In the third of a series of reports, commissioned by HSBC, we look at the challenge of building capital-efficient infrastructure in the age of austerity. Governments and companies have sought to maximise the productivity of assets and minimise the costs associated with building, operating and maintaining infrastructure. However, focusing too intensely on cost cutting has its perils.

IRJET- A Review on “Impact of Large Infrastructure Project on Local Econo...IRJET Journal
This document reviews the impact of large infrastructure projects on local economies. It discusses how infrastructure projects bring development to surrounding areas through job creation, housing, education, healthcare and retail opportunities. People working on infrastructure projects need local facilities to support their families. Existing local facilities may need to be upgraded to accommodate growth from these projects. The document also reviews several other studies and literature that have examined the relationship between infrastructure development and economic growth. In general, the research shows infrastructure is crucial for economic development and acts as a foundation for society, though the exact impacts may vary in different contexts.
This document discusses China's four main protection challenges as the country undergoes rapid urbanization and economic growth:
1. Building safe infrastructure as China builds out massive transportation, housing, and other infrastructure to support its growing cities. Recent infrastructure accidents have highlighted safety issues.
2. Creating safer workplaces as industrial accidents remain a problem, though workplace safety has improved in recent years.
3. Protecting the natural environment as air and water pollution threaten public health in China's cities.
4. Promoting public safety with challenges including emergency response, food safety, and responding to natural disasters as cities grow rapidly in size and density. Advanced technology can help China address these protection challenges.
Construction Industry Through Artificial Intelligence -.docxJIT KUMAR GUPTA
Considering the role, relevance and importance of construction sector in promoting economy, generating employment and creating wealth besides providing infrastructures and amenities, there is need to make the sector more effective, efficient, productive and sustainable. Driven manually, construction sector remains in the slow lane of creating quality built environment which are cost-effective, energy efficient, least consumers of resources and generators of waste. Artificial intelligence can help and empower the construction to make it more valuable, productive and qualitative besides supportive of environment and ecology. However, construction sector must be ready to co-operate and collaborate with IT industry to look for options and opportunities to make construction sector more qualitative and productive. Majority of urban ills and climate related issues can be resolved if Artificial intelligence can be embedded as integral part of the construction industry right prom planning, designing, construction, operation and management of the built environment and infrastructures. Communities and nations will save lot of valuable non-renewable resources if the construction sector is transformed from human led to technology led by the induction of Artificial intelligence. However, Construction industry has to search the areas where Artificial intelligence can be used effectively and intelligently.

DEEP LEARNING FOR SMART GRID INTRUSION DETECTION: A HYBRID CNN-LSTM-BASED MODELgerogepatton
As digital technology becomes more deeply embedded in power systems, protecting the communication
networks of Smart Grids (SG) has emerged as a critical concern. Distributed Network Protocol 3 (DNP3)
represents a multi-tiered application layer protocol extensively utilized in Supervisory Control and Data
Acquisition (SCADA)-based smart grids to facilitate real-time data gathering and control functionalities.
Robust Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) are necessary for early threat detection and mitigation because
of the interconnection of these networks, which makes them vulnerable to a variety of cyberattacks. To
solve this issue, this paper develops a hybrid Deep Learning (DL) model specifically designed for intrusion
detection in smart grids. The proposed approach is a combination of the Convolutional Neural Network
(CNN) and the Long-Short-Term Memory algorithms (LSTM). We employed a recent intrusion detection
dataset (DNP3), which focuses on unauthorized commands and Denial of Service (DoS) cyberattacks, to
train and test our model. The results of our experiments show that our CNN-LSTM method is much better
at finding smart grid intrusions than other deep learning algorithms used for classification. In addition,
our proposed approach improves accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score, achieving a high detection
accuracy rate of 99.50%.
Advanced control scheme of doubly fed induction generator for wind turbine us...IJECEIAES
This paper describes a speed control device for generating electrical energy on an electricity network based on the doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) used for wind power conversion systems. At first, a double-fed induction generator model was constructed. A control law is formulated to govern the flow of energy between the stator of a DFIG and the energy network using three types of controllers: proportional integral (PI), sliding mode controller (SMC) and second order sliding mode controller (SOSMC). Their different results in terms of power reference tracking, reaction to unexpected speed fluctuations, sensitivity to perturbations, and resilience against machine parameter alterations are compared. MATLAB/Simulink was used to conduct the simulations for the preceding study. Multiple simulations have shown very satisfying results, and the investigations demonstrate the efficacy and power-enhancing capabilities of the suggested control system.
Harnessing WebAssembly for Real-time Stateless Streaming PipelinesChristina Lin
Traditionally, dealing with real-time data pipelines has involved significant overhead, even for straightforward tasks like data transformation or masking. However, in this talk, we’ll venture into the dynamic realm of WebAssembly (WASM) and discover how it can revolutionize the creation of stateless streaming pipelines within a Kafka (Redpanda) broker. These pipelines are adept at managing low-latency, high-data-volume scenarios.

