciality ofGerman engineering) is being organised at the new trade fair site.

Said MMI of the previous edition: “There is no doubt that themining sector at bauma benefited from the massively globalcharacter of bauma itself – and enjoyed being part of the strongdemand worldwide in the construction and mining industries.”

Target groups of international visitors expected this yearinclude manufacturers, suppliers and service providers fromthe construction and building materials industries everywhere,and purchasing decision-makers of all types. Representation ofbuyers from both the Gulf and North Africa is always high atthis event, and this year the highlighted featured country willbe Indonesia. ■

THE 30th INTERNATIONAL Trade Fair forConstruction Machinery, Building MaterialMachines, Mining Machines, ConstructionVehicles & Construction Equipment is athree-yearly event. Organised by MMI inassociation with the appropriate groupwithin VDMA (German Association ofMachinery Manufacturers) and theCommittee for European ConstructionEquipment, this is a must-attend event forall managers and officials associated withpurchasing equipment for the constructionand mining industries. ‘Must attend’ forboth suppliers and buyers, that is. No

manufacturer with internationalaspirations can ever afford to miss a singlebauma event.

Said the president of major Germanequipment builder BOMAG of the previousedition held in 2010: “For us, bauma is themost important international constructionmachinery trade fair. Despite the difficulties[most European air space was closed for thekey period of the event due to volcanicactivity in that year] we are satisfied with theshow. The quality of business conversationswas very good, the stand was wellfrequented and we have been able to

conclude good deals and prepare for moreinteresting projects and contacts.”

Added the CEO of Besser Co (USA):“bauma has again lived up to itsreputation … the 2010 trade fair providedan excellent venue to showcase ourconcrete products production systems toprofessionals from around the world.”

TTHE USE OF nitrogen gas duringproduction processing isbecoming much more prevalentin industries across the Middle

East as operators become more familiarwith its applications.

As an inert gas, nitrogen will displaceoxygen from a product or process andcan be used to prevent oxidation, stopbacteriological growth and reduce therisk of combustion and explosion.

This can help with eliminating productspoilage in food and beverageapplications, ensuring safety standardsare maintained in pharmaceuticalproduction and minimisingcontamination in chemical processing,to name a few.

Typically, operators will purchase thenitrogen they require from a supplier,either as gas in small high-pressurecylinders or in liquid form, stored either

in mini-tanks or in bulk storagevessels. In the Middle East

alone, this supply marketis estimated at US$250mnand, with up to 97 per centof global nitrogen supplyfulfilled by traditional gascompanies, it clear thatthere is growing demand.

However, obtaining andmaintaining a readysupply of nitrogen is notwithout its drawbacks. Aswell as finding a reliablevendor and arrangingdeliveries and payment,companies requiresufficient space to storethe gas alongside athorough procedure tomonitor and manage thesupply safely.

This is where theinstallation of an on-site

nitrogen generationsystem, such as

Gardner Denver’snew CN generators,can pay dividends,providing operatorswith on-demandsupply and complete

control over the volume and flow of thegas required.

Moreover, the system can reducesupply costs by as much as 90 per centwith payback in less than two years for acompany using liquid nitrogen or aslittle as one year where gas cylinders arebeing used.

Gardner Denver’s new CompAirnitrogen generation system convertscompressed air in to guaranteed-puritynitrogen. Pre-treated air from a standardindustrial compressor is ‘sieved’ usingcarbon molecular technology to removeall oxygen and other trace gases,leaving the nitrogen to pass through tothe application.

The space-saving, modular design iseasy-to-install, meaning there are noexpensive civil engineering worksrequired and can be integrated withexisting compressor installations tominimise capital expenditure.

Gas purity is another importantconsideration, as each applicationdemands different quality levelsdepending on whether the gas comesinto direct contact with a food orpharmaceutical product or indirectly toform packaging or for generalblanketing.

The CompAir generators offer aflexible range of purity levels from fiveper cent to 5 ppm remaining oxygencontent and feature an integral oxygenanalyser for continuous puritymonitoring.

Flow rate can also be matchedaccurately to the applicationrequirements, so that the requiredamount of nitrogen is being generated,helping to improve efficiency while alsoensuring that sufficient gas is alwaysavailable, maximising productionuptime.

