FOCUS
Addis Ababa is in the middle of a construction boom with lots of construction from skyscrapers to condors
and roads. The city is growing rapidly in modernity compared to other African cities. The city is
undergoing a major construction boom, where the skyline suddenly has more halfway-done high-rise
buildings than ever before, and new hotels are being built at a breakneck speed. Hotels, shopping centres
and office complexes rise from where small shacks once stood.Infrastructure is improving to support
them. Tall, incomplete buildings are visible as far as the eye can see. In addition to the construction
boom, many of its roads are being expanded and redone.
The new African Union headquarters, built on the ruins of a maximum security prison, is the centerpiece
of the Chinese influence. Chinese investment in Addis Ababa is bolder than anywhere else in Africa.
Some people speculate that in some years to come, Addis will be the new Dubai of Africa, with eye
catching architectural buildings – what with the structural transformation of the city, the skyscrapers
going up; each with unique architectural designs. And it’s not just real estate that’s booming, but there is
also the construction of a light rail around the city being carried out by a Chinese railway company, the
likes of those found in European countries.

Boskalis consortium wins $1.5bn Suez Canal expansion contract
21 October 2014
The Suez Canal Authorities has awarded a $1.5bn contract to a consortium of Royal Boskalis Westminster
(Boskalis), Van Oord, NMDC (Abu Dhabi) and Jan de Nul (Belgium) for expansion of the Suez Canal.
Each partner of the consortium will have a share of $375m in the contract.
As part of the project, the consortium will build a 50km long section of the canal that will run in parallel
to the existing waterway and will enable ships to simultaneously transit in two directions.
The scheme will also include widening and deepening of various current parts to a depth of 24 metres.
Most of the dredging activities for the expansion will be done using 17 cutter suction dredgers.
Construction work on the canal, which offers shipping link between Europe and Asia, is scheduled to
begin this year and will be completed by next year.
Jaguar Overseas limited to rehabilitate Harare thermol power station in
ZimbabweSouthern Africa
Oct 30, 2014
Indian industrial engineering firm Jaguar Overseas Limited has been awarded a tender to rehabilitate
Harare Thermal Power station.
According to Zesa Holdings, the whole rehabilitation exercise will cost US$76 million, and once complete,
will see an increase in power generation across the country.
Jaguar Overseas Limited is expected to carry out or oversee construction works such as survey, erecting
commissioning lines and substations, and carrying out other civil works. The company will also undertake
engineering, procurement, supply and installation works.
Apart from the construction works, the company will also procure designated-fabricated towers, power
plant equipment for substations, conductors, insulators and hardware accessories, among other things.
The engineering, procurement and contractor company is expected to finish the rehabilitation of the
power station on time, since the country seeks to reduce the crippling power deficits, which for a while
now, has affected industrial work.
According to the report, Zesa is also applying for tenders to rehabilitate Bulawayo and Munyati small
thermal power stations. This rehabilitation will increase output from 50MW to 270MW.
Old and outdated equipment such as boilers at Bulawayo, Harare and Munyati stations is causing them to
produce below installed capacity: the three have installed capacities of 90MW, 120MW and 100MW
respectively.

IFC pledges US$600m for a East Africa regional oil pipeline
Oct 31, 2014
The International Finance Corporation (IFC), a lending arm of the World Bank, has pledged US$ 600m to
fund an oil pipeline in East Africa. The funding is part of a US$1.8bn loan for projects in the Horn of
Africa.
The oil pipeline is expected to link up upstream operations in Kenya, Uganda and South Sudan. A
statement by the bank indicates that the investments will aid expansion of agribusiness, processing and
seeds.
The whole project has been estimated to cost US$5bn. The current pipeline in Kenya reaches Eldoret
where a new 350 kilometre pipeline will be constructed at a cost of US$302m up to Kampala, Uganda.
Another 434 kilometre pipeline will then be built from Kampala to Kigali, Rwanda.
The move to construct the oil pipeline is aimed at enabling crude exports in the region and boosting its oil
industry. It will also end the dependence of South Sudan on Sudan for its oil exports. A tender for the
new pipeline was advertised last month, calling for both international and local experience, but the
contractor is yet to be selected.
The development of the pipeline is welcomed in the region especially after Kenya and Uganda discovered
commercially viable oil deposits. The pipeline will eradicate the current tanker transportation need and
subsequently reduce the price of oil for consumers.

