According to a recent Congressional Research Service Report, world demand for rare earth metals will continue to grow with the growth of the middle class, especially in China, India and Africa. Demand will continue to grow because high tech products and renewable energy technology cannot function without rare earth metals.

The patented design of the PL4808D marks other significant technical advances over traditional side boom pipelayers — not just its superior stability but, if needed, also its ability to swap booms and convert into a standard excavator configuration. A digging kit is available and the hydraulics are optimized for both pipelayer and excavator operations. With up to 80% common parts with its sibling Volvo excavator, the servicing, wear parts replacement and maintenance requirements of having a PL4808D in the fleet is considerably eased. And the PL4808D comes equipped with a Volvo D13H engine, for even greater power.

Not only can the PL4808D lay pipes all around the machine, it can also operate on slopes of up to 30 degrees and rugged terrain A solid footing is secured, thanks to 30 in. (750 mm) tracks – which can be upgraded to wider 42 in. (1,050 mm) tracks for added stability and lower ground pressure. The extra wide undercarriage is hydraulically retractable, decreasing the pipelayer's width to make road transportation easier.

Volvo pipelayers feature long booms that offer higher hook heights and longer reach, allowing the machine to lift and lower pipes at a safe distance from the trench. If needed, a boom extension is also available, offering additional reach and hook height. The PL4808D's newly designed counterweight is situated to the side for a lower center of gravity and greater stability — as well as easy cleaning. A mechanical anti two-block with wireless sensor prevents the winch blocks from coming in contact during lifting. Inside the cab, the high pull winch can be operated using the operator's preferred joystick. A mode switch boosts performance, using split pump flow for better load controllability during simultaneous travel/lift operations – or combined flow for maximum performance speed when travelling or in stationary pipe laying operations. A fine work mode gives high pressure and low flow for maximum lifting power but minimal fuel use.

The setting up of mega project will draw foreign investors to the country despite the fact that local investors are also shifting their entities abroad.

The TSML mega project worth over $350 million has been sponsored mainly by the Saudi Arabia-based Al Tuwairqi Company (ISPC) and Posco of South Korea. State-of-the-art Direct Reduction Route of Iron (DRRI) making plant would have begun production sooner but the project was put on hold due to a financial crunch. South Korean steel giant, Posco, has invested $16 million to keep this project going.

Rizvi expressed the hope that a revolution of industrial growth is in the offing. He said that TSML is Pakistan’s first private sector integrated environment-friendly steel manufacturing project. Moreover, it will serve as a catalyst for industrial growth in the country as steel is vital to economic development, he said.

He further said that as DRI technology is the latest in the world and is being used in developed and developing countries alike, high quality products can be achieved through it. Furthermore, he said that the technology is environment-friendly.

Rizvi said that the TSML’s DRI plant, after commercial production, would not only meet the country’s steel requirements but would also create job opportunities for technical and skilled labour.