Keith Atkinson, productmanager - downstreamequipment for compressormanufacturer, GardnerDenver, discusses thebenefits of investing in anon-site nitrogen generationsystem and demonstrateshow the company’s latestproduct offer can saveoperators up to 90 per centof the cost of bought-in gas.

TRME 2 2013 2nd Bind_Layout 1 13/03/2013 16:37 Page XV

Energy consumption is a majorconsideration in the purchase of anynew plant equipment and GardnerDenver has incorporated a number of

energy-saving features in to theproducts’ design.

First, the system uses less energy togenerate the nitrogen required on-sitethan it takes for a supplier to produceand deliver the same amount.

The carbon molecular sieve alsooffers superior energy performance,with no degradation in performance,

meaning that it does not need to bechanged during its lifetime to reduceconsumable costs.

And finally, when coupled with otherenergy-efficient products in the GDrange, such as speed-regulatedcompressors or the latest oil-freetechnologies, operators can maximiseefficiency further. ■


ManufacturingXVI

The CompAir generators offer a flexible range of purity levels

IN FOOD AND beverage processing, nitrogen is used in modified atmospherepackaging applications, where the packaged food is flushed with the gas to reducethe oxygen level below 1%. This reduces product spoilage and helps to increase shelflife and will also extend the nutritional value of the food without the need forpreservatives. Nitrogen also acts as a filler gas, to provide a pressurised atmosphere that preventspackage collapse.Manufacturing and analytical equipment can be purged with nitrogen gas to removeoxygen and water vapour from process lines, which can increase product quality andreduce the need for further conditioning treatments.In chemical applications, nitrogen is used to prevent the risk of fire and explosionwhen purging and testing tanks, vessels or lines. It also helps to prevent oxidation ofchemical compounds, plastics, paints and adhesives during processing. Harsh oil and gas environments are also familiar with the uses of nitrogen, where it isnot only used to suppress oxygen and thereby remove a potential fire hazard but alsofor a wide variety of other applications including blanketing, purging and sealing.

CAT® DEALER MOHAMED AbdulrahmanAl-Bahar and Caterpillar Inc.demonstrated innovative powersolutions at Middle East Electricityrecently.

Visitors to the Al-Bahar and Caterpillardisplay at Stand S2C10 saw the MiddleEast debut of the new Cat C175-20,which has already been selected forseveral multiple megawatt installationsin the region. Available for orders in2012 with deliveries starting in Q2 of2013, the C175-20 apparently producesthe largest power output of any singlehigh-speed diesel generator setavailable on the market.

An extension of the industry-provenC175-16, the C175-20 offers the sameclass-leading efficiency delivered from ahigh power density that generates morepower from a smaller footprint thatcompeting generator sets. This highpower density is a key benefit forstandby power at large, mission-criticalinstallations where reliability, durabilityand dependability are essential, such asdata centres, hospitals, airports, andblack start applications for utilities. Asingle 4 MW C175-20 represents a 55 percent reduction in footprint when

compared with two high-speed twomegawatt 3516B generator sets,significantly reducing installation costsand freeing up floor space for otheruses.

Recognising the harsh conditions andcritical need for reliable power faced bycustomers in the region, Caterpillarstands behind the C175-20 and everyother diesel standby generator set above1 MW with extended four-year platinumcoverage available in Europe, Africa, theMiddle East, Russia and CIS that covers100 percent of parts and labour andhelps customers avoid unexpected costsfor unscheduled repairs.

Al-Bahar and Caterpillar also featuredinnovative, high-efficiency hybrid powersystems that combine renewableresources such as solar photovoltaic

(PV) arrays, wind turbines,

robust long-life batteries, diesel or gasgenerator sets, and highly efficientpower electronics.

By optimizing the usage of availablerenewable resources and operating thegenerator set at peak efficiency points,hybrid power systems providebreakthrough reductions in total owningand operating costs, substantiallydecrease fuel consumption andmaximize system reliability. Particularlywell-suited for telecommunications andother applications in remote areaswhere electric utility service does notexist, hybrid power systems can becustomized to meet individual projectspecifications, providing customers withexactly what they need.

