Iran to complete theconstruction of nuclearplant by 2025IRAN HAS STATED that it expects tosee a new nuclear power plant, whichit is building in cooperation withRussia, to be launched before 2025. Behrouz Kamalvandi, spokesmanfor Iran’s Atomic EnergyOrganization (AEOI), told domesticmedia that a second plant would bemade operational two years laterthan the first one. He added thatthe projects could generatecollective power of 2,100MW –1,050MW each once fullyoperational. In September 2016,Iran said it had started a 10-yearproject to construct a new nuclearpower plant with Russia’s help.The country already runs oneRussian-built nuclear reactor atBushehr, its first nuclear energyproject. Russia signed a deal withIran in 2014 to build up to eightmore reactors in the country.Kamalvandi further added that theconstruction of nuclear powerplants required an investment of atleast US$5bn. The figure, he said, isat least three times higher than thatrequired for the construction ofregular plants.

Qatar’s US$4.7bn mega-reservoirs project right on trackTHE CONSTRUCTION OF five mega-reservoirs that aim to boost Qatar’semergency water supply is 70 percent complete, Kahramaa officialshave announced.According to Doha News, oncefinished, they will be among theworld’s largest reservoirs, each witha capacity of some 100mn gallonsof water. They will have capacity tosupply Qatar’s population with aseven-day strategic reserve offreshwater. Currently, the nationhas at best a two-day emergencysupply, reports revealed. Work on the US$4.7bn WaterSecurity Mega Reservoirs Projectbegan in 2015, with the initialphases slated for completion next year.The reservoirs are being built in UmBaraka, Um Salal, Rawdat Rashid,Abu Nakhla, and Al Thumama.According to the Qatar Tribune, thefacilities are now in the testingphase. Additionally, water pipelineswork is 95 per cent complete and isnow in testing phase.

a consorTiuM comprising constructionsindustrielles de la Méditerranée (cniM), gulfinvestment corporation (gic), and al Mullagroup Holding co (aMg) has been selected aspreferred investor for its Kabd Municipal solidWaste Project in Kuwait.

The project aims to address Kuwait’s growingneed for environment and land resourcesprotection, and to generate alternative powersources. The plant will treat a nominalmunicipal solid waste capacity of 3,274 tonnesper day, which represents approximately 50 percent of its municipal solid waste, as well asgenerate around 100MW of electricity.

Kuwait authority for Partnerships Projects(KaPP) selected the cniM-gic-aMg consortiumfollowing a competitive tendering process.

The plant will utilise the latest technologies totreat waste. it will be developed on a build,operate and transfer (boT) basis for a period of25 years following completion of construction.

if the consortium is appointed as thesuccessful investor, it will take up shares in theproject company, which will be responsible forthe design, construction and operation of theplant. The successful investor will be appointedby the higher committee after audit, amongother things, by the state audit bureau.

VICE-PRESIDENT AND PRIME Minister of the UAEand Ruler of Dubai, HH Sheikh Mohammed binRashid Al Maktoum, has announced the largestsingle-site concentrated solar power (CSP) project in the world, which will be built at a totalcost of US$3.87bn.

The CSP project, which represents the fourthphase of the Mohammed bin Rashid Al MaktoumSolar Park, will generate 700MW of clean energy tosupport Dubai’s electricity grid. The project isconsidered an integral part of the emirate’s CleanEnergy Strategy 2050.

Sheikh Mohammed highlighted the UAE’s modelfor sustaining a green economy based onenvironmental sustainability and clean energy. TheUAE has a clear strategy for implementing andfurther developing this model to maximise itsbenefits, in addition to investing in infrastructure,building capabilities and developing specialisedlocal talent.

“We have made steady progress in realising thegoals of Dubai Clean Energy Strategy 2050 that waslaunched as part of our objective to transformDubai into a global clean energy and greeneconomy hub. The carbon footprint of Dubai willbe the lowest in the world by 2030,” said SheikhMohammed. “We are proud that bydemonstrating their capabilities, our local talenthave proved that they are ready to assumeresponsibility,” the Ruler added.

His Highness’ remarks came as the DubaiElectricity and Water Authority (DEWA) awardedthe independent power producer (IPP) model-based contract for the CSP project. The contractwas awarded to a consortium comprising of SaudiArabia’s ACWA Power and China’s ShanghaiElectric. The consortium bid the lowest levelisedcost of electricity (LCOE) of US$7.3 cents per kW/h.

The project will have the world’s tallest solar

tower, measuring 260 metres. The power purchaseagreement and the financial close are due to becompleted shortly.

Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, MD & CEO of DEWA,stated, “This achievement boosts our objectivesand positions us as one of the leading countries inthe world in terms of clean and renewable energy.The Dubai Clean Energy Strategy 2050 aims toincrease the share of clean energy in Dubai’s totalpower output to seven per cent by 2020, 25 percent by 2030, and 75 per cent by 2050.”

The Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum SolarPark is the largest single-site solar park in the world,based on the IPP model. It will generate 1,000MWby 2020 and 5,000MW by 2030. The 13MWphotovoltaic first phase became operational in2013. The 200MW photovoltaic second phase ofthe solar park was launched in March 2017. The800MW PV third phase will be operational by 2020,and the first stage of the 700MW CSP fourth phasewill be commissioned in Q4 2020.

ENERGY TECHNOLOGY BOLT-ONS willunderpin the future of the global energyindustry as companies respond to theseismic shift in energy distribution andsupply, consumer demand and to capitaliseon the smart energy revolution, research byPinsent Masons reveals.

The study, completed by 250 senior levelexecutives at energy and energy investmentcompanies from the Europe, Middle Eastand Africa (EMEA) and Asia-Pacific regions,showed that 90 per cent of energycompanies are actively seeking a smartenergy technology joint venture oracquisition. The appetite for JVs varies byregion: almost half (49 per cent) of energycompanies in Asia-Pacific are enthusiasticabout partnerships, compared with a third(33 per cent) in EMEA.

Pinsent Masons says lucrative

opportunities in Europe and Asia couldattract Middle Eastern investment with 85per cent of respondents naming Germany,China and the UK the top three destinationsfor their next smart energy investment.

The findings indicate investors andenergy companies are prioritising smartmeters, new methods of harnessing surpluspower and in-house development of dataanalytics technology within the next twoyears, while cloud management systemsand virtual power plants will see a surge ofinvestment over the next six years.

While the lack of competitive electricitymarkets is stifling innovation in the MiddleEast, Pinsent Masons states that MiddleEast-wide energy market collaboration andreform is crucial to the dismantling ofgovernment subsidies to kick start smartenergy projects across the GCC sunbelt.

Sachin Kerur, partner and head of PinsentMasons Middle East, sees opportunitiesopening up in the region. “We’re seeing aclear steer from the government, withpolicies such as the Dubai Clean EnergyStrategy 2050 leading the way.Demographic drivers, growing demand forenergy and the fiscal challenge of low oilprices will all contribute to a shift in gear forthe Middle East’s energy industry. For theregion’s investors and energy companies,the message is clear – innovation anddynamism will be the key to unlockingsmart energy revolution in the region. Whilepursuing greenfield opportunities on theground is crucial, cash-rich investors andacquisitive energy companies have anopportunity to reap the rewards ofinnovative new technologies across China,Germany and the UK,” Kerur adds.

‘Firms seeking tech bolt-ons to tackle energy market shift’

ABU DHABI’S RENEWABLE energycompany, Masdar, has signed anengineering, procurement andconstruction (EPC) contract with aglobal consortium comprising GE andSpain’s TSK to build the Dhofar WindPower Project, the first large-scalewind farm in Oman and the GCC.

The Dhofar Wind Power Project is aresult of the joint developmentagreement that was established in2014 between Masdar and the RuralAreas Electricity Company of Oman(RAECO). Funding for the wind farm isprovided by the Abu Dhabi Fund forDevelopment (ADFD).

The 50MW wind farm will electrifyan estimated 16,000 homes and offset 110,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions per year.

Mohamed Jameel Al Ramahi, Masdar CEO, said, “Oman has immense untapped potential in renewableenergy, particularly in solar and wind. Masdar is proud to be supporting the historically close tiesbetween the UAE and the sultanate by providing our experience and expertise from delivering cutting-edge renewable energy solutions across the world. The Dhofar Wind Power Project will play animportant role in supporting the diversification of Oman’s energy mix, while providing a reliable sourceof clean power to serve its growing population and economy.”

Through centuries, turkey’sposition on the world map hasalways played a key role in its

economic development, connecting Europewith Asia and making the country a focalpoint of trade and commerce. Home toEurope’s largest city, Istanbul, with apopulation of almost 15mn and still growingrapidly, Turkey has recently seen some ofthe region’s most exciting and ambitiousinfrastructure projects.

Demand for quality electrical power hasincreased dramatically in that time. FGWilson, one of the world’s longestestablished manufacturers of generatorsets, has been part of the Turkish economiclandscape right through with a presence inthe country since the 1980s.

FG Wilson is represented by FGWJenerator Turkey, initially as a sales officeand since 2009, a locally managed dealerwith offices in Istanbul, Ankara, Izmir andErbil in northern Iraq, together with servicecentres throughout Turkey.

Koksal Er, CEO of FGW Jenerator Turkey,says, “We track urban transformation trendsand we’ve been actively participating inmany major power projects in Turkey,northern Iraq and increasingly with Turkishcontractors working on projects globally. Wework very closely with developers on powerprojects from initial concept design throughto installation and commissioning of

generator sets. We have a dedicated teamof specialist engineers for major projects,and we work seamlessly with the UK-basedFG Wilson engineering team all the waythrough each project.”

This co-operation between dealer andfactory has produced some strong results. In2016, FGW Jenerator Turkey achieved fullIBC seismic certification as part of a projectto install 19 x 1,700kVA and 2 x 800kVAgenerator sets at Skyland Istanbul, thesecond largest construction project inTurkey in 2016. The FG Wilson generatorsets were manufactured in the UK, thentested and certified in Rome in July 2016 atthe only shaker table test facility outside theUSA to be able to accommodate machinesof this size. This was the first time FG Wilsonhas achieved seismic certification for largegenerator sets and is believed to be the firsttime a generator set powered by a Perkins 4000 Series engine has achieved fullseismic certification.

The list of projects completed by FGWJenerator Turkey reads like a catalogue ofthe country’s most prestigious constructionand infrastructure projects.

Saudi arabia is at initial stages of areform strategy known as ‘Vision2030’. It represents the most

ambitious Saudisation project ever to fostera knowledge-based/industrial economy thatattracts higher inward investment andwhere private businesses are pivotal in thecountry’s long-term goal of becoming theworld’s powerhouse. The first phase ofreforms is being rolled out via the five-yearNational Transformation Programme (NTP).

The strategy has generated strong globalinterest because it seeks to increaseinvestment (both domestic and foreign) andenhance the competitiveness anddiversification of the kingdom throughdevelopment of the private sector. TheInternational Monetary Fund (IMF) stated,“Saudi Arabia has begun a fundamentalpolicy shift to respond to low oil prices.Diversifying the economy, creating jobs fornationals in the private sector andimplementing a gradual but sizeable andsustained fiscal consolidation are key policy priorities.”

It added, “Progress with reforms toimprove the business environment aregaining momentum and a framework toincrease the transparency andaccountability of the government is largely in place.”

Despite growth slowdown in the past twoyears, Saudi Arabia’s finance ministerMohammed Al-Jadaan explained, “Thefundamentals of the Saudi Arabian economyremain strong as the kingdom’s balancesheet remains strong, with Saudi ArabianMonetary Agency (SAMA) forex assetsestimated at 84 per cent of gross domesticproduct (GDP), the third-largest in GDPterms globally. General government assetsare considerably above 100 per cent ofGDP.” Moody’s Investors Service broadlyagreed: “Although we see significantimplementation risks, we think that even ifSaudi Arabia implements part of the NTP,the plan will benefit the sovereign’s creditquality by supporting its fiscal and economic strength.”

