IN A SPEECH delivered on his behalf at the Thomson ReutersAccelus 6th GCC Regulators' Summit, His Excellency Sheikh SaadBen Hamad Almardouf Alsaidi, Minister of Commerce andIndustry, and Chairman of the Capital Market Authority, said: ”Itis extremely urgent and necessary that the GCC countries adopt aunified economic, financial and legislative stand within the

international organizationsparticularly IOSCO (InternationalOrganization of SecuritiesCommissions) so that they couldpositively influence the region.” His Excellency said this would in turn“develop the legal and regulatoryframeworks for the financial marketsand adapt them according to themarkets' needs and circumstances inline with the interest andrequirements of the Gulf commonmarket.”There was also a clear call to up-skillthe local workforce. “We all are aware

of the importance of the regional human capital for theadvancement of the securities markets. This requires upgrading theskills of the Gulf workforce and providing it with specializedprofessional skills that would promote the securities markets’contribution in the national economies and enhance the Gulfpopulations’ capacities, ambitions and needs,” His Excellency said.

LEBANON’S TRADE DEFICITwidened by 23 per cent in2011 as the value of fuelimports soared on higheroil prices and exportsstagnated, according to areport from Byblos Bank. Itshowed that the tradedeficit reached US$17billion by the end of theyear up US$3.2 billion fromUS$14 billion in 2010. Thetotal value of importsreached US$20.2 billion,increasing 12.2 per centfrom 2010 levels. The chiefreason behind the increasein the deficit was thesoaring price of oil globally,the report said. The reportsaid the higher deficit didnot reflect a significantincrease in the volume ofimports. Exports to Egyptdropped 66 per cent, whileexports to Syria saw a lessacute three per cent fall.

ACCORDING TO A recent study conducted by McGill ConsultingGroup, significant number of companies in the GCC were forced toimplement major cost cutting measures in the wake of economicdownturn.

The cost cutting measures also proved that the worst scenarioin the region is not over yet. It is also being reported that 58 percent of companies in the GCC admitted holding out from costcutting during the past three years.

In the UAE, 34 per cent of businesses have been forced tocut down 11-20 per cent of their overall budget during the lastthree years.

The latest study from the consulting firm also looked into costcutting behaviours of firms in the region and uncovered how

financial decision makers of regional firms are combatting theshifting demands.

The report also revealed details about companies in eachregion of the Middle East on how they are coping up with globalmarket pressures and devising long term stability strategies.

According to the McGill study, about 20.14 per cent of the UAEbusinesses focused largely on cost cutting during recession.Around 18.51 per cent of UAE firms are largely focusing on cuttingHR spending in coming years. The study also revealed that 35 percent of firms in the UAE have invested between US$2mn andUS$5mn in cost cutting.

Apart from HR, departments like marketing, sales and logisticsare also among the hardest hit in the UAE.

GCC firms undergo cost cutting to offset impact of economic downturn

■ THE WORLD TRADE Organisation(WTO) has urged the UAE toliberalise its foreign investmentregime and scrap laws that givelocal companies a monopoly inthe sale and distribution offoreign branded goods. In astatement following theconclusion of the UAE's secondTrade Policy Review (TPR) withthe WTO - six years after the firstreview in 2006 - WTO officialsstressed that changes to theCommercial Companies andCommercial Agencies Law werestill needed. "They [WTOmembers] encouraged the UAE tospeed up the promulgation of itsnew law on the liberalisation offoreign investment andmodernise the businessenvironment," said EduardoMunoz, the chairman of theWTO's Trade Policy Review Body."Members also encouraged theUAE to eliminate localservices/agent requirements, andto increase the transparency,accountability, and effectivenessof government administration."

ANALYSIS OF THE GCC banking sector performed by QNB Groupconcludes that its prospects are stable, banks are expected toremain profitable and that the sector itself has room for growth.Total assets in the sector rose by 8.9 per cent in 2011 to US$1.46trillion, equivalent to 106 per cent of regional GDP. Bycomparison, assets in the UK equal 341 per cent of its GDP. Thissuggests that there is still plenty ofroom for GCC assets to grow in relativeterms.GCC banking assets have beengrowing strongly in recent years,except for a slow period in 2009, at acompound annual growth rate of 7.5per cent from 2007-11. This growth inbanking assets is a consequence ofthe region's economic boom, drivenby high oil prices.The UAE has the largest share ofregional assets, 31 per cent of thetotal. Saudi Arabia's banking sector isin second place, with 28 per cent ofGCC assets, but it is the smallest inrelative terms, at around 71 per cent of GDP.Part of the reason why Saudi assets are smaller in relativeterms is the importance of its specialized non-bank creditinstitutions, such as the Public Investment Fund. Thesefulfill typical financing and lending functions and theircombined assets that are close to half those of the formalSaudi banking sector.Qatar's banking sector, meanwhile, saw the most rapid increase

in assets during 2011, growing by 22.3 per cent. It looks set tomove ahead of Bahrain (an offshore financing hub) to take thirdplace in the region by asset size, having previously overtakenKuwait in 2010.Domestic banks hold the majority of assets in each country,with the exception of Bahrain where foreign banks hold 57 per

cent. For the region as a whole, 83 percent of assets are held by domesticbanks in their home countries.The asset quality of the GCC bankingsector is generally good and has beenimproving in those places thatexperienced some credit problemsfollowing the 2008 financial crisis. Theregional non-performing loan (NPL)ratio was 4.6 per cent, at end-2010, themost recent year with data for thewhole region. It ranged from a low oftwo per cent in Qatar to a high of 8.9per cent in Kuwait, based on IMF data.In addition to this, GCC regulatorshave encouraged banks in recent

years to adopt more conservative provisioning policies for NPLs.This has helped to clean up their balance sheets and hasimproved coverage ratios.The GCC's banking sector is in a good position to support theongoing development of the region.Strong GDP growth, which QNB Group forecasts will average 4.6per cent in real terms for the GCC in 2012-13, will increase thedemand for bank financing across the economy.

Regional banking sector stable and profitable, says QNB

THE GULF REGION continued to create jobsdespite the impact of Arab Spring in 2011, withSaudi Arabia topping the list followed by Qatarand Oman, GulfTalent.com said in its 2012edition of ‘Employment and Salary Trends in theGulf’. Around 62 per cent of firms in the Kingdomincreased their headcount last year compared to55 per cent the previous year, while just eight percent of companies in neighbouring Bahraincreated new jobs, compared to 23 per cent in2010, the online recruitment agency said. Justover half (56 per cent) of companies in Omanhired new staff in 2011, down one per cent on theprevious year. Qatar saw 51 per cent ofemployers creating new jobs, reflecting thecontinued strength of the economy. In Kuwait,the percentage of firms that created new jobs in2011 more than doubled compared to the yearbefore, rising by 26 per cent to reach 51 per cent.The UAE and Qatar remain the most popular Gulfstates for expatriate workers while the oil andgas, healthcare and retail sectors saw the largestheadcount expansion last year, while bankingand construction fared the worst.Over the same period, the UAE also saw thenumber of companies creating new jobs jump by15 per cent to reach 37 per cent.