TTHE COMPANY REPORTED that thisincrease, which fell short of theestimated global average of 5.5per cent, would translate to 1.2

billion sqm of R-1 value by 2016. Theresidential construction market isexpected to experience the fastest growthin the Middle East/Africa region, closelyfollowed by the non-residentialconstruction market. Reasons for thisinclude increased building constructionexpenditure and the adoption ofinsulation regulations, the study claimed.

Freedonia’s research revealed thatdemand for insulation in value termswould reportedly expand by 7.2 per centper annum to US$2.1 billion in 2016.Foamed plastic, fibreglass and mineralwool insulation are all expected to postdemand gains between 6.4 and 7.6 percent annually. The study noted that thelargest market share would be held byfoamed plastic products, as these areused extensively in both construction andindustrial applications.

The company said that, in comparison,insulation demand in 2011 reached 935mn sqm of R-1 value in the region,accounting for five per cent of globaldemand.

Despite this, the company argued thatinsulation usage levels are well belowaverage in the Middle East/Africa due tothe warm climate, low use of airconditioning, reliance on traditionalbuilding practices and materials, lowstandards of living and the limitedindustrial sector. The intensity ofinsulation use (relative to GDP, fixedinvestment spending, and population

size) was therefore named by Freedoniaas among the lowest in the world.

Between 2006 and 2011, however,insulation sales in the region did expandby four per cent annually, well above theglobal average, the study claimed. It notedthat the Middle East/Africa region had infact one of the fastest growth rates ininsulation demand worldwide during thisperiod. Freedonia said the growth indemand could be attributed to growingbuilding construction spending, anincrease of industrial production, GDP andfixed investment spending. The non-residential construction marketexperienced the greatest level of growth,followed by the residential constructionmarket and the industrial, HVAC, and OEM

sectors, it added.Regarding exports, shipments of

insulation materials from theAfrica/Middle East region are projected toincrease 7.8 per cent per year to US$1.7billion in 2016. The study indicated thatlocal producers could benefit from theincreasing domestic demand, but theywould have to contend with competitionfrom suppliers in Europe and otherregions, which would inevitably limitgrowth.

The report noted that most insulationproducers in the Africa/Middle East regionare small- or medium-sized businesseswith limited geographical and productscope. Foreign multinational companieswith production facilities in the regioninclude Saudi Arabia’s Saudi PerliteIndustries (perlite), BASF, Bayer, DowChemical, Huntsman and Kingspan Group.

Therefore, due to the underdevelopedindustrial base, countries in the MiddleEast/Africa will need to rely on imports ofhigher-end products, such as industrialinsulation. The region’s trade deficit is, asa result of this, expected to reachUS$350mn in 2016. ■


Analysis40

Demand for insulation inthe Middle East/Africaregion is set to increase atan annual rate of 4.9 percent through 2016,according to the recentWorld Insulation study byThe Freedonia Group.

FREIGHT TRUCKS TRUNDLEdown the dusty, potholedroads of Kuwait's busiest port,running into traffic jams asthey emerge into thesurrounding streets. But afteryears of inaction, thegovernment is finally movingto ease the congestion. It ispushing ahead with a US$2.6billion plan to build a 36-kmcauseway, one of the longestin the world, connectingShuwaikh port and denselypopulated southern Kuwaitwith the north of the country,near the Iraqi border.

Such big projects werestalled for years by political wrangling and bureaucratic inertia, leaving Kuwait withunderdeveloped infrastructure and low levels of foreign investment in relation to its huge oilwealth. In the last few months, however, authorities have begun issuing contracts for someof the projects, raising hopes that one of the region's most under-performing economiesmay finally live up to its potential. The government signed a contract with South Korea'sHyundai Engineering and Construction Co. in November to design and build the causewayover the next five years. Construction is due to start later this year.