Looking ahead, sizeable fiscal buffers, lowdebt, stable Saudi Rial-US dollar pegcoupled with the continued strength ofSaudi oil production and growth-enhancingstructural reforms underpin investorconfidence. But oil still remains a criticaleconomic variable – with budget revenueprojections based on oil price ofUS$60/barrel by 2018. The banking sectorremains strong – with adequate liquidityand non-performing loans estimated by IMFat only 1.4 per cent.

direct investment (FDI) inflows of aboutUS$293.3bn over the decade, mostly intopetrochemicals and oil refining sectors.Saudi Arabian General Investment Authority(SAGIA) aims to attract US$18.7bn in annualFDI by 2020. Direct purchase of shares byforeign institutional investors on the equitymarket is permitted since 2015.

investing for the futureSaudi Arabia over decades has executed amammoth infrastructure developmentprogramme. Between 2003 and 2013, totalinvestment (in nominal terms) totalledabout US$1.3 trillion – of which one-fifthwas spent on economic infrastructure,double the previous decade. The largestshare went into public utilities, but therewas also heavy spending on transportation(roads, air and port facilities) andtelecommunications – thereby improvingregional and international connectivity.Saudi Arabia was ranked 52nd in 2016 GlobalLogistics Performance Index; the NTP aimsto raise global rating to 25th by 2020.

The kingdom’s faces demographictransition – with over half of indigenouspopulation younger than 25 and by 2030about 4.5mn new working-age Saudis couldenter the labour market. The degree ofurbanisation is larger than in some WesternEuropean countries; four-fifths of the totalpopulation live in cities.

“This demographic structure, with ayoung and growing population, could in theshort term be a considerable asset and agenerator of economic growth,” statedMckinsey Global Institute. Demographicpressures demand huge funding for physicaland human infrastructures, which, in turn,require foreign and private investment andthe creation of almost three-times as manyjobs for Saudis as the country created in thelast decade. The NTP targets 450,000private sector jobs by 2020.

Overall, the government has awardedcontracts worth over US$370bn since 2010,of which three-fifths of the total are stillunder-construction. Among some of thelargest civil projects included the US$21bnexpansion of the Grand Mosque in Meccaand the US$7.2bn King AbdulazizInternational Airport expansion in Jeddah.Presently, greenfield projects with anestimated value of US$250bn are either atpre-development stages or tender phases.

Global audit consultancy KPMG noted,“Many of the government’s projects will berun on a public-private-partnership basisand will involve the privatisation of existinggovernment entities.” The energy sector

comprises one-third of planned projects,followed by construction and transport at29 and 27 per cent, respectively.

The Ministry of Housing estimates threemillion new homes will be needed by 2025to cater for rising population. The Ministryof Health plans to build about 3,000 medicalcentres. Education is also high priority with20 new universities built. Operators couldbe given a role in operating some of thepublic hospitals or schools. During the lastdecade, the kingdom built 81 hospitals at acost of US$6.93bn. The government hasallocated funds for renewable energy, with atarget of 3.4 and 9.5 GW of installedcapacity by 2020 and 2030, respectively.

strategic partnershipsThe NTP seeks to increase the share ofprivate sector activity from currently 40 to65 per cent of GDP by 2020 through better

infrastructure, business friendly regulationsand enhanced logistic solutions.Privatisation and public-private partnerships(PPPs) are central to a broaderdiversification strategy. Bernd van Linder,managing director of Saudi Hollandi Bank,told London-based Banker journal, “I expectPPPs to gain traction, especially in theenergy and water sectors. Historically,projects in these sectors have been verysuccessful, not just in financial terms for the entities running the associatedfacilities but also in terms of theireffectiveness and efficiency.”

The biggest asset for partial sale is themuch-anticipated public share offering offive per cent of Saudi Aramco, which wouldbe opened to foreign investors. Thegovernment estimates the value of Aramcoat over US$2 trillion – far exceeding marketcapitalisation of supermajors (ExxonMobil,Chevron, Shell, Total and BP). An investmentbanker remarked, “The Aramco initial publicoffering is a message to the rest of the worldthat Saudi Arabia is open for business.” Buttoday’s low oil prices could delay its sale.

industry clustersThe manufacturing sector is key to boostingnon-oil growth; the number of factories isexpected to reach 9,000 by 2018, accordingto Mutlaq Al-Qahtani, former head of the

Jubail Industrial Chamber. Saudi Arabia aimsto achieve more sophisticated industrialcapacities. The NTP sets specific targets forthe Royal Commission for Jubail and Yanbu(RCJY). They include expanding the numberof value-added manufactured productsfrom 432 to 516 items, expanding outputcapacity of RCJY cities from 252mn to309mn tonnes and increasing privateinvestments in Jubail-Yanbu areas by halffrom US$181.59bn to US$290bn.

New residential, educational,entertainment, logistics and commercial

complexes are being built to achieve thesetargets. The manufacturing sector isprojected to comprise one-quarter of theGDP by 2020 – up from 12 per cent in 2015.The sector grew at robust 7.9 per centannually during 2000-15 withmanufacturing value added estimated atUS$79.4bn in 2015, according to the WorldBank. Mining and petrochemicals are areasamong where Saudi Arabia has an untappedcompetitive advantage and hence shouldplay an important role in job creation.

The Ministry of Transport under a 10-yearplan (2015-25) has allocated colossalfinancing for new metro lines and busroutes in Jeddah, Mecca, Medina andRiyadh. This offers opportunities for themanufacturing of buses, train carriages andspare parts as well as providing technicalsupport services.

Saudi Arabia remains strategically themost important market in the region. Itplans to establish a US$2 trillion sovereignwealth fund for post-oil era, which willopen new opportunities for global firmsacross wide sectors of the Saudi Arabianeconomy. And the non-oil growth shouldincrease over the medium-termunderpinned by reforms. �

Haroon Niazi is a partner at HKA and isresponsible for managing the business inSaudi Arabia. He specialises in all areas ofdispute resolution and construction law atHKA, the new global brand that unites theformer Construction Claims and ConsultingGroup of Hill International and associatedsubsidiaries.

Technical Review Middle East (TRME):What is the construction scenario in SaudiArabia currently?Haroon Niazi (HN): The constructionmarket remains subdued within thekingdom. The first half of 2017 has beenincredibly tough for everyone involvedwithin the construction industry. Inparticular, the lack of liquidity within themarket has slowed down projects andchanges to fiscal policy have meant thatmany of the new projects that were meantto start in 2017 were unable to get off theground. What we are seeing is that thedemand for work has increased and assuch, contractors and sub-contractorsappear to be pricing projects on a morecompetitive basis in order to secure work tosee them through the current climate. Thekey factor remains that end user demandswithin Saudi Arabia remains high and assuch additional due diligence is beingwisely undertaken by the government inorder to ensure only those projects that willhave a positive impact on society actuallycome to market. In my opinion, this is an

important policy change and we will soonsee the long-term benefits as a result ofsuch changes.

TRME: Can you shed some light on thecurrent projects with regards to utilities,transportation and renewable energy too?HN: The Riyadh Metro project remains thelargest transportation project in thekingdom and is on track. In addition, weshould soon be seeing the Haramain HighSpeed Railway Project (US$20bn) come intooperation. This will provide much neededassistance for pilgrims commuting betweenMakkah and Madina. The aviation sectorremains active and we recently saw a newcontractor appointed on the redevelopmentof King Khalid Airport in Riyadh. At the sametime, works remain on going in Jeddah onKing Abdul Aziz International Airport wherewe recently saw the appointment of theairport operator. After the success of theMadina Airport PPP project, we haverecently seen three further airports (Yanbu,Hail and Qassim) awarded on a PPP basis.

In terms of renewable energy, recentgovernment announcements indicate thatthe kingdom is moving ahead with its planto deliver 9.5 GW of renewable energy by2023 in accordance with the objectives asset out in Saudi Vision 2030. A technicalappraisal is currently being carried out inorder to shortlist companies for some of thesolar and wind projects planned tocommence next year.

TRME: Do you think public privatepartnership (PPP) is the way forward?HN: PPP projects have been delivered bothsuccessfully and unsuccessfully in variouscountries throughout the world. There arenumerous examples of projects failing wherethe end result has been that it has actuallycost the government more to deliver aproject then it would have done so under atraditional form of procurement. It is clearthat the Saudi government is keen to learnfrom mistakes of others and is implementingmeasures to minimise the PPP delivery risk.However, PPP projects are not new to SaudiArabia and, in addition to Madina Airport,we have seen other projects in the powerand utility sector successfully delivered bythe private sector.

I see PPPs as an important way to engagewith the private sector in order to assist withthe fiscal changes and overall diversificationstrategy as part of Vision 2030. It isimportant that the framework thatsurrounds any PPP transaction is robust andtherefore project sponsors, investors,financiers, contractors and all otherstakeholders involved in the delivery andoperation of a project have confidence in theviability and legal security of any proposedscheme. As with any project, a PPP scheme isno different, and due diligence remains afundamental element for the success of theproject. Sometimes some of the bestprojects are the ones that you never do and,therefore, it is important that measures are

Even as reports suggest a deterioration in the value of contracts in 2017 inSaudi Arabia, high levels of competition and construction still prevail.Technical Review Middle East touched base with consultants in the kingdomto understand the situation at ‘Ground Zero’.

IN THe TWelVe months to Q1 2017construction as a percentage of GDPcontracted from seven per cent to 6.2 percent as backlogs continued to fall andawards in late 2016 failed to fill the gaps. Agood start to the year was followed by aslow second quarter, indicating the marketis still in some flux. The committed majorschemes from Saudi Arabia’s Crown Princefor late 2017 need to flow through to stemthe industry’s falling level of work.

Within the GCC, political turmoil hasweighed on the industry in general andconstruction has felt the effects as badly asother sectors. Q1 in the kingdom marked asurge of industry awards to US$11bn,compared against a quiet Q4 2016. This hasfallen back significantly in Q2 to anestimated US$5bn, which reflects theregion, with no GCC country performing asstrongly as in Q1. Other factors weighing onthe market have been Ramadan falling justprior to the traditional ‘quiet’ period of thesummer holiday season, liquidity stillmoving its way into the industry and the oilprice being range bound.

With alternative financing working itsway through the government sector, wehave seen significant moves to market inaviation, power and water. The GeneralAuthority of Civil Aviation of Saudi Arabia(GACA) has so far awarded five airports –King Khalid Riyadh terminals upgrades,Qassim, Hail, Taif and Yanbu – in 2017 at anestimated US$4.9bn, making them thestandout client in the kingdom in 2017 withnearly 30 per cent of awards by value yearto date. Numerous other schemes are stillto come to market or be awarded as GACAcommences the process of privatising

several of its key assets. The growth in this sector is driven by solid commercialfundamentals.

Demand is expanding from a growing,young population that is increasinglydemanding connectivity. The private sectorwas expected to start recovery in theconstruction industry in 2017. However,given the focus on real estate in the sector– even factoring in lower costs ofconstruction – the headwinds faced in realestate have continued, with a near 10 percent fall in sales prices compared to 2016.This has made the viability of numerousschemes challenging – even when factoringin the upcoming ‘white land tax’. However,this should drive focus towards theaffordable end of the market, which is verypoorly supplied currently.

The effects of aligning the industrypipeline of projects and programmes to thecountry’s requirements are becomingevident. Year-on-year (yoy) there havebeen more than a five per cent drop inschemes either in the pipeline or beingconstructed. Part of this is explained by thecontract completion and lack of awards,although certain ‘trophy’ schemes havedisappeared already from the pre-contract stages or have reduced in scale.This trend is expected to continue withPWC’s reprioritisation/cancellation ofschemes across ministries on behalf of theMinistry of Planning and economy.However, the mid-term probability ofschemes in the pipeline actually movingforward has increased.

The government sector is now starting toapply project management office (PMO)processes and procedures designed to

deliver best practice and transparencywithin the Ministries and government-owned organisations. Under thestewardship of the NPMO (Mashroat),several government entities are in theprocess of procuring or rolling out theirown PMO, although this process has takensomewhat longer than originally expected.The effects of this rollout will only be feltduring 2018 and beyond, so the need toprioritise projects by exception is critical ifthe industry is to survive at a suitable scaleto deliver in the future. Mecca Metro hastaken time to move forward and it isthought this scheme could be awardedprior to the end of 2017.