Oct 31, 2014
An international airport could be built at Kogi State in Nigeria, with governor of the state Mr. Idris Wada
having called for help from federal government to assist in its construction. The new airport will be built
in Lokoji.
Wada made a courtesy christen to the Minister of Aviation, Mr Osita Chidoka, in Abuja, stressing that, the
airport will assist the citizens in the North Central zone to transport their agricultural products. According
to the governor, the state will build a world-class airport to serve as an agricultural hub. He has called on
the government to sponsor the joint venture arrangement that will see through the new airport
construction.
According to Wada, the state government has been previously approached some for support on the
project but not much had been concluded on. He said that he however believed that, with a fresh
advance, there was a chance to have the airport in the next two years.
On his part, the Minister assured of his support that he would work out details to see success of the
airport construction project in the state.
Currently, Nigeria is advancing other airport projects in many states, including in Bayelsa, Nasarawa,
Kebbi and Ogun. The new airport construction project is welcome, considering that aviation industry is
growing in Nigeria according to recent reports.
Tanzania to undertake construction of iron ore mining and smelting plants
Oct 30, 2014
Tanzania is planning to start local commercial production of iron ore and steel by construction of related
smelting plants. The National Development Corporation (NDC) has said that the country is also expecting
to produce 1.1 million metric tones per year, with the first batch export expected in four years’ time.

US$600m solar power farm to be put up in Ethiopia
The Ethiopian Electric Power (EEP) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with US- based
Green Technology Africa Inc. (GTA) worth US$600m for solar photovoltaic (PV) power generation.
The solar power project will be able to generate 300 MW of electricity once complete. It expected to kick
off in the next six months, and will take 2 and half years to complete and become ready for use.
With this project, the country will have taken a move forward towards realizing its plan to serve 75% of
entire households in the country with electricity. Power generated by the new solar power farm project
will be vast compared to small solar off-grid projects and it will be directly channeled to the national grid.
GTA will deliver the electric power generated from the solar power farm in a turnkey project to be set up
in Dire Dawa, Kombolcha and Desse. The firm hopes that the MoU signed between them and EEP will give
them the green light to start a full feasibility study on the areas identified. The deal was signed by the
Chief Executive Officer of EEP, Eng. Azeb Asnake and the President of GTA, Dereje Mesfin.

MIDDLE EAST
GCC likely to award $45b infrastructure contracts
Staff Report / 16 October 2014
New Ventures report shows spending will double by end of this year
Abu Dhabi: A new report forecasts that the GCC countries expected to award more than $45 billion of
infrastructure contracts by the end of 2014 — double the $22.6 billion awarded in 2012.
The report “GCC infrastructure Market 2014” gives a snapshot of the billions of dollars being spent across
the region with a focus on five areas: rail, roads, airports, ports and free trade zones.
The report also calculates that $97 billion of rail contracts are already under way as all six countries work
towards the planned 2,117 kilometres GCC-wide rail network by 2018.
The Ventures report says almost $300 billion will be spent on airports in the Middle East over the next
five years with passenger numbers in the GCC expected to reach almost four billion by 2017. And every
GCC country is involved in expanding its seaports with an estimated $25 billion of expansion and
investment planned.
Qatar has invested $8.2 billion on a state-of-the-art industrial port, Doha’s New Port Project, which is set
to be completed ten years ahead of schedule in 2020.
A vital part of a country’s infrastructure development is free trade zones and all countries in the GCC
except Saudi Arabia offer them, though the UAE has the vast majority with 20.
To encourage international manufacturers and suppliers to set up their business in the UAE, The Big 5
organises on How to Trade in the UAE, providing detailed information about free zones, legal framework
and a step by step guide on how to do business in the country.
Adil Al Zarooni, senior vice-president of sales Jebel Ali Free Zone (Jafza) and Economic Zone will be one
of the keynote speakers at seminar.He will offer an insight into the way free zones operate across the
GCC. He says: “I will be speaking about the types of businesses and industries that will be attracted and I
will highlight some of the success stories from Jafza.”