The survey noted that Dubai’s share of regionalrecruitment activity had started to increase aftera two-year slowdown, due to a combination ofjobs growth and churn.

In Bahrain, however, severe political tensionscontinue to negatively impact the job market.The survey said only eight per cent of firmsreported any new jobs being created last year,down from 23 per cent in 2010.Moreover, the survey said the UAEstrengthened its position as the most populardestination among Gulf-based expatriates,with Dubai overwhelmingly remaining the mostattractive city.

THE FINANCE COMMITTEE in the Iraqi Council of Representativeswarned recently about the deterioration of the Iraqi economy dueto the low exchange rate of the dinar to the US dollar, assuringthat proposals are underway to get the country back on its feet,reported AKnews.

Committeemember ShawrashMustafa said thecommittee began tostudy thedeterioration of theIraqi dinar exchangerate and put in placeseveral proposals tohalt the crisis. He didnot say what these

proposals were, but that they will be delivered to the Ministry ofFinance and Iraqi Central Bank (ICB).

The ICB has issued strict regulations on its sale of dollars, dueto restrictions on trade with both Iran and Syria.

Azzaman reported that the dinar’s depreciation had promptedthe Central Bank to intervene by increasing supply of dollars andwithdrawing dinars from the market. The operation is supportedby estimated foreign currency reserves of US$62 billion, whichCentral Bank Deputy Governor Mudher Saleh said is sufficient tocover 120 per cent of the value of local currency in circulation atcurrent exchange rate.

A NEW REPORT from Saudi American Bank Group (SAMBA)showed that real GDP growth in the GCC will remain healthy in2012, forecast to grow by 4.2 per cent, but growth will remainlower than the 7.3 per cent achieved in 2011.

“Overall we now project that GCC growth will hold up at 4.2 percent in 2012, following over seven per cent growth in 2011, as arevised positive contribution from oil sectors combines withsustained non-oil growth driven in large part by high publicspending,” the report highlighted.

The report said Qatar and Saudi Arabia would be the strongestperformers with growth rates upgraded to 5.7 and 4.4 per centrespectively.

The UAE economy is projected to grow by around 3.5 per centin 2012 as a result of strong performance in Dubai’s non-hydrocarbon sectors and massive public spending by AbuDhabi. The report forecast the UAE’s budget surplus at aroundseven per cent of GDP and the current account at nearly 13.8per cent in 2012.

OMAN RECORDED ONE of its largest fiscal surpluses last yearaccording to figures from the Omani ministry of nationaleconomy.

The figures showed thatOman’s budget balancerecorded a huge surplusof US$ 2.4 billion in 2011a vast improvement over2010 when the countryregistered a deficit of US$126.9mn.A major contributingfactor was high oil priceswhich has boosted the

country’s total actual revenue by about 44.6 per cent to US$29.73billion from US$ 20.57 billion in 2010. Actual public expenditureincreased by nearly 8.8 per cent to US$ 22.5 billion in 2011 fromaround US$ 20.7 billion in 2010, the report highlighted.

THE INTERNATIONAL AIR TransportAssociation (IATA) increased its profitoutlook for Middle East airlines toUS$500 million but downgraded itsforecast for the industry overall.The IATA predicted that Middle Eastairlines will post profits of US$500mnin 2012 as compared to US$300mnprojected in December 2011.“Financial performance was alreadyseen to be better than previouslyexpected in 2011, with an upgrade fromUS$400mn to US$1 billion. In thepassenger business, load factors haveimproved by a slowdown in theintroduction of new capacity, and longhaul markets have been relativelyrobust,” the IATA added.The IATA downgraded airlinesprofitability outlook primarily due torising oil prices. It expects airlines toturn a global profit of US$3 billion in2012 for a 0.5 per cent margin. ThisUS$500 million downgrade from theDecember forecast is primarily drivenby a rise in the expected average priceof oil to US$115 per barrel, up from thepreviously forecast US$99. “2012 continues to be a challenging

year for airlines. The risk of aworsening Eurozone crisis has beenreplaced by an equally toxic risk—rising oil prices. Already the damage isbeing felt with a downgrade in industryprofits to US$3 billion,’’ said Tony Tyler,IATA‘s Director-General and CEO.IATA revised upwards its estimatedprofits for 2011 to US$7.9 billion fromthe previously forecast US$6.9 billion. The major driver of reduced profitabilityis rising oil prices. High oil prices willpush fuel to 34 per cent of averageoperating costs and see the overallindustry fuel bill rise to US$213 billion.

Political tensions in the Gulf regionincrease the risk of significantly higheroil prices, the implications of whichcould put the industry into losses.Overall capacity (passenger and cargocombined) is expected to grow by 3.2per cent in 2012 (based on announcedschedules) which is behind the 3.6 percent expected expansion in demand.This is a reversal of the expectation inDecember of capacity expansion (3.1per cent) outstripping demand (2.9 percent). Both passenger load factors andaircraft utilisation have returned to pre-recession levels.

Profit outlook for regional airlines increased to US$500mn

LLEVITON HAS BEEN operating inthe Middle East for around threeyears and initially “offerednetwork solutions, but we soon

initiated a sales and support effort inlaunching our lighting and energysolutions,” said Sherbo.

The company offers sustainable andintelligent solutions in wiring devices,lighting controls and networkinfrastructure.

According to Sherbo, lightingcontrols have seen a tremendousgrowth in the Middle East over the lastfew years. This growth has come withheightened awareness of “greensolutions and buildings.”

He explained that it took him bysurprise that in a region where powercosts are remarkably low that thedemand for energy saving products wasvery high. The interest came in initiallyfrom places like Kuwait and KSA andespecially for government installations.

“We started selling only sensors firstwhich are great basic level solutions forenergy conservation. They are simple infunction and easy to install and we offera range of occupancy sensing products.”

Sherbo said that Leviton’s business isseeing growth overall in the region withincreased interest in their lightingcontrol solutions, and “we are nowintroducing sub-meters that measureelectricity consumption and thesegrowing in volume. But if you look at

percentage growth, then wireless iscoming on very strong.”

This growth has seen Leviton expandtheir operations in the region. Thecompany has this year added two peoplein Saudi Arabia and one in the UAE. “Thisshows we are growing.”

Impact of wireless“One of the ways that we provideinnovative solutions for sensing isthrough the wireless function. Ourwireless products are pretty unique,”Sherbo added.

“Wireless devices are extremelyuseful in existing buildings and they area very good solution to save energy.They are more expensive thantraditional devices and this is why it has

been a bit of a long haul to get wirelesssolutions universally adopted.”

Sherbo explained that the wirelessmarket has had a slow uptake in UAE butit is the fastest growing element inLeviton product line in terms ofpercentage of growth.

One of the main reasons for the slowuptake of wireless is that the MiddleEast has not seen muchimplementation of energy solutions inexisting buildings, apart from standalone occupancy sensing.

“We see the real concentration ofenergy saving lighting controls in newconstruction primarily and in this sense,the region is swiftly joining the rest ofthe world in terms of adopting energysolution strategies,” claimed Sherbo.

This push for energy efficientbuildings in new builds can be seenacross the GCC. Dubai is implementing itand Abu Dhabi wants to implementsome kind of energy saving solution withthe large number of constructionprojects going on in the emirate.