Tendering activity in H1 has beenrelatively subdued in terms of value.Numerous bids have been in the marketfrom the private, semi-government andindeed some government entities, butmost schemes haven’t been of a size tosupport the quantum of workers or supplychain. As an industry, there is estimated tobe a US$60bn gap in backlogs across theregion. This, in turn, has placed furtherpressures on the whole contracting supplychain. Although an upturn is expected andregionally, awards in H1 2017 haveoutperformed H1 2016 by 15 per cent, itshould be noted that 2016 was the worstH1 for more than five years. Given US$16bnof awards have occurred in Saudi Arabia in2017 to date, our forecast for US$27bn inthe year may need to be revised upwardsshould the Crown Prince’s commitment formajor awards later this year occur.

implemented to ensure project duediligence is effectively carried out.

TRME: Do you see businesses aligning theirstrategies to Vision 2030 in terms ofsustainability and development?HN: Absolutely. I am now talking to clientswho would never have thought about doinga project as a PPP or transforming theiroperation model. They understand the needto change and diversify in order to ensurethey are not left behind. As I have said duediligence is key and what is important is thatall stakeholders properly engage in the duediligence process of any project in order toensure they are moving forward in line withSaudi Vision 2030. What is clear is that

changes surrounding Vision 2030 and theNational Transformation Program (NTP) arehappening and are proceeding at therequired pace although we are expectingsome changes in the overall NTP deliveryprogramme. We have also recently heardthat there may be some delays in theAramco IPO. The private sector cannot affordto be left behind and therefore aligningbusiness plans in line with governmentstrategy is fundamental. Whilst this will bedifficult, I do believe businesses in thekingdom can adapt to meet the challengesassociated with the change. Historicallybusinesses have focused efforts aroundgovernment spend and initiatives. Makingsuch changes is no different.

TRME: Your advice to local andinternational companies doing/wanting todo business in Saudi Arabia?HN: It’s very simple – the kingdom remainsthe largest country within the GCC and withthe budget deficit shrinking, the futureremains positive. There will be a number ofinvestment opportunities for both local andinternational companies in Saudi Arabia and,provided one has carried out the duediligence, the reward remains significantlyhigher than may be obtained elsewhere. Icannot reiterate the importance of duediligence as I have mentioned this a fewtimes, but with reward comes risk and assuch it is important that risk is managedfrom day one.

WITH RIYADH BEING the busiest cityfollowed by Jeddah, hotels and leisureconstruction contractor awards will reacha value of US$ 2.5bn by the end of thisyear, according to Venture Onsite’s GCCHotels & Leisure Market report.

The Saudi Vision 2030 is encouragingpositive growth for the hotel and leisureindustry. In April, the kingdom’s publicinvestment fund announced plans to buildthe largest cultural, sports, andentertainment city in the world. By 2022,sports, cultural and recreational facilitieswill be developed along with a safari and aSix Flags theme park over a 334 sq km areasouth of Riyadh.

While expanding its capacity toaccommodate religious visitors in Makkahand Madina, the kingdom is alsobroadening its hospitality market in a bidto diversify the national economy.

The positive trend is confirmed acrossthe whole region. In the GCC, hotel andleisure construction contractor awards areexpected to record a 13 per cent increase,from US$11,237mn in 2016 toUS$12,716mn in 2017, according to theVentures Onsite report. Among the MiddleEast countries, Saudi Arabia has the mostnumber of rooms in construction at 40,020across 89 projects; the UAE with 35,050rooms in 121 projects and Qatar with

9,627 rooms in 41 projects, according toglobal hotel data from STR.

2017 could be the record year for new Saudi hotel openings

THe SAUDI ARAbIAN government is gearingup to sell a state-owned power generationfirm and a water desalination company bythe end of this year, according toMohammed Al Tuwaijri, the vice-minister foreconomy and planning, who said each wouldbe a multi-billion-dollar deal.

The privatisation process is “in a very, veryadvanced stage”, he told the press recently,with “not only financial advisers hired, butwe have appetite secured”.

The power generation firm is the first offour companies owned by state utilitiesprovider Saudi electricity Company (SeC) tobe privatised over the next few years – oneper year – under the country’s five-yeardevelopment plan released in June 2016 –National Transformation Program.

The Saline Water Conversion Corporation(SWCC), meanwhile, announced in Augustthat it had hired US-based managementconsultancy DuPont Sustainable Solutions to

help optimise its operations and riskmanagement in preparation for a potentialsale by year end. The SWCC currentlysupplies 70 per cent of the country’sdesalinated water. The move dovetails with agovernment target for private partners tosupply 52 per cent of the country’sdesalinated water requirements by 2020.

The approaching sales are part of abroader government plan to raise someUS$200bn by selling state assets over thenext few years under its overarching SaudiVision 2030 blueprint for economic andsocial development. As for the utilitiessector, late last year officials announced thatSeC would be divided into four separatecompanies and transferred to the publicinvestment fund ahead of privatisation. eachwould have around one-quarter of thecompany’s current 60MW of generationcapacity at the time of sale.

last year the SeC said it would retain its

transmission and distribution operationsafter selling its generation assets, but wasopen to an expanded role for the privatesector in downstream operations.

Demand for cost-effective utilities is set torise as the government pushes for greaterefficiency in public service delivery amidlower oil prices, including by cuttingelectricity subsidies. “In particular, the publicsector will either move to transfer secondaryactivity to private operators or to co-invest inenergy-efficient utilities solutions,” KamalPharran, CeO of Saudi Tabreed DistrictCooling Company, stated.

The increased investments called for in theNTP – in large-scale housing, infrastructureand industrial developments – will also drivedemand for utilities expansion, Pharran said,as the country seeks to lift both output andefficiency in delivering water, power anddistrict cooling services.– Source: Oxford Business Group

infrastructure, energy and utilities facilities,and affordable housing across the country.The Saudi Arabian construction industry isexpected to rise from US$103.1bn in 2016 toUS$105.4bn in 2021.

There are key policies and investmentprogrammes that should help to boostconstruction. The government plans todevelop sea ports, railways, airports andmanufacturing facilities.

Under the NTP 2020, the government

plans to invest US$71.5bn to develop thecountry’s transport and tourisminfrastructure. Moreover, under Saudi Vision2030, the government plans to increase theprivate sector’s contribution from 40 per cent of the country’s GDP in 2015 to 65 percent by 2030.

The growth of these sectors must beaccompanied by huge infrastructuredevelopment projects necessary for theestablishment of educational and healthcarecentres, industrial cities and housingprojects, development of roads andtransport network facilities will also have adirect impact on the growth of theconstruction and building sector in spite ofthe negative impact resulting from thedecline in oil prices.

According to Riyadh exhibitions Company(ReC), the main mission of the Saudi buildexhibition is to gather leading companies toshowcase their services, capabilities, andprojects to a specialised audience includingconsultants, engineers, businessmen anddecision makers. �

Saudi Build has proved its value through the participation of decision makers that network with engineers, businessmenand specialists in the kingdom as well as by introducing latest trends of the development sector.

T he Middle east has always had ahigh dependency on high powergenerators and the notable decline

in the >375kVA range of diesel generatorshas been linked to a stop on major projects,following the oil price drop. While the othergenset ranges have also seen a decline, theyare relatively more stable. According to databy PowerGen Statistics, the >375kVA rangerecorder a 24 per cent drop in the year-on-year evolution, while the <75kVA and75-375kVA ranges have seen a drop of 17per cent and 12 per cent, respectively.

The fall in oil prices, which has led to thecancellation of several oil and gas projects,has had a major impact on the gensetmarket. A Frost and Sullivan report reveals

that over the last two years almostUS$380bn worth of oil and gas projects havebeen cancelled. The report also reveals thatgenset manufacturers with a big focus onthe oil and gas sector have witnessed aslump in their revenues and have diversifiedto other sectors.

While the outlook is still uncertain fornow, the industry remains hopeful.

Speaking about the current marketclimate in the Middle East, Jalil Azdem,Middle East Asia and Pacific area managerat INMESOL, says that, at the moment, themarket of power generating sets in generalis steady in the GCC due to the difficulties ofcash flow, low oil prices and some internalpolitical instability.

While several experts and reports maintain that 2016 has been a low year for diesel genset imports in the Middle East,the market is still within its historical range. The decline, which adds up to around 35 per cent, has been observed acrossall sectors. That said, the region’s genset industry remains optimistic due to the burgeoning non-oil sector.

“This difficult economic situation in theregion is temporary and we are veryoptimistic that we will see some signs ofeconomic recovery soon to increase thepower demand,” he stressed.

With the fall in crude oil prices,diversification strategies have beenestablished in most Middle East countriesleading to increased focus on non-oil sectorsincluding construction, a strong contributorto the diesel genset market. Thedevelopment of mega projects such asDahiyat Al Fursan New City (Saudi Arabia),the Al Maktoum International Airportexpansion (UAE) and Lusail City (Qatar) aredriving the demand for diesel genset in theconstruction industry in the region. Iran isanother potential market for diesel gensetdue to the removal of economic sanctions.

Construction and telecom sectors aredriving demand for diesel gensets in theregion. A recent report by BMI Researchshows that the Middle East and North Africa(MENA) region will be the fastest growingconstruction market globally in 2017 with asix per cent year-on-year. This will have apositive impact on the genset market.

Azdem points out that fast growth ofindustrial and urbanisation sectors, whichrequire continuous power; new legislationto use standby generators for importantbuildings such as hospitals, big hotels andresidential projects; and the lack of stablegrid network support are some of the otherfactors driving growth in this sector.

Mega events provide opportunityThe UAE leads the Middle East genset importmarket across all genset power ranges,followed by Saudi Arabia. Research datashow that the genset import value in theUAE from July 2015 to June 2016 totalledUS$77.9mn, US$60mn and a whoopingUS$240.39mn for <75kVA, 75-375kVA and>375kVA ranges respectively.

Increasing construction activities,

infrastructure development, establishmentof new hotels, business hubs and industriesin the country as it prepares for Expo 2020Dubai have been attributed to the strongmarket for diesel gensets. The UAE dieselgenset market is primarily driven by Dubaiand Abu Dhabi.

Mahmoud El Zaafarany, chief commercialofficer at Altaaqa Global, explains, “Thedemand for electricity has, over the years,increased in the UAE. The continueddevelopment of public and privateinfrastructure, together with an expandingpopulation, has caused the country’selectricity requirement to surge in the lastdecade. And with the upcoming Expo 2020Dubai, during when 25mn tourists areexpected to visit the country, the demandfor power is expected to maintain its rise.”

Saudi Arabia is the second-largest marketfor diesel genset import in the region,owning to its geographical size, increasingconstruction activities, expansion of publicinfrastructures, government policies tosupport establishment of new industriesand need to supply power in off-grid andremote areas.

El Zaafarany points out that Saudi Arabia’ssustained investment in construction,industrial activities and public infrastructureare driving the requirement for temporarypower plants. “In addition, with constantlyincreasing electricity demand fromresidents and businesses, moreopportunities for cooperation betweenpower utilities and supplemental powerproviders are opening up,” he adds.

A report by 6Wresearch indicates that theSaudi Arabia diesel genset market isprojected to grow at a CAGR of 2.24 per centfrom 2016-2022. Saudi Arabia’s constructionindustry had witnessed sharp fall in 2015-16with many major infrastructure projectscancelled, delayed or put on hold; a result ofsignificant reduction in government spendingdue to low crude oil prices. This hasconsequently had an impact on the dieselgenset market. However, with the expectedrecovery of crude oil prices, the market isexpected to rebound, experts maintain.

Qatar, which is currently preparing for theupcoming 2022 FIFA World Cup is anothermajor regional market. The development ofrelated infrastructure and expansion of itstransportation network are driving demandfor additional power in the country.

“Qatar is a major market because of thehigh number of ongoing expansion andinfrastructure projects. Most of theconstruction areas in the country do nothave a supply of electricity coming from themainland. This is driving demand for dieselgensets, which are in use in the vastmajority of construction work sites in thecountry,” Edmer Gonzales, regional businessline manager Middle East at ChicagoPneumatic, maintains.

Rental is beneficialPower rental is a fast growing market in theMENA region. According to El Zaafarany, thepower rental market in the region is drivenby continuous economic growth, sustainedindustrial and infrastructure activities, rapid

growth in population and improvement inthe standards of living.

“Moreover, the region also seesoccasional power shortages in key areas andhas observed unreliable electricityconnection in various cities and provinces,which also contribute to the increase indemand for multi-megawatt supplementalpower sources,” he notes.

