Zambian palm oil business Zampalm - asubsidiary of Zambeef Products - hascommissioned a US$1mn crushing andprocessing plant in Mpika. The factory willbegin processing crude palm oil in September2015, with first harvesting planned for Augustthrough to January 2016. It is expected toreduce Zambia’s dependence on crude palmoil and other edible oil imports drastically.

The plant has a capacity to crush two tothree tonnes of fresh palm fruit per hour,producing a yield of 20-30 per cent of crudepalm oil.

The plant comprises four “cookers”, a boiler,and a tumbler.

A digester will separate the oil from thefruit. The used fruit bunches will be recycledinto the boiler as fuel or used as organicfertiliser. The crude oil will be sent, then. forrefining into cooking oil or biofuel.

Following completion of the new crushingmill, a second two-tonne mill is expected tobe installed in 2017 and a further 10-tonneplant the following year, taking crude palm oilproduction up to 17,000 tonnes a year.

The operation currently employs over 500workers, with the workforce expected togrow as the harvesting season draws closerand operations grow.

The total investment cost in the Zampalmproject is estimated at US$41.5mn, of whichZambeef has spent US$20mn. Zambia

currently imports crude palm oil worth overUS$70mn every year, which is a costlyexercise for a country that consumes around120,000 tonnes of cooking oil but onlyproduces 30-50 per cent of required totalsupply. More than half of Zambia’s edible oilconsumption is imported from the Far East,East Africa and South Africa.

At current prices, the average production ofcrude oil of 3-3.5 tonnes per hectare couldgenerate more than US$170mn in revenueover the next decade.

Cimentos de Moçambique, a subsidiary of Portuguese cement producer Cimpor, hasannounced plans to invest US$250mn in a new integrated cement plant in Nacala,Mozambique. The new facility is expected to start functioning from 2018.

Acorrding to a statement issued by the company, “The new capacity to be installed increasesthe efficiency of the response to local demand for cement, while Cimentos de Moçambiquerecognises its role in driving the sustainable economic development of the Nacala region.”

Cimentos de Moçambique has been producing cement since 1920. Its current footprint inMozambique includes an integrated cement production plant in Matola and four grindingplants in different locations. Cimentos de Moçambique has a cement production capacity of3.1mn tonnes per year and a workforce of 1,200 people. The company’s assets in Nacala includetwo grinding units and limestone reserves for which it has an extraction licence.

West Africa has many unprecedentedopportunities for agricultural growth, butmaking the most of them will require moreeffective regional integration, according toa report - ‘Agricultural Growth in West Africa:Market and Policy Drivers’ (AGWA) -published by the African DevelopmentBank (AfDB), the Food and AgricultureOrganization of the United Nations (FAO)and the Economic Community of WestAfrican States (ECOWAS).

To be competitive with large globalactors, West African agriculture needs tocapture some of the economies of scale thatthose countries enjoy in the markets forfertilisers and seeds as well as in agriculturalresearch and technology development, thereport states.

While important progress towardsregional integration has been made overthe past two decades, effectiveimplementation at national level hasremained a challenge, as evidenced byroadblocks and trade bans hinderingintraregional trade, along with continueduse of disparate national standards forseeds and fertilizers despite regionallyagreed-upon common protocols.

Many West African countries have beenincreasingly relying on food imports tomeet their burgeoning urban food markets,

reflecting the inability of their domesticfood value chains to meet the evolvingconsumer demand in terms of quality,volumes, prices and consistency of supply.The report stresses that while increasingagricultural yields is essential, moreattention needs to be placed on thedownstream segment of the agrifoodsystem: assembly, storage, processing,wholesaling and retail.

Infrastructure project development fund IFC InfraVentures and electricity producer EranoveGroup have signed a concession agreement with the Government of Mali to develop the€110mn (US$121.9mn) Kenié hydropower project. The 30-year concession agreement coversthe development, construction and management of the project. Once operational, the plant isexpected to generate 35-56MW of electricity, significantly increasing Mali’s current installedcapacity, which is slightly more than 400MW. The Kenié plant will be operated through aconcession agreement competitively awarded to Kenié Energies Revouvelables, a new entityowned by the Eranove Group and by IFC. Mamadou Igor Diarra, the Minister of Finance for Mali,said, “The Kenié Hydropower project has been under development for several years and so weappreciate the engagement of IFC InfraVentures, and welcome Eranove as main sponsor toensure the successful signing of the off-take and concession agreement.”

Low oil prices have continued to impactAfrica’s economies. This has beenparticularly troubling not only for the

Angolan economy but also for institutionssuch as Fundo Soberano de Angola(FSDEA), a sovereign wealth fund (SWF)wholly owned by the Re public of Angola.But the commitment to socio-economicprogress has never been greater. FSDEA'sremit remains the diversification of aninvestment portfolio across an array ofindustries and asset classes. By pursuinginvestments that generate long-term andsocially enhancing financial returns, thefund plays an important role in promotingAngola’s social and economic developmentand generating wealth for its people.

FSDEA is governed by the SantiagoPrinciples, a voluntary set of principles andpractices developed by the InternationalWorking Group (IWG) of sovereign wealthfunds. The fund is also a full member of theInternational Forum of Sovereign WealthFunds (IFSWF). The regulatory and policymilestones achieved by the Fund, combinedwith the IFSWF membership and SWFIratings, strengthen the FSDEA’s commitmentto comply with local and internationalregulations governing its operations andinvestment activities. Within the IWGframework, FSDEA has asserted itself as anaccountable and transparent organisationwith a dedicated social charter to benefit thepeople of Angola. In fact, the fund has beenacknowledged as a transparent fund by theLinaburg-Maduell Transparency Index, whichis administered by the Sovereign Wealth FundInstitute (SWFI).

Creating commercial leadersThe fund has courted international investorsaggressively, which has so far paid off. Part ofits courtship is a social charter designed tobuild capacity within the country. Availabilityof a skilled local workforce is one of the

biggest hurdles to economic growth. In fact,FSDEA graduates highly skilled businessleaders through its Future Leadersscholarship programme, which most recentlysent 45 of Angola’s brightest and best toZurich, Switzerland, to study at one of theworld’s leading business schools, the ZurichUniversity of Applied Sciences (ZHAW).Coming from varied academic backgrounds -finance, corporate law, businessadministration, mathematics and statistics -individuals were selected on the basis of theirdemonstrated potential to become futurebusiness leaders. FSDEA believes that thesegraduates will go on to innovate newproducts, create jobs and help to strengthenthe country’s domestic market. Crucially, itcontinues to send an incredibly important,positive message to the international investorcommunity - namely, that Angola remainsopen for business: strong, confident and notswayed by the impact of global uncertainties.

To support the Future Leaders programme,African consultancy DjembeCommunications created a fully integratedcommunications strategy incorporatingadvertising, brand development, eventmanagement, media relations and digitalengagement. Inits initial 2015 intake, theprogramme has been a huge success with thetop students from the programme beinghired by the Fund. The Future Leaders ofAngola received positive media attention inpan-regional titles across Africa and in Europethroughout the duration of the programme,and was critically acclaimed by leadingAngolan media as a demonstration of theFSDEA’s positive impact and role in socialdevelopment and capacity building.

Investing in infrastructureThrough 2015 the FSDEA has also beeninvesting US$1.1bn in a dedicatedinfrastructure fund that will focus on equityinvestments in energy, transport and large

industrial developments domestically andacross the sub-Saharan African region.

“Commercial infrastructure projects in sub-Saharan Africa currently show unparalleledpotential and resilience against theperceived risks associated to our continent.At the FSDEA, we believe that providing thenecessary funding for the development ofthese assets shall enable the overridinggoal of diversifying the Fund’s investmentportfolio sustainably,” commented JoséFilomeno dos Santos, chairman of theboard of directors of FSDEA.

The FSDEA also allocated US$500mnequity capital to a Hotel Fund for Africa,which aims to fulfil the significantundersupply of international standard hotelmanagement capacity in the continent. Thisvehicle will be in a position to take up debtup to 50 per cent, potentially doubling itstotal investment capability. With respect tothese initiatives in Angolan infrastructure,dos Santos said, “The capitalisation of thesevehicles is in line with the FSDEA’s policy toinvest in sectors that remain shielded fromglobal market volatility and providesustainable high yield returns oninvestments that may ultimately preservecapital of the fund for the benefit of theAngolan citizens. Beyond generating solidreturns, the rationale behind creating thesededicated investment funds is that theinfrastructure and hotel sectors holdsubstantial potential for job and wealthcreation and stimulate local supply chainsthat positively impact the overall growth ofthe region’s economies.”

Supporting FSDEA's efforts towardscapitalising funds for Angolan socio-economic growth, FSDEA created adedicated research unit in 2014 to act as aninvestment intelligence hub with aparticular focus on the Angolan economy.This unit seeks to improve the quantity andquality of research data available on Angola

and certain sectors of the continent,thereby addressing the challenges faced byacademics, policymakers and analysts ininterpreting the specificities of the Africanbusiness landscape. By studying the realfoundations of the Angolan economy,FSDEA aims to secure insights to support itsdomestic investments, assess income andemployment generation patterns andunderstand the true dynamic of an Africaneconomy from a local perspective.

FSDEA’s research unit consists of eightinvestment analysts, who work incooperation with the AngolanGovernment and specialised academics togenerate regular intelligence on macro-economic issues, as well as sector andcountry specific analysis. This workgroupenables FSDEA, policy makers,government agencies, and internationalresearchers to gain insights into theinvestment landscape of Angola and the

overall region. On the work of FSDEA'sresearch, dos Santos noted, “There is ascarcity of quality data on Africa in thepublic domain. So, by securing reliablestatistics and analysis of Angola’s currentinvestment context, our analysts candeliver valuable insights that enableinformed investment decisions. We firmlybelieve that providing access to morereliable data can be a catalyst for drivingsustainable social progress.” ■


Africa’s growth metrics are leading the world. According to the GlobalEconomic Outlook 2015, Sub-Saharan Africa will continue toexperience steady growth at around five per cent annually between2020 and 2025. McKinsey forecasts consumer spending to grow fromUS$860bn in 2008 to US$1.4tn by 2020, while according to StandardBank, 14mn new households will join the middle class segment by2030. In the communications sector the Middle East and Africa sawthe biggest surge in advertising spend in 2014, up by 14.6 per centagainst 3.2 per cent worldwide, which points to the immenseopportunities in Africa right now according to a Nielsen study.

Having a well-established presence in Angola, pan-Africanconsultancy Djembe Communications has now expanded its serviceofferings into Ghana, Mozambique and Nigeria t hrough whollyowned offices in response to the growing demand in the SSA regionfor high quality capabilities and services within the public relationsand communications sector. Within a short span of time Djembe hasacquired an impressive clientele across the sovereign wealth fund,investments, banking and finance, transportation and infrastructuresectors.

“Whilst the African market is very exciting it has to be approachedwith a deep understanding of both the unique challenges andopportunities across business and cultural landscapes. Djembe’s pan-African background, hands-on local capabilities and unparalleledmarket understanding, backed by our best-in-class teams across keymarkets enable us to deliver results that are real and measurable forour clients,” said Djembe managing director Mitchell Prather.

At the 2015 edition of Expo TIC, held at the Luanda InternationalFair (FIL), Angola Cables was awarded with The BestParticipation in Telecomunications award, for the quality of it'sstand and also for the presentation of the latest projects: SACSand Monet submarine cables.

