Hi MENA’s Unemployment: The Facts!.

Hi MENA’s Unemployment: The Facts!.

Social initiative Silatech and innovation laboratory Visualizing Impact released an infographic about the state of unemployment in the MENA-region. They found that 28% of the MENA-region’s 15 – 28-year-olds are unemployed, which means that 7 million young Arabs get delayed in the job market.

If the number of unemployed Arab youths is halved, the region’s Gross Domestic Product can increase by $25 billion by 2018, according to the International Labor Organization.

Silatech’s CEO Tarek Youssef stated that unemployment hinders young people from getting married and having a family, which obstructs their capability to contribute to and build their community. “The anger and frustration we see in the news these days has its roots in the depression these young people feel due to lack of hope,” he adds.

In Egypt, getting married costs 11 times a single person’s household annual expenses – in other words, it is much cheaper to stay single and live alone. On average, a groom-to-be is asked to spend what is equivalent to his two-year-salary to pay for the wedding and marriage in Egypt, of which he usually pays 40%. His family and the bride’s family each contribute with 30%.

The independence age in the MENA-region for women (24 years) is close to the global average, however, the age for males lies at 29, the eldest in comparison to East Asia, Sub-Saharan Africa and South America & the Carribean.

Hi $300bn worth of rail and metro projects announced or under way in the Middle East.

Hi $300bn worth of rail and metro projects announced or under way in the Middle East.

The annual MEED MENA Rail & Metro Summit was told this morning that a total of $300bn worth of rail and metro projects are under way or planned in the Middle East & North Africa (MENA) region.

“Every single country in the MENA region has rail project ambitions,” MEED Projects’ director of analysis Ed James said.

“Not all of these projects will go ahead, but the figure is indicative of the scale of what is happening.”

James said Saudi Arabia had the largest rail project pipeline in the region with over $100bn, including the Riyadh Dammam High-Speed Rail, which is currently under study, along with the Eastern Province Municipality – Dammam Metro. Qatar boasts a rail and metro project pipeline valued at $40bn, followed by the UAE with $30bn. Across the region, the other big investments will be seen in Egypt, Iran, Kuwait and Oman.

Meanwhile, a keynote speaker at the summit says delivering rail and metro megaprojects in the Middle East presents unique challenges.

“A lot of the projects in the region are aiming for completion in the period to 2022,” Fluor (UAE) programme manager Dago Beek said in a keynote speech. “2020 is a huge challenge whether it is for projects or rolling stock.”

“These are strategic projects where co-operation with all stakeholders is required,” he said.

“We need confirmation of stakeholder standards and regulations. We need the required drawings for existing and proposed services. And we need to deal with overlapping transport corridors.”

“We need transport safety laws and multi-modal regulations,” Beek said.

“Right of way and land acquisition is an issue. Every piece of land is owned and getting alignment straight is a huge challenge.”

“We should move in a more professional manner when dealing with systems assurance,” Beek said. “And we need to be more professional when we are dealing with communication.”

Beek said that a key technical challenge is dealing with sand dunes drifting across the alignment of railways passing through deserts.

“There is no one solution to this challenge,” he said.

A possible technical solution brought forward at the summit was the use of viaducts of about 3 metres in height upon which railways would run.

“There is no single solution to this challenge,” Fluor (UAE) programme manager Dago Beek said a question and answer session after his opening keynote speech at the summit.

Fluor Corporation and Parsons Brinckerhoff are project managers on the $7bn Saudi Landbridge rail project which will connect Jeddah with Riyadh and the Saudi capital with the Gulf coast. Beek said the final full alignment of the project is not yet fixed, but it will include a stretch from Jeddah to the Riyadh area. The possible alignment of a link between Riyadh and the Gulf coast is now under review.

The MEED MENA Rail & Metro Summit is sponsored by Fluor, ZTE, Louis Berger, Vossloh Middle East, Bechtel, Drake & Scull, Autodesk, Hill International, Parsons and Thales.