Alternative power sources can support theregion’s existing power infrastructure in awide range of situations. For instance, theintense industrial and construction activities,coupled with a significant residentialelectricity requirement especially duringsummer months, put a heavy load on theregion’s utilities so that occasionally they areunable to supply the required power. This iswhere turning to supplemental powerbecomes beneficial, particularly inmaintaining the productivity of industrialoperations.

Chicago Pneumatic’s Gonzales reiteratesthat more companies are now establishinggenerator rental fleets. “In the short term, there will remain a degree ofuncertainty about the growth inconstruction projects across the region.However, conversely, this has led to anincrease in companies looking to rentgensets instead of buying them.”

More companies are considering rentingbecause it allows them to control theircapital expenditure (CAPEX). “For instance,the additional cost of repairing andmaintaining their machines is no longertheir responsibility as it is covered by therental companies,” he states.

What’s newDiscussing the current trends in theequipment rental market in the Middle East,INMESOL’s Azdem points out that there isgrowing demand for equipment thatgenerates less noise, has low gas emissionsthat meet regulations and with maximumreliability in terms of service provisioning.Azdem added that it has set the reductionof noise emissions as one of the objectivesfor developing new products in 2017.According to INMESOL, the regulations ongas emissions that affect internalcombustion engines are increasinglydemanding within the rental sector. Enginemanufacturers are aiming to adapt thedesign with advanced control systems andwith gas emissions below the limitations, tocomply with the regulations.

growing demand for natural gas and dual-fuel power generationtechnologies, largely influenced by the increasing availability offuel resources and government initiatives towards reducing carbon emissions.

“Gas is becoming increasingly available and gas generationtechnologies are progressively finding application in bigger andlonger duration projects, making the upfront investment for gasinfrastructure economically sensible. The availability of dual-fuelgenerators, which simplifies the transition from diesel-run to gas-run generators, is also facilitating wider acceptance for gas powergeneration technologies.”

Multi-megawatt supplemental power technologies are primed towork in tandem with renewable energy sources to help surmountissues of power supply unpredictability and intermittency, especiallyin power-intensive industries like oil and gas, construction, utilitypower generation, transmission and distribution.

Temporary power plants can also provide supplemental power torenewable energy facilities during planning, manufacturing,

installation, commissioning, operations and maintenance. Temporarypower plants can help ensure that renewable energy plants areconstructed and delivered on time and as planned and that theyremain efficient, reliable and in optimum condition at all times.

Romy Hocknell, marketing manager at JCB Power Products,reiterates that while the demand continues to rise in dieselgenerators, there is increasing interest in the company’s Inteli-Hybrid Generator and Battery Box. “Both the generators offer ourcustomers an alternative power solution, which providessignificant fuel and CO2 savings, thereby overall making significantcost savings,” he adds.

JCB also recently announced its move into the gas powergeneration market. “JCB Power Products recognises a greatopportunity and, whilst the focus is firmly on providing gasgenerators to the UK market, we would hope to rollout gasgenerators to others markets in the future,” Hocknell reveals.

Italy’s Visa SpA is also optimistic about the future of hybridsolutions in the Middle East. “Slowly, but surely, the trend istilting towards hybrid solutions in telecommunicationapplications. It has been a slow start but the momentum maypick up in the future. Hybrid solutions, with the right technology,can go a long way in terms of power and efficiency,” says Visa SpACEO Marco Barro. �

THE SIZE OF the Middle East district cooling market willexceed US$12bn by 2024, a new study has predicted. In itslatest report, US-based analysis firm Global Market Insights

says that increasing investments into infrastructure developmentacross the GCC countries, coupled with growing demand for reliableand cost-efficient cooling systems, will drive the size of the districtcooling market. Considering life cycle costs and not capitalexpenditure (CAPEX) alone, district cooling helps reduce costs andthereby CO2 emission.

In addition, rapid urbanisation along with ongoing constructiondevelopments across government projects in prominent cities inSaudi Arabia, including Mecca and Riyadh, will stimulate productpenetration into that market.

In the UAE, a flourishing construction sector coupled with ongoinggovernment targets towards energy efficiency will fuel districtcooling market growth.

Speaking with Technical Review Middle East, experts maintain thatdistrict cooling is expanding rapidly in the Gulf Cooperation Council(GCC) and sustainable technologies rule the roost.

Ghaleb Abussa, engineer – arbitrator at Peer Review & AdvisoryServices, says, “District cooling, by default, is huge in size and itmostly comes as water-cooled systems, thereby reducing powerconsumption that is lower than individual air-cooled chillers orstandalone systems. Some may say that district cooling will consumemore water, a commodity that is scarce in the region, but the use of

treated sewage effluent (TSE) can help tackle this situation with there-use of wastewater.”

According to American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers’ (ASHRAE) Dr Alaa Olama, the Middle East isexperiencing increasing valuable interest in district cooling,especially in the GCC where it has grown exponentially since 1990s.The cooling capacity is expected to triple between 2010 and 2030.

Middle Eastern governments are working towards promoting energy-efficient and economical cooling solutions tostimulate sustainable product penetration. Two top experts talk to Technical Review Middle East.

Tech talkCommenting on new technologies at the forefront in the districtcooling industry, Abusaa says that manufacturers are enhancing themain components of chillers to boost efficiency including controlsystems like the use of combine heat and power (CHP) and hybridsystems to reduce power consumption and CO2 footprint; engine-driven compressors particularly when gas is available as fuel, thusutilising low grade heat for other applications mainly for heating andabsorption chilling. He adds that the use of natural refrigerants andthermal storage to shave peak loads is on the rise.

Meanwhile, Olama notes that few new technologies exist indistrict cooling installations in the Middle East, except in themajority of projects in Egypt where natural gas fired absorptionchiller are used because of the low price of locally produced naturalgas and an advanced downstream network in the country.

“The majority of district cooling projects in the Middle East usestraditional high tonnage mechanical vapour compression chillers.However, this could change in the near future because of the twoongoing studies sponsored by the United Nations: UNIDO and UNEnvironmental agencies, addressing the use of Not-In-Kind or non-vapour compression district cooling technologies in Egypt andKuwait. The studies, once finished, will provide technical andfinancial assistance for Not-In-Kind projects to four pilot projects,two in each country, to help implement new technologies.”

Energy efficiencyThe Montreal Protocol is considered the most successfulenvironment protection agreement. The protocol sets bindingprogressive phase-out obligations for developed and developingcountries for all major ozone depleting substances, including CFCs,halons and less damaging transitional chemicals such as HCFCs.

Hydrofluorocarbons (HCFCs) replaced CFCs – the original refrigerants– in the 1950s. The most dominant HCFC for refrigeration and airconditioning applications is R-22. Its also important to understand theglobal warming potential (GWP) of refrigerants like HCFCs used analternatives to CFCs. The GWP of a gas is measures against how muchheat or greenhouse gas the refrigerant traps in the atmosphere relativeto a similar mass of CO2. The higher a gas’ GWP the more it contributesto the Earth’s global warming.

A schedule for phasing out HCFCs was agreed between the partiesand in 2007 Decision XIX/6 under the Montreal Protocol was takento accelerate the planned phase out for HCFCs. This ensures fasterprotection of the ozone layer, assuming that alternatives can beinnovated with low or no climate impact.

The accelerated phase-out schedule of HCFCs for non-Article 5and Article 5 countries is shown in Table 4-2. It also shows that non-Article 5 countries will complete phase-out HCFCs by 2020, allowing0.5 per cent for servicing purposes during 2020-30. Article 5

countries will complete the phase-out by 2030 allowing 2.5 per centfor servicing during 2030-2060.

According to Abusaa, using water-cooled systems and naturalrefrigerants reduces the ozone depleting potential (ODP),greenhouse effect and total equivalent warming impact (TEWI) but,on the other hand, it affects the land and sea adversely because ofbleed water high salinity. This adverse effect can be reduced via TSEby recycling wastewater. Releasing high temperature water to seaadversely affects the climate coral reef.

He also adds that the best way to reduce the adverse effectsrequires the joining of hands of consultants, society andgovernments. “Consultants should not exaggerate heat loadscalculations and Delta T (temperature difference) between indoorand outdoor areas must be fixed. The current habits call for coolerindoors when higher outdoor temperatures prevail, causing adverseeffect on human health. Finally, the concerned authorities need toapply penalties and incentives schemes for HVAC industry. Educationand public awareness is very important.”

Growing GCC marketAbusaa maintains that the market for district cooling is merely 10per cent of the global share, partly due to the limitation of financialfeasibility except for markets with vertical expansion. “Verticalexpansion is mostly seen in countries where land is limited andinfrastructure growing. This is not the case in the GCC where spendis currently happening on the horizontal expansion. District coolingis not financially feasible nor attractive for villas and low-risebuildings whereas it is highly feasible and attractive when high-risebuildings are dominating the expansion.”

On country-wise growth Abusaa and Olama take different stands.For Abusaa, it is Saudi Arabia due to its size, ambitious plans likeSaudi Vision 2030, availability of funds and the need for moredevelopment due to rapid growth of population. Olama reiteratesthat UAE is the biggest market for district cooling with the kingdom aclose second whereas Egypt is the potential largest growth market.

According to a Global Market Insights report, in 2017, thegovernment of Dubai increased its infrastructure spending by 27 percent compared to its allocation for the previous year. In 2016, theUAE also set a budget of US$4.62bn towards infrastructuredevelopment through to 2020.

In 2016, electric chillers accounted for over 50 per cent of thedistrict cooling market. Convenient distribution networks coupledwith feasible operational costs and low electricity prices are the keyparameters that favour the technology adoption.

The district cooling market will witness strong growth owing togrowing measures impacting the reduction of fossil fuel dependency.These systems involve direct extraction of cold water from waterbodies including seas, lakes and other waterways. Ongoingdevelopment of high capacity projects including the Bahrain Baydistrict cooling plant, which aims to reduce GHG emissions by

utilising seawater as a cooling medium, will further complement theindustry outlook.

The commercial district cooling market is predicted to exceed overeight million refrigeration tonnes (RT) by 2024. Increasing privateinvestments in the development of energy efficient commercialbuilding structures to facilitate the daily needs of growing urbanpopulation will fuel business growth. In 2015, Qatar Cool expandedits district cooling plant in Doha’s West Bay neighbourhood, which ishome to Qatar’s tallest skyscrapers, high-end offices, housing luxuryapartments and hotels.

The residential district cooling market will witness strong growthowing to escalating energy prices along with a growing urbanpopulation. In 2016, Emicool announced its plan to increase itsdistrict cooling plant capacity to 500,000 RT by 2020 as a part of itsDubai Investments Park expansion.

With 72 district cooling plants located throughout the region, theNational Central Cooling Company (Tabreed) currently delivers morethan a million RT to key developments in the region including iconicinfrastructure projects such as Abu Dhabi’s Al Maryah Island, YasIsland, Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, Dubai Metro, Dubai Parks andResorts, and the Jabal Omar Development in Mecca, Saudi Arabia.

In 2016, Saudi Arabia’s district cooling market was valued overUS$1.5bn. Rising demand for energy efficient cooling systems tofacilitate green building standards will stimulate the industry size.Increasing commercial and residential construction activities acrossMecca and Riyadh, coupled with favourable government initiativesfor the deployment of district cooling systems, will furthercomplement the industry landscape. In July 2015, Mitsubishi HeavyIndustries received an order for a district cooling plant requirementfor 80 centrifugal chiller units for a development project in Medina.The plant is likely to provide 200,000 RT to an area of 1.6mn sq m.

Stringent government norms covering the development ofsustainable energy will enhance the UAE district cooling market. In2015, the government of Dubai set a goal to achieve 40 per cent ofcooling demand through district cooling systems by 2030. The targetaims to reduce power consumption of the city’s AC by 50 per cent.