From humble beginnings over fivedecades ago in rural Egypt as a micro-lending institution, Islamic banking

has grown into a global-scale industry,spreading from the Middle East to South-East Asia, sub-Saharan Africa, and Europeand the Americas. Virtually all-majorwestern groups have also embracedShari’ah finance in some form, whetherthrough subsidiaries (Citi IslamicInvestment Bank), special divisions (HSBCAmanah), and Islamic ‘windows’. Theyemploy the services of religious scholars,who meet regularly to vet investmentdecisions and the acceptability of newservices.

The niche market for Islamic finance hasgrown at prodigious rate of 16 per centannually since 2006. It now boasts some350 institutions and total assets of aboutUS$2 trillion - compared to US$140bn in2000.The Islamic system is rooted on theprinciple of ethical and equitable mode offinancing - with four underlying pillars:prohibition of interest (riba) and proscribedactivities (notably intoxicant, pork,pornography, etc); avoidance ofpreventable uncertainty (gharar) andambiguity in contracts and gambling(maysir); ethical values of justice,transparency, and public interest, includingrisk and profit sharing between involvedpartners; and a requirement that assets andinvestments can only derive from, andinvested in Shari’ah approved activities,where transactions are backed by tangibleassets.

Distinct characteristicsThe Islamic financing differs fromconventional banking activities like debtswaps, short selling, collateralised debtobligations, and most derivatives. Popularchannels are trade/commodity financing,real estate and leasing. Shari’ah does notpermit the creation of debt through direct

lending because credit can only beprovided through lease or sale-basedfinancing. Moreover, the debt created fromlease transactions cannot be sold to a thirdparty. These requirements make the lenderbear responsibility for debt financing, thushelp prevent excessive risk-taking and debtaccumulation.

Money has no intrinsic value but merelyserves as ‘medium of exchange’. Thecreation of money, by charging [rent onmoney] as a reward for waiting is invalid.Money represents ‘productive capital’ - usedfor trading real assets and undertaking

ethical businesses - which can then yieldlegitimate profits and socio-economicgains. Thus, money becomes capital onlywhen mixed with reasonable risks orenterprise. Professor John Presley said“Islamic Banking is all about taking risksand sharing that risk with the client.”

The industry has set up global regulatoryinstitutions to guide operations. TheAccounting and Auditing Organization forIslamic Financial Institutions (AAOIFI),based in Bahrain, issues standards onaccounting, auditing, and corporategovernance, while the Islamic FinancialServices Board (IFSB), based in Malaysia,overseas overall supervision andregulations.

Global brandAlthough sub-Saharan region hosts largeMuslim populations, Shari’ah banking is stillundeveloped. The share of Islamic banks(relative to total financial assets) is modest,and Islamic capital markets are virtually non-existent. As of end-2012, about 17 Islamic

The industry uses a variety of instruments similar to Western-stylefinancing and venture risk capital projects. These include:

● Murabaha is a resale contract, where a bank buys equipment ormerchandise on customer’s behalf and then sells to latter at a“mark-up” - pegged to the prevailing London Interbank OfferedRates (LIBOR). The transaction is deemed legitimate if charges arefor services rendered and not for deferred payments. Pricingdepends on credit ratings, transaction size and types of goodsbeing financed. A Bank cannot [re-price] its receivables if LIBORrises during the contract’s duration. Service charge (Jo’alah) isjustified because a bank accepts the risk of unforeseeable damageto goods from the time of purchasing and selling to the buyer. Thistechnique confers tax advantages and enables firms to tradewithout increasing their leverage.

● Musharaka (participating financing), whereby both the financierand borrower jointly contribute funds to brownfield or greenfieldproject and either one or both may manage the business. Profits(or losses) are shared according to each party’s financialcontribution. Musharaka - applicable mainly for long-term projects- is the purest form of Shari’ah finance.

● Mudaraba (trust-financing) is a contractual agreement whereby aninvestor (Rab Al-Maal) entrusts capital to an agent (Mudarib) formanaging a project. The former bears 100 per cent risk, whilstMudarib enjoys autonomy over business decisions. Profits (orlosses) are shared between the two parties on pre-arranged ratios.

Islamic portfolio business is structured on ‘Two- Tier Mudaraba,’where the bank mobilises savings into either closed or open-endedmutual funds and an Amel (managing trustee) charges fees.

● Ijara Wa-iktina (hire-purchase), where the financier acquires anincome-generating project for sole purpose of renting or leasing toclients against agreed rental, together with latter’s agreement tomake fixed payments into an “Islamic Investment Account,” whichsubsequently leads, as stipulated, to the lessee’s purchase (of title)from the lessor. This structure is used in Islamic mortgages andfunding of aircrafts, automobiles and vessels (e.g. Emirates Airlineshas used Ijara to finance its fleet expansion).

● Istisna (contracts of exchange) is a pre-delivery financing andleasing structured mode. This can be used to finance themanufacturer of plant/equipment or payments to builders duringconstruction stages. A bank provides project finance and takes titleupon completion and sells to a third party. Istisna forms animportant component of infrastructure projects.

● Sukuks (Islamic bonds) are structured to pay rents or profits inaccordance with investors’ proportional ownership in tangibleassets but not coupon interest rates. They fit well with capitalprojects that generate cash-flows to cover periodic payments.Malaysia defines Sukuks as “notes or certificates, which representthe value of a particular asset.” Sukuks (like conventional bonds)carry maturity dates, coupons and yields - structured on Murabahaor Ijara models. At least half of Sukuks assets must be leased-back

finance institutions - comprising commercialbanks, investment banks, and insuranceoperators - were operating in SSA. Botswana,Kenya, Gambia, Guinea, Liberia, Niger,Nigeria, South Africa, Mauritius, Senegal andTanzania have Islamic finance activities.There is also scope in Zambia, Uganda,Malawi, Ghana and Ethiopia.

Four countries have considerablepotential for becoming a regional hub forShari’ah-banking:

● In South Africa, the Saudi Arabian-basedDallah Al Baraka group was the firstIslamic bank granted a license in 1989 bythe central bank; in 2004, WesBanklaunched an Islamic window, the WesBankMotor Vehicle and Asset Finance, followedby First National Bank with an Islamicwindow operating in deposits andtransactional banking. In 2005, ABSA (nowBarclays Africa Group) also launched anIslamic window. Other leading SA Islamicinstitutions are Stanlib Shari’ah EquityFund and Element Islamic Equity Fund.

● HSBC Bank Mauritius in 2009 became thefirst conventional bank offering Shari’ahservices. That year, the Bank of Mauritiusgranted a license to Century Banking

Corporation, making it the Island’s firstfull-fledged Islamic bank. In 2010 India’sTata Group launched the Tata IndianShari’ah Equity Fund to invest in selectiveIndian-listed companies. The domiciliationof the fund in Mauritius is the result of theBank of Mauritius’s efforts to position theisland as a Shari’ah compliant hub.

● In Kenya, Barclays launched Islamicproducts in 2005. The sector laterexpanded with the introduction of twoIslamic banks, First Community Bank in2007 and Gulf African Bank in 2008. KenyaCommercial Bank and Standard CharteredBank also have special Islamic windows. In2010, Kenya amended Section 45 of theCentral Bank of Kenya Act to allow theCentral Bank to recognise the payment ofa return rather than interest ongovernment securities, thereby openingup the spectrum of Shari’ah compliantproducts.

● Bank PHB (Nigeria) was th e first bankoperating an Islamic banking window in1992. In 2011, the central bank approved abanking license for Jaiz International Bank,the country’s first fully-fledged Islamicbank, which became operational in 2012.

Diamond Bank (along with major Nigerianlenders) is also establishing an Islamicbanking window.

Pan-African prospectsShari’ah banking should gradually becomemore popular in SSA, given hugeinfrastructure needs, demographic structureand scope for financial deepening. SouthAfrica, Senegal, Gambia, Osun StateGovernment in Nigeria and Cote d’Ivoire hasissued Sukuks to finance infrastructureprojects.

“The development of Islamic finance inSSA could usefully complement countries’efforts to deepen their conventionalfinancial systems by broadening the rangeof available options, extend maturities, andfacilitate hedging and risk diversification. Inaddition, Islamic financing can alsocontribute to the development of small andmedium enterprises and microfinanceactivities,” noted the International MonetaryFund (IMF).

Demand for Islamic finance is likely toincrease in coming years as the region’s totalMuslim population is projected to reach386mn by 2020. ■

● Takaful (Islamic insurance) literally means “mutual guarantee”. Itoperates on the basis of periodic contributions of funds bypolicyholders into a collective pool, which is administered by aTakaful company. The latter acts as the manager of entrusted fundsresponsible for admitting participants, collecting premiums, re-investing in Islamic-compliant assets and paying benefits onGeneral, Life, Health and Pension policies.

● Bal’ Salam (forward sales of commodities) represents purchase with

deferred delivery, where a buyer pays the seller the full-negotiatedprice of a product deliverable at a future date. This instrument onlyapplies to products whose quality and quantity can be fullyspecified at the time the contract is signed and mostly applies toagricultural or manufactured products. The rate of return dependson cash transaction rather than time dimension.

● Bal’ Mua’jjal represents deferred payment sales agreement, wherethe seller permits a buyer to pay for a product at future prices ineither a lump sum or instalments. Fixed price can be same as spotprice, or higher/lower than spot price; contract should not includecharges for deferring payments.

The 9th London Sukuk Summit Awards, heldrecently at as part of the annual LondonSukuk Summit in the UK, once againhonoured market players at a time when theproliferation of Sukuk issuances continuesunabated, led especially by Sovereigns andcorporates, from both traditional and newmarkets.

The Sukuk Summit theme, ‘GlobalisingSukuk Beyond Traditional Markets, Structuresand Asset Pools’, aptly reflected theimpressive developments in 2014 and 2015and highlighted encouraging opportunitiesfor the maturing and sustainable global anddomestic Sukuk market, which has also beenmarked by exciting new innovation in Shari-ah and asset pool structures. The clarion callfrom speakers and participants is “more ofthe same, but much more” in terms of Sukukissuances, size of volume, types of structuresand frequency of offerings.

Developing the marketIndeed, the 2015 London Sukuk SummitAwards, whose main objective is torecognise the outstanding contribution andachievements of individuals, institutions,supra-nationals and financial centres servingthe global Islamic financial services industry,especially the proliferating global Sukukmarket, could not be more deserving tothose recipients who have played their rolein helping to further develop the market.

Confederation of Indian Industry (CII), inassociation with High Commission ofIndia, Nigeria, and supported by India’s

Ministry of Commerce and Industry will beorganising ‘The India Show’ in Lagos from 25-27 August 2015. The show is India’s effort topromote ‘Brand India’ in countries andemerging markets with a demand for Indianproducts and technologies.

With a population of 175mn, Nigeria isAfrica’s most populous nation and isconsidered a political and economicpowerhouse in the continent. The key USpartner is rich in oil, a major trading partnerwith China, as well as the hub of globalbusiness in the region. Nigeria has beenamong the fastest growing economies in theworld in the past decade with an annualaverage growth of 6.7 per cent.

Throughout the last decade, Nigeria’seconomy has responded with strong growthbetween 2003 and 2010, averaging 7.6 per

cent. It is ranked 30th in the world in terms ofGDP purchasing power parity (PPP) as of 2013.In the continent, Nigeria continues to be aleading player in the African Union, the NewPartnership for Africa’s Development (NEPAD),and in the Economic Community of WestAfrican States (ECOWAS).