(Reuters) / 1 October 2014
The Phase 2 project will connect the Mussafah port and industrial area and ports in Abu Dhabi
and Dubai with the Saudi and Omani borders.
The UAEs’ railway developer Etihad Rail is set to secure government funding and award contracts to build
the second phase of its $11 billion national rail network, its acting chief executive officer said on Tuesday.
“We’re ready to award it. It’s in finalising stages for funding from the government,” Faris Saif Al Mazrouei
told reporters on the sidelines of an industry event in Dubai.
Gulf Arab oil exporters are spending hundreds of billions of dollars on projects ranging from power to
transport as they look to diversify their heavily hydrocarbon-reliant economies and boost regional trade.
The second phase of the UAE railway project, which at 628 kilometres is the longest of the three planned
stages, is expected to be funded by the UAE federal government, Mazrouei said.
He declined to give costs for the project.
The Phase 2 project will connect the Mussafah port and industrial area and ports in Abu Dhabi and Dubai
with the Saudi and Omani borders.
State-owned Etihad Rail secured a $1.28 billion five-year bank loan last year to build the first phase of
the project. That phase, covering about 264 kilometres in the west of the country from Sha and Habshan
near Abu Dhabi to Ruwais, is now complete and has begun operating trials, Mazrouei said.

Growth of engineering consultants, SRK in Africa stresses local expertise
Oct 24, 2014
Global engineering consultants SRK Consulting are extending their footprint in Africa, building on local
skills and experience in a wide range of technical fields vital to the continent’s sustainable development.
With 14 offices in African nations, including Angola, Cameroon, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Ghana
and Zimbabwe, SRK engineering consultants has over 776 active projects on the continent in 26 different
countries.
“Our expansion strategy is based on long-term investments in selected countries where we have
identified the right local experts and a landscape of opportunity,” said SRK Consulting (SA) managing
director Peter Labrum. “This may mean there are no quick returns, but we can ensure our exacting
standards are applied and capacity is continuously built over time.”
The breadth of SRK’s service offering has steadily grown from its initial mining focus to serve markets
including infrastructure, energy, local, provincial and national government, industry and agriculture.
“The importance of environmental and social services – especially as they relate to stakeholder
engagement – has become critical to the success of mining and infrastructure projects in recent years,”
said Labrum. “Demand for our water expertise has also grown due to infrastructure requirements,
especially in rural areas.”
There are also increased opportunities for project monitoring, he said, to ensure that implementation
proceeds as planned and achieves the expected impact, including the building of local capacity to
strengthen sustainability.
Recent involvement in Cameroon has demonstrated how SRK’s wide range of engineering expertise can
play a key role in unlocking Africa’s mineral wealth. As technical advisor to the government of Cameroon,
SRK engineering consultants was part of the process to finalise the mining convention with Australian
miner Sundance Resources – as well as concessions for a mineral terminal and railway – for the US$5
billion Mbalam iron ore project.
Challenging global economic conditions, aggravated by the recent Ebola epidemic, are making business in
Africa difficult but there are signs that exploration activity is picking up in certain countries – which is
likely to improve demand for various consulting services on the continent.
41
Global Project Opportunities: November’2014
“South African founded in 1974, our 40 years of experience in Africa and our growing spectrum of skill
sets equips us well to help clients find sustainable solutions in large and complex projects,” said Labrum.
“Mining and industrial projects in Africa frequently involve new infrastructure developments and crossborder co-operation, requiring a high level of integrated planning and collaboration.”
He emphasised the importance of African professionals and technical skills to drive economic
development on the continent, spreading the benefits of investment and ensuring that primary industries
like mining and energy could create a broader foundation for diversified growth.
SRK engineering consultants is a leader in natural resource and development solutions, providing
independent technical advice and services through over 50 offices in 22 countries, on six continents. With
an African presence in Angola, and practices in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Ghana, South Africa
and Zimbabwe, the global group employs more than 1,500 staff in a range of engineering, scientific,
environmental and social disciplines.