Qatar’s district cooling market will grow owing to ongoinginfrastructure developments. The country has invested a significantamount over the last few years for the development of requiredinfrastructure for hosting the FIFA World Cup 2022. Qatar hasformulated plans to draw an amount of US$222bn by the year 2022for development of infrastructure projects including hotels,stadiums and other transport facilities. �

Technical Review Middle East (TRME): How did Delta District Cooling Services(DDCS) come into being?Gary Hicks (GH): All my adult life I haveworked in harsh maintenance environmentwith a background in weaponry. Ten yearsago, we created DDCS, which started out asa maintenance company and soon werealised the gap the district cooling markethas in terms of distributing and operatingsuch a plant. In most cases, the districtcooling plant owner was also the operator.However, for plants owned by individuals itwas a complex process of replying on OEMsand dealing with multiple entities, whichwas a challenge in addition to the vacuum ofresponsibility for plant efficiency createdfrom such an arrangement.

There was no commercial operator in themarket per se. So we saw an opportunityhere and decided to provide services for thedistrict cooling plants in Dubai. We are thefirst company to independently providedistrict cooling plant operations andmaintenance (O&M) services in the UAE.

TRME: So it was a move to makesomebody accountable?GH: Exactly. And also it keeps both parties –operator and maintenance provider – ontheir toes. The asset owner’s responsibilityis to see that the plant works properly andan operator’s responsibility is to ensure thatglitches do not happen in a running plant.Therefore, we also look at the testing andcommissioning side of things. DDCS runs anefficient computerised maintenancemanagement system inside the plant, whichthe client/asset owner has access to as well.They can log on to the DDCS system andcheck out what we are doing, whatmaintenance has been carried out, if andwhy there was a shutdown, how many spareparts have been used, etc.

Now one of the key things which is rarelyseen in the district cooling industry is

predictive maintenance. We are at theforefront of this. DDCS providessophisticated tools to diagnose anypotential risks and offer solutions. This iswhere our strength lies.

TRME: What is your competition like? GH: As an independent DC operator we donot see any competition because ourmotivation and goals are completelydifferent – that is to establish long-termpartnership rather than short-termcontracting. There are companies whoprovide O&M services at a much lower costthan us, but our take on it is that you getwhat you pay for. We cannot be suicidal bygoing low cost and offering services that willbackfire on the assets in a year or two.Because of the market conditions, I havewitnessed district cooling companiesemploying low cost services, but they forgetthat in the long run the asset is going to

suffer. Moreover, the service providers willnot put in money to maintain the ‘damaged’asset. And that needs to be understoodbecause they own the asset.

TRME: What is DDCS’ role in building thedistrict cooling plant?GH: After the plant has been commissionedto us, we look at the design and providesuggestions and a review. Once the designreview is done then comes commissioningmanagement. We have a project managerwho is in place throughout the construction of that plant to help theconsultant and contractor work on theinstallation and see that everything is builtas per district cooling standards andspecifications. Then we move on to testingand commissioning, after plant operationbegins. Hence you can see that we cater tothe operator from the word ‘go’.

TRME: Is a district cooling plant conceptdifferent from chiller plant? If so, how?GH: District cooling as a technology is thesame as for a chiller plant. The difference isthat the chiller plant is built as an individualproperty or facility while district coolingcaters to multiple facilities. We are districtcooling operators but we also look afterchiller plants in certain areas of Dubai.

TRME: What are the energy efficiency goalsundertaken by DDCS?GH: The whole concept of having a districtcooling plant or a chiller plant is to have anefficient use of electricity. If we do not stickto that, as our core value the purpose isdefeated as a district cooling operator.Therefore, we concentrate on developingthe skillset of engineers to come up withinnovative ideas. One such innovation fromour end is the Energy Valve.

Low ‘Delta T’ is a challenge that coulddrain away significant benefits of thedistrict cooling application. Cracking the

Delta District Cooling Services’ director of business development Gary Hicks speaks with Technical Review Middle East onwhat it takes to be the preferred operator in the district cooling industry.

low Delta T syndrome needs diligent effortand the know-how of every associatedsystems/ connected loads. We are workingwith a Swiss company to create an EnergyValve. This is basically a controlled valve,which is having a localised Delta T control.In district cooling, Delta T is referred to asthe difference between the supplytemperature and the cooling temperature.Picture this: In an apartment in Dubai,there are control valves to control the flowof air. If the sensors are faulty, the valveswill suffer as well. Ideally, the Delta Tshould be around 9ºC. Now, most of thebuildings have faulty sensors or valves thatreduce energy efficiency since the inflowand outflow of chilled water is notmonitored. When the energy valve isinstalled in one of the water lines, itcontinuously monitors the temperaturedifference. At any time, if the temperaturedrops below 9ºC, it will start reducing theamount of water flow to maintain therequired temperature. We have alreadyinstalled it in few buildings in Business Bay(in Dubai). The results look good.

TRME: Advice for someone looking atdistrict cooling sector as a career?GH: As a career in district cooling, I wouldsay it’s a comfortable job. But it also comeswith its own dangers of being complacent. Ifyou don’t really pay attention to theupdates and you don’t keep yourself abreastwith development or innovative ideas tooperate or maintain the plant, then there isa problem. As an operator you have a welldefined set of activities to execute. But ifyou are smart then you will always want tolook at the efficiency of the plant, how it hasto be improved. Also prepare tocontinuously research, do your own profileanalysis so that it can help you grow as adistrict cooling plant operator or technicianor engineer or whatever you want to be.

TRME: Can you talk about the vision of DDCS?GH:We don’t just want to be a districtcooling operator. We want to be ‘the’ districtcooling operator. We want to add value tothe system. We want to be referred to as thestandard in district cooling and that is wherewe want to see ourselves in the next five

years. Moreover, we don’t want to be acompany that only concentrates on makingprofits but be called a people-first organisation.

TRME: What is the motto of DDCS?GH: To be different. Not just be different butwe want to be ‘Intelligently Different’. That isour tagline. Everything we do, we try to dodifferently – for clients, employees. All atDDCS work with the belief that they own thecompany rather than working for the company.

TRME: Journey through the last 10 years?GH:DDCS has seen many ups and downs as astart-up company and being around bigplayers who they have their own assets, itwas a challenge to grow. But the good thingis that we have established a team now,which is robust, and can take on anychallenge. Also, we are proud to be theservice provider to other district coolingproviders and consider us as a partner ratherthan a competitor. Down the line we may ormay not own district cooling plants but theone thing we are sure of is to stick to beingthe preferred operator. �

THE PRESSURE IS on therefrigeration industry to reduce theuse of refrigerants with high global

warming potential (GWP). The MontrealProtocol originally signed in 1987 focussedon refrigerants affecting the ozone layer thatprotects our world. Without the ozone layerlife, as we know it, would not be possible.

In 2009 and years following, the big issuehad been the growing concerns about theclimate change caused by emissions ofcarbon dioxide (CO2) and a number of gasesmentioned under the Kyoto Protokol as thebasket of six gases, namely CO2, methane(CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O),hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs),perfluorocarbons (PFCs) and sulphurhexafluoride (SF6). The pathway from Dubaito Kigali on 15 October 2016, ended with anamendment to the Montreal Protocol sothat HFCs are now part of the protocol.

For many countries, the phase-out ofHCFC becomes a little more complex nowthat the new amendment includes some ofthe alternatives to HCFC-22 and introducesa phase down. The amendment is new inthe sense that the phase down is calculatedin CO2 equivalents. What will this mean forindustrial refrigeration systems?

Industrial refrigerationIndustrial refrigeration systems arecharacterised as large systems withcapacities from 100kW up to many MW. Inmany cases industrial refrigeration plants arebased on ammonia as the working fluid butthere are also man-made systems originallybased on HCFC-22. Industrial refrigerationsystems are used in a wide evaporationtemperature range from -80°C to 40°C andcondensing temperatures from 10°C to 90°C,or in some special cases, much higher.

The latter are now being phased out dueto the Montreal Protocol’s requirements. Analternative to changing the system to a newsystem is to ‘retrofit’. The term retrofit couldindicate a simple solution to the problemwhen an owner of a HCFC-22 system wantsto convert to another refrigerant. However,there are many things to consider and thereare no true retrofit refrigerants. There aresome things you have to consider and

Johnson Controls Inc. on what considerations should be made when switching to alternatives in high ambienttemperature (HAT) countries, such as the UAE.

evaluate such as the liquid lines and internalheat exchanger, which is not used in HCFC-22 systems but will benefit many systemsusing HFC.

According to the Kigali Agreement, theconsumption of HFC in CO2 equivalentsmust be reduced by up to 85 per cent by2050 as provided in Figure 1.

When we know the consumption and theCO2 equivalents we can also calculate theaverage GWP (AGWP). It is important toremember that the Kigali Agreement is not aphase out but a phase down measured inCO2 equivalent. This also means that if weconsume more, which is what is expected inthe market, and that we have to lower theemissions in CO2 equivalent then the AGWPhas to come down. In some markets, wehave seen a drastic increase on traditionalrefrigerants such as R422D and other so-called ‘drop-in’ blends. These blends have arelatively high GWP, but in systems with arelatively limited rest-operative expectedyears, it does not matter.

When it comes to new systems with anexpected operational life of 25 years ormore, it is a different story.

As shown in Table 1, you can see that witha high growth rate you will also end up witha lower AGWP. How low depends on thestarting point. AGWP depends on themarkets and the country. In the EU, theaverage GWP officially is 2,000. For a littleisland state like Maldives it is currently2,446. This is mainly because a big part ofthe refrigerant consumption is in the fishingindustry. In Dubai, it may be closer to 2,000if the consumption of refrigerant is mainlydriven by R-134a, which is very common inturbo systems used in AC chillers.

In order to retrofit it is a good idea to lookat the age of the system. Old systems can beretrofitted to a look like a solution (e.g. R-448A or R-449A). In new systems you haveto consider refrigerant blends or purerefrigerants with a GWP lower than 150 GWP.

Table 2 presents some alternatives to R-404A. Here we selected Class A1 solutions,which can be used for retrofitting A1systems without considering theflammability.

Analyse and understandIn order to avoid multiple conversions of the

system from one refrigerant to another andto maintain the usual capacity and hopefullythe same efficiency, you have to carefullyanalyse the system as if you were building anew system with the new refrigerant. Fromhere you can see what has to be done to theold system to achieve the desired capacity.

There are new refrigerants and blends inthe market to help the industry to movefrom HCFC to new solutions with lower orlow GWP. Existing systems can be convertedto lower GWP solutions while new systemsideally should be low GWP which heremeans lower than 150. �

In July 2017, the largest container vessel was welcomed atGulftainer’s Iraq Container Terminal (ICT) facility. The UAE-headquartered port logistics provider expanded its reach in Iraq

in 2008, making it the first international company to enter Iraqi portof Umm Qasr, the only large container handling port in the country.Today, the company operates three facilities in Umm Qasr; twocontainer terminals – the Iraq Projects Terminal (IPT) and the IraqContainer Terminal (ICT) – and the Umm Qasr Logistics Centre(UQLC), managed by its third party logistics (3PL) company,Momentum Logistics.

Gulftainer’s IPT, ICT and UQLC have direct access to the main Basrahighway and to major oilfields in southern Iraq. The IPT, which wasgiven under concession to Gulftainer in 2010, has seen sustainedinvestments that have enhanced productivity and enabled it to developinto a first-class facility aimed at the general break bulk and projectcargo segments. The ICT, which was commissioned to Gulftainer in2012, is one of the country’s most prominent container hubs and isthe only terminal in Umm Qasr Port with a separate gate in and gateout of the port. The ICT also has a dedicated scanner, providing animproved professional handling of trucks through the terminal.

umm Qasr logistics Centre (uQlC)UQLC, a fully integrated logistics services bonded facility, is one ofGulftainer’s flagship projects in Iraq. Located close to Umm QasrPort, the centre covers an area of 750,000 sq m and acts as a one-stop-shop for supply chain needs. UQLC offers a range of servicesfrom secure bonded warehousing and cold stores, to storagefacilities, on-site customs clearance and the Iraq Port Authorityclearance. It also includes value-added services such as theconsolidation and deconsolidation of containers, and an inlandcontainer terminal that is connected by rail and road to the rest ofIraq. Today, UQLC is more than just a logistics base, it offerscustomers complete control and an end-to-end range of services.

UQLC is a prime example of Gulftainer’s ability to combine its portsand logistics offering through its subsidiary company MomentumLogistics, 3PL provider, which has expanded its operations in Iraq and

is one of the country’s leading3PL player. Momentum’spresence in Iraq has enabledGulftainer to add considerablevalue to the services it offers itscustomers through integratedsupply chain managementsolutions. For instance, cargocan move directly from ICT into UQLC without the need for port-sidecustoms clearance.