The Nigerian government is working towarddeveloping stronger public-privatepartnerships for roads, agriculture, and power.Since 2008, the government has begun toshow the political will to implement themarket-oriented reforms urged by the IMF,such as modernising the banking system,removing subsidies, and resolving regionaldisputes over the distribution of earnings fromthe oil industry. GDP rose strongly in 2007-12because of growth in non-oil sectors androbust global crude oil prices. Then Nigeria’sPresident Jonathan Goodluck established aneconomic team that includes experienced andreputable members and has announced plans

to increase transparency, diversify economicgrowth, and improve fiscal management.

India at its bestIndia is one of the fastest growing economiesin the world and has emerged as a keydestination for foreign investors in recentyears. The improved efficiency is in theeconomy and adoption of international bestpractices in the production of a range of goodsand services. A third outcome is India rankingamongst the top ten investment destinationssince 2007-08, attracting US$195bn in FDI andUS$97bn in FII over the past five years.

The Indian government has recently openedup multi-brand retail and civil aviation marketsto 51 and 49 per cent FDI respectively and withmore reforms expected in insurance andpension sectors, among others, India willcontinue to offer compelling opportunities tothe global investment community, Nigeria inparticular. ■

30 African Review of Business and Technology - August 2015 www.africanreview.com

Cloud computing has the potential todeliver significant business benefit byturning IT into an operational cost

rather than a capital expense. The foundation of cutting-edge

technologies such as mobility andcollaboration, which are essential forcompetitiveness in today’s business world,cloud also helps to simplify offsite disasterrecovery (DR), enhance flexibility andscalability of technology, and ensureorganisations can leverage the latest andgreatest solutions and software updateswithout additional investment.

All of these benefits combine to deliverimproved operational efficiency, allowing fora significant return on investment (ROI), lowertotal cost of ownership (TCO) of IT and, mostimportantly, the creation of a competitiveadvantage.

Flexibility is keyHowever, leveraging these benefits to theirfull extent requires flexible, self-service

IT service provisioning. Making sure this isin place and available is critical to the successof cloud implementations.

Cloud underpins a dynamic infrastructureservice, of which flexible IT serviceprovisioning is a vital component. As ITbecomes increasingly consumerised andcommoditised, self-service provisioningbecomes essential in allowing users to fullyleverage the flexibility of the cloud.

Self-service provisioning enablescustomers, or tech-savvy IT administrators, toprovision their own virtual machines, as wellas increase or decrease processing power andstorage as and when required.

It can also be extended to enablecustomers to provision operating systems oreven databases. This is made possible by thevirtualised nature of cloud computing,whereby there is no need to go throughlengthy procurement cycles to obtainphysical hardware or software licenses, as all

components are delivered as a single service,creating a significant competitive advantage,while improving TCO and ROI.

Take, for example, a company that isresponding to a market demand for a newservice. In order to develop and deliver thisservice, four new servers may be required.

In order to commission these servers andgo through the procurement channels andprocedures, it could take up to six months forthe servers to be ordered, delivered,configured and operational.

By then, the window of opportunity hasprobably passed and competitors that makeuse of IT service provisioning will havealready delivered this same service to market.

Furthermore, the compute and storagerequirements are usually inflated, as thedevelopers will want to ensure they do notunderestimate them.

This entails a hefty price tag and, by thetime the project is completed, the capacityand computing power of these servers maynot necessarily be fully utilised whenabsorbed back into the main IT infrastructure.

Something else which is often overlookedis the fact that operating systems becomeoutdated, as does the server technology.What must be considered is the IT costinvolved that contributes to the overall costof the new service.

This is factored into establishing the priceof the new service as an indirect cost,resulting in a higher price, which furtherhinders competitive advantage.

Staying one step aheadFlexible, self-service IT provisioningeffectively addresses all of these challenges.

The necessary additional servers can beprovisioned in a matter of minutes, asopposed to months, allowing an organisationto take immediate advantage ofopportunities.

Compute and storage capability can beadded exactly to the required specifications,

as this can be up- or down-scaleddynamically should the estimatedrequirement be inaccurate.

The cost of the additional capacity is addedto the monthly cloud service fee, rather thanrequiring initial investment, and if it becomesobsolete in the future, this capacity can simplybe removed from the virtual services basket.

Server and operating system technologywill always be the latest solutions. As a result,organisations are empowered to takeadvantage of market opportunities quickly,and deliver more cost effective and agilesolutions to their end customers.

With flexible self-service provisioningenabled by the cloud, organisations candynamically scale IT infrastructure in bothdirections to add or remove servers,applications and other IT resources on demand.

The cloud and virtualisation effectivelyenable IT infrastructure and services tobecome commodities, to be consumed asservices on demand. In addition, the ITdepartment now becomes an IT serviceaggregator, rather than its traditional role as aprocurement house for technology.

Cloud has become essential in creating acompetitive advantage, as profits now rely onhow quickly an organisation can get to thecustomer with services they need to become,and remain, engaged. ■

The East African Community (EAC) andthe World Bank have been assessing thechallenges and opportunities in

improving connectivity along key tradingcorridors to facilitate regional integration inEast Africa. The 2015 Integrated CorridorDevelopment convention, held at theUNESCO headquarters in June, broughttogether representatives from major bilateraland multi-lateral donor organisations todiscuss solutions to facilitate the funding ofcorridor development in land-lockedcountries, such as Burundi, Rwanda andUganda.

The cost of competitiveness“In East Africa, high transport costs, poorinfrastructure and underdeveloped logisticsservices limit the competitiveness and inhibitthe integration of both the landlocked and

transit countries into the regional and globalmarket. Increasing the integration betweenthe different modes of transport throughdevelopment corridors can significantlyimprove connectivity and contribute tohigher growth in the region,” said PierreGuislain, senior director for the World Bank’stransport and ICT global practice.

The event followed on from the third EACHeads of State retreat on infrastructuredevelopment and financing, held in Kenya inNovember 2014, where EAC leaders endorseda strategy and action plan to improve thequality of service, and reduce the costs oftransport, through developing better linksbetween the different modes of transportalong the key trading corridors of the region.The attendant heads of state underscoredtheir commitment to lead in theimplementation of infrastructure

programmes and projects and endorsed theproposed 10-year investment strategy forpriority projects, and directed the Council ofMinisters to mobilise resources for itsimplementation. The Council is committednow to holding an annual roundtable forinfrastructure investors and financiers inorder to mobilise the required resources forinfrastructure priorities. The nextInfrastructure Retreat will concentrate on civilaviation and airports. The strategy itself,which the EAC Secretariat was tasked toimplement, focuses on improvingintermodality for freight transport along theNorthern and Central Corridors, from themaritime ports to the inland lakes of Victoriaand Tanganyika.

"The EAC views the implementation of theIntermodal Strategy projects as a critical inputin the reduction of transport costs in theregion,” said Richard Sezibera, EAC secretarygeneral. “The realisation of a strong EACCommon Market is predicated on thedevelopment of efficient infrastructure in theregion. Our partnership with the World Bank,therefore, is greatly appreciated.”

Collaboration and accelerationDuring the convention, development partnersand country representatives presented theirinstitutional priorities, and discussed potentialcollaboration in accelerating theimplementation of development corridorprojects such as the Lake Victoria and the LakeTanganyika transport programmes, which willrequire a total investment of US$1.8bn, ofwhich the World Bank has committedUS$850mn to date.

Development partners who participated inthe convention included: the European Union(EU), the United Kingdom Department forInternational Development (DfID), JICA, theAfrican Development Bank, the OPEC Fundfor International Development, TradeMarkEast Africa, and the Development Bank ofSouthern Africa. ■

Collaboration along the delivery chain is the key to success, as newdemands on logistics companies, in terms of technology and asregards customer requirements, are having an effect on the

delivery chain. Responding efficiently to these demands is the key. Thechallenges includetransparency andcooperation in thedelivery chain, e-commerce, big dataand alsosustainability.

Cooperation andtransparency in thedelivery chain is a hottopic. Withglobalisation, newtechnology andincreasingcompetition, logisticscompanies arebecoming part of alarger supply chain,operating in networks along with customers, suppliers and cooperationpartners. As a result, logistics is continuing to increase in importance - intrade, industry, manufacturing and services.

Digital logistics boosts business in transportIntelligent information and communication systems are corecomponents in the logistics business: not surprisingly, then, digitalizationis a key topic for all logistics companies.

Industry 4.0, 'Big Data', the 'Cloud' and e-commerce are just some of theterms and concepts that logistics professionals are tackling nowadays. Ina globalised sector such as logistics, digitalisation offers great potential:for example, through cost-reduction, more flexibility and highertransparency. But it also presents challenges such as data security andcommunication infrastructure.

The applications being used today fed into the trends that are shapingthe market, transforming business values for companies and theircustomers.

Amongst the enterprises to embrace the new, BLG has been sought todevelop contract logistics constantly. BLG boasts around 16,000employees at over 100 locations in Europe, North and South America,Africa and Asia. For an example of the company’s investment in advancedoperations, BLG’s people point to the Frankfurt Logistics Center inGermany as an example of one of the most modern warehousing andorder picking systems in the world. “G-Com” is the name of the highlydynamic and scalable warehousing and order picking system developedby Grenzebach Automation GmbH, which was acknowledged by AKJAutomotive’s ‘e-logistics award 2015’ for the robot-aided intralogisticsconcept on which it is based. ■

When thinking about renewable energy it’s common to thinkof wind power and solar. However there is massive potentialin Africa for the utilisation of renewable gas for power

generation. Some naturally occurring microbes are able to breakdown organic material in the absence of oxygen to produce differenttypes of biologically created gas – ‘biogas’ that consists primarily ofmethane and carbon dioxide. Renewable energy from biogas has theadded benefit of being able to produce a consistent source of power,‘base-load’, rather than just when the sun shines or wind blows. It canalso be utilised for high efficiency combined heat and powergeneration – giving a useful source of renewable heating or cooling.

The organic material that is required to produce biogas isavailable in a wide range of forms on the African continent – some

uniquely so. This includes biogas from dumpsites – landfill gas,biogas from human waste – sewage gas, biogas from food wastesor agricultural materials and finally naturally occurring biogas, suchas that found in lakes in Rwanda and Cameroon, or some mine sitesin South Africa.

Biogas is a gas that is formed by a variety of anaerobicmicroorganisms. These microbes feed off carbohydrates and fats,producing methane and carbon dioxides as metabolic wasteproducts. This gas can be harnessed by man as a source ofsustainable energy. Biogas is considered to be a renewable fuel asit originates from organic material that has been created fromatmospheric carbon by plants grown within recent growingseasons. Biogas creation is also called biomethanation. Biologicallyderived gases are produced as metabolic products of two groupsof microorganisms called bacteria and Archaea. Thesemicroorganisms feed off carbohydrates, fats and proteins, thenthrough a complex series of reactions including hydrolysis,acetogenesis, acidogenesis and methanogenesis produce biogascomprising of carbon dioxide and methane.

Extraction and utilisationThe organic component of household waste consists mainly offood waste and paper. When this is sent to a landfill (an engineereddumpsite) and waste reaches a depth of ~10 metres, is compactedand becomes anaerobic. Under anaerobic conditions themicroorganisms which create biogas thrive. If the landfill site iscorrectly designed and managed the resulting landfill gas can be

The potential forbiogas in AfricaThe business of renewable energy can be built around the almost limitlessopportunities for processing the continent's rich natural resources


S10 ATR Aug 2015 - Power Report 01_Layout 1 27/07/2015 15:05 Page 34

extracted, captured and utilised for power generation. At BisassarRoad in Durban, the gas from the landfill site is extracted andutilised to generate 6.4MW of renewable electricity supplied to thelocal power grid. In a geographically small country like the UK,Clarke Energy has supplied almost 500MW of landfill gas fuelledpower generation equipment.