Heavy Construction Industry
What is the heavy construction industry?
The heavy construction industry is comprised of companies engaged in large-scale building projects,
chiefly in infrastructure. A wide variety of corporations provide the planning, design, engineering,
consulting, and construction expertise to complete such initiatives. Examples of construction projects
include highways, ports, dams, cable and wireless networks, bridges, tunnels, water and sewer facilities,
hydroelectric energy plants, railroads, and subways.
Companies in the industry are also engaged in infrastructure repair and maintenance, as well as
specialized projects such as the building and decommissioning of nuclear plants.
How big is the heavy construction industry?
According to a 2014 report by PriceWaterhouseCoopers, spending on global infrastructure will grow from
$4 trillion annually in 2012 to $9 trillion by 2025, with total spending during that period expected to
reach $78 trillion. PWC's estimates include direct construction activities, as well as peripheral
expenditures on logistics, legal fees, feasibility studies, etc. Bloomberg.com's "Industry Leaderboard"
estimates revenue of companies directly involved in this industry at nearly $1.5 trillion annually.
As you might discern from these impressive numbers, the heavy construction industry is a sizable
employer. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that total U.S. employees in the "Heavy and Civil
Engineering" subsector of the construction industry number over 918,000.
Significant companies in this industry can rack up annual revenues in the tens of billions. For
example, Fluor Corp. generated $27.4 billion in revenue in 2013. Privately held U.S. firm Bechtel, one of
the world's leading civil engineering companies, disclosed 2012 revenues of $38 billion. China Railway
Construction Corporation added an eyebrow-raising $95 billion to its top line in 2013.
How does the heavy construction industry work?
Because of the size of typical projects, the industry exhibits several unique characteristics. The clients of
heavy construction and engineering firms tend to be federal and state governments, cities, and
municipalities. Procurement, the process by which such organizations bid out and award projects, can be
exceedingly complex (and competitive) at this scale. Profits are realized in some cases over a span of
years, and final profit margins can be slim, averaging just 2.5%.
To a greater degree than in related industries (e.g., residential construction), work proposals require
extensive estimates. Proposals based on a company's best guess as to costs of labor, materials, and
subcontractors often get submitted years in advance of performance and are typically signed as "fixedprice contracts."

Global Project Opportunities: November’2014
As a result, long-term revenue and profit in this industry involve inherent uncertainty. For example, when
discussing the risk of cost overruns in its 2013 annual report, Fluor Corp. stated that approximately 20%
of its backlog value was tied to fixed-price contracts. Needless to say, successful companies develop fairly
precise pricing and economic models to provide a margin of safety in project proposals.
What are the drivers of the heavy construction industry?
One can track any number of industries in which global economic growth tangibly drives success. This is
not quite the case with the heavy construction industry, as counterintuitive as it may seem. Because so
much of this industry is fueled by national and local governments' spending, policy and political decisions
can trump other critical success factors.
It generally holds that at the peak of an economic expansion cycle, heavy construction companies win the
contracts that carry them through the rest of the cycle. But governments don't always spend in sync with
the availability of resources.
For example, during the financial crisis and recession of 2008, eurozone governments made a critical
decision to embark on a plan of austerity, and consequently shelved major infrastructure projects.
While the U.S. employed a stimulus approach to the financial crisis, funding for repair of the nation's
deteriorating infrastructure was and continues to be modest because of disagreements in Congress over
scope and funding. Unsurprisingly, the domestic industry has grown at a meager clip over the last several
years.
Objective data would seem to point to the benefits of infrastructure improvement. A 2014 study by
Standard & Poor's determined that every $1.3 billion invested in U.S. infrastructure would result in a net
gain of 29,000 construction jobs, an addition of $2.0 billion of growth to the economy, and a reduction of
$200 million in the federal deficit. Yet such arguments have so far had little impact on policy makers.
Consequently, Asia is projected to lead the world in infrastructure spending for several years. The
crimped budgets in the U.S. and Europe (which together account for a majority of global infrastructure
spending) will potentially drag on the revenue growth that construction companies extract from Asia and
other emerging markets. Thus, investors should pay attention to the geographic distribution of a
company's revenue when evaluating potential portfolio holdings in this industry.