According to Sherbo, the biggestmarket in the region is in Saudi, which isalso Leviton’s biggest market. Most ofthe new build in the Kingdom includesenergy saving solutions and he claimed

that the majority of the new mega citiesand universities are all implementingenergy saving strategies.

Last year Leviton purchased QuantranSystems Limited, a well-known UKcompany, which has provided lightingcontrol systems to key markets acrossthe region.

The acquisition has enabled Levitonto strengthen its presence globally inthe commercial lighting controlsystems sector and this has certainlybeen the case in Qatar with a numberof high profile projects being workedon in the region.

Importance of sub-metering “Sub metering is a huge new thing forus and a more natural fit for the region.As energy awareness and conservationgrows this sector will only becomemore important.”

Sherbo said that the company enteredthe sub-metering business last year afterbuying a company in the US and theyhave now acquired a second company inthe field.

This is now being integrated into theoverall Leviton business and is part ofthe data aggregation division. Data from

the sub-meters are aggregated andbranched out on to a backnet or IPserver.

One of the major impacts that submetering has is its physiological impacton a business or an individual and theways it will change people’s behaviourby the knowledge that a metering systemis in place. Consumption will dropdramatically because they know they arebeing monitored.

“A metering system is there to tell youif you are successful and this is why submetering is such an integral part of LEEDand green buildings. It is one thing tosay I am going to save this amount ofenergy and it is another to prove it,”concluded Sherbo. ■

DDESPITE THE CHALLENGING economic environment thataffected the region’s construction sector in 2011 theGCC had an impressive pipeline of around US$1.8trillion worth of construction projects. Growth in the

GCC's construction markets is recovering but is still far from pre-crisis levels, a new report by Alpen Capital has said.

A major contributing factor in Saudi’s improving economicenvironment has been the increase in foreign investment inthe country’s construction sector. According to the AlpenCapital report, Saudi Arabia and UAE attracted 82 per cent ofthe total foreign direct investment (FDI) in the regionbetween 2003 and 2008.

In terms of projects awarded, Saudi is the region's busiestmarket across all key sectors, from infrastructure to power andgas, said Standard Chartered Bank in a report. In 2011, newprojects awarded in Saudi Arabia totaled US$69 billionaccounting for 55 per cent of the total US$124 billion of projectsawarded in the GCC countries.

The Kingdom's share of a total potential pipeline of US$172billion projects in the Gulf was around US$61 billion this year. Ithas already awarded US$8.4 billion of projects since thebeginning of the year, Standard Chartered Bank added.

“Diversifying into non-oil sectors like construction has been apriority for the governments of the GCC countries and we expectthe sector to grow further on the back of robust growth drivers likepositive economic outlook, increased government spending andincreasing population,” Rohit Walia, chief executive officer, AlpenCapital Group said.

Government spending in Saudi on nonoil infrastructureprojects is likely to be 7 per cent higher than last year, StandardChartered Bank said.

The sheer size of Saudi Arabia also means that largeinfrastructure projects are spread out across the whole Kingdom.The holy city of Mecca is receiving a lot of attention in terms oninfrastructure projects with the government announcing in 2011that it would spend US$26.6 billion on implementinginfrastructure and housing projects in the city.

A major trend in Saudi Arabia has been a shift to providingaffordable homes to the low and middle income grouppopulation. Currently, there is a shortfall in the supply ofaffordable homes across the GCC, although there is anoversupply of housing (like apartment, villas) for higher-income

group population. Jones Lang LaSalle has estimated shortage ofmore than 3.5mn such houses across the MENA region suggeststhe importance of this segment.

The focus of the governments of the GCC countries hasshifted from the high income groups to the middle and lowincome groups, which are largely under-supplied. Saudi Arabiahave already announced the construction of affordable homesin the country catering to the low and middle income group ofthe population.

The residential construction market of Saudi Arabia remainedlargely immune to the downturn in the construction sector for amajor part of 2011, with a marked imbalance between demandand supply of residential units. The region witnessed the start of

several large and small residential projects in the last two years. Accepting shortage of affordable homes as a serious issue post

the recent Arab Spring, King Abdullah announced theconstruction of 500,000 affordable homes in various provinces ofSaudi Arabia in March 2011. Only 35 per cent of Saudi nationalsown a home and low and middle-income households compriseapproximately 80 per cent of the current unmet housing demandstated the National Commercial Bank Capital.

Alpen Capital stated: “We expect both, the residential as wellas commercial office construction market of Saudi Arabia to showpositive growth trends in the next five years on the back of risingpopulation and a booming economy.”

Budget surplusA big factor behind Saudi’s massive infrastructure programme isthe country’s high budget surplus which has provided thegovernment with unprecedented revenues and expenditurelevels. According to a report on Saudi Arabia by GlobalInvestment House,

Saudi posted the second highest surplus in the decade in 2011.In 2001, Saudi Arabia reported an actual budget surplus of

US$2 billion against earlier projections of a deficit of US$10.6billion. The primary reason for this budget surplus was the higher

oil prices which helped push the country’s fiscal balance up by2.5 times against that seen in 2010 forming 14.1 per cent of theGDP as against 6.5 per cent in 2010.

The government has maintained its expansionary stance for2012, announcing an expenditure of US$187 billion as againstUS$214 billion spent during 2011. The government hadannounced an expenditure of US$154 billion for 2011 but endedoverspending by US$60 billion.

The 2012 budget allocates US$45 billion to the educationsector, including 742 new schools and 40 new colleges. Healthcare was allocated US$23.1 billion and includes 17 new hospitals,in addition to the 130 under construction. Infrastructurespending includes US$9.4 billion for transport; projects includethe expansion of a number of the country's airports, and theconstruction of close to 4,000 km of roads, reported StandardChartered Bank.

Cement demandThe cement sector in Saudi Arabia has been a major gainer fromSaudi’s big infrastructure push as strong cement demand andincreased cement prices have seen the cement sector have a verystrong 2011.

According to a National Commercial Bank (NCB) report, cementdemand in Saudi Arabia has been rising on the back of hugegovernment and private sector projects and an expected surge inpublic expenditure above budgeted levels will further fueldemand growth.

NCB said the increased budget in 2012 would increase theneed for cement to meet the elevated demand levels, adding thatproduction increased by 5.4 million tonnes to reach 48.4 milliontonnes in 2011 in comparison to 2010 and 2009's production of43 million tones and 37.8 million tonnes, respectively.

This rising demand has been reflected by local deliveriesgrowing by 13.6 per cent last year, representing 97 per centof production as the remainder was either exported orstocked as inventory. ■

long running partnership with Microsoftcomprises of 23 MTC’s globally, givingus the opportunity to showcase to ourcustomers and end users how tointegrate everything from the datacenterinfrastructure through to the softwaremanagement tools,” said Delepine.

With numerous strategic live datacentres providing mission criticaloperation throughout the region,Delepine confirmed that the market fordatacenter solutions in the region iscontinuing to grow as it enters into amaturity phase. Commenting further onthe partnership, Delepine added thatMicrosoft was the best partner to workwith on this collaborative facility in theheart of Dubai.