Food waste from factories or households can be separatelycollected from other waste streams. The fat and carbohydrate inthe waste is a valuable potential source of food for the anaerobicmicrobes to utilise. An anaerobic digester or biogas plant is a man-made treatment facility for organic material. It typically consists ofa reception area, a pre-treatment area to remove contaminantssuch as paper or plastic, shredders and a series of tanks for thecreation of biogas under controlled conditions. As a rule of thumb20,000 tonnes of food waste per year gives ~1MW of electricityElgin Fruit in South Africa utilises the fruit pulp left over in the juiceproduction process as a feedstock for anaerobic digestion with afacility that produces 500kW of renewable electricity. Wastematerials from the farming industry can also be used in thismanner. Tropical Power’s biogas plant near Lake Naivasha in Kenyais able to produce 2.6MW of power from agricultural materials forlocal utilisation.

In the case of human waste its utilisation for the creation ofsewage gas typically relies on the centralised collection of thematerial through a sewerage system. As human waste has alreadybeen digested by a person, a large amount of the carbohydratesand fats have already been utilised. There is also a high watercontent. This means you need a large amount of human waste tocreate biogas. Centralised collection and treatment of human

waste has the added benefits of improved sanitation and reducedpollution. If the waste water treatment plant includes anaerobicdigesters, the biogas formation processes can be artificiallyharnessed in order to capture and utilise the gas for powergeneration. In Marrakesh and Fez in Morocco there are a number ofsewage treatment works that process human waste for 5.4MW ofrenewable electricity.

Natural potentialThe African continent also has highly unusual, naturally occurringsources of biogas, such as that which occurs in the depths of LakeKivu in Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Thislake produces biogas from the combined actions of anaerobicmicroorganisms at depth feeding off decaying organic matter,alongside processes associated with geothermal activity. Inaddition other forms of naturally occurring biogas are present inmine sites in South Africa. Archaea are one group ofmicroorganisms that are able to feed off inorganic compounds inthe rocks in mine sites to produce high quality biogas. This gas istypically extracted by ventilations systems but has also been flaredto help ensure worker safety, but it can also be used as a valuablesource of fuel for power generation.

AIn summary, Africa has vast untapped potential for theutilisation of various different organic and inorganic materials forthe production of renewable, decentralised power.

In the coming years biogas will play a significant component inthe continent’s power generation mix. ■

The African continent, whose middle is squarely straddled bythe tropics, is blessed with the highest concentration ofsunlight in the world. Some 12.96mn sq km of Africa, more

than 85 per cent of the continent, receives more than 2,000kWhours per sq metre per year (kWh/m2/y) of incoming solar energy.

This is equivalent to around 49 per cent of the world’s solarenergy; more than double that of Australia - the second highestreceiver - where 6.08mn sq km of its territory receives more than2,000kWh/m2/y of solar energy per year. In the Middle East, 2.59mnsq km of land receives more than 2,000kWh/m2/y of solar energyper year; while in Central and South America the land area drops to 1.19mn sq km.

By contrast, in the whole of the European Union (EU), just23,957sq km of its territory receives more than the requisite2,000kWh/m2/y of solar energy per year - from which it nonetheless

manages to tap more energy from the sun than the entire Africancontinent.

The sheer paucity of solar power installations in Africa means thatover the decades the continent has essentially rendered to wastethe potential benefits of an endlessly renewable energy resource.

With a population of 910mn, the whole of sub-Saharan Africa,currently consumes only 145 terawatt hours of electricity a year -the equivalent of one incandescent light bulb per person for threehours a day.

A notable exception has been South Africa - the only country inthe continent with a photovoltaic power station of more than 50megawatts (MW).

But there are tantalising signs that this could be the year whenthings begin to change and Africa’s woeful decades-long history of‘under-electrification’ could soon be a thing of the past.

An historic agreement to Build-Own-andOperate West Africa’s first utility-scale solarpower plant was signed here today byNorwegian company Scatec Solar(http://www.scatecsolar.com) and itspartners, the Malian Ministry of Energy andWater and Electricité du Mali (EDM), theelectricity utility of Mali. To be located nearthe ancient city of Segou in South-East Mali,240 kms from Bamako, the 33 MW solarproject is being developed in partnershipwith IFC InfraVentures and the localdeveloper Africa Power 1.

Speaking on the occasion, the MalianMinister of Energy and Water, Mr. MamadouFrankaly Keita said, “This landmarkagreement signals the Government’s

commitment to meet the nation's growingenergy demand and to provide clean,renewable and affordable energy to ourpeople”.

Today’s agreements include a PowerPurchase Agreement (PPA) between EDMand Segou Solaire SA, the local projectcompany controlled by Scatec Solar, for thedelivery of solar power over the next 25years. The PPA with the utility iscomplemented by a Concession Contractwith the Government of Mali, grantinglicense to Segou Solaire to operate.

With this PPA, Scatec strengthens itsposition as the leading, integrated solar IPP(Independent Power Producer) in Africa. TheOslo-headquartered company’s CEO

Raymond Carlsen said, “This project isanother great milestone for Scatec Solar.After several years of development efforts inthe region, we can now move forward withthe first utility-scale solar plant in West Africa.The Malian Authorities have demonstrateddecisive will to tackle the nagging issue ofpower supply.”

Scatec Solar (‘SSO) will own 50 percent ofthe power plant and World Bank’s projectdevelopment fund, IFC InfraVentures willhold 32.5 percent, while the local projectdevelopment company, Africa Power 1,headed by Dr Ibrahim Togola, will hold 17.5percent. Scatec Solar will construct the plant,and in addition provide operation andmaintenance services after the plant isconnected to the grid.

“One of the pillars of the World Bank’sCountry Assistance Strategy for Mali is toincrease access to energy, a developmentfundamental. IFC InfraVentures’ partnershipwith Scatec Solar and Africa Power 1 helpsadvance this strategy through Scatec Segou,part of a series of renewable energy projectswe are developing in the country,” said AlainEbobisse, Global Head of IFC InfraVentures.

Dr Ibrahim Togola, the chairman of AfricaPower 1 SA and General Administrator ofScatec Solar West Africa says: “Today’s eventis historic because Mali now becomes thefirst country to install the largest solar grid-connected power plant in the region. Thishigh profile joint-venture in which Maliancitizens participate will serve as a model tolaunch the solar era in West Africa”

An electrical revolutionUnderpinning this ‘electrical revolution’ is the collapsing cost ofsolar power and the fall in the price of light-emitting diodes (LEDs)that are the source of the new generation of light bulbs. The thirdcrucial revolution is in power storage.

An Economist report suggests that the capacity needed toproduce a watt of solar power (enough to run a small light) has nowcome down to US$1 from US$4 in 2008. And the simplest solar-powered lamps now cost around US$8.

The sales of devices that are approved by the IFC/World Bank’s‘Lighting Africa’ programme are believed to be nearly doublingannually. In 2009, just one per cent of un-electrified sub-SaharanAfricans used solar lighting. Now, says the International EnergyAgency (IEA), it is nearly five per cent. It estimates that by 2030,500mn people who are currently without electricity will have atleast 200 watts per head because of solar power.

The benefits of solar power will augment virtually every aspect ofAfrican society, says Charlie Miller of the charity SolarAid. SolarNow,a Ugandan company has developed a US$200 low-voltage television

set that runs on the direct current (DC) used by solar systems. And aBritish-designed fridge called Sure Chill that needs only a few hoursof power a day to sustain a temperature of four degrees centigradehas been unveiled. In South Africa, a company has even succeededin launching solar-powered ATMs for rural areas with intermittentmains power.

A pipeline of projectsIn a recent article for the National Law Review, Mipe Okunseinde ofthe law firm Covington & Burling LLP and Adele Faure wrote that animpressive number of solar projects are now coming online acrossthe continent and, crucially, more are in the pipeline.

In Rwanda, Gigawatt Global has completed the construction ofthe first utility-scale PV plant in the East Africa region. In West Africa,construction is underway at the Nzema solar plant in Ghana, which,with a projected capacity of 155MW, will be one of the top tenlargest PV plants in the world when completed. ■

As South Africa’s embattled energy utility Eskom struggles tokeep the country’s power supply afloat, the economy is losingbillions of rand due to scheduled blackouts (load shedding)

intended to relieve the ever-increasing pressure to the grid. Eskom has cited maintenance to its base load power plants, along

with escalating demand, as the main reasons for the crisis. Thecompletion of the Medupi and Kusile power stations, which willbecome the biggest coal-powered plants in the country, is running fouryears late, and the projected cost of construction has risen from aroundR150bn (US$12bn) to over R320bn. It is foreseen that electricity supplywill continue to be highly constrained for at least the next five years asthe build programme catches up with demand.

Internal squabbles amongst Eskom’s top brass, as well as huge debtand unrecovered municipal bills, have added to the bleak situation,prompting the parastatal to request tariff hikes of up to 25 per cent for2015/16. The National Energy Regulator of South Africa (NERSA)approved a 12.69 per cent increase, but this is unlikely to raise Eskomfrom what is looking like a deepening black hole.

In the face of this predicament, it has become more important thanever for South Africa to focus on using renewable energy tosupplement power supply. The government’s Renewable EnergyIndependent Power Producer Procurement (REIPPP) programme,currently in its fourth bidding window, is surging ahead with a numberof wind, solar, biomass and hydro projects, and 37 projects have beenconnected to the grid to date. The bidding rounds attracted a widevariety of domestic and international interest, and have successfullychannelled substantial private sector expertise and investment inrenewable energy, at competitive prices.

To alleviate the electrical energy shortfall South Africa is facing, theNational Department of Energy (DoE) has expanded and acceleratedtheir IPPP programme. A public commitment by the Minister of Energyindicated that a total of 17,000MW new operational capacity fromrenewable energy, coal, gas and cogeneration will be targeted over thenext seven years.

Although coal will continue to be the main energy source for theforeseeable future, the long-term goal is to have renewables supplying19 per cent of South Africa’s electricity (17,800MW) by 2030, a targetwhich the country’s Department of Energy (DoE) says is well withinreach. To date, the IPPPP has successfully procured 6,327MW in BidWindow. By end March 2015, 1,827MW of the procured capacity hadalready started operations (including two projects in early operations).In terms of national targets, this represents 10 per cent towards the2030 target and 25 per cent towards the 2020 target,” the Department’smedia desk said in response to enquiries.

Programming for the power environmentIt has been widely recognised that South Africa’s potential forproducing renewable energy is massive.

The United Nations Environment Programme ranked the countryamong the top ten renewable energy investing countries in the worldfor 2014 in its March 2015 Global Trends in Renewable EnergyInvestment publication. The World Wildlife Fund also lauded theproject in a recent assessment, describing it as “a flagship public-private partnership model for South Africa, and indeed the rest ofAfrica, and is helping alleviate Eskom’s current power crisis while alsoreducing greenhouse gas emissions”.

The first wind and solar IPP projects have reportedly saved thecountry more than R3.7bn in diesel and fuel costs, while 120 hours ofunreserved energy has saved an additional R1.6bn.

“In 2014, the renewable energy REIPPP already generated netfinancial benefits of R800mn. This amount is expected to increasesharply as more projects become operational and supply electricity tothe energy grid,” said the DoE.

However, while the REIPPP is alleviating South Africa’s insufficientelectricity generation capacity, in isolation, renewable sources will notbe enough to ensure the sustainability and reliability of electricitygeneration and supply.