Thailand officially the Kingdom of Thailand is a country at the centre of the Indochina peninsula in
Southeast Asia. It is bordered to the north by Burma and Laos, to the east by Laos and Cambodia, to the
south by the Gulf of Thailand and Malaysia, and to the west by the Andaman Sea and the southern
extremity of Burma. Its maritime boundaries include Vietnam in the Gulf of Thailand to the southeast,
and Indonesia and India on the Andaman Sea to the southwest.
Thailand is a monarchy headed by King Bhumibol Adulyadej, Rama IX and governed by a military
junta that took power in May 2014. The king is the ninth of the House of Chakri, and has reigned since
1946 as the world'slongest-serving current head of state and the country's longest-reigning monarch.
The King of Thailand's titles include Head of State, Head of the Armed Forces, Adherent of Buddhism, and
Upholder of religions. Although a constitutional system was established in 1932, the monarchy and
military have continued to intervene periodically in politics.
With a total area of approximately 513,000 km2 (198,000 sq mi), Thailand is the world's 51st-largest
country. It is the20th-most-populous country in the world, with around 66 million people. The capital and
largest city is Bangkok, which is Thailand's political, commercial, industrial, and cultural hub. About 75–
95%
of
the
population
is
ethnically Tai,
which
includes
four
major
regional
groups: Central
Thai, Northeastern Thai (Khon [Lao] Isan), Northern Thai (Khon Mueang); and Southern Thai. Thai
Chinese, those of significant Chinese heritage, are 14% of the population while Thais with partial Chinese
ancestry comprise up to 40% of the population.Thai Malays represent 3% of the population, with the
49

remainder consisting of Mons, Khmers and various "hill tribes". The country's official language is Thai and
the primary religion is Buddhism, which is practised by around 95% of the population.
Thailand experienced rapid economic growth between 1985 and 1996, becoming a newly industrialized
country and a major exporter. Manufacturing, agriculture, and tourism are leading sectors of the
economy. Among the tenASEAN countries, Thailand ranks second in quality of life and the country's HDI
had been rated as 'high'. Its large population and growing economic influence have made it a middle
power in the region and around the world.
Thailand became an upper-middle income economy in 2011. Notwithstanding political uncertainty and
volatility since 1970, Thailand has made remarkable progress in social and economic issues, moving from a
low income country to an upper-income country in less than a generation. As such, Thailand has been one of
the widely cited development success stories, with sustained strong growth and impressive poverty
reduction, particularly in the 1980s.
Thailand's high economic growth at 8-9% per year during the late 1980s and early 1990s was interrupted by
the "Asian Crisis" of 1997-1998. Since then, economic growth has been moderate, with period of robust
growth, such as at around 5% from 2002 to 2007, followed by the fall-out from the global financial crisis of
2008-2009, the flood in 2011, and the impact of political tensions and uncertainty in 2010 and again in 20132014. Overall, economic growth in Thailand, while still significant, has lagged that in its developing East
Asian neighbors in recent years. Growth is currently projected to be around 1.5% for 2014.
Thailand is likely to meet most of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) on an aggregate basis.
Maternal mortality and under-five mortality rates have been greatly reduced and more than 97% of the
population, both in the urban and rural areas, now have access to clean water and sanitation. At the same
time, there are concerns about environmental sustainability.