Delepine expects to see a number oflarge datacenter projects taking place in2012 as cloud computing begins to takecentre stage in the IT industry, and at atime when the GCC region aims tobecome a leader in data center strategyand cloud computing.

The strategy of the different Gulfcountries varies due to the differentspeeds of IT development in each of them.The main investment in data centrescomes from banks and governmentagencies that are consolidating theirbusinesses and trying to become moreenergy efficient. The green agenda is alsogrowing in importance.

“If we want to push data centreadoption in the region we must grow ourcustomer base and we must be able tooffer them the right solutions, that areboth scalable and modular at the sametime,” he said.

Delepine also touched on SchneiderElectric’s StruxureWare softwaresolution which combines both thecompany’s DCIM and Data CentreFacility Management (DCFM) softwaretools to provide data gathering,monitoring and automation, as well asplanning and implementationfunctionality.

“The software facilitates an integratedand multifaceted view of all the missioncritical physical systems of the datacenter, and provides a unifieddashboard displaying operationalstatistics.

time running a more reliable, efficient, productive, safe andgreen data centre.”

Our software solutions are also increasingly becomingrecognised as the leading choice for operators around theworld, and this is an area where we are continuing to investstrategically, added Delepine.

With regional headquarters located in Dubai Silicon Oasis,Schneider Electric warehouses in Jebel Ali Free Zone supportthe company’s local and regional operation. The UAE marketcontinues to be a big part of the company’s focus withinvestment in data centres continuing to grow, however thegrowth potential of the Saudi Arabian market– now SchneiderElectrics largest in the GCC in terms of revenue, is anotherstory which the company is hoping to capitalise upon.

“A pivotal part of our continuing growth strategy, be it herein the UAE, or Saudi Arabia or any country in the region for thatmatter, is the channel partner programme that SchneiderElectric currently runs. Our partners have to be accredited inorder to provide advice to customers and end users, so theyhave to go through a thorough certification process whichensures that they are fully capable of representing SchneiderElectric. We currently have 15 companies in the elite partnerprogramme, which are recertified annually. This was a realfocus point for us last year,” explained Delepine.

Discussing his thoughts for future trends in the datacentermarket, Delepine noted that due to the demand for dataprocessing and storage, the data centre was continuallyevolving, and increasingly playing an even more central rolearound us. ■

A NEW REPORT from the Communications andInformation Technology Commission (CITC) in KSAclaims that the volume of spending on the ICTservices in the Kingdom increased to US$22.1billion in 2011. This figure represents an averageannual growth rate of about 14 per cent.Information technology made up 30 per cent ofthe total spending, mostly concentrated onhardware and IT services, said the CITC report.The report added that spending on ICT productsand services is expected to grow by more than 10per cent in 2012, driven mainly by expected stronggrowth in demand for smart phones, high-speednetworks and interactive applications.Saudi’s ICT market is the largest in the MiddleEast in terms of capital value and volume of spending, and it accounts for more than 68 per cent ofthe regional ICT market. The total number of mobile subscriptions grew to around 53.7mn at the end of 2011, with apenetration rate of 188 per cent. While, fixed telephone lines stood at 4.63mn at the end of 2011, ofwhich around 3.3mn , or 71 percent, were residential lines, according to the report.Demand for fixed services, especially in major cities, is expected to grow as a result of growingdemand for broadband services, especially for fiber optic network (FTTx) services. Internetpenetration increased at a high rate over the last few years from 5 per cent in 2001 to about 47.5 percent at the end of 2011.The estimated number of Internet users in the Kingdom is now 13.6mn.Total mobile broadband subscriptions reached 11.3mn at the end of 2011, representing apenetration of 39.6 per cent of the population.

This provides access toa feature-rich printing environment that offers so much more toenhance the user’s experience, allowing users to completecommon tasks with one touch, access information and managedocuments on the Web, and more.

Enhancing the functionality of printers has never been easier.There are many standard applications available to make the jobeasier, including scan to file, fax, PDF and email, print to file,duplex copy, black and white copy and eco copy to save on ink,as well as more specialised applications for business. From cloudprinting to business card scanning, collaborative project

management solutions, envelope wizards, form and templateapplications and even cloud storage for online documentretention and sharing, there are hundreds of applications readybuilt to help enhance business productivity.

Users can also access Google Calendar and automatically printoff a day planner every day for better scheduling, and print off thelatest news headlines, stock prices or weather forecasts beforethey even walk into the office. For the more social user, SmartSolutions offers access to social media sites such as Facebook,Twitter and Flickr. There are even fun apps such as Sudoku, whichlets the user print off puzzles to complete directly from theprinter, a variety of photo applications to let users upload,download and print photographs from a variety of tools such asFlickr, Photobucket and Picasa, and specialised applicationsdesigned to meet the needs of different industries, such asrestaurants and healthcare providers.

One of the most useful speciality apps designed to help thebusy modern business is a clever tool that monitors the level ofink in cartridges, notifying the user when ink is running low, anduses Google Maps to find the closest stockist along withdirections as to the shortest route to the stockist.

Whether a user is looking for solutions to enhance efficiency, orto make the printer experience more interactive and intuitive, theworld of apps delivers.

ACCORDING TO FROST & Sullivan, Saudi Arabian Mining Company(Maaden) had originally planned to have the sheet mill for cansheets only. The announcement of a joint venture with US firmAlcoa to add a new aluminium production line is expected to meetthe local demand in the Gulf Co-operation Council (GCC) which iscurrently met by local rolling mill Garmco, Bahrain. There is a biggap between the supply and market demand in the GCC for paint,foil stock, etc and the new mill planned will help to rectify the gap. Further, the new line will instigate the development of variousdown stream industries from the envisaged products of Maaden’s

new mill line. Notable products that have good market in Saudiare foil, sheet coating, sign boards, slugs, chequered plate, boatand auto sheet body, electronic items and capacitors. Hence, the new plan of products will increase value addition toaluminium sheet through foil products which have great demandof around 100,000 tonnes and most of it is catered by imports.More downstream industries are expected to create additionallocal employment opportunities ensuring utilisation of the localnatural abundant energy to value addition to the base metal andbring in new technologies to Saudi Arabia.

exhibitors from near and far are expectedthis year. The linked product and serviceexhibitions will address all the heavyengineering-focused energy needs of theregion’s largest national construction anddevelopment sectors, including largeindustrial and commercial projects,massive infrastructure schemes, and thehuge new-build housing programme, thelargest in the Gulf. Burgeoning consumerissues and new-product needs will becovered as well.

The successful annual Saudi Energyseries has established itself as one of thelargest and most specialised energyexhibitions in the entire Gulf CooperationCouncil region. It is once again beingconveniently located in the largest singlepower-related product market of all.

The organisers point out that GCCmember countries currently plan to spendmore than US$250 billion in total onenergy projects over the next decade, withthe Kingdom alone accounting for wellover a third of this huge sum. This region-wide programme is backed by SaudiArabia itself having a huge and growingfiscal surplus, an ongoing institutionalreform programme that continues toattract FDI from most sources - andthereby aids industrial diversification, andan established objective of becoming oneof the world’s top 10 companies in termsof international competitiveness withinthe lifespan of just a single fast-expandingand power-hungry generation.