“Therefore, the programme has been extended to also include theprocurement electricity from coal, cogeneration and gas sources. Incombination, it is this mix of electrical power provision by the privatesector that will solve South Africa’s electrical energy crisis,” the DoEobserved.

Along with the massive scope of the programme comes several riskfactors, including investor confidence and alignment betweengeneration and transmission planning. According to the DoE, “Highrenewable energy potential zones are not necessarily aligned withexisting grid networks. In the case of South Africa, the alignmentbetween generation and transmission planning and implementationremains an issue”.

The design of the IPPPP as a rolling competitive bid windowprogramme established market confidence early on. But to maintainthis confidence, investors require an enabling investment environmentand a line of sight into the roll-out of the procurement programme.

“Certainty on grid connections and continuous improvementsthrough lesson learning from previous bid windows are some of thekey issues for minimising investor uncertainty,” the DoE said.

Energy analyst Chris Yelland refers to the programme as one of thebiggest of its kind in the world, and is a positive example of theinfluence private sector investment can have.

“Driven by government, the programme has brought in enormousexpertise and capital from the private sector, at no burden to thetaxpayer. IPPs are bringing in 15 times more renewable energy thanEskom, and this proves the power of multiple projects running parallelto each other, rather than relying on one vertically-integratedmonopoly,” Yelland explained. He further emphasised the importanceof moving away from coal as the primary source of energy, but warnsthat renewable energy is not a silver bullet,” Yelland pointed out. “Coalisn’t going away anytime soon, and we mustn’t look to renewable as amagical solution. But there is a need to diversify to other sources, whichare abundant. The programme has been very effective in doing this,with projects being completed on time and to budget.”

There are however several critics of the programme, such as energyconsultant Ted Blom, who believes that restrictive regulations onhousehold-generated solar power have hampered the progress ofrenewable energy provision.

“Since the start of the REIPPP process, independent household solarhas become far more affordable, and current calculations indicate thatif allowed, between 8-10GW of new renewable solar could be added to

the grid in under 12 months. If implemented equitably, this wouldgenerate a return of around 20 per cent per year for households,” Blomsaid. He adds that, in a largely sunny country such as South Africa,household solar could generate meaningful cash flow to the poor andunemployed, especially with the advent of technologicalbreakthroughs that allow self-generation.

“Household solar together with local battery storage is the wayforward in most economies in Africa - and it will break the strangleholdmost electricity utilities have had on adequate and cheap supply tohouseholds,” Blom noted. ■

Technological breakthroughs have removed the hurdles from self-generation viarenewables



In 1996, with discoveries of oil and gas in Côte d’Ivoire’s offshorewaters and the emergence of new infrastructure financing models,the Ivorian government sought to attract the private sector to

increase electricity generation. An international tender was launchedfor this purpose, and the state established a private company, AzitoEnergie (formerly called Cinergy) in a concession agreement for thefinancing, construction and operation of a new power plant. Fuelledby natural gas, a location at Azito was selected in the Yopougondistrict – about 5km from the centre of the Ivorian commercial capital,Abidjan. As the director general of Azito Energie, Luc Ayé, explained toAfrican Review, the objectives were threefold.

“The plant was designed principally to meet the country’s growingelectricity demand; to use the natural resources of Côte d’Ivoire’soffshore reserves; and to position the Côte’s d'Ivoire as electricityexporting country in the West Africa sub-region,” he says.

Azito Energie was established as an independent power producer(IPP) with a mission to utilise natural gas to generate electricity. Since2000, it generated 300MW operating two combustion turbines. Butthe recent inauguration of a new steam unit will substantially increasethat production.

“All the energy we produce is made available to the state utilitycompany, the Ivorian Electricity Company that transports anddistributes it to customers through their grid,” Ayé explained. “Ourcompany’s shareholders include Globeleq (a subsidiary of CDC), andthe Ivorian industrial group IPS WA (a subsidiary of the Aga Khan Fundfor Economic Development, AKFED).”

Ayé’s background includes several years of experience in thedevelopment of similar projects in the sub-region with the industrialgroup IPS West Africa, and the co-ordination of privatisation projectsin public administration, in particular the Ministry of EconomicInfrastructure.

“After an engineering training program in mechanical engineeringin Europe, I had the opportunity at the beginning of my professionalcareer to be associated with this important infrastructure project, oneof the first infrastructure projects in Africa to benefit from an entirelyprivate ‘build, own and operate’ (BOO) funding structure involving nostate backing,” he said. “I have had the privilege and responsibility tolead Azito Energie since 2007.”

Before the first electricity was generated, or even the first steps weretaken to build the power station, Ayé says the project facedconsiderable challenges.

“Before talking about the operational stage, I would first like torevisit a crucial step, which was decisive for the implementation of thisproject. This was the design and contractual structuring of the project,”he says. “In fact it was necessary to establish a new framework togovern the relationship between the state, the private concessionaires

responsible for managing the electricity service, the independentpower producers, and donors involved in financing,” he adds. “Theimplementation of this type of BOO contract was unknown at thattime, and the viability of the project required an adaptation of theinstitutional and regulatory legislation, particularly regarding thetransparency and management of financial flows to the sector, thesetting up of a specific tax and customs arrangements, etc. – measuresthat were sometimes at odds with all the different actors, but weremade possible thanks to a strong political will.”

In short, it was not always easy to introduce the framework andconditions conducive to private sector involvement.

Having achieved that part of the project’s development, Ayéencountered a new set of tests. “In the operational phase ourchallenges were, and still are, to maintain a high level of reliability andthe optimum performance of our facilities to meet the needs of theutility company to fulfil our contractual obligations.

“Besides a rigorous daily maintenance programme, we also carryout regular inspections and major revisions to the main equipment inagreement with our principle subcontractor Alstom of Switzerland.”

Between 2000 and 2010, Ayé explains, little investment had beenmade in the power sector due to the conflict that the countryendured. But from 2011, the government restored the confidence ofprivate investors and reinvigorated the sector with vigorous proactivepolicies. Ayé put it this way: “We had the obligation to produceelectricity, but we also needed to guarantee to our investors that wecould secure the payment by the local utility for the electricity wewere generating.” ■

Côte d’Ivoire’s newenergy capabilitiesThe inauguration of the third and final phase of the Azito power plantmarks a milestone in West African economic development

With a 50 per cent increase of Côte d’Ivoire’s annual electricity production, the countrywill have more than 3,000GWh available by 2016




It is an unquestionable fact that sub-Saharan Africa is starved for electricityand the consequences for the region’s

economic growth are grave. A recent reportinto Africa’s electricity sector by McKinsey &Company - the American managementconsulting firm - reported that, from anelectricity-access point of view, sub-SaharanAfrica’s situation is the world’s worst. Theregion has 13 per cent of the world’spopulation, but 48 per cent of the share ofthe global population without access toelectricity. The only other region with asimilar imbalance is South Asia, with 23 percent of the world’s population and 34 percent of the people without access toelectricity.

Developing industry infrastructureHowever, Africa’s power sector troubles arealso compounded, says McKinsey, by thefact that the underdevelopment is spreadright across energy access, installedcapacity and overall consumption. Andbecause of the direct correlation betweeneconomic growth and electricity supplymuch of the region, despite an abundanceof raw material resources, is yet to fulfill itsdevelopment promise.

Only seven countries - Cameroon, Côted’Ivoire, Gabon, Ghana, Namibia, Senegaland South Africa - have electricity accessrates exceeding 50 per cent. The rest of theregion has an average grid access rate ofjust 20 per cent. The only countries thathave electrification rates of less than 80 percent with GDP per capita greater thanUS$3,500 are those with significant wealthin natural resources - such as Angola,Botswana, and Gabon. However, even thesecountries fall well short of economicprosperity.

Average electricity consumption in sub-Saharan Africa, excluding South Africa, isonly about 150 kilowatt-hours per capita - afraction of consumption rates in Brazil,

India, and South Africa. So with almost 600million people in sub-Saharan Africa lackingaccess to electricity the task of electrifyingthe region is truly enormous.

But there is room for optimism in thelonger term. Demand is rising and theoutlook, based on a demand-drivenapproach, is that by 2040 sub-SaharanAfrica will consume nearly 1,600 terawatthours, four times what was used in 2010.This forecast by McKinsey is predicated on afivefold increase in GDP; a doubling ofpopulation; electricity-access levelsreaching more than 70 per cent; andincreased urbanisation. If this trend isindeed borne out then sub-Saharan Africawill consume as much electricity by 2040 asIndia and Latin America combined did in2010.

Satisfying this level of demand thoughwill be extremely challenging. And thelikelihood is that electrification levels in theregion will only reach 70 to 80 percent by2040. McKinsey’s research found that ittakes on average 25 years to progress froma 20 percent electrification rate to 80 percent electrification rate.

Nonetheless, sub-Saharan Africa is wellendowed with natural resources for futurepower generation. Excluding solar, theestimate is of a potential 1.2 terawatts ofcapacity. But when solar is included thispotential capacity leaps to a staggering 10terawatts or more.

There is also a potential for about 400gigawatts of gas-generated power, withMozambique, Nigeria, and Tanzania alonerepresenting 60 per cent of the totalcapacity.

Hydro power can supply about 350gigawatts of hydro with 50 per cent comingfrom the Democratic Republic of the Congo(DRC). The massive Grand Inga 40 gigawatthydroelectric project in the DRC - if it wereto happen - would be the largestinfrastructure project in history and with

the ability to deliver more than 200terawatt-hours of electricity. This is theequivalent of 13 per cent of all of sub-Saharan Africa’s total power demand by2040. No one is sure exactly how much itwill cost, but the estimate accepted byMcKinsey is about US$80bn, comprisingroughly US$40bn for generation andUS$40bn for transmission.

Promisingly, there are now moves toexpand the sub-continent’s hydro capacityinto the Sahel region. In June, the EranoveGroup - a major pan-African player in theelectricity and water sectors - signed a 30-year concession agreement with thegovernment of the Republic of Mali throughits subsidiary Kenié Energie Renouvelable.

Under the terms of the agreement, thegroup will finance, develop, build andoperate the Kenié hydro-electric damlocated in Baguinéda on the Niger River, 35km east of the capital Bamako. Constructionis due to begin in 2016 and the dam isscheduled to be in operation by 2020.

This development is an important one forpower-hungry Mali. According to WorldBank estimates, the country's currentinstalled power capacity of approximately414MW covers only half of potentialdemand. Initial simulations suggest thatthe Kenié dam could produce around175GWh, which is equivalent to the averageannual consumption of 175,000households.

Marc Albérola, CEO of the Eranove Groupsaid, "As part of the regional integration ofpower transmission networks, hydro-electricity can play a key role in increasingpower generation capacity. And we mustn'tforget micro and pico hydro-electricityeither. These small hydro-electric facilitiescan supply power to villages or groups ofvillages in remote areas far away frominterconnected transmission systems.” ■

Volvo Construction Equipment (Volvo CE)is one of the largest manufacturers ofconstruction machinery in the world.

The company’s status as a premium brandhas traditionally made Europe and NorthAmerica its biggest markets, but the relativeslow-down in the construction sector in theseheartlands, combined with the proliferation ofinfrastructure projects across the emergingmarkets has led it to turn its attention to thepotential of areas like the Middle East andAfrica.

While construction in the former has beenmore explosive and immediate, the sector onthe African continent is set to grow moresteadily.

“Africa continues to be important to VolvoCE in the long-term,” says Johan Haglund,Volvo CE’s vice president Hub South (Africa).“We don’t expect the market to take off ‘like ahockey stick’, but we expect long-termcontinuous growth.”