Speaking with Technical Review Middle East, CEO Flemming Dalgaardstates that Gulftainer is committed to providing Iraq with the best port,transport and logistics links necessary for its redevelopment. Despitethe country’s challenges, Gulftainer is cautiously optimistic about themarket and continues to review new opportunities for growth in 2018.This is supported by the Iraqi government’s commitment to investing inthe transport sector, particularly in cargo.

Following an agreement on oil output cuts by OPEC members,Iraq’s GDP growth is anticipated to reach 3.4 per cent at the end of2017. Although this is a small number compared to the country’sprogress in recent years, it still reflects a strong growth in the region.

“In fact, Gulftainer’s terminals at Umm Qasr Port alone witnessed ayear-on-year growth of 13 per cent, which is a satisfactoryachievement in the Middle East region this year. Due to its excellentoperational capability Gulftainer has been able to achieve this growthby attracting new shipping lines to its facilities enabling them to servethe Iraqi market and increase their market share,” Dalgaard adds.

The recovery of global oil prices, increased oil exports, reducedgovernment expenditure and increased security are expected tosupport a positive outlook in 2018. Furthermore, the development ofthe southern oilfields, and efforts to boost the non-oil economy, areexpected to increase the GDP growth rate to 4.2 per cent in 2018.

Gulftainer, world’s largest, privately-owned, independent portoperator, has a strong global presence and business interests acrossthe Middle East, the Americas and Southeast Asia.�

An economy that is struggling to stabilise and, at the same time, expand trade ties, Gulftainer’s CEOreveals what it takes to have that competitive edge to manage the challenging Iraqi ports.

FaCilities management (Fm) and related services in theGCC are evolving on the back of the region’s real estate andinfrastructure spending over the last decade or so.

It now supports a large industry with thousands of cleaning andmaintenance companies. The term can encompass many otherareas though, in niches from reception, concierge services andlandscaping through to pest control and even call centre activities.

While the bulk of spending has been concentrated in Saudi Arabiaand the UAE, there is also sizeable business in other territories – andit is a market that appears to be growing fast.

According to previous research by wealth experts Credo, the totalspend on FM across the GCC was US$21.8bn five years ago, near theheight of the oil boom.

A more recent report, by research firm Aranca, earlier this year,says that the market could be worth more than US$50bn by 2020;other estimates reckon it could be closer to US$66bn.

While oil prices are still a concern, it cites a rise in the number ofconstruction projects, stricter regulations and technological

advancements that are encouraging the facilities managementmarket’s development.

And, with the exception of a more saturated (but still growing)UAE market, most of the GCC’s other wealthier states seem ripe forFM growth and expansion. The market size of UAE’s FM industry willhit an all-time high of US$12.49bn in 2017, according to a research.

With the global FM industry said to be worth US$1 trillion, theGCC is, in some ways at least, perhaps only in its infancy.

In Saudi Arabia, for instance, the FM market is poised for doubledigit growth over the next five years.

The Middle East Facilities Management Association (MEFMA)Report ‘FM in Saudi Arabia – an Emerging Giant’ released in May this year revealed that the kingdom continues to hold the largestshare in GCC FM spending, accounting for about 55 per cent of total expenditure.

Although the Saudi Arabian market is currently valued atUS$20bn, it is still considered to be developing in terms ofproportion to the country’s building infrastructure development,and is characterised as dependent on manpower supply services andlow-quality building maintenance. MEFMA has estimated that underone-third of the FM demand predominantly comes from the publicsector which is relying heavily on outsourced services.

Jamal Abdullah Lootah, president of MEFMA, said, “Saudi Arabia’sFM sector is rapidly developing as more properties go online in thekingdom. The regional industry has observed the different Saudimarket dynamics, with the public sector relying heavily onoutsourcing services while the private sector tends to experimentwith in-house management using traditional manpower services,

The facilities management industry is growing in the GCC although raising the bar on standardspresents a challenge. Martin Clark reports.

rather than procuring fully-integrated FM solutions. “We are confident the time is ripe for established regional FM

providers to further study the trends in the country.”Indeed, the dynamism of this segment was reflected at a high

level summit World Workplace Forum in Dubai, which attracted ahost of FM experts from across the Middle East. Almost 200participants from over 24 countries took part in the event that tookplace in May 2017.

One of the event’s prime sponsors, EFS Facilities Services,celebrated a milestone by securing more than US$1bn worth ofongoing contracts globally for the first time in its history this year.

The company is a regional leader in delivering integrated FMservices across the Middle East, as well as in Africa and south Asia.

The milestone was accomplished on the back of US$200m worthof new project wins in 2017 from various key markets, including theUAE, Saudi Arabia and Qatar.

Despite the general economic slowdown and subdued oil sector,it has notched up a commendable 21 per cent annual growth inrevenues over the last five years.

The company now manages over 350mn sq ft of built-upcommercial and residential space for several Fortune 500companies across the Middle East and other core regions. “Weforesee sustained mid-term growth in our key markets of the UAE,Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Egypt, and India, driven by the rising demandsof a growing population,” said its chief executive Tariq Chauhan.

Among the topics under discussion at the Dubai forum was theneed for more standards, and to encourage global best practice

into the region, as the industry further expands.This is a major theme being picked up by leading FM

international agencies and training bodies.In May, the International Facilities Management Association

(IFMA) and the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) – thetwo organisations behind the Dubai summit – announced apartnership to offer a combined suite of credentials andprofessional qualifications for FM in a single, convenient onlineacademy platform. It’s also a key theme in the EFS strategy for thecoming year, according to Chauhan. “2017 will also be the yearwhere we reinvigorate the training and development of ouremployees to empower us to evolve and enable us to move aheadonto the next phase of growth,” he added.

With more multi-billion dollar construction projects in thepipeline over the next few years in the GCC, analysts at Arancaexpect more growth ahead.

The ongoing transition is due to benchmarks set by multinationalcompanies to bring the facilities at par with internationalstandards,” it noted in its January 2017 report.

“Also the market is expected to witness demand for greenbuilding techniques, which involve professional maintenance ofbuildings, to focus on energy conservation.”

The report added, “With demand rising due to the lack of in-house expertise and infancy stage of the FM market in GCC, thescope of the FM market is expected to expand at a fast rate.”

Busy times ahead then for all those engaged in this fast-growingindustry niche, both within the GCC and beyond, it seems. �


Expo 2020 to drive UAE’s FM sector• Millions of visitors are anticipated to visit the country for Expo

2020 Dubai. In order to bring the country to the forefront, theUAE government is continuously upgrading its commercial aswell as tourism sectors.

• In 2016, construction projects worth US$155bn were underexecution in the country, and projects worth US$629bn areslated for completion by 2021. Post completion, these projectsare expected to boost demand for facility managementservices in the country.

• In order to host the mega-event, an estimated US$9.40bnwould be required for building multiple expo complexes acrossan area of 438 ha.

Smart weather forecastsFacilities management (FM) company Farnek is the first facilitymanager to partner with hyper-local weather forecasting servicesprovider, ArabiaWeather, to increase its efficiency and redirectresources across its FM projects to adapt to weather conditions.

ArabiaWeather’s value-adding system LandWatch, applies uniqueformulas and algorithms to generate accurate and hyper-localforecasts on developing weather patterns at any location globally.

By using a dashboard to access the data captured and processedby LandWatch, teams at Farnek will be trained to monitor conditionsin certain areas on a daily basis and advise both building owners andmanagement, of the best time to schedule work.

Markus Oberlin, CEO Farnek, said, “LandWatch allows us to makeinformed business decisions. Many FM professionals are well awareof the havoc that random and isolated weather conditions can haveon building maintenance and cleaning schedules. This is oftencompounded by just how changeable and localised weather can be.Hyper-local forecasting is very important when forecasting weather,for example, one area can differ significantly compared with theadjacent area, hour by hour. The ability to monitor hyper-localweather around specific areas creates a win-win situation for bothFM companies and building managers.”

With access to advanced data, meteorologists at ArabiaWeatherwill alert Farnek, during and after severe weather events.LandWatch can indicate when to recommence work as soon as thepoor conditions pass rather than simply postponing until the nextsuitable day. On clear days, changes in wind speed and, humidity canall be monitored using the software.

Farnek will now be the first FM company in the region to be able toschedule weather-sensitive work such as façade and windowcleaning, around adverse conditions, boosting efficiency as well ascutting costs for building owners.

50 Formworks & Scaffolding


AT THE SAUDI Build exhibition inRiyadh, from 23-26 October 2017,PASCHAL will present wall, column

and shaft formwork as well as the H20 beamfor high, horizontal concrete structures.

Given its long-standing presence in theMiddle East construction market, PASCHALis concentrating its exhibits on the primaryapplications in this region.

From its 40 sq m booth, PASCHAL willdemonstrate the practical applicationoptions, the system diversity andcompatibility of the systems and componentsfor quick and easy use in reinforced concreteconstruction (Hall 3, Booth 217). Well-trainedformwork experts with a great deal ofpractical experience will be present at thebooth to show visitors the simple handlingand also some of the numerousconstructions and projects completed.

The following products will be presentedand demonstrated at show:Modular formwork:Modular universalformwork is designed for use infoundations, walls, columns, beams, shaftsand pre-cast concrete components. As aresult of the comprehensive range ofelements, it can be used both as hand-setand large-size formwork. The modulardesign principle enables simple and quickhandling, even by unskilled labour.Modular column formwork: PASCHAL will

be exhibiting the adjustable Modularcolumn formwork with which both squareand rectangular reinforced concretecolumns with external dimensions from 20to 50cm in increments of five cm can beformed. The simple windmill principleallows the formation of a wide variety ofdifferent reinforced concrete columns fromjust a few individual panels of the adjustableModular column formwork. Depending onavailability and space constraints, theformwork systems can be moved by using acrane or dismantled into individualcomponents and transported, assembledand dismantled manually. LOGO.3: The LOGO.3 wall formwork systemwill be displayed in its steel and aluminiumversions. The robust formwork elements withprofiled flat frames stand for robustness anddurability. The elements can be used bothhorizontally and vertically. Connection of theelements is performed using a light wedgeclamp that weighs only 1.8kg, or by using amulti-clamp. The comprehensive range ofelements also includes multi-elements forcorners, columns and stop ends. Moreover,the LOGO.3 formwork system is a winnerwhen it comes to large-scale concreteconstructions with minimum tie points of just0.62 tie points/sq m.TTR: There is no alternative to theTrapezoidal girder formwork if precisely

rounded concrete constructions areplanned. Pre-assembled and pre-curvedformwork units fit exactly and are aguarantee for perfect curvatures.

The TTR Trapezoidal girder formwork,with its continuously adjustable diameterfrom two to five metres and from fivemetres to infinite, provides well-formedconcrete curvatures that correspond exactly to the specifications and drawingswhen executed. System enhancementsenable usage on sloping surfaces, andcompatibility with all additional PASCHALformwork systems enables creative and unique concrete forms to beimplemented for aesthetic reasons and/ordue to design requirements.

Pre-assembly carried out in the factoryand the low proportion of tie points of just0.28 to 0.55 tie points/sq m enable shortestpossible forming times.H20 beam: PASCHAL Deck is a versatile slabformwork for ceilings in residential andindustrial buildings. The adaptability of theH20 beam is achieved by simpleoverlapping. Therefore, it is not important ifthe beam is functioning as main beam orcross beam. The H20 beam comes in lengthsof 245cm to 600cm. The permitted shearforce of the 20 cm high wooden beam isdefined as Q=11.0 kN and the permittedbending moment as M=5.0 kNm. �

ISO8573 IS THE group of internationalstandards stipulating the quality ofcompressed air. Consisting of nine

separate parts, part one highlights theamount of contamination allowed in eachcubic metre of compressed air and theremaining eight specify the methods oftesting for a range of contaminants. Thisranges from oil aerosol content and humidity,to solid particle and oil vapour content.

Naturally, air quality is particularlyimportant in a food and beveragemanufacturing environment. Most sites willfollow recognised hazard analysis criticalcontrol point (HACCP) principles to ensurethey are complying with hygiene legislation,removing any potential hazards or reducingthese to an acceptable level. Yet, whileproduct manufacturing process arescrutinised in great detail, ancillaryprocesses and utilities can often be omitted.Crucially, this can mean potential risks fromequipment such as vacuum pumps areoverlooked.