It is these circumstances that underliethe average eight-point annual percentageincrease in power demand seen in recentyears, a trend that is almost certain tocontinue, the experts say.

Economic growth of almost this sameamount was seen on the back ofgenerally rising energy prices worldwidelast year, led by the oil trades in whichSaudi Arabia of course excels. Totalnational demand is expected to reachwell in excess of 60,000MW by 2020 andtop twice this consumption just 10 yearslater. In 2010 the KSA’s total installedcapacity was of the order of just 45,000MW; the numbers of new consumersbeing planned and invested for nowbeing registered in millions.

Individual large energy-related supplyprojects mentioned by REC in theirpromotional literature for the Saudi Energy2012 series include:■ the construction of no less than seven

independent power generation plants(IPPs), including one mega plant ratedat 850MW at Yanbu on the southerncoast that will cost US$1.5 billion alone;completion of the world’s largest power-and-water plant at Ras Al Zor in theEastern Region, installed with anameplate capacity of a massive2400MW (completion being due at theend of next year at a total investmentcost of around US$6 billion);

■ expenditure of US$100 billion onconstruction and refurbishment of theKingdom’s generation and distribution

network generally;■ expenditure of US$300mn on

transmission infrastructure to link upthe various brand-new and fast-expanding sector-specific (industry,healthcare, knowledge etc) EconomicCities;

■ expenditure of US$1.5 billion in total ontransmission facilities for a new powersharing agreement with Egypt. This is ofcourse in addition to the ongoingdevelopment of the GCCIA’s owninterconnecting grid, of which Saudifacilities will be key components.

Exhibitor profiles of the four constituentexhibitions that will make up this year’scombined Saudi Energy event aredescribed by the organisers as follows:

Saudi Elenex: power generationstations, power plant and equipment, HVtransmission, distribution networkequipment, transformers and other sub-station equipment, monitoring and controlequipment, electrical engineering ingeneral, general supplies, powerprotection equipment.

Saudi Luminex: industrial andresidential lighting, modern and ‘antique’domestic and commercial fittings, privateand commercial outdoor lighting, securitylighting, ornamental fittings

Saudi Aircon: heating, ventilating andair conditioning equipment/systems of alltypes, instrumentation and controls,refrigeration and cooling equipment,mobile cold storage systems

Saudi Watertech: desalination plantand water conservation technology.

In addition the renewables sectionincluding a technology-sharingdiscussion forum will focus principallyon upcoming Saudi investment in solarequipment of all types - output of 5000MW by this single almost-new means isplanned within a decade - but tapping ofwind energy, geothermal exploitationand development/use of biofuels willalso be covered. ■

TECHNICAL REVIEW SPOKE to themanaging director of Saccal Industries,Asaad Saccal, about his outlook for thegenset industry in the region and thecompany’s expansion plans in SaudiArabia and Iraq.Saccal Industries, which has beensupplying diesel generators in Lebanonsince 1944, has “the highest marketshare in Lebanon” according to Saccal.The company is building upon its strongpresence in the diesel generator rentalsector in its home country by expandinginto other markets such as Saudi Arabiaand Iraq. Last year was very successfulfor Saccal Industries with the companyposting an annual turnover of US$80mnand the company expects a 10 per centincrease in 2012, according to Saccal.The company’s product range currentlycovers gensets from 5kVA to 3,000kVAenabling it to cover a wide range of theneeds of small-to-medium sizecompanies in the region.Saccal Industries has a number ofprojects underway including providingpower for Beirut City Center (24MW), thebiggest mall in the Lebanese capital.Other projects include Cascada Mall,Beirut Water Front (4MW) and the

extension of the power plant for TheBeirut Souks to increase power from13MW to 21MW, which was carried out bySaccal in 2008. Outside of Lebanon,Saccal Industries is working on a 27MWpower plant in Baghdad for the Ministryof Electricity of Iraq to be commissionedin June 2012 and is also supporting atelecom project of 600 units of 20kVA inAngola. The company is also involved ina 6MW project involving a wastewatertreatment facility in Jordan.The company’s growth strategy is tomaintain its strong market share inLebanon as well as targetingopportunities in neighbouring markets.The company aims to form close ties withits customers and works “hand in handwith them in growing their business,”explained Saccal.Referring to the growing demand forenergy and resulting increase in gensetdemand in the region, Saccal added thatthe company’s, “expansion plan is set tosatisfy all energy needs in the region.”A major factor in the push to expand thenumber of markets that Saccal Industriescovers is Saccal’s belief that the MiddleEast diesel genset market is maturingand that stable regional growth rates will

be maintained for the industry during thenext few years.Saccal’s positive outlook is based uponthe power shortages that are affecting thewhole region, with growing demand faroutstripping supply. Importantly, Saccalbelieves that this demand cannot be metsolely by governments and that thereforethe private sector will increasinglybecome a major supplier of energy.Saccal has acted to serve this increaseddemand by expanding into the market inSaudi Arabia. The company opened a newoffice in Saudi Arabia at the end of 2011and its warehouse, located in Riyadh,contains US$5mn worth of genset stocks.Saccal Industries also has offices basedin Riyadh and Dammam.Saccal explained that the reason for theexpansion of its operations in SaudiArabia was to try and spread thecompany’s name across the kingdom andhelp maximise its sales growth. Thecompany’s other main target markets arein Africa and Iraq.Saccal ended by highlighting theimportance of human capital and howSaccal Industries focuses on hiringhighly qualified staff with a wealth ofindustry experience.

AAS THE WORLD faces up to theneed for long-term sustainableenergy development, we have torecognise that oil and gas are

limited in reserves and unequallydistributed around the globe. Thesesignificant constraints mean that nuclearpower has strong advantages since it isboth sustainable for a very long period,and can be developed in any countryregardless of any domestic uraniumreserves.

Nuclear technology has continuouslybeen developed and upgraded to meetgrowing expectations and regulations.Based on proven technology, if we addcountermeasures for dealing with naturaldisasters, nuclear power will be able tostrengthen its position as a major

alternative for supplying large amountsof electricity.

The International Energy Agencyforecasts that the global energy demandwill climb 36 per cent and electricityconsumption will rise more than 80 percent from 2008 to 2030 due to economicgrowth and improving living standards indeveloping nations. Fossil fuels such ascoal, oil, and gas which will be depleted inthe not so distant future cannot keep upwith the world's economic development.Moreover, most developing/developedcountries have no choice but to join theglobal rush in developing renewableenergy sources such as wind power and

photovoltaic energy to reduce the carbongas emissions generated from fossil fuels,which are accountable for 41 per cent oftotal carbon emissions. Despite thisglobal need for renewable energy, anyplanning for long-term powerdevelopment must include the rightenergy mix, security, economics andenvironmental protection. The heavily oil-dependent energy structure of the worldeconomy during the 1970s should havebeen forced to restructure into a morediverse energy mix.

Some buzzwords that have maintainedtheir status for quite some time are globalwarming and environment protection.Based on the contribution of nuclearpower generation with large energycapacities, the economic benefits andsafe operation, the renaissance of nuclearpower, a widely recognised alternativeenergy source, was foreseen by many, andwill be introduced or resumed by not onlyseveral developed but also developingcountries. Unfortunately, this rosy picturewas affected again by the Fukushimaaccident of March 2011. The global nuclearindustry including the InternationalAtomic Energy Agency gathered tomaintain the safety of the Fukushimanuclear power plants and to mitigate theimpact. Most countries began toreconsider the option of nuclear powerand its necessity.