Mining and energy firms continue to drivethe demand for infrastructure across the

region, with business research group BMIrecently predicting the continuedproliferation of industrial facilities, particularlyin coastal regions.

“We find that South Africa and Algeria arethe biggest purchasers of constructionequipment,” says Haglund, confirming that “inSouth Africa our machinery is mainly used forcoal and hard rock mining, whereas in Algeria,road machinery and excavators are especiallypopular for infrastructure projects.”

Haglund says Volvo CE’s sales in Africatherefore centre on three main pieces ofmachinery; excavators, wheel loaders andarticulated haulers.

Wheel Loaders“As a percentage of the global constructionequipment market, value brands havegradually been growing towards 70 per centof the total world market, while you can seethe percentage and proportion of thepremium brands has been graduallydecreasing,” explains Tomas Kuta, president of

Volvo CE for the EMEA (Europe-Middle East-Africa) region. “That’s a trend we seedeveloping basically everywhere; to a lesserextent in some of the more mature marketsbut definitely extreme development in manyof the emerging markets – particularly inAfrica.”

With this in mind, the company recentlyreleased a new range of wheel loaders,designed specifically for the region; the ‘G-series’.

Volvo say the three new models, the L60Gz,L90Gz and L120Gz, are tailored to increaseproductivity in the most demandingconditions, featuring load-sensing hydraulics,a powerful and durable Z-bar linkage and awell-matched powertrain.

“Our research has shown that a significantnumber of African customers are using thewheel loaders with the bucket only, oftenfitted at the factory, so they don’t require theflexibility of the TP linkage,” Haglund explains.“The Z-bar linkage offers a higher breakoutforce when using buckets and because of this

it will be better optimized for African workingconditions.”

The G-series machines also have the sametransmission, engine and axels used in Volvo’sother wheel loaders, such as the F Series, butwith certain other aspects of the specificationmade optional in order to minimize the basecost.

As well as their application in mines andquarries, Volvo said the G Series machines areideal for use in cement factories – anothergrowth industry for Africa, where theexpansion of the construction sector isfeeding a growing demand for buildingmaterials.

Articulated HaulersVolvo’s range of highly adaptable articulatedhaulers are well-suited to both constructionand mining, and so, are popular across thecontinent – particularly the A35 model whichis a favourite in South Africa.

The machines are produced at thecompany’s factory in Braås – dubbed “thehome of articulated haulers” by site managerJörgen Sjöstrand – where more than 72,000units of various designs have been producedsince 1966.

The haulers have a robotically-welded,heavy-duty frame, which is shot blasted withsteel pellets rather than sand to reduce theneed for after welding, providing additionalstrength and durability.

The frames have a high ground clearanceand multiple oil-cooled disc breaks on allthree axles, making them ideal for off-roadapplications, and all models come equippedwith hydro-mechanical steering for preciseturning and maneuverability.

The haulers can also be fitted with anumber of optional extras to better adaptthem to one or more of Africa’swide range of extremeenvironments.

“Each country, or at least

each region has it’s own standard package,and then it can vary a bit,” explains Par-OlofGaard, Volvo’s articulated hauler productmanager.

Machines destined for Volvo’s secondlargest African market Algeria, for example,can be fitted with an oil bath air cleaner tofilter out sand more effectively – a popularaddition for the MENA (Middle East & NorthAfrica) region.

Customers also have the choice of twodifferent tyre types, for hard and soft ground,by four different brands; Bridgestone,Michelin, Goodyear and Yokohama.

“It’s very important to choose the right tiresfor sand,” Gaard explains. “You need floatationrather than traction in sand.”

ExcavatorsWhen it comes to excavators, Volvo offers amultitude in a number of varieties – wheeled,compact and crawler – for the African market.

In South Africa, Haglund says the largestmodels, such as the EC 480E and the EC

700C, are especially popular withmining contractors due to their

strength, power anddurability.

The EC 700C has a powerful 458hp D16Eengine for high torque, even at low RPMs, aswell as high breakout force, crowding forcesand slew speed.

The EC 480E has a D13 Stage IV/Tier 4 Finalengine and a reinforced three-pieceundercarriage with a X-shaped frame madefrom high-strength tensile steel for a long lifeand high uptime.

Volvo say both models come equippedwith advanced hydraulics systems for highdigging capacity, allowing for increasedproductivity as well as fuel economy.

African conquestSo how does Volvo CE see the African marketevolving, and how does the company plan tomeet the challenges that conquering itposes?

“South Africa and Algeria are likely toremain the largest markets,” says Haglund,“but Nigeria will also grow in importance. Wealso see a lot of growth in Egypt and the EastAfrican markets.”

Articulated hauler product manager Gaardis also keen to point to the many othercountries which Volvo has yet to crack,expanding into which is “absolutely” a keypart of the company’s African, and indeedglobal strategy.

“There are also many potentially bigmarkets where we currently don’t sell much,but which have huge potential,” says Gaard.“As it’s a fairly new concept, it takes sometime for it to settle like it once did in manyother countries.”

So how does Volvo plan to go about itsplanned expansion?

“Our strategy is to continue to build ourdistribution using multi-country dealers, inmany cases together with our sister companyVolvo Trucks,” explains Haglund. “By creatingthis critical mass for dealer investments, wealso enable good coverage in smallermarkets.” ■

Specialists in self-loading concrete mixers, Carmix has introduceddigital technology to innovative working with concrete. Its newdevice, Promix, enables instant control of the mix design, with dataavailable in real time for effective monitoring and increased quality.

Promix is the next-generation device which allows measurementof all concrete parameters for immediate monitoring of itscharacteristics, is available for the company's 5.5XL, 2.5TT and3.5TT models. Together with the Load Cells weighing system,already available on request, Carmix machines are now true stand-alone plants for producing concrete directly on the building site.

A portable analysis laboratoryPromix is a measuring instrument composed of a stainless-steel gaugehoused inside the cement mixer and powered by a solar panel, with adisplay in the cabin which receives information in real time. The sensorprovides data regarding slump, temperature, humidity, and cement-

mixer rotation speed, as well as featuring a 'mix-ready' indicator. Allthe data are updated every ten seconds and sent to the receiverwhich, thanks to an intuitive display, gives the operator details of allparameters of the concrete being prepared. This information can besaved to an external computer or sent to other mobile devices overthe GPS network.A new frontier for a perfect mix designThe ability to monitor numerous parameters quickly and effectivelyallows direct control over product quality and ensures that thisquality is maintained over time, for every batch. Having instant datato assess durability, workability and resistance therefore becomes acompetitive factor, because it eliminates the time necessary foranalysis and allows preparation of concrete which is perfectly in linewith legislation or with the particular requests of clients.

Hard porcelain tiles are becoming an increasingly-popular option forhomeowners in South Africa, due to their robust and aesthetically-pleasing characteristics. A range of 115mm Jaguar diamond sawblades simplifies the challenging task of accurately cutting these tiles. An innovative new design makes Jaguar the first blade capable ofachieving chip-free dry cutting of porcelain and ceramic tiles. It hasbeen introduced locally by Diamond Products - a leading specialist inthe manufacture, assembly and sale of diamond tools and equipmentfor industrial applications.

The trend of utilising hard porcelain tiles is a challenge for

professional contractors such as plumbers, tilers and builders, whoconsume considerable amounts of water during the cutting process inorder to avoid costly chipping.

Diamond products director Brian Clark explained, “The unique andpatented Jaguar blade segment design offers improved versatility ofapplication, increased cutting speed and improved cooling to enabledry cutting on porcelain and ceramic tiles, in addition to granite,marble, travertine and artificial stone.

Consultancy services firm SMEC South Africa has been closelyinvolved with the detailed design and project supervision of aninnovative mechanically stabilised earth (MSE) wall system on

the Ballito Drive road upgrade project in Durban, KwaZulu-Natal. Thiswas one of the first and largest applications of this technology inSouth Africa to date.

The design of the MSE walls involved close collaboration betweenSMEC South Africa, Kaytech Engineered Fabrics and Tensar. Developedas an alternative to traditional retaining wall options, the Tensar TW1system has been introduced to the South African market by Kaytech.

SMEC South Africa undertook the final design checks to ensure theoverall stability of the system and its compliance with projectspecifications and local codes. SMEC South Africa’s section manager:geotechnics, Fernando Pequenino explained, “These includedintegration of the system with the new roadway and New Jerseybarriers along the top of the wall. We also had to take cognisance ofthe overall geotechnical conditions.”

Reinforcing and retainingThe geotechnical investigation revealed that the site was underlain bythick coastal dune Berea deposits at the precise location of the MSEwalls, with bedrock at depths exceeding 30m. The design of the MSEwalls was based on SANS207: 2006: ‘The design and construction ofreinforced soils and fills’, which provides applicable guidance for thedesign of reinforced walls.

“A reinforced soil structure must be checked for external andinternal stability,” said Pequenino. External stability takes into accountsliding, bearing/tilt and overturning of the MSE block. Internal stabilityinvolves essential checks for failure against pull-out of the geogrid, aswell as failure against rupture. Ancillary checks include compressiveblock failure, block rotation and bulging and connection failures.

“The type of geosynthetic reinforcement selected must also takeinto account the soil properties of the reinforced, retained andfoundation materials,” Pequenino remarked. These soil propertiescontribute to determining the tensile strength, stiffness requirementsand spacing of the geogrid.

A key consideration of the design was to optimise the use of lower-quality fill material, while simultaneously reducing the quantity oflateral support required in cutting back and benching into the existingroadway (that is, the back excavation slope).

However, the use of such lower-quality fill material meant that thestrip lengths had to be increased, which implied either an increasedcut or the use of a near vertical back excavation slope requiring theuse of shotcrete and ground anchors or nails.

SMEC South Africa geotechnics engineer Frans van der Merwe said,“After a number of design iterations, the final design of the 11m-high

wall comprised the use of 7m-long strips, a granular (COLTO G6)backfill for most of the height and a 1m-thick granular soil-raftfoundation.”

Berea sand was used throughout for the upper 3m of the 11m walland the 5m-high wall.

Building at BallitoBallito Drive is located about 40km north-east of Durban. The scopeof work on this project entailed widening the two-lane singlecarriageway to a three-lane dual carriageway. The undulatingtopography of the site meant that earth-retaining structures had to bebuilt to bring the extra lanes to level.

The lane widening had to be carried out within the road reserve toeliminate encroachment into existing developments. As van derMerwe confirmed, the company proposed “two near-vertical MSEwalls of 11m and 5m, covering a total length of over 400m and2,000m2” in order to achieve this goal.

MSE walls comprise fill material with horizontal layers of reinforcingelements. This may take the form of sheets, grids, strips or meshes.These metallic or polymeric reinforcing elements are capable ofsustaining tensile loads and the effects of deformation or soil strainsdeveloped in the fill, part of which is transferred to the clad facethrough some form of positive connection.

Main contractor Afriscan Construction opted for the Tensar TW1proprietary MSE system, introduced into the South African market byKaytech. The system provides a number of benefits over other blockand mechanically stabilised earth systems.

These include the effective connection between block and geogrid,a near-vertical face inclination, locally manufactured blocks, aestheticappeal and labour-intensive construction, which eliminates the use ofheavy lifting equipment. ■

The strength to weight ratio of floor grating is an importantconsideration. Used in a number of industries, from processplants to wastewater treatment facilities to petrochemical

facilities and oil refineries, industrial floor grating needs to be durableand fit for purpose.