Identifying potential risksWith vacuum systems generallylocated around the productionenvironment, a contaminatedpump exhaust can behazardous and, as a result, thisequipment should be includedwithin a facilities’ HACCPassessment. The majority of vacuumpumps currently in use are oil-lubricatedand many applications will operate withoutany problems arising. Nevertheless, there isthe potential risk of oil discharging from theexhaust of this type of pump, whichpresents a particularly significant problemin a food and beverage manufacturing plant.

In addition to oil discharge from theexhaust, there are a number of other issuesthat operators need to be aware of.

Operating at high temperatures and anopen-ended inlet port could result in oilcarrying over from the pump, while aseparator element may fail due to misuse orthrough the use of non-genuine spare parts.For this reason, it is important to work witha trusted and experienced maintenancepartner, who can help and offer supportshould these matters arise.

The potential risk of leaks from an oil-lubricated vacuum pump can be avoidedthrough a range of measures. These includeusing a food grade lubricant, fitting adownstream exhaust filter or remotelypiping the exhaust air.

Offering solutionsGardner Denver offers a free six-yearwarranty called ‘Assure’ on all new andexisting rotary vane vacuum pumps forcomplete peace of mind, as well as anextensive network of qualified engineersthat can deal with any on-site repair andmaintenance, should an issue arise. Aprofessional service centre is also available,should a pump require a morecomprehensive overhaul.

For those concerned about the risks ofoil-lubricated vacuum pumps, GardnerDenver can help identify and reduce anyrisks through a free site survey, which mayextend to working with the production teamto ensure the equipment is included in theHACCP assessment. �

Unlike compressed air applications where there are rigorous standards that dictate the quality and specification of airused during the process, there are no current standards in place for exhaust air quality from vacuum pumps. GarethTopping, vacuum sales manager at Gardner Denver, discusses why the industry needs to tackle the impact ofcontaminated air that may be generated by an unsuitable vacuum pump.

BIM IS A process involving thegeneration and management ofdigital representations of physical

and functional characteristics of places. Itstarts with understanding what the clientwants at the end of the project, how toachieve that data, streamline the process,and develop an execution plan. Whilst BIMfor construction and MEP have todaydeveloped a noticeable architecturalfootprint in the Middle East and NorthAfrica region, BIM for landscape hasn’t.

It is yet to make a strong showing on thedesigner’s stage with small pockets oflandscape architects developing their ownway of dealing with it. They tend to modelwhat they can to sidestep technical barriersand end up producing watered downversions, instead of bespoke shapes thatpush design boundaries.

According to Christopher Smeaton, BIMmanager of landscape and urban planning atInSite, part of KEO International Consultants,there are reasons why BIM for landscape isnow ready to enjoy firmer terrain.

“BIM for landscape is not in its infancy,and has been flourishing behind the scenesfor many years,” says Smeaton.

“You do not have to go far before you startto see this but only in the last couple of yearshas it really grabbed attention from the

entire architecture, engineering andconstruction industry.”

Resistance to change has typically beenthe reason why this discipline has not caughtup as quickly, but there are those who arguethat BIM lacks the proper architectural toolsneeded for robust landscape designs.

“In some respect, it’s correct because wehave to do a lot of work for the actual

modeling itself, but the process is quiteestablished and the guidelines are there toachieve client goals,” he notes.

The fact is, BIM for landscape has come along way in the last few years, with softwarethe likes of DynamoBIM, which is a visualprogramming tool for Revit – a BIM softwarecontaining features for architectural design,MEP and structural engineering, andconstruction – and Grasshopper and Rhino,which enable these complicated geometries,using scripting.

But why go through the hassles whentraditional landscape architecture canachieve tailor-made designs almost toperfection? Smeaton argues in favor of BIMfor landscape using the example of podiumprojects, where landscape sits on top of astructural or architectural element in abuilding, this being the case for a lot ofprojects here in the region.

“Working together in linked models isresulting in other disciplines having a muchgreater understanding of the challenges,”said Smeaton, adding, “We have seen one ofthe biggest advantages with coordination onpodium projects where having clear scopesand boundaries enables a closer workingrelationship with structural engineers andirrigation engineers to coordinateconnections to pump rooms and add

For landscape architects, BIM may be unnerving but failing to accept the software runs the risk of falling behindtechnology that is clearly making things easier for architects. InSite’s Christopher Smeaton explains how.

irrigation piping feeds into utility trays.”The real takeaways come from managing

processes quickly and more efficiently,having information in one swoop rather thanacross different fragmented documents andhaving information lost at differenthandover stages.

“We are able to develop schemes frommaster planning and in some projects, wehave done our master planning designsusing information models, wherein wecapture not only the 3D geometry but alsothe land use, and the ground floor areas,”explains Smeaton.

“And once this gets sent out to architects,they can pull that information from themodels, without starting from scratch tounderstand what the plot regulations are.”

Still, BIM for landscape offers its own setof challenges before it can deliverstreamlined results. “We’re not in the sameposition as architects or MEP engineers.There is no off-the-shelf software enjoyed bythese disciplines to help us build ourinformation models. So, we use a wide rangeof different software.”

Smeaton further explains that at InSite, alllandscape architects use Revit, and enjoy liveaccess to all information in one model.

“But Revit isn’t built for landscape.Building complex landform geometry isdifficult for us. We have to createworkarounds and plug-ins from smallercompanies, such as CS Artisan, to helpachieve our requirements.”

Technical challenges are one area, butthere are bigger issues when looking at

implementing BIM within a company.“One needs to look at costs, and I do not

just mean software pricing but moreimportantly company-wide training andeducation expenses,” notes Smeaton.“Implementing BIM means changemanagement that impacts all companyaspects and which needs a clear andstructured strategy and vision to gaintraction,” he maintains.

This is a process that can take companiesyears before they are BIM-compliant andmade more challenging in an ever-evolvingindustry. Regardless, failing to jump into BIMfor landscape runs the risk of falling behindtechnology that is clearly making thingseasier for architects and other disciplines.

“You can model refuge areas for yourwater and solid waste recycling needs, or usemodeling software like Irrigation F/X fromLand FX to model the irrigationrequirements, and be able to calculate flowrates, water sprays, program the sprinklersfrom the software, and generate order lists,length of pipes and connectionsrequired,”says Smeaton. �

For the fourth consecutive year, WETEX 2017 will be held under the umbrella of Green Week with more than 80international speakers addressing on the green economy, smart cities and innovation.

Promoting sustainablepartnerships

RENEWABLE AND CLEAN energysolutions and technologies are thetop priorities of the 19th Water,

Energy and Environment, TechnologyExhibition (WETEX) 2017, organised byDubai Electricity and Water Authority(DEWA) from 23-25 October. The exhibitionis being held under the directive of HHSheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum,Vice-President and Prime Minister of theUAE and Ruler of Dubai, and the patronageof HH Sheikh Hamdan bin Rashid AlMaktoum, Deputy Ruler of Dubai, ministerof finance and chairman of DEWA, toachieve Dubai’s vision of building asustainable future for the emirate.

WETEX coincides with the second DubaiSolar Show, which highlights the latestinnovations in the solar sector. The twoexhibitions will highlight DEWA’s ShamsDubai initiative, launched by HH SheikhMohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, tomake Dubai the world’s smartest and mostsuccessful city by encouraging homeownersto install PV panels connected to DEWA’snetwork on the roofs of their buildings toproduce electricity.

“WETEX 2017 and the second Dubai SolarShow are ideal platforms to showcase thelatest developments, solutions andtechnologies in the field of renewable andclean energy. Shams Dubai contributes tothe establishment of a sustainable energymodel that promotes Dubai’s economicgrowth without harming the environmentor its resources. It supports the long termnational initiative launched by HH SheikhMohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, underthe theme ‘Green Economy for Sustainable

Development’, to build a green economy inthe UAE, which contributes towards theoptimal implementation of the UAE Vision2021,” said Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, CEOof DEWA and chairman of WETEX.

“DEWA invests in innovation in the fieldsof clean and renewable energy technologies.In the words of HH Sheikh Mohammed:‘Every investment in the development ofclean energy sources is at the same time aninvestment to protect the environment forfuture generations.’ Shams Dubai is a keypart of the Dubai Clean Energy 2050, whichaims to transform the emirate into a globalcentre for clean energy and green economyand increase clean energy in Dubai to 75 percent by 2050,” added Al Tayer.

He also praised the efforts of institutionsand individuals who have participated in the

Shams Dubai initiative and have alreadyinstalled photovoltaic panels on 433buildings with a total capacity of 14.6MW.The number of panels is expected to doublein the future to eventually cover allbuildings in the emirate by 2030. This cleanenergy capacity is enough to meet thedemands of 30,000 homes, which isequivalent to a decrease of approximately150,000 tonnes of carbon emissions peryear, equivalent to planting 170,000 newtrees annually.

WETEX includes a range of activitiesrelated to the consumption of water,energy, and environmental conservation,waste management, green buildings, as wellas the latest cutting-edge solutions to lowerCO2 emissions.

The exhibition also provides a uniqueplatform for businessmen, investors,government decision-makers, consumersand business partners interested in thepublic and private sectors.

RECENT DATA INDICATES thatenergy demand in the MiddleEast rose by between seven and

eight per cent in recent years. Futuredemand is expected to rise at the same rateand, according to current estimates,demand will top 1,000 terawatts in 2017. As a result, energy supplies will need todouble every decade. Over the next 10years, the Gulf States will require 100 GW ofadditional energy.

At the Intersolar Middle East Conferencewhich took place on 26-27 September 26 inDubai, 86 international speakers presentedpast, present and future PV marketdevelopments. A total of 408 attendeesmade the Intersolar conference the biggeststandalone PV conference in the region.

With an aim to provide a unique platformfor the region’s solar power development,the conference enabled the stakeholdersand decision makers to network and discussstrategies and collaborate to grow theirbusinesses in the region.

In line with Dubai’s aim to transform as aleader for the adoption of electric vehicles(EV), the conference organised a specialsession on EV where delegates learnt aboutrecent and future EV market developments.

The special EV session addressed thepossible expansion scenarios to be

examined, including domestic strategies tostimulate demand for electric vehicles,existing support schemes and legislativefactors, said the organisers. The conferencefurther discussed all the latest EVtechnology developments and anticipatedregional trajectories have also beendiscussed with knowledge and purpose,according to the source.

“We are working on a road map toexpedite a 15 per cent reduction by 2020 ofcarbon emissions,” said UAE minister ofenergy Suhail Mohammad Faraj Al Mazrouiin July, whose plan also includes 10 per centand 20 per cent targets for EV adoptionwithin the government’s own fleet.

Intersolar Middle East also focused on theuse of inverters in smart power systems andthe innovative use of drones and robots toincrease safety and efficiency. Additionally,the conference provided insights to develop

a path towards a clean, profitable andindependent solar energy future.

“The solar market is booming in the GCCregion and further afield. We wanted toprovide the industry with a unique platform,and thus Intersolar started with summitsand conferences in the Middle East in 2012,”explained Daniel Strowitzki, CEO of FMMI,one of the organisers.

In 19 sessions, attendees received thelatest technology and market updates in theMENA region, but also globally. PV PowerPlants and energy storage were once againthe blockbuster sessions. “This conferenceis different from others in the region,” saidRakesh Shastri, communication manager atABB MEA and one of the sponsors of theconference. “It covered many topics outsidethe box as e.g. African markets and thequality of the networking partners was veryhigh-level,” he added.�

The conference focuses on PV, PV production technologies and energy storage systems, with an aim to become the mostimportant platform for manufacturers, suppliers, distributors, service providers and partners in the global solar industry.

the tOrkel 900 is Megger’s latest battery discharge tester, which givesthe most comprehensive results when testing battery capacity. thetOrkel 900 series is the fourth generation product, and a new way toregulate the discharge current has been introduced with the benefit of aworld-leading dynamic power/voltage range. Furthermore, the new designhas enhanced safety features including spark-free connection andemergency safety fuse.

the tOrkel concept was released in 1980s as the first portable batterydischarge tester that had automated resistance regulation to be able tokeep constant current. stationary back-up batteries are present insubstations and also many other areas. the tOrkel 900 series is used toperform load tests or discharge tests, which is the only way to determine abattery system’s actual capacity. tests can be conducted at constantcurrent, constant power, constant resistance or in accordance with a pre-selected load profile. together with the cell voltage logger, BVM, nowconnected directly to the tOrkel 900, it becomes a complete stand-alonedischarge test system.

the tOrkel is connected to the battery, the discharge current and thealarm levels (voltage, capacity, time) are set. after starting the dischargetOrkel keeps the current constant at the preset level. When the voltagedrops to a level slightly above the final voltage, tOrkel issues an alarm. ifthe voltage drops so low that there is a risk for deep discharging of thebattery, tOrkel shuts down the test. all values are stored in tOrkel andcan easily be transferred via a usB stick to a Pc for evaluation.

testing can be carried out without disconnecting the battery from theequipment it serves. Via a dc clamp-on ammeter, tOrkel measures totalbattery current while regulating it at a constant level.