In conclusion, even though manycountries have hesitated to developnuclear power since the 1970s (with someexceptions such as Korea, France, Japanand China), only the brave can overcomechallenges. The UAE will become an iconwithin the Middle East and North Africaregion for peaceful use of nuclear power.Nuclear power will be an energy sourcefor supplying stable, sustainable,economical and environment-friendlyelectricity to the UAE. ■

SSUPPORTED BY LEADING trade associations overseassuch as CONFAPI (Italy), UBIFRANCE, NUMOV(Germany) and UK Trade & Investment, the 9thInternational Construction, Building, Environmental

Technology & Materials Exhibition opens in Doha on 30 Apriland runs through 3 May.

The event will take place at the Doha Exhibition Centre (DEC)and is organised by ifp Qatar.

The event attracts key buyers and industry leaders looking forthe most up-to-date technology and state-of-the art equipmentavailable on the market.

Last year’s event was massively expanded by the pace ofconstruction-orientated development, and Project Qatar 2012 –and a whole decade of subsequent events too of course – hasreceived an enormous boost with last year’s award of venuestatus for the 2022 FIFA World Cup – soccer’s premiertournament.

“By winning the bid,” say organisers ifp Qatar, “Qatar haspaved the way for more intensive nationwide development at anaccelerated pace, creating endless opportunities, particularly inthe construction sector.”

They go on to point out that within 10 years Qatar’s US$35billion rail line will have been completed, the number of hotelrooms on offer will top 90,000, no less than 12 stadiums will beready [building on those constructed for 2006’s highly successfulAsian Games, believed by many to be the gateway to 2022] andUS$20 billion-plus will have been spent on the desert nation’sembryo road network. More than 40 per cent of the Emirate’scurrent budget is allocated to projects which come under thegeneral heading of “infrastructure expansion” – goldenopportunities for suppliers of construction equipment andbuilding materials in other words. And mostly paid for by theearnings from burgeoning international gas sales of course.

The key product sectors being highlighted by exhibitors atthis year’s show will be Building Materials, Environmental &Water Technology, and Green Technologies. A comprehensivelist of all the individual product categories on display isincluded within the Project Qatar brochure which can be foundon the website detailed above.

Concurrent EventsSubsidiary events being incorporated between the same datesthis year are Qatar Stone-Tech 2012, which is held in associationwith Verona Fiere and Confindustria Marmomacchine, and HeavyMax 2012, the 5th international event dedicated to heavyconstruction equipment including lifting and mining machinery.

Qatar Stone-Tech 2012 will cover a range of technologies,equipment and products including: cutting, polishing & handlingequipment, natural stones, quarrying, processing & installationequipment, stone blocks and finished products steel focus.

Heavy Max 2012 in turn will cover a large range of equipmentsand products such as: machinery technology & equipment, cranes,loaders, formwork & scaffolding and construction vehicles.

The response to last year’s event was described as“overwhelming”, with some 1,750 exhibitors coming from nearand far – more than 40 countries in all - to aid with “Sourcing theregion’s construction needs”. The total number of visitorsrecorded was just under 44,000. A post-show survey revealedthat 85 per cent of these said they had “a positive experience atProject Qatar 2011” - and 9 per cent more were “satisfied”.

In total well over three-quarters of the visitors were local Qatarinationals, reflecting the colossal impact of the estimated US$1

TTHE GLOBAL STEEL market isdominated by countries such asChina, India and Turkey but thesteel market in the Middle East is

growing and evolving.“The prime driver of this phenomenon is

the realistic infrastructure investmentplans of the GCC governments, availabilityof inexpensive energy and skilled labourat a low cost to support the manufacturingof steel products,” stated Kumar Ramesh,Frost & Sullivan’s industry manager,environmental and building technologiespractice for MENA and South Asia.

The increased spending in the GCC oninfrastructure projects is due in large toincreased revenues from higher oil pricesthat has resulted in a year-on-yearincrease of 4.1mn tonnes in the region'sconstruction steel production capacity in

2012, with the total capacity reaching20.7mn tonnes, Ahmed Al-Ansari,commercial division manager of QatarSteel was quoted as saying on thesidelines of a show.

Al-Ansari added that the totalconstruction steel production capacity ofthe region is expected to reach 23.1mntonnes by the end of 2015, including17mn tonnes of rebar productioncapacity, 3.5mn tonnes of steel sectionproduction capacity and 2.6mn tonnesof wire rod capacity.

Burgeoning demandThe annual demand for steel products inthe GCC region stands at over 40mntonnes, and is expected to grow at 5 percent to 6 per cent over the next five years,according to Frost & Sullivan.

Al-Ansari said that annual rebardemand in the GCC in 2012 is expected to

come to 12.6 mn tonnes, with demand forwire rod reaching about 2.1mn tones.While, rebar demand in the region isexpected to reach 13.3mn tonnes nextyear, 14mn tonnes in 2014 and 14.7mntonnes by the end of 2015.

Price fluxEmirates Steel Mills and Qatar SteelCorporation dominate the regional supplychain, delivering a combined 175,000tonnes (125,000 tonnes and 50,000tonnes, respectively), to the UAE.

Producers are optimistic of Oman'spotential to become a major steelproducer in the region, with thegovernment taking substantialinvestments in developing its steelproduction capacity primarily to supplyenough to the local market. Nationalsteel consumption is expected to doubleby 2015.

“Increasing demand, strongcompetition, increasing cost of rawmaterials and labour will lead to anincrease in the price by 5 per cent to 7 percent in the medium term of three to fouryears,” said Ramesh Gopal, generalmanager, Production, Sharq Sohar SteelRolling Mills, reported the Oman Observer.

Oman’s Public Authority forConsumer Protection stated that therewas no price increase of steel in

February. Its survey looked at theOmani, Turkish, UAE and Qatari steelmarkets and focused on the prices offour main companies; Bahwan, AlAnsari, Middle East Company and OmanContracts and Construction Materials.

Steel prices in the UAE reachedUS$585 a tonne in March after increasingevery month since last December. Thisgrowth has brightened prospects interms of the capacity of mills to operateat full capacity, according to DanubeBuilding Materials.

The steady price increase in the region,however, is not in tandem with the steeplevels at which global steel prices arerising. This indicates that the regionalsteel market is becoming less sensitive toglobal market forces.

"The local steel market required upto 400,000 tonnes of steel per monthin the years prior to the downturn, butthis has declined to 250,000 tonnesafter the global downturn," RizwanSajan, Chairman, Danube BuildingMaterials, said.

UAE steel prices climbed from US$484per tonne last November-December toUS$503 in January, US$531 in February.Comparatively, global steel (mill) priceshave gone from US$490 (December 2009)to US$520 (January 2010) to US$535(February 2010) to $570 (March 2010). ■

WWITHOUT A RELIABLE supply of compressed air thehuge textile industries of MENA would not be able tofunction. Even the finishing, packaging andconsignment-consolidation businesses located in

Dubai’s ultra-modern textile enclave would find it difficult tomake a decent profit, heavily reliant as they are on fabric importsfrom India and further east. Most of these are nowadaysproduced on high-capacity airjet looms.