A capacity for quality and safetyAs the single largest producer of floor grating in Africa, Andrew Mentishas built an extensive database of customer applications that focus onquality and safety. All manufacturing is undertaken at an advancedfacility in Johannesburg, South Africa, in adherence to stringentquality processes, with close tolerances being maintained.

Andrew Mentis RS40 floor grating is engineered to take a specificloading, which ensures the safety of people walking or working in thoseareas. By carefully reviewing the technical specifications and otherinformation relating to the load bearing capacity of the product, superiorfloor grating is produced for mezzanines, catwalks, platforms and ramps.

The non-slip characteristics of Mentis


Products for processingPrior to the start of the manufacturing process, a technical representative from Andrew Mentismeets with the customer to determine their precise needs and ensure maximised structuralintegrity. Thereafter the processing department compiles the layout of required productsaccording to structural drawings supplied.

There are specific non-negotiable factors that Andrew Mentis takes into considerationduring the production of floor grating. The manufacturing method used by the companyensures that the transversals are positively and permanently locked to the bearer bars.

The compressive pressure locking method at the intersections is engineered to use the fulldepth of the bearer bar and the grating panels are flat, square and untwisted with a pitch of40mm by 40mm. As a result there are no cracks or crevices at intersections which couldharbour corrosion.

The grating’s non-slip characteristics are created by the positive raised sections thatproduce multi-directional obstructions on the top of each bearer bar, allowing for a far largersurface contact area.

Mentis floor grating is also available with a serrated profile for those customers that haveapplication for this. The company also supplies moulded fibre glass grating which is used incorrosive environments where steel cannot be used. ■

The multiple models in the Magni series provideAfrican contractors with all the capabilities of acompact lifting device


Rotating machines thatoffer added versatility

The versatility of today’s compact machines with all their availableattachments, including pallet forks and a safe access platform inthe case of Italy’s Magni Telescopic Handlers*, is now recognised

by construction contractors throughout Africa. These are essentiallyhighly manoeuvrable cranes equipped with a rotating function alongwith a rigid telescopic boom - which incorporates protectedhydraulics within its multiple sections - that offer a great deal more.Such as electronics soft ware that ensures a safeload/height/extension combination cannot be exceeded even onuneven ground.

How the HTH meets industry requirementsReaching to a height of well over 30m, the maxi-spec R5.35S machinewhich was launched at Intermat this year is believed to be the highestrotating telescopic forklift available anywhere in the world – a boon tobuilding contractors who want to reach maximum height with aserious load anywhere. The company also offers a number of heavyduty HTH models which are designed to meet the special lifting andaccess requirements of the mining and energy-producing industries.

Key features of the medium-size RTH range (12 recently introducedmodels of varying handling capacities in terms of the available loadchart , including four in the innovative Smart series which was extendedthis year) include a registered design of cab which incorporates aunique touch-screen control surface in place of the normal hands-onpanel. The images displayed all correspond to the machines’ specialapplication software. Joystick control is also available via CAN BUS for allmovements of the turret, boom and attachments.

Other features of the series’ operating environment include amovable steering column and complete climate control.

Reaching out with the RTHMagni’s newly designed, compact outrigger-based stabilising systemincorporates both pivoting and telescoping functions to increasethe RTH models’ lifting performance and safety under allconditions. Built-in software controls an active dynamic “SuperScissor” design which can take full account of unevenground conditions which may necessitate varying lengthsof the four extended legs.

These machines offer a choice between JCB Ecomax(Tier 4i) and Daimler M-B (3B) engines. Chip-enabledBosch Rexroth transmissions permit on-road travel at upto 40km/hr. All models in the new rotating range areassembled on one of two types of chassis, featuring arigid structure to eliminate twisting and increase stability, features


which are augmented by the extremely sophisticated design of thestabilising outrigger system itself.

The RTH series’ built-in load sensing hydraulics comprise a BoschRexroth variable displacement pump (main), latest-generation SauerDanfoss valves incorporating electro-proportional control, andinstantaneous spool-position detection in accord with the most up-to-date electronic-control safety requirements.

All the RTH booms are rigid and sturdy, equipped with exclusive(patented) hydraulics operating at the head end. The company’s neat

and compact quick-fit attachment system (also protected by patent)reduces the end-boom weight/moment and thereby facilitates both

greater safety and more sensitive control of all attachments. Thus itis completely impossible for a work platform, for example, to

detach from the boom when it is in ‘lifted’ mode.RFID is built into the boom head to permit automatic

recognition of the attachment itself. The load chart isconsequently selected by the machine which is pre-disposed

to limit the load/length combination that works with thatspecific device.

All the rotating handlers’ 24V electrical/electronicssystems incorporate IP67 protection against unwantedpenetration by dust, rainwater etc. The telehandlers arecontrolled by a CAN BUS circuit that transmits allnecessary data about all the electronic componentsfitted on board, permitting all information about theperformance of the engine, transmission and loadmonitoring systems to be displayed on the user-friendly touch screen.

Effective lubrication and maintenance is key to long-term efficiency

Alack of maintenance on electric motors in African industry hasresulted in excessive failures, which ultimately lead to

unnecessary downtime costs and production stoppages. Accordingto Craig FitzGerald, COO at wear control specialist Filter Focus, themajority of smaller scale electric motors operating locally are nevergreased or lubricated. He said, “In my experience, most maintenanceengineers are not even aware that there are bearings on electricmotors. As a result, no lubrication is done, and costly and easily-avoidable failure occurs.”

FitzGerald added that an electric motor is typically lubricated onceat the manufacturing facility. “Generally it is a medium to low qualitylubricant that is applied once only, and this is simply not sufficient forthe operational lifespan of the motor. Due to the fact that thesemotors are often found in confined and hard-to-reach places that arelocated at-height or under moving conveyor belts, they are unwittingly neglected by site supervisors too,” he said. Lubrication

softens the harsh metal-to-metal contact between gears. During thiscontact, air bubbles are formed when cheap, low-quality lubricantsare applied. FitzGerald observed that this is one of the countlessforms of destructive contamination. He said, “There is often the beliefthat using cheaper lubrications will save the operation money,however, the expenses associated with the long-term maintenanceand wear problems will prove to be exceptionally costly anddisruptive.”

Due to the harsh operating conditions in Africa, motors andgearboxes become particularly susceptible to rust, corrosion ordeterioration. FitzGerald said, “These threats arise from the climate, dirtyoperational environments, as well as low level artisans and cleaners thatspray the equipment with water during cleaning, inadvertentlydamaging the equipment , due to a lack of training and knowledge.”

Fire safety and emergency lightingtechnology is a key feature of themodern built environment, helping to

ensure the wellbeing of building users, and ithas long been compulsory across Europe tohave this equipment installed in publicbuildings. Following suit, a growing numberof African governments have introducedlegislation of their own. In recent years, forexample, the South African Part T (FireProtection) of the National BuildingRegulations has come into use. However,many businesses are also going one stepfurther to ensure the safety of their staff andcustomers by actively adopting advancedEuropean legislation as a best practicestandard. One such element of the law inplace in European countries being adoptedby businesses across Africa is a requirementfor building owners to perform regularmaintenance of their property’s equipment toensure it is working properly.

Poor and irregular maintenance of lifesafety equipment has a number ofconsequences for building owners, not theleast of which is the increased risk of falsealarms. False alarms don’t just causedisruption to the building’s residents, theyalso divert fire and rescue services fromattending genuine fire incidents. Accordingto recent figures from the UK Government ,the country’s fire and rescue servicesattended nearly a quarter of a million falsealarms over the last two years, caused byfaulty fire safety systems [Hochiki to provide afigure for Africa if available]. This poses asignificant risk to the safety and well-being ofbuilding occupants.

Occupant wellbeing and the financial costof false alarms are just as relevant to buildingowners in Africa as they are to those inEurope. So how can specifiers supportbuilding owners to take care of their fire

safety and emergency lighting systems asefficiently as possible?

Streamlining maintenanceSpecifiers can help building owners ensureregulatory compliance while optimisingoperational efficiency is by considering theparticular maintenance needs of theirproposed life safety equipment.

Some technologies require more care andmonitoring over their lifetime than others.Some equipment may also be vulnerable tounexpected performance issues that can leadto unplanned downtime or even expensiverepairs. Installing such products will costbuilding owners more time and money tomaintain, increasing their total cost ofownership (TCO).

However, by selecting solutions that haveminimal aftercare needs, specifiers can helpstreamline these processes for buildingowners. Opting for equipment that comeswith a comprehensive warranty, for instance,can lower the cost of unplannedmaintenance and repairs, while installing self-testing fire safety and emergency lightingtechnology can cut the time building ownershave to spend looking after their systems.

Cutting energy consumptionThe energy use of a property’s emergencylighting technology is another key factor thatspecifiers need to address to supportbuilding owners in reconciling efficiency withoccupant safety.

A system that requires more electricity tooperate will end up costing considerablymore over its lifetime than one thatconsumes less. In addition, building ownersin rural or emerging economic areas may findthemselves vulnerable to brown-outs, whenmains electricity is severely reduced for partof the day, relying on personal generators to

limit disruption. With this in mind, emergencylighting that uses a lot of electricity will be asignificant drain on resources, affecting theperformance of other key equipment in thebuilding.

There are more energy-efficient lightingsolutions that can considerably cut operatingcosts for building owners over their lifetime.Lighting systems incorporating low-voltagecabling and LEDs, for example, consume justfive per cent of the energy of standardfluorescent tubes , significantly reducing theirTCO. Moreover, LED light fittings only needfive per cent of the lamp changes needed bytraditional luminaires, further streamliningmaintenance for building owners.

Looking for supportRegular maintenance of fire safety andemergency lighting systems is a necessity forbuilding owners to ensure their equipmentcontinues to offer the performance needed tocomply with legislation being introducedacross Africa. To enable them to achieve thisaim with minimal impact on operationalefficiency, specifiers need to choose the mostappropriate equipment for the building inquestion.

There is plenty of support available fromlife safety specialists to guide them in thisgoal. For example, Hochiki Europe hasrecently launched an online efficiencycalculator that can help users assess theperformance of existing equipment andrecommend upgrades to maximise efficiency.

Making use of such advice can enablespecifiers to select the best technology for abuilding’s needs, not just to reduce operatingcosts for owners, but to safeguard the healthand wellbeing of its users too. ■

Nearly everyone now owns one, butvery few people are aware that behindthe plastic screen and shiny case of

their smartphone is an array of preciousmetals. An iPhone 5 for example contains$1.58 of gold, $0.36 of silver, $0.05 ofplatinum and $0.12 of copper and many “rareearth” elements like Yttrium, Lanthanum,Neodymium, Gadolinium, and Europium.

LCD TVs, electric cars, indeed any modern-day electronic product contains similarelements and there is now huge demand onmines from around the world to deliver theseores in high quantities.

This demand means that the global miningindustry is booming. New sites are comingonline while existing locations are expandingthrough deeper excavations.

Many of these mines in Africa, SouthAmerica, Asia and Australia are located inremote areas. As a result, reliable andeffective communications networks areessential for safe and efficient miningoperations and processes.

In-pit Autonomous Haulage Systems (AHS),Autonomous Drilling Systems (ADS),driverless freight train control, anti-collisionsystems, in-pit proximity detection, in-pitCCTV, high precision GPS, and an array oftelemetry systems and sensors are nowintegral components of successful mine sitesaround the world. They are also connected tocommand and control centres, which in somecases are around 1000km away from themine.