Hi Egypt PM to inaugurate $560 mln worth of projects: report:

Egyptian Prime Minister Ibrahim Mihleb says he will inaugurate projects in four provinces worth $559.24 million after Eid al-Adha on Oct. 4. (File photo: AFP)Egyptian Prime Minister Ibrahim Mihleb says he will inaugurate projects in four provinces worth $559.24 million after Eid al-Adha on Oct. 

Egyptian Prime Minister Ibrahim Mihleb says he will inaugurate projects in four provinces worth four billion Egyptian pounds ($559.24 million) after Eid al-Adha on Oct. 4, a local newspaper said Wednesday.

Mihleb told Al Masry Al Youm the four provinces to benefit from the projects are Asyut, Gharbiya, the Red Sea and Port Saeed.

He said he would visit Asyut to open 1,050 residential units that will go to those on limited incomes. Each residential unit will cost about 100,000 pounds, 5,000 would go as down payment and the rest mortgaged.

Mihleb will be visiting Port Saeed to open residential units there as well.

The prime minister also said that his government was set to eradicate “shanty towns.”

During his inaugural speech early this year, President Abdel Fatah al-Sisi highlighted the plight of the country’s farmers and rural poor, promising to develop the agricultural sector, provide more arable land and support those in desperate need.

Hi Considerations for Choosing an Industrial Ventilation System!.

Hi Your Choices for Consideration of an industrial ventilation system!!!

Industrial Ventilation Fan Systems can be a necessary component to any commercial or industrial operating company.  These ventilation systems benefit not only the productivity of your employees and machines, but can affect your company’s bottom line as well.  When considering ventilation systems for your building, there are five key factors to consider:

1.  Objectives of the Ventilation Fan System;

These are generally multi-faceted, from personnel comfort and employee health to increased production efficiency and more.  For example, are you looking to provide general ventilation for fume or odor removal, or are you looking for personnel cooling because of heat stress on employees? Ensure your objectives are overcoming the biggest problems and accomplishing the most important benefits.

2.  Budget;

Availability of money to finance the system is a key factor that must be considered early in the planning stage. The funds available will affect the objectives you set and influence the system of ventilation selected. Expenses include equipment, as well as mechanical and electrical installation costs.  In some cases you may set out a ventilation plan that takes two or more years to complete due to limited funding. 

3.  Practical Limitations within the Building;

There are certain limitations in any production environment. The location of heat-generating equipment, partitions such as pallet racks or machinery within the building, or large cross-sectional areas are a few. Other circumstances may be air circulation obstructions such as machinery, raw materials, or finished goods.  We see a lot of what we call “short circuits,” where ventilation fans are placed next to wall openings or loading dock doors.  Thus, air is brought in thru the openings and then discharged by the fan before it's had a chance to provide cooling within the structure.

4.  Common Sense Factors;

In planning a ventilation system, taking advantage of the location of exhaust fans and prevailing wind direction will aid the system’s efficiency.  Economy of “long dimension” is helpful in reducing the cross-sectional area of a building, thus minimizing needed air velocity. Significance of noise production of a ventilation system must be taken into account. Additionally, you will always want to use the cleanest, coolest air source to circulate through the building. Other considerations include other production equipment that depends on airflow to perform its intended purpose such as paint booths, dust and fume extraction systems, make-up air systems, etc.  

5.  Benefits of a Ventilation Fan System;

All companies want to realize economies from good planning.  The greatest benefit that can come from a well-designed ventilation system is that it achieves its basic purpose and design.  A system where all components work together is essential. Replacement of exhaust air with “make-up air” fans may be necessary. Good planning will also recognize the necessity for proper air distribution and circulation through an occupied building, not just exhausting bad air.

These five considerations, when accounted and planned for properly, will ensure a unified industrial ventilation system that accomplishes tangible benefits for a company’s productivity and profitability. There are many industrial ventilation fan system design manufacturers including Hammam Industries & Co. in Egypt who supply, install, maintain & service the fan system design equipment.