QATAR HAS NOW entered the next mostcritical phase of its preparations for the2022 FIFA World Cup where a massivesurge of contracts are expected for 2013and 2014 across the country’s bustlingprojects market.At this stage, consultants andcontractors are gearing up for tenders,busy preparing bids and eagerlyawaiting award announcements whichare likely to reach US$25 billion–US$30 billion a year, making Qatar theleading and fastest growing projects

CH2M HILL, A global full-service consulting, design,construction and operations firm, announces that a tunnelingmilestone has been reached on Abu Dhabi Sewerage ServicesCompany’s (ADSSC) Strategic Tunnel Enhancement Program(STEP) in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi. A ceremony was held tocelebrate the fifth tunnel boring machine (TBM) breakthroughon the deepest section of the 41-km long STEP deep sewertunnel. ADSSC is the service provider for sewerage services and ownsand operates the sewerage network and treatment plantsthroughout the Emirate of Abu Dhabi. To meet growingsewerage infrastructure demands, ADSSC has developed acomprehensive plan to accommodate the projected sewageflows far into the future. The cornerstone of the plan is STEP, forwhich CH2M HILL is the Program Manager and Impregilo S.p.A.is one of the deep tunnel contractors.

The breakthrough marked the completion of more than 25-km ofmined tunnel. A total of eight TBMs will have been used toexcavate the entire STEP deep sewer tunnel with a further 16-kmof tunnel still being mined by three EPB TBMs, with around ninekilometers remaining at the time of writing.The US$1.5 billion STEP is one of the longest gravity-drivensewerage tunnels in the world. STEP features three keycomponents: 41-km of deep sewer tunnel, 43-km of smallerdiameter link sewers, and a pumping station adjacent to the AlWathba Independent Sewerage Treatment Plants (ISTPs). STEP will operate by using link sewers to intercept the flows

from existing sewers upstream of the existing pumping stations,and convey the flows by gravity into the deep tunnel. The deeptunnel will convey the flows, again by gravity, to the new mainpumping station where the flows will be pumped out of the deeptunnel into the Al Wathba ISTPs. The link sewers and the deeptunnel will replace the existing main collector system andeliminate the need of up to 34 existing pumping stations, whichare nearing capacity and require extensive maintenance. When completed, STEP will be recognised as an efficient,cost-effective and sustainable solution to meet the long-term wastewater collection and conveyance needs of AbuDhabi Island and mainland. The system is designed for anultimate capacity of 1.7 mn cu m of wastewater per day by2030.

TTHIS YEAR’S SAUDI Arabian version of The Big 5 will beopen for business from 9-12 March in the WesternProvince’s number-one venue, the Jeddah Centre forForums & Events.

Organised by dmg::events(1)(Dubai) in association with localMICE Arabia Exhibition & Conferences (2) this now firmly-established annual expo is formally known as The Big 5 SaudiInternational Building & Construction Show.

This event is a highly successful spin-off from the huge annualconstruction-products show with its various ancillary activitieslike PMV and specialised concrete displays in Dubai.

Last year it attracted more than 500 exhibitors and nearly10,000 visitors.

The Saudi market itself is of course much larger in all respectsthan the UAE, or any other MENA country, being divided betweenequally buoyant Eastern and Western regions with much urbanand infrastructure development in between.

The historic port city of Jeddah, along with its nearby waterfrontKing Abdullah Economic City, is in the midst of a huge 20-yearnew-build and re-development programme.

It is also a key service and supply centre for the Holy Cities, ofcourse; these receive around 10 million visitors each and everyyear and are now being linked with the busy port by the brand-new Haramain high-speed rail line.

Including the Kingdom’s more distant Provinces the authoritiesin Riyadh are reported to be planning to spend no less thanUS$400 billion on infrastructure projects over the next few yearsgenerally, with 1.25 million new homes to be constructed withintwo years, many of these in the ‘greenfield’ Economic Citiesincluding KAEC; all require brand-new and extensive educationalfacilities. This year’s total awards target is of the order of US$44billion, and far more than 10 times this sum is understood to bewell advanced along the scheduled overall project-orderspipeline.

After a much-lauded launch in 2012 – which was followed by asuccessful and completely independent Green Building Forum inthe Kingdom in October last year - a new series of LEEDWorkshops is being held this year. The extensive US-founded (but

now locally established, by the Saudi Green Building Council,www.saudigbc.com) Leadership in Energy & EnvironmentalDesign programme is once again being made accessible to localparticipants by voluntary exposure to the latest sustainable, high-performance and, critically, measurable building techniques thatneed to be used if any of the complex system’s much-prized (andnow often indispensable) product ratings are to be awarded.