From legacy to LTE networksMany legacy networks based on Wi-Fi, 2G, 3G,proprietary VHF, or PMR can no longer meetthese systems’ demand for uninterruptedradio coverage, quality of service (QoS)management, and security requirements inthe changing topography of an open-pitmine.They are also unable to deliver the bandwidthrequired for comprehensive CCTV networks.This was the case at Rio Tinto’s West Angelasmine in the Pilbara region of WesternAustralia. Here Wi-Fi trailers set up around themine were no longer up to the job of

supporting the mine’s mission-criticalapplications, and were potentially putting itsperformance in jeopardy. This led to a rethinkof the in-pit, pit-to-port, an in-terminal portradio communications infrastructure, with RioTinto tasking Alcatel-Lucent to deliver aprivate single and converged ultra-broadband 4G LTE network for its pit fields,railways, and ports.

LTE delivers numerous benefits to themining industry. These include thebandwidth required for video services, evenin areas with a disturbed radio environment,

dependable QoS management, as well asintrinsic resiliency and cyberprotection, and alow latency of 10ms, which is essential formission-critical applications requiring fastresponse times.

ISince coming online in August 2013, theperformance of Rio Tinto’s LTE network hasled some observers to comment that theyhave a better mobile signal in the middle ofthe mine, hundreds of miles from the nearestcity, than in their office.

Meeting the needs of machinesAn LTE network is also contributing toreduced operating costs by using an IPprotocol to support all applications on asingle converged radio network, andimprovements in operational efficiency. Andwith the solution scalable to accommodatenew technologies and services, LTEtechnology is well placed to meet the M2Mdemands of the mining industry. ■

Weba Chute Systems recentlycompleted a chute upgrade projectat Anglo American Platinum’s

(Amplat’s) Mogalakwena North Mine. Thechutes were installed originally in 2006 andsubsequently lined with ceramic tiles in 2013in order to cope with the sticky fines material.

Weba Chute Systems project manager TedCruickshank said, “This project showcased thetotal solutions approach adopted by WebaChute Systems in being able to respond tospecific client problems and challenges.

From temp bypass to upgraded transferAt the beginning of 2014 Weba Chute Systemsinstalled a temporary bypass leg on one chute

in order to bypass the material onto astockpile. Following this, under the auspices ofWorley Parsons RSA, it was awarded a contract

to remove the temporary leg and place apermanent fixture on both chutes.

Cruickshank said, “Slight modifications hadto be carried out to the existing chutes inorder to incorporate the new legs, feedingthe outgoing conveyors at various angles.Therefore, this was quite a complex projectthat required a lot of time and ingenuity onthe part of Weba Chute Systems in coming upwith an appropriate solution.”

The incoming belt was a 1 050 mmconveyor with a speed of 2 m/s and a materialbulk density of

2.6t/m3. The maximum material size was10mm and a required tonnage of 600t/h.However, a maximum tonnage of 1,000t/h is

possible with the solution provided by WebaChute Systems.

Cruickshank explained that Weba ChuteSystems’ upfront involvement in projects rightfrom the design stage helps to mitigate manyof the problems associated with transferpoints.

He said, “Consulting with us during this vitalphase means that we can bring theexperience and expertise we have gainedduring thousands of installations to bear onan individual project.”

It also eliminates the situation wheretransfer points need to be redesigned afterinstallation because certain critical factorshave not been taken into account.

One of the most common problemsassociated with conventional chute design iswhere the product drops from any heightdirectly onto the belt. Cruickshank said, “Sucha basic design fault causes the mostcatastrophic damage and cost, as the impactof product falling directly onto the belt resultsin excessive wear and, in the worst-case

scenario, can even result in tearing of the belt.In addition to the impact, excessive spillagealso results in increased maintenancerequirements. This has a direct bearing onboth productivity and costs, due tounnecessary downtime and componentreplacement.”

A cascade designThe Weba Chute System is based on a‘supertube’ or cascade effect that results fromthose occasions when material runs onmaterial. This highly innovative approach tothe dynamics of bulk materials handlingresults in significant cost savings for clients. Italso showcases the considerable expertiseand experience that allows Weba ChuteSystems to be able to engineer solutions forspecific client requirements.

To date the company has engineered over4,000 transfer chutes that are operatingsuccessfully throughout the global miningindustry. Irrespective of belt speed, beltwidth, material size, shape or throughput,the Weba Chute System eliminates theproblems associated with conventionaltransfer chutes as well as providing a costeffective and environmentally friendlysolution for material transfer. ■

The manufacturing of ChromiumCarbide (CrC) Liner Plates has vastly

improved since the product was firstintroduced to the market 35 years ago,with top liner plate expert Rio-Carbplaying a leading role in advancingtechnology and developing innovativevariations in manufacturing methods.What’s more, Rio-Carb is the only CrC linerplate and equipment manufacturer whosewelding standards are compliant with theinternationally-recognised AmericanWelding Society (AWS).

Rio-Carb managing director MartinMaine reveals that local South Africanwelding standards do not make provisionfor CrC welding, which requires specialisedtechniques. He warned, “The welding ofCrC faces risks if not carried out inaccordance to certain specifications.”

Maine indicated that the biggestchallenge with CrC is to get the weldbeads smooth, as rough weldsimmediately create more cavities anddisturbances to the material flow. MrMaine said, “Customers need to be wary ofcompanies that do not have certifiedwelding processes as this may causemajor future problems.”

Rio-Carb moved into a new productionfactory with state-of-the-art equipmentand technology, to provide “CrC designersand users with first-hand experience anddetailed information for the application ofthis unique material”, Maine said.

Health & Safety

One of the most imminent risks involved with mining operations isfire, which is a constant threat in numerous applications, ranging

from the battery operated head lights used for underground mining,to fuel storage for mobile mining equipment.

A major obstacle to fire safety in the mining industry is thatstandard dry chemical powder (DCP) handheld extinguishers arespecified onsite. Although DCP extinguishers are highly-effective inextinguishing flames, they offer minimal cooling properties. Thisresults in re-ignition of flames, particularly in fuel and rubber fires,thereby increasing the risk of property damage and loss of life. Rubberfires can occur on conveyor belts, tyres, and plastic or rubber pipes. Inthis scenario, a first responder would typically use a number of DCPextinguishers to subdue the recurring flames, while waiting untilfirefighters extinguish it permanently.

The powder inside DCP extinguishers also compacts as a result ofvibration when placed on a moving vehicle. This compacted powdercreates the risk of malfunction when activated, creating further healthand safety concerns. As a result, DCP extinguishers placed on mobileequipment need to be serviced more frequently, which results inhigher costs for mining operations.

DCP extinguishers also pose serious operator and environmentalhazards too. When used in confined spaces, they can affect operatorvisibility, and excessive powder inhalation can prove to be fatal.Discharged powder often ends up in water ways and filtrationsystems, causing contamination or blockages, and the discarding andclean-up process can be long and costly.

A more effective and environmentally-friendly alternativeEnvironmental solutions company I-CAT offers a range of Water Misthandheld fire extinguishers. Utilising water as the main agent andnitrogen as a propellant, this handheld range is capable ofextinguishing most types of fire, including; rubber and plastic fires;kitchen cooking oil fires; diesel and petrol fires; and electrical firesrated up to 350kV.

Using patentedtechnology fromEurope, the atomisedmist generated by theextinguisher graduallycools down a hotsurface without causingthermal shock. I-CAT firedivision manager AndroGibhard said recently, “Itcreates a thermal heatradiation barrierbetween the operatorand the fire, therebypreventing the operatorfrom getting burned when operating the extinguisher.”

The Water Mist range is environmentally-friendly and ensuresgreater operator safety. Mr Gibhard said, “Each litre of water amountsto 120 m2 coverage capability, making it extremely safe and efficient.What’s more, the small quantity of water used also results in little to noredundancy or damage.”

All locomotives are fitted withtwo Voith component sets, consisting of an L 530 breU2 turbotransmission, a cooling system, as well as highly-flexible couplings fromthe BR 152 and BR 199 range.For this major order, Voith has equipped its newly developed coolingsystem with ‘SilentVent’ high-performance fans and weight and space-saving double block radiators. These partsallow maximum cooling output within thespecified small installation space andensure high power density. The highly-flexible coupling in thedriveline shifts the critical naturalfrequencies below the operating speed.This protects the system’s componentsagainst critical vibrations and increasesthe service life and the availability of thedriveline. At the core of the driveline is the adaptableL 530 breU2 turbo transmission. Incombination with the Voith Turbo drivecontrol system and a CAN-Bus interface,it ensures high traction and optimal

efficiency across the entire output range of 1,000kW to 1,700kW.With considerable investment being placed in railway infrastructureupgrades in South Africa, Voith is well-positioned to add substantialvalue to this market with its tried-and-trusted, and internationally-recognised product offering. “Voith will actively contribute to the development of regional industryby localising its manufacturing and sourcing of components,” saidThemba Makoti, projects co-ordinator for the local rail division.

DemolitionBobcat loader demonstrates versatility and flexibilityThe Bobcat S550 skid-steer loader is used effectively around the worldfor demolitiion projects. One example is the recent rental by UK firmMTS Plant Hire & Sales Hughes & Salvidge Demolition, one of the UK’sleading decommissioning companies, to demolish a British landmark,Castle Market in Sheffield.

The Bobcat S550 loader as supplied by MTS, has proved to be a vitalpiece of equipment. Due to its compact size, it has been able to workeasily in the confined spaces inside the market, collecting debris andrubble with the Bobcat grapple attachment also supplied by MTS.

Demolition work began with careful asbestos removal, followed bya ‘soft strip’, with the superstructure now being demolished down tothe concrete, with 98 per cent of the waste material being recycled.Some elements of the demolition have had to be carried out by handwith steel plates utilised to protect and preserve the ground under thestructure.

With its ability to turn around in its own length and fast cycle times,the Bobcat S550 skid-steer loader provides the manoeuvrability andproductivity needed to do more work in less time than other types ofequipment. Together with controls that allow for precise movements

even in the tightest of spaces, Bobcat compact loaders such as the S550model ensure safe, efficient operation at all times in areas inaccessibleto traditional machines.

A mobile application transforming theinternational remittance space, SimbaPaynow allows Kenyans living abroad tomake M-Pesa PayBill payments. M-PesaPayBill has previously only been availableto Safaricom M-Pesa subscribers in Kenyaand allows the subscribers to payhunderds of vendors via M-Pesa. BySimbaPay granting PayBill access to itscustomers, Kenyans abroad can now alsopay hundreds of vendors and utilitycompanies in Kenya directly via M-PesaPayBill.

Nyasinga Onyancha, CEO at SimbaPay,commented, “Our customers want to payvendors in Kenya faster and withouthaving to go through friends and family.This new product allows them to do justthat, especially for time sensitivepayments such as those to hospitals, stock brokers and the like.”

SimbaPay customers will not require a Safaricom phone numberor M-Pesa registration to pay vendors via PayBill as is currently the

case for M-Pesa subscribers living inKenya. SimbaPay charges zero fees for itsinstant money transfers to M-Pesa PayBillnumbers.

Kenyans living abroad with a bankaccount, debit card or credit card will beable to use the SimbaPay app to make M-Pesa PayBill payments from any mobilephone, tablet or computer. Transfers madeusing SimbaPay to M-Pesa PayBillnumbers are credited instantly.

For ease of use, the majority of M-PesaPayBill numbers and vendors have alsobeen pre-loaded on to the SimbaPayplatform which eliminates the need forcustomers having to remember a vendor’sPayBill number. At the time of making anM-Pesa Paybill transfer using SimbaPay,customers will be required to select the

vendor to be paid and then enter their account number with thevendor. For example if paying a hospital bill, the patient numberwill be required.