“Textiles need compressed air” said leading manufacturerKaeser Kompressoren of Coburg, Germany in a special feature intheir 2/11 customers’ technology-based report, timed to coincidewith the global industry’s most recent ITMA trade show, theindustry’s largest (Barcelona, September 22-29 2011). “Commonto all textile applications is a need for a powerful and dependablesupply of compressed air…

“Almost more than any other industrial sector, the textileindustry relies on efficient production of compressed air at alltimes...provision of this valuable energy source to power air jetlooms often accounts for over 85 per cent of total system costs”.

ImportantThe linked articles go on to point out that the general trend ofusing clean-air processes in the latest integrated plant is growingfast, especially in the huge weaving mills of China and the Indiansub-continent which now supply so many of the high-qualityfabrics processed in Northwest Africa and Egypt.

In addition to weaving, other uses of compressed air in today’sglobalised and fiercely-competitive textile industries includecotton ginning, polyester yarn blowing, fabric texturing, thespecial spinning and weaving processes associated with denimproduction, drying, most stages of process integration, make-upoperations, and packaging of final products.

Supply of ultra-clean oil-free air is particularly important formost of these, just as it is in the region’s thriving food processingand pharmaceutical industries. With their sophisticatedlubrication-free processes today’s world-scale compressormanufacturers are all geared up to meet this burgeoning demand.

Describing compressed air as the ‘Fourth Utility”, anotherleading manufacturer Ingersoll Rand with its global headquartersin Ireland and major manufacturing operations nearby in India,where the domestic textile industry constitutes a huge nationalcustomer, points out that only 10-15 per cent of a moderncompressor’s total life-cycle costs come from the initial investment(capital cost) and subsequent maintenance (operational cost).

VersatilityMost of the rest comes from running costs arising directly fromenergy consumption. Compressors use a lot of energy, but theversatility and operator-safety they offer to industries like textilesand clothing increases productivity many times over. It’s throughair-based processes that Asia has come to dominate the world’ssupply of woven fabrics in particular, offering value-addingopportunities to businesses all over the world – and especially inNorth Africa - in the process.

The principle way to save energy with a compressor is to size itcorrectly for the job in hand so that only the correct amount of airof the right quality (including temperature) is delivered, and themachine is rarely running under inherently inefficient part-loadconditions. This is usually achieved by installing multi-stageequipment which progressively increases the pressure down theline. Inter-stage coolers reduce the energy required to progressthrough each stage.


Compressors66

Compressed air is the hidden ingredient intextile production. We look at howsignificant cost savings can be achievedthrough the right choice of positive-displacement, centrifugal or axial-flowcompressor.

Compressed air keepsMENA manufacturing

www.kaeser.com

Another major contribution to energy saving is

achieved through the installation of adequate controls



Major contributionPrecisely how this cooling is achieved makes a significantcontribution to the energy conservation programme. In the caseof a modern large textile mill this is often based on a three-stagecentrifugal or rotary screw compressor, rated at 1000hp or more.

Another major contribution to energy saving is achieved throughthe installation of adequate controls which match output todemand for air all the time through an automatic feedback systemwhich matches optimisation with sequencing at the air end.

And a third is achieved by checking the entire system thoroughlyand regularly for pressure losses resulting from leakages and energywastage which of course increases as the pressure rises. It isestimated that more than one-third of the air supplied in a completemanufacturing system is often lost through inadequate attentionbeing paid to eliminating this “artificial demand”.

Textile manufacturers are usually advised to have someone onthe site whose job this is permanently to monitor and correct wherenecessary. Failing pipe couplings are the usual suspects.

Finally there are the issues of matching output (volume of airand its quality) to differing demand at the various take-off pointsin a typical integrated textile production system.

CompetitiveNot all may need oil-free air, for example, and air-temperaturerequirements vary according to process. And of course theinstallation of an efficient waste-heat recovery system, readilyachieved if water-based interstage cooling is employed, canmake the difference between profit and loss in tight-margin

businesses like textile/clothing manufacturing and processing.Without compressed air many of these operations would not be

making any headway at all in the highly competitive post-MultiFibre Arrangement world, a point that several exhibitors at lastyear’s ITMA exhibition were keen to make. ■

TTHIS IS AN important period for thesustainable-building movement.First, the US Green BuildingCouncil will be issuing the latest

version of its ratings system in November.LEED (Leadership in Energy andEnvironmental Design) was launched in2000, the first ‘holistic’ programme in theUSA for certifying the sustainability of anew building’s design and construction.

Second, its UAE equivalent, the EGBC,will be extending its own remit into thepreparation of technical guidelinescovering the ‘greening’ of existingbuildings, and also devising a workablefinancing scheme to support this. Like theUS Council its first programme ofassessments and certifications coverednewbuild projects only.

Widely used around the world the LEEDsystem helps integrate natural and humanactivities “through the way we design,build, manage and occupy buildings”, ScotHorst, Senior VP). LEED has become a“global benchmark for what it means todesign, build, operate and maintain agreen building”. Its guidelines have beenregularly redrafted in order to keep themabreast of current ideas – materials, goals,energy issues and the like. This was lastdone comprehensively in 2011, and by theend of this year the practical observationsit has received from members and itsvarious technical advisory groups since(comment period ended 20 March) willhave been considered and incorporatedinto what will be known as LEED 2012.

On 13 February the US Council said:“The current draft of LEED has beenrefined to address technical stringencyand rigour, measurement andperformance tools …

“Additional performance-basedmanagement features will help projectsmeasure and manage energy and waterusage, site and building material selection,and indoor environmental quality.”

And for projects outside the USA: “LEED2012 will offer a new global perspective …easier for the international community toengage.”

Added Horst: “LEED 2012 is the next steptowards a global, performance-basedapplication.” As he had observed on the10th anniversary: “It is my sincere hope thatin another 10 years we will have been sosuccessful that we will not need LEED at all.”

Newbuild targets marked themovement’s launch, followed in the US byguidelines covering Existing Buildings andCommercial Interiors at the end of 2004.Then came programmes coveringNeighbourhood Development, Schoolsand individual Homes in the USA, allembodying the same principles of designand construction for optimal performancebased on independent verification.

The effective adaptation and replication

that is taking place here is precisely thesort of global programme developmentthat the founding fathers looked to whenLEED was being shaped. As well as theEmirates Council there now exist matchingorganisations in Egypt, Jordan, Morocco,Qatar and the KSA. Encouragingcertification by newbuild operators hasbeen the main local objective to date, butthe move towards awarding the covetedplaques for existing buildings, includingrecognition of wider activities such asfinancing, human behaviour, facilities andpurchasing management etc. is animportant step towards completion of theprogramme. Adoption of Housingstandards will be a big challenge.

Here in Dubai the EGBC’s website citesthe example of a foreign contractor’sheadquarters building on busy SheikhZayed Road, which was recently awardedVersion 2.0 Certification for itsCommercial Interiors implementation inaccord with the standing LEED guidelines.