Categories offered by the parent USGBC include NewConstruction, Home and Neighbourhood Development, Interiorsand Existing Buildings.

The full-day Workshops on offer in Jeddah on 11 March this yearare once again (as summed up by us) LEED 201 (Core buildingdesign concepts and strategies), and LEED 301 (Implementingdesign, development and construction activities).

The Concrete Zone (in association with the specialised MiddleEast Concrete show in Dubai) is always a very popular assemblyof exhibits, offering an A-Z of specialised products and servicesranging from admixture chemicals to machinery for makingconcrete blocks and roof tiles. In 2012 there were more than 60exhibitors.

Nearby and of interest to many passers-by will be a speciallinked Concrete Repair Workshop which will again be open toparticipants who want to hear from world-class experts about thevery latest rehabilitation techniques and materials as approvedby august technical organisations such as the Concrete Society –techniques which are now obligatory for use by restoration

AES ARABIA DESIGNS and manufactures water andwastewater solutions for the MENA region, serving theenergy, municipality, industrial and commercial sectors.

The services offered by AES include water and waste watertreatment, odour control, water treatment plants as well aschemical injection skids.

According to AES’ Manager, - Business Development, AsadIqbal Khan; “In the Middle East, water resources are consideredto be scarce and expensive.

“Alternative water sources such as waste water can providean economical, ecologically-friendly option towards watersustainability.

“In addition, the ever-evolving and maturing environmentaldischarge standards and regulations have driven the use oftechnologies and solutions to keep producers competitive.”

AES is therefore continually devising new and innovativestrategies to cope with these challenges and take advantage ofthe increasing demand for alternative water sources.

As an example, AES was able to complete the design,manufacture and installation of a 24,000 cu m desalinationplant for Zubair Petrochemicals in Iraq, despite securityconcerns.

Awarded to the company by the United Nations’ Departmentof International Development (DFID), AES completed theproject remotely from Kuwait. The company recently said itwas ready to re-enter the Iraq market and is currently pursuingopportunities in the country.

AES has also worked on many other challenging projectsaccording to Khan, “In the GCC where water is as rare as adiamond, a mile deep, and very salty, one of our clients wantedto produce 5,650 cu m/d irrigation and potable water from his5,750 cu m/d limited well water source.

“Not only that, the client in fact wanted to recover all of thefilter backwash water, floor drains, and spent regenerationchemicals so the discharge from the plant was put to anabsolute minimum,” Khan added.

AES constructed a plant for the client which implemented aprocess of high pressure reverse osmosis (HPRO), with thechemical composition of the feed water allowing for 75 percent recovery of the waste stream.

Two waste streams coming from the plant were sent todifferent locations, with the brine sent to an evaporation pond,while the lime slurry was sent to sludge drying beds. Decantedwater from the lime slurry was then reclaimed back and putinto the system for further recovery.

Khan said, “Fine-tuning was done to reduce the lime slurry byup to 20 per cent through reducing the lime and adding causticinstead. Part of the slurry was recycled back to the inlet of theclarifiers providing seeds for precipitate particles to form onimproving the solids capacity and minimising solids carryover.”

The plant was successfully commissioned and put in service,meaning the client was able to yield 7,200 cu m/d from a totalinlet of 7,950 cu m/d.

Despite stiff competition from the recent influx of Asiancompanies in to the market, the AES spokesperson claimed, “Wehave been doing well and at a good pace of growth in themarket share, not only in the GCC but also the MENA region.”

As proof of its success, AES was named company of the yearat CWC Energy’s Global Water Oil and Gas Summit 2012 inDubai.

Looking to the future, the company is planning furtherexpansion, focusing on research and development.

“As part of the expansion plan we have taken steps further toinvest in the research and development within the company tomaterialise the concept and implement the concepts wealready have in the field of water and waste water,” Khanconcluded. ■

AES Arabia has been supplying waterand wastewater treatment systemsto the region since 1985.