Comparative analysis between traditional aquaponics and reconstructed aquapon...bijceesjournal
The aquaponic system of planting is a method that does not require soil usage. It is a method that only needs water, fish, lava rocks (a substitute for soil), and plants. Aquaponic systems are sustainable and environmentally friendly. Its use not only helps to plant in small spaces but also helps reduce artificial chemical use and minimizes excess water use, as aquaponics consumes 90% less water than soil-based gardening. The study applied a descriptive and experimental design to assess and compare conventional and reconstructed aquaponic methods for reproducing tomatoes. The researchers created an observation checklist to determine the significant factors of the study. The study aims to determine the significant difference between traditional aquaponics and reconstructed aquaponics systems propagating tomatoes in terms of height, weight, girth, and number of fruits. The reconstructed aquaponics system’s higher growth yield results in a much more nourished crop than the traditional aquaponics system. It is superior in its number of fruits, height, weight, and girth measurement. Moreover, the reconstructed aquaponics system is proven to eliminate all the hindrances present in the traditional aquaponics system, which are overcrowding of fish, algae growth, pest problems, contaminated water, and dead fish.

2. CONSTRUCTION
Construction, a term that encompasses activities related to the
creation of physical asset and infrastructure.
It has been estimated that output of the sector has a significant
share of 40-60% in gross fixed capital formation. Moreover,
studies have suggested that more than 60 other associated
industries form linkages with the construction and housing
industry which makes the sector pivotal to economic development
as it is crucial for providing shelter, employment and
infrastructure.
The construction industry plays an important role in economic
growth and development of any country.
The construction workforce comprises between 4.5% and 11.0%
of the total workforce for the countries.

15. CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY OF PAKISTAN
It has shown a marvelous growth in recent times in Pakistan. Recent estimates
published in the Economic Survey of Pakistan show that the industry grew
9.1% in FY17 and contributed 2.7% to the country’s gross domestic product
(GDP).
BMI Research has also provided a healthy growth outlook for the sector,
putting it at 11.8% annually from 2016-20 and 9.1% over 2016-25.
The China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) will be the key to giving
boost to not only the construction industry, but also to attract foreign direct
investment (FDI). This can be judged from the latest figures provided by the
State Bank of Pakistan, which show that the construction industry received
a net inflow of $35.7 million in August 2017. can be gauged from the fact
that in the current fiscal year from July-August FY18 the industry has
received $55.7 million relative to $1.6 million in the same period of last year.
Locally, investment has also been boosted by government policies such as
reduction in duties and taxes on building materials like steel, construction
machinery and equipment and computerization of land ownership records.

