The construction sector is a major contributor to the Egyptian economy and one of its fastest-growing sectors. This growth, estimated at an average of 20 to 22 percent annually since the 1980s, is fueled by the ever-increasing demand for housing and by the state's large infrastructure projects. Among these projects are the Greater Cairo Wastewater Project, considered one of the largest sewerage developments in the world, and the US$88.5 billion South Valley Development project, which aims to create an alternative delta along the Nile and relocate urban communities so as to ease the severe congestion in the major cities.

According to the Construction Industry Institute, modularization entails the large-scale transfer of stick-build construction effort from the jobsite to one or more local or distant fabrication shops/yards in order to exploit one or more strategic advantages. Nonetheless, the majority of projects today still do not exploit these strategic advantages to their fullest potential.
Modular Construction has many advantages over conventional stick-build construction. These benefits include shorter schedules, lower cost overall cost, minimal plant site interruption and many more. Strengthen your knowledge of when and why to choose modularization as a project delivery model.

The decision and process behind rewriting or re-architecting a system is often plagued with a series of problems: people always underestimate the complexity, people never fully understand the customers, system requirements constantly change out from under them, and, in almost all cases, it takes much longer than anybody can predict. As part of this workshop, we’ll look at a couple of case studies of re-architecture to gleam strategies of success from them as well as common pitfalls to avoid. This workshop should arm you with a framework by which to approach your own decisions around how to manage, maintain, and evolve your own systems:
* understanding the underlying motivations;
* developing a method for deciding whether to evolve or to rewrite;
* managing the engineering effort of re-architecture in the midst of a changing business;
* setting up metrics to understand whether you’re on course; and
* organizing the engineering team and the culture to ensure success
Social applications have been venues for people to converse, emote, and share -- and in those applications, "when" has always been inherent and well captured, but the other contextual signal, "where", has been (usually) conspicuously missing. Location, when taken into account, can provide rich signals to help understand social connectivity whilst helping to discover and surface content. Numerous devices and infrastructure services have the ability to expose location, but comprehending how to best make use of these technologies can be complex. Additionally, after the infrastructure is put in place, the next hurdle to overcome is understanding how to create a useable location-based feature that users can comprehend and love while also feeling safe and secure.
This session is targeted to those who want to learn about these technologies, and to those who want to understand how to think about their users' needs, their security, and their privacy. We'll also review web and mobile services that have been designed with location at their core, or location as a feature. And, finally, we'll talk about how Twitter thinks about adding "where" to our "when".

CFD Simulation of By-pass Flow in a HRSG module by R&R Consult.pptxR&R Consult
CFD analysis is incredibly effective at solving mysteries and improving the performance of complex systems!
Here's a great example: At a large natural gas-fired power plant, where they use waste heat to generate steam and energy, they were puzzled that their boiler wasn't producing as much steam as expected.
R&R and Tetra Engineering Group Inc. were asked to solve the issue with reduced steam production.
An inspection had shown that a significant amount of hot flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes, where the heat was supposed to be transferred.
R&R Consult conducted a CFD analysis, which revealed that 6.3% of the flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes without transferring heat. The analysis also showed that the flue gas was instead being directed along the sides of the boiler and between the modules that were supposed to capture the heat. This was the cause of the reduced performance.
Based on our results, Tetra Engineering installed covering plates to reduce the bypass flow. This improved the boiler's performance and increased electricity production.
It is always satisfying when we can help solve complex challenges like this. Do your systems also need a check-up or optimization? Give us a call!
Work done in cooperation with James Malloy and David Moelling from Tetra Engineering.