These included making maximum use ofnatural daylight and outlook, use ofsustainable materials in furniture, savingsof nearly a third in water consumption,intelligent lighting control, full-scalerecycling, and siting in close proximity topublic transport. ■

SUSTAINED SOCIAL AND economicdevelopment in Oman has led to theneed for the redevelopment andextension of national infrastructurethroughout the state. Having developed and utilised Paraslimacross the globe, particularly in the UKwhere it has transformed themarketplace for the construction ofcomposite bridges, RMD Kwikform hasintroduced the system into the Omanimarket for the first time.

RMD Kwikform recognised the need fora falsework and formwork system that

specialised in the construction ofcomposite bridges in a region of the worldwhere an ever-evolving infrastructuredemands an effective, safe and efficientmethod of bridge construction.

The introduction of Paraslim to themarket effectively meets the needs of themarket and the customer on the AthabiaFlyover in Oman.

Faced with the task of widening theAthabia Flyover on the Sultan QaboosRoad, a major road in Oman’s capital cityMuscat, building contractors Larsen &Toubro Oman LLC approached RMD

Kwikform for a solution that could meetthe tight programme times and safetyconcerns of the project.

Commenting on the reasons forbringing Paraslim to the Middle East andits use on the Athabia Flyover project,Steve Phillips, Resident Director - Omansaid: “Paraslim is ideal for this kind ofbridge work where the existing flyover iswidened to accommodate an additionallane to ease the traffic flow. There is livetraffic over and under the bridge and it ispractically impossible to close the trafficbelow to put up scaffolding.

AMID A MORE assertive drive from GCCgovernments to implement green building codeson all construction and infrastructure projects,industry experts foresee these output methods asa short-term reality that will complement growingeconomic opportunities, with the UAE leading thetrend in the region. Holley Chant, CorporateSustainability Director at KEO InternationalConsultants, and a speaker at the InfrastructureARABIA Summit, explains: “I am confident thatwithin less than five years every market in the GCCwill have sustainability-related regulations. Thisstarted in the UAE, then Qatar, and now all otherGCC countries are showing signs of

implementation of policies that can be classifiedas sustainable regulations.”Chant discussed the extent to which thesesustainable agendas have been transformed byrecent economic conditions at the four-dayInfrastructure ARABIA Summit at WORLDecoConstruct, the pioneering construction andinfrastructure event which took place from 22-25April 2012 at the Abu Dhabi National ExhibitionCentre.“Since mid-2009, nearly every building Requestfor Proposal (RFP) that KEO has responded to hassome form of sustainability requirement scopedin it. During project design, an integrated designteam can feasibly validate energy savings of 20 to50 per cent over a baseline building of energy use,depending on how ambitious the project is.” Chant believes that to achieve these benefits,sustainability goals must be embracedthroughout design development and through toconstruction. “What is critical to maintain thosesavings is the sustainable energy strategy of thedesign during operation. The end user must alsohave well trained facilities management staff whounderstand how to make a building perform as itwas designed and commissioned to.”

CCOVERING AN AREA in excess of 60,000m2, the US$300mn, six- storey Beirut City Centre Mall will be Lebanon’s largest mall when completed in mid 2013. The construction of this 200 shop development has been fast tracked thanks in part

to the contractor’s use of a range of formwork and shoring equipmentfrom RMD Kwikform.

The main contractor Al Saad General Contracting, purchased inexcess of 300 tonnes of RMD Kwikform’s Kwikstage proppingsystems, special adjustable bespoke column, straight and curved walland lift core formwork.

The project further strengthens RMD Kwikform’s experience in Mallconstruction following significant success in the sector across theMiddle East region.

Having proven its’ equipment capabilities and engineeringexpertise by being the sole formwork and shoring supplier on theconstruction of the worlds largest shopping mall, The Dubai Mall, RMDKwikform was a natural choice for Al Saad, as Project Manager Eng.Nabil Abdallah commented: “Whenever you take on a large landmark

project of this kind, there is a great deal of expertise required in itsdelivery.

“Having won the project in a highly competitive tender process inearly 2009, we ourselves put out a tender for the formwork andshoring requirements for the job and were looking at a sole supplieragreement. In addition to experience we wanted more than just theobvious criteria of price and availability of off the shelf equipment.

“In particular when we looked at the overall design of the mall, werecognised that there were potential savings to be achieved by optingfor an adjustable column formwork solution. We liked RMDKwikform’s approach in designing a simple system that could beadapted to our sites exact requirements. To speed up the slabconstruction we opted for an in-situ concrete beam system supportingpre-cast deck slabs with an in-situ concrete topping. RMD Kwikform’sKwikstage propping systems provided an economical and quick toerect system for the support of the primary beams with the addedbenefit of being an excellent access system for use during thefinishing stages of the works. Youssef Alouf, RMD Kwikform LebanonBranch Manager was on hand on an almost daily basis on the projectproviding a level of personal support to my construction team whichwas invaluable during the early stages of equipment erection andstriking”.

The project is a significant success for the RMD Kwikform operationin Beirut and represents the largest single contract undertaken in thecountry to date. The project came during a record year for the businessfollowing previous contract wins on the landmark Mdeirej Bridgeredevelopment and a number of medium and large sized contractwins in the country’s booming commercial development sector.

Meanwhile, RMD Kwikform’s heavy dutyMegashor shoring system was used by NassContracting to support the construction ofBahrain’s largest every precast sectionflyover, measuring 1.8km. The complexstructure known as the Isa Gate Flyover isbeing constructed for the Ministry of Works,using the combination of a specialistlauncher system, supported by Megashortowers. Capable of lifting and moving theindividually formed precast sections, eachweighing up to 190 tonnes, the launchersystem is configured to span three piers atany one time. Due to the sheer weight of theprecast sections and the very complex camber, in order to ensure thesafe erection of the flyover, Megashor towers were needed to supportboth the weight of the launcher system at each pier point and theadditional weight of the precast sections.

Put into place in a series of three sections at any one time, theprecast sections are initially lifted horizontally by the launcher, beforebeing moved vertically to meet the previously secured sections. Onceall three sections are in place, they are secured and glued together. Inpreparation for each of these sequence lifts, RMD Kwikform engineersoperating from its Bahrain office, worked with engineers fromcontractor Nass Contracting to determine the exact forces andmoments that would be potentially placed on the Megashor supporttowers by each precast section.

Armed with these figures and the general site knowledge gainedfrom working with Nass Contracting since the start of the project, RMD

Kwikform engineers provided Nass Contracting site staff with thetechnical information and drawings required for the erection of each ofthe Megashor tower systems.

Erected around the three piers to support the launcher, the towersystems are each made up of Megashor legs ranging in size from 0.5to 2.7 metres. Interlaced with Superslim Soldiers for rigidity, theindividual towers are connected together to form a rigid structurecapable of supporting up to three precast sections. Megashor jacksare used at the base and the top of each tower to vary the height toaccurately support two large primary steel beams and a secondarysteel beam, mounted onto the top of the Megashor structure. In orderto then meet the tight cm tolerances required for the project to supportthe precast sections, two hydraulic jacks are mounted onto thesecondary steel beam, allowing the whole system to be altered tomeet the camber of the flyover. ■