Furthermore, the high discharge capacity of tOrkel gives theopportunity to shorten the test time. discharging can take place at up to220a, and if higher current is needed, two or more tOrkel units or extraload units (tXl) can be linked together.

Passing NFPA 285 test requirementsNFPA 285 is the standard fire test methodfor evaluation of fire propagationcharacteristics of exterior non-load-bearing wall assemblies containingcombustible components. This standardprovides a standardised fire testprocedure for evaluating the suitability ofexterior, non-load bearing wall assembliesand panels used as components of curtainwall assemblies that are constructed usingcombustible materials or that incorporate

combustible components for installationon buildings where the exterior walls arerequired to be non-combustible.

The NFPA 285 test on Tiger Profiles’panels was conducted for thedetermination of fire propagationcharacteristics of a PIR insulatedconcealed fix wall panel system. TigerProfiles’ concealed fix wall panels andfaçade insulated panels have both passedthe stringent NFPA test requirements. Itsfaçade panels are able to successfully passthe criteria for the NFPA tests used both inhorizontal and vertical orientation, thusproving that the products are premiumand ideally used in many iconic projects.

ASTM E84:Tiger Profiles’ products also underwentmultiple testing in late 2016 and early 2017on naked foam cores and double skinpanels (two metal facings). The exposedcore, concealed fix and faced panels arenow classified as Class 1 or A. This fire-testresponse standard for comparative surfaceburning behaviour of building materials isapplicable to exposed surfaces such aswalls and ceilings.

Adry-type transformer (DDT)is a safe, low maintenance andenvironmental-friendly solution

suitable for indoor and outdoorapplications. It is also compact in sizecompared to a liquid-filled transformer,making it suitable for hard-to-access areasor those with limited space such as windturbines, offshore platforms, indoor undunderground substations, industrial plantsand even high-rise buildings.

dry-type transformerUnlike liquid-filled transformers, where theelectrical core and coils are cooled with oil,silicone or another liquid dielectric, dry typetransformers are air-cooled. The dry-typetransformer’s case is ventilated to allow airto flow and cool the coils.

alternative method used forassessing insulation condition The primary concern with all types oftransformers, and also the key indicator oftheir life expectancy, is the condition of thetransformer’s insulation system.

For dry-type transformers, the insulationsystem consists of cast resin winding, thecore insulation and the termination systeminsulation. The structural strength andinsulating properties of materials used forthese insulation systems degrade over timethrough normal ageing. They can alsodegrade prematurely as a result ofoverheating as well as mechanical andelectrical stresses.

Dissolved gas analysis (DGA) is the mostcommonly used method for determiningwinding insulation condition in oil-typetransformers, but is not possible for dry-type transformers.

Compared with other possible diagnosticmeasurements, including adissipation/power factor measurement,partial discharge (PD) testing can mosteffectively detect the presence and locationof PD activity and resulting insulationdefects in a dry-type transformer. Analysisof the PD measurements gathered can beused as a guide to the condition of theinsulation and for determining the need for

repair or replacement before a failure andcostly outage occurs. The results can betrended to chart the rate of insulationdegradation between consecutive tests.

High-voltage source required for off-line testsTo determine the insulation condition of adry-type transformer, a high-voltage (HV)source is required in order to perform off-line partial discharge (PD) measurements orAC voltage withstand tests. However, suchan HV source is often not convenientlyavailable, especially for field testing. In thiscase, the induced voltage test can beperformed as an alternative to build up therequired voltage level.

The induced voltage test requires thetransformer core to be energised in order toinduce the test voltage on the HV side. Toaccomplish this, the external voltage sourceis connected to the low-voltage (LV) side ofthe transformer under test to induce thetest voltage on the HV side.

a lightweight and portable HVsource for on-site testingIn addition to availability issues, thetraditional type of HV sources used for off-site testing are also very large, cumbersomeand expensive to transport. They are alsooften impractical for testing in areas withlimited space.

As an alternative, OMICRON’s modularand mobile CPC 100 testing system can be

used as an HV source for induced voltagetests on dry-type transformers. Configurablematching transformers enable you toachieve different voltage levels on the LVside of a dry-type transformer. Eachmatching transformer can output amaximum power of five kVA. This applies toa frequency range from 15 Hz to 400 Hz.

The CPC 100 unit itself weighs only 29kgand comes in a transport case with wheels.The compact design and low weight of notonly the CPC 100, but also the matchingtransformer makes the entire setup easy to transport and use for on-site testing inareas that are difficult to access or havelimited space.

multi-functional testing forsubstations and industrial plantsIn addition to serving as a mobile HV sourcefor on-site testing, the CPC 100 can also beused to perform a variety of standard andadvanced diagnostic tests for commissioningand maintenance on primary assets such aspower transformers, current and voltagetransformers, circuit breakers andswitchgear, rotating machines, groundingsystems, as well as cables and transmissionlines. It can replace several individual testdevices, which also saves you time andmakes it a viable economical alternative.

For a combined induced voltage test andPD measurement, the CPC 100 unit and amatching transformer are connected to theLV side of the transformer under test toenergise one winding at a time. PD activity isevaluated by recording the induced chargeswith the PD measurement system, such asOMICRON’s MPD 600 system, via coupling

capacitors, which are connected to thetransformer’s HV terminals. The end of thetested winding is grounded.

When more power is neededAs in the case of dry-type transformers, thepower required to energise the test objectitself can often exceed the power ratings ofonly one CPC 100. The number of CPC 100devices, needed to energise the transformerand induce the test voltage depend on thecore losses and reactive power intake.

This situation can be resolved in that thepower output can be easily multiplied inorder to have a sufficient HV source forinduced voltage testing. This isaccomplished using the Sync function of theCPC 100, which allows synchronisation of upto three CPC 100 devices with matchingtransformers to create an HV source with up to 15kVA.

Using the CPC 100 Sync function, themeasurement setup previously describedremains unchanged except for the configurationof the voltage source on the LV side.

By connecting several matchingtransformers in series, the overall outputvoltage can be increased, resulting in a three-fold increase in test voltage. Connectingmultiple CPC 100 devices can be done eitherby a serial or parallel connection of thematching transformers. The first option willincrease the maximum output voltage whilethe latter will increase the output current ofthe system.

Low disturbance levelsThe challenge with the PD measurement ontransformers is that PD signals are of lowmagnitude, and getting the basic noise leveldown in the field to where you can see PDactivity is not so simple.

To solve this, the CPC 100 comes with afrequency-variable amplifier. This allows youto tune the frequency in order to bringdown the reactive power intake to aminimum so that it does not interfere withPD measurements. OMICRON’s MPD 600 PDmeasurement system also features variousadvanced tools, such 3PARD (3-phaseamplitude relation diagram), that effectivelyseparate various PD sources from noise formore reliable analysis of PD activity.

A practical exampleA manufacturer of dry-type transformersrecently received a request from a customerto conduct on-site PD testing at an indoorhydroelectric power station built into the sideof a mountain. The customer at the powerstation wanted verification of the insulationcondition after its dry-type transformerswere put into operation for a period of time.Since a gas-in-oil analysis is not possible inthese transformers, off-line PD measurementwas the only other diagnostic tool mostappropriate to assess the insulation state.

All of the dry-type transformers were takenout of service for the test and energised usingthe CPC 100 and matching transformer as avoltage source, but the dry-type transformerswere all so large that the required power toenergise them exceeded the power ratings ofjust one CPC 100 device. To solve this, theCPC Sync function was used to create apowerful and scalable HV source.

Flexible and modular setupThree CPC 100 units with the CPC Syncfunction and three matching transformerswere used to excite each of the dry-typetransformers. The PD measurement wasthen carried out phase by phase with a one-channel MPD 600 system.

The test setup used on site consisted ofcomparatively little equipment. The

alternative would have been to bring a largeand bulky HV source in on a truck, whichwould have been very difficult to bring intothe indoor power plant. Instead, only thethree small and transportable CPC 100units, the matching transformers, the PDmeasurement system and a few PDmeasurement accessories were needed. Itwas easy to ship to the location, transport tothe measurement site and to set up in thelimited workable space available.

Efficient testing procedureOnly two and a half days were required forsetup and PD testing on all of the dry-typetransformers. Before starting the test, thePD detection system had to be calibrated.Therefore, a voltage and a charge calibrationwere performed using the two kV output ofthe CPC 100 to obtain the voltage dividerfactor of the PD measuring system. Aftereverything was set up and the adjustmentswere made to minimise interference, themeasurements could be performed quicklyand efficiently.

The PD data was reviewed directly aftereach measurement and data streams wererecorded for reporting. All of thetransformers were in good condition withno noticeable PD activity. �

InternationaL standards for safetymanufacturer of aluminium scaffolds ensure thatmanufacturers are producing Kitemark quality

certified or GS Mark certified scaffold towers. Theseproduct and service quality certifications ensure theseproducts are manufactured to the best possible quality,following quality production procedures and ensuringstringent quality control, as well as product traceabilityin any cases of faulty manufactured products.

According to Ascend Access System Scaffolding, anumber of local manufacturers in the Middle Easthave been producing scaffolding equipment thatcould prove to be faulty, potentially leading toaccidents, scaffold collapses and severe injuries foroperators. The scaffold work platform quality andplywood standard is a very important standard foroptimum load bearing capacity and plywood qualitymust be certified EN1995-1-1.

To ensure safety standards are adhered to, Dubai-based manufacturer of movable aluminiumscaffolding and ladders, Ascend Access System,introduced an easy-to-erect platform ladder and anew safety system. The company says that thanks tocontinuous research and development in aluminiumscaffolding, its innovative products have been craftedto last longer and for greater ease of assembly.

The rolling platform ladder aimed specifically forexhibition stand builders and interior decorators.Being lightweight, the platform ladder is easy to erectand fold by just one person. It is available in different

adjustable working heights. The platform ladder hasbeen designed in accordance with the latest healthand safety standards and is very compact for storageand easy to transport, says the company.

Ascend also introduced the ‘Advanced Guard Rail’(AGR), designed as a collective fall prevention systemwhen assembling or erecting mobile access towers.The AGR is mounted on the external edge of the towerbefore the working platform is installed. The systemhas been designed to be safer than assembling atower using the usual 3T (through the trap) method.Although the 3T method is still widely accepted as asafe means of tower assembly, more sites across theUAE and Qatar are now insisting on AGRs being used,says the company. AGR frames are fully compatiblewith Ascend’s standard mobile access towers. TheAGR is available for DIY as well as industrial towersand can be used on narrow as well as wide towers.

Ascend has started the process of having its mobileaccess towers recognised by KitemarkTM, a registeredtrademark awarded by the British StandardsInstitution for products that have demonstratedstandards for quality and safety, and which is one ofthe most recognised symbols of quality and safety.

The company says that it is the only mobile accesstower manufacturing company in the Middle East thatis an associated member of the UK’s ‘PrefabricatedAccess Suppliers Manufacturers’ Association’(PASMA), which is the lead trade association for themobile access tower industry. �

How to get accurate distance relay settings with e� ciency.

In the past, our customers used calculation methods when determining line impedance. Unfortunately, these theoretically calculated values were often inaccurate. With our CPC 100 + CP CU1 test system, you can measure the actual line impedance values and precisely set your distance relays accordingly. And the best thing in my opinion is: it’s lightweight enough to be carried by one person.