P. E.P.C.
PROJECT EXPORTS PROMOTION COUNCIL OF INDIA (PEPC)
India is a country with large and diverse infrastructure sector. The Government of India recognized the
imperative need for the infrastructure sector and takes several initiatives like Committee of
Infrastructure, National Highway Development Project (NHDP), National Maritime Development
Programme (NMDP), Tax Holidays etc for the development and promotion of the sector. In the recent
years, there has been several improvements in sectors like roads & highways, ports, railways and
airports, the policy and regulatory framework is already in place and investment in infrastructure has
risen considerably however there are still significant gaps that need to be bridged.
With a view to create a platform for all the stakeholders and for the conclusive growth & development of
the Infrastructure sector, PEPC works with the Central and Foreign
Governments, National &
International development organizations like World Bank, Asian Development Bank etc, Government
Agencies, and various other stakeholders to promote the Project exports.
PEPC discusses policy, regulatory and procedural issues with its members, industry experts etc. and
advice appropriate reforms to the government for the development of the project exports. For making
conducive business environment PEPC highlights encumbrances being faced by the industry players in the
process of development of the sector and interacts with various national / international agencies for
making feasible measures to overcome those encumbrances.
PEPC supports the Government in its efforts towards projecting the project exports. It act as a reference
point for investors (Domestic & International) interested in the sector and provide information related to
government guidelines, investment opportunities, government & development agencies (which are
involved in the development process of the sector).
For promotion of the sector PEPC works proactively and suggests necessary procedures during the
process of policy formation, budgetary allocation, forming legal framework etc. by the government. To
maintain smooth progress PEPC also insist government to make essential provision for timely upgradation
of the policies on the basis of regular feedback from its members and industry players.
PEPC organizes several investment promotion programmes, conferences, seminars, workshops, etc on
regular basis for facilitating interaction between various government agencies, international bodies,
industry players and its members that provide prospects to raises issues pertaining to the sector and
exchange ideas. These networking events provide a platform to share thoughts, explore business
opportunities among the varied stakeholders of the project sector. These measures help to analyse the
present developments and identifies the ways to overcome the constraint of the sector.
PROJECT EXPORTS
Project Exports from India commenced with a modest beginning in the late 1970s. Since then, project
exports have evolved over the years, with Indian companies demonstrating capabilities and expertise
spanning a wide range of sectors. The nature of Project Exports being undertaken reflects the
technological maturity and industrial capabilities in the country. Project exports are broadly divided into
four categories:




Civil construction
Turnkey modules
Consultancy services
Supplies, primarily of capital goods and industrial manufactures
Each of the above are explained here:
Civil construction projects Construction projects involve civil works, steel structural work, erection of
utility equipment and include projects for building dams, bridges, airports, railway lines, roads and
bridges, apartments, office complexes, hospitals, hotels, and desalination plants.
Turnkey projects
64
Global Project Opportunities: November’2014
Turnkey projects involve supply of equipment along with related services and cover activities from the
conception stage to the commissioning of a project. Typical examples of turnkey projects are: supply,
erection and commissioning of boilers, power plants, transmission lines, sub-stations, plants for
manufacture of cement, sugar, textiles and chemicals.
Consultancy services Services contracts, involving provision of know-how, skills, personnel and training
are categorised as consultancy projects. Typical examples of services contracts are: project
implementation services, management contracts for industrial plants, hospitals, hotels, oil exploration,
charter hire of rigs and locomotives, supervision of erection of plants, CAD/ CAM solutions in software
exports, finance and accounting systems.
Supply contracts Supply contracts involve primarily export of capital goods and industrial
manufactures. Typical examples of supply contracts are: supply of stainless steel slabs and ferro-chrome
manufacturing equipments, diesel generators, pumps and compressors.
Project export contracts are generally of high value and exporters undertaking them are required to offer
competitive credit terms to be able to secure orders from foreign buyers in the face of stiff international
competition. Exim Bank plays a pivotal role in promoting and financing Indian companies in the execution
of projects. It has been closely associated with the growth of project exports from India by way of
providing finance, information and business advisory services. The bank supports Indian companies at all
stages of the project cycle from advance tender information, guidance in preparation of competitive bids
to providing financial facilities, including loans and guarantees. It extends funded and non-funded
facilities for overseas industrial turnkey projects, civil construction contracts, as well as technical and
consultancy service contracts. Exim Bank has in place a specialised cell to provide advance information to
Indian companies on projects being funded by multilateral funding agencies in various countries. Over
the past two decades, increasing number of projects have been executed by Indian companies in North
Africa, West Asia, South & South East Asia, CIS and Latin America.