I. Preface:
The construction sector is a major contributor to the Egyptian economy and one of
its fastest-growing sectors. This growth, estimated at an average of 20 to 22 percent
annually since the 1980s, is fueled by the ever-increasing demand for housing and by
the state's large infrastructure projects. Among these projects are the Greater Cairo
Wastewater Project, considered one of the largest sewerage developments in the
world, and the US$88.5 billion South Valley Development project, which aims to
create an alternative delta along the Nile and relocate urban communities so as to
ease the severe congestion in the major cities.
Most of the material required for the construction sector is produced locally. Local
cement production, amounting to 24 million tons annually and meeting more than
70 percent of domestic demand, is expected to increase over the coming decade due
to heavy government investment in the sector. Private companies have also been
allowed to compete in the production of cement, which continues to be dominated
by state-owned companies. The construction industry is expected to continue its
upward trend in the coming years as a result of continued government and private
business expenditure, anticipated to reach 20 billion Egyptian pounds annually.
II. Introduction:
The construction sector is one of the most dynamic sectors in the Egyptian economy
and has been growing rapidly since the 1980s. In 2000, the Egyptian construction
market ranked 36th in the global construction market, constituting 0.4% of this
market, for a value of $12.711 billion. Despite its fall from its 1998 ranking of 33rd,
the Egyptian construction market actually increased in size by 23%.
The sector has a significant impact on GDP, employment and investment. In
2001/2002 its GDP share reached a value of LE16.56 ($3.84)* billion, representing
4.7% of the total GDP. It also employed 8.3% of the workforce in the same year.
Construction investments reached LE41.2 ($9.5) billion in 2001/2002 which
represents 48.2% of the country’s total investment.
The development and competitiveness of the Egyptian construction sector in the
local and international markets is affected by factors that can be classified under five
main categories: construction companies, government policies and strategies,
available resources, institutional backing and supporting industries. Modifications

and developments within these categories will lead to further growth and greater
competitiveness for the sector.
Official forecasts indicate that the Egyptian construction sector is expected to
experience higher average annual growth rates, at 8.3%, than those of the total GDP
(7.4%) and of the total commodity sector (7.8%) during Egypt’s fifth five-year plan
from 2002/2003 through 2006/2007. The forecasted total investment in
construction for that period is LE257 ($59.24) billion.
III. Market Overview:
A. Spending in the construction sector will increase at a CAGR* of 3.9%, from
US$5 billion to US$7.3 billion during 2005-15. Increasing foreign direct
investment (FDI) coupled with various government-initiated development
programs, such as healthcare development, will boost the economic
development of the country, which will drive the growth in this sector.
B. Spending on residential construction will increase from US$443 million in
2005 to US$606 million in 2015 at a CAGR of 3.2%, owing to such factors as
increased disposable income, the development of new residential regions,
such as villages, and the formulation of government policies to develop the
housing finance system during 2005-15.
C. Spending in the nonresidential construction sector will grow at a CAGR of 4%,
from US$4.6 billion in 2005 to US$6.7 billion in 2015. Government policies to
encourage private investment in business as well as infrastructure
development will encourage expenditure in this sector.
D. Egypt is a high-risk country as its one-year risk score is above the world
average and five-year risk score is comparable with the world average score.
High bureaucracy and corruption levels, low income, rising unemployment,
and continued security threats have increased the country risk.
*CAGR stands for: Compound Annual Growth Rate.

A.Strengths:
1. Workforce: Construction accounts for around 8 per cent of the total
employment in Egypt, with about 100 different industries linked to the
sector. The local construction workforce of around 1.2 million is currently the
largest in the Middle East.
2. Materials: Construction materials are in abundance is Egypt, e.g. large
aggregates (gravel and pink limestone), small aggregates (sand), and cement
constituent materials (limestone, sand, silt, ores). Admixtures are locally
produced under license. Steel constituents are imported, locally
manufactured, used, and sometimes exported.
B.Weaknesses:
1. Quality: although that there’s clear quality standards and Egyptian code for
construction industry there’s no real guarantees that contractors and sub-
contractors will commit and execute it.
2. Strategy: there’s no clear urbanization and new cities construction strategy
due to the current political situation and the past administrative failure.
C.Opportunities:
1. Egypt has an abundant, competitive labor force.
2. Foreign investments.
3. Privatization program, improving the business climate, and introducing
numerous investment incentives targeting upgrading of the business
environment and modernization of the economy and construction sector.
D.Threats:
1. Egypt is a high-risk country as its one-year risk score is above the world
average and five-year risk score is comparable with the world average score.
Shortcomings in the legal and political system, accompanied by terror threats
and scarcity of skilled labor, have amplified the country risk in the past few
years.
2. Poor infrastructure, low productivity, scarcity of skilled labor and other
factors are adversely affecting the construction sector in Egypt.