16. CHARACTERISTICS OF CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY IN
PAKISTAN
Developing countries like Pakistan, have yet to respond to recent technological
improvements. Lack of response to technology, however, has not resulted in fast
track and safer construction sites. In fact, a larger share of construction work
being performed by human resources has led to increased number of site accidents.
In Pakistan, roughly 6-7% labor is directly attached with the construction industry.
Informal assessments have identified a few major reasons for non- performance of
construction projects which include: lack of development of construction sector in
the shape of mechanization and industrialization; lack of professional construction
management practices which has not only led to unsafe project sites but have also
resulted in construction delays, cost overruns, poor productivity and poor product and
process quality; inadequate safety provisions laid by the existing regulatory
environment which has failed to establish safety as a major industry objective;
insufficient and incentive-less
insurance mechanisms which have failed to establish safety as a business
survival issue; and unfavorable business environment which has led to adverse
business relationships among stakeholders resulting in controversies, conflicts,
claims and litigation and hence diverting the focus away from issues
like safety. Compared to the past, the current decade is witnessing massive 16
17. There are numerous infrastructure development projects in progress as well as under
planning. All of these projects have the potential to lead the local Industry to gain
glory, status and international recognition but only when appropriate efforts are
extended to achieve the same. With the stage set for a golden era for development,
the challenges are still higher. One of the important areas that require quick and
drastic improvement is safety. It is highly essential that all occupational injuries and
illnesses should be given due attention. There should be an effort to raise the level of
awareness between both employees and employers of the importance of health and
safety at worksites. Prior research done in construction safety indicates the
significance of conducting formal assessment exercises for safety management
implementation in the construction industry in general. Such assessment exercises
are particularly important in
benchmarking safety performance as well as formulating safety management policie
s and strategies appropriate to the particular work environment under study.
Consequently, this research aims to delve into the safety performance measurement
of local construction firms and hence the overall construction industry of Pakistan
based on an investigative site survey. Traditional measures of safety are after-the-
fact measures; namely, that safety is measured after injuries have already occurred.
These measures are labeled reactive, trailing, downstream, or lagging indicators
because they rely on retrospective data. Focusing on these measures e.g., accident
rates and compensation

20. THE GREAT PYRAMID
During the 3000 B.C., workers on the Great Pyramid the last
stone in place. Although much of the ancient Egyptians ’
technology is still a mystery, the enormity and quality of the
finished product remain a marvel. Despite the lack of sophisticated
machinery, they were able to raise and fit some 2,300,000 stone
blocks, weighing 2 to 70 tons apiece, into a structure the height of
a modern 40-story building. Each facing stone was set against the
next with an accuracy of 0.04 inch, and the base, which covers 13
acres, deviates less than 1 inch from level. Equally as staggering
was the number of workers involved. To quarry the stones and
transport them down the Nile, about 100,000 laborers were levied.
In addition, 40,000 skilled masons and attendants were employed
in preparing and laying the blocks and erecting or dismantling the
ramps.

22. THE GREAT WALL OF CHINA
The Great Wall of China is a series of fortifications made
of stone, brick, tamped earth, wood, and other materials,
generally built along an east-to-west line across the
historical northern borders of China in part to protect the
Chinese Empire. Several walls were being built as early
as the 7th century BC; these, later joined together and
made bigger, stronger, and unified are now collectively
referred to as the Great Wall. Especially famous is the
wall built between 220–206 BC by the first Emperor of
China, Qin Shi Huang.

25. EURO TUNNEL
Over the 100 years, studies were taken, proposals were written and
various holes were drilled. An attempt of tunnel construction was failed
in Harold Wilson's Labor Party government in 1975.
In 1984 the British and French governments reached an agreement to
build the undersea tunnel. The project became effective with the
signing of the Paris Agreement on March 14, 1986. This triggered the
largest binational joint venture ever, as well as unprecedented
cooperation between the two nations.
25
In August 1994, the British Isles and
continental Europe were linked
together. The Channel tunnel is
Europe's biggest infrastructure project
financed wholly by private capital. The
desire to link Britain and France dates
back more than 200 years. The
Eurotunnel is the largest project
financing and provides an effective
case study in how economic viability
was not addressed?.
27. SUEZ CANAL
The Suez Canal is an artificial sea-level waterway in Egypt,
connecting the Mediterranean Sea and the Red Sea. Opened in
November 1869 after 10 years of construction work, it allows
transportation by water between Europe and Asia without
navigation around Africa. The northern terminus is Port Said and
the southern terminus is Port Tawfiq at the city of Suez. Ismailia
lies on its west bank, 3 km (1.9 mi) near the half-way point.
When first built, the canal was 164 km (102 miles) long and 8 m
(26 ft) deep. After multiple enlargements, the canal is 193.30 km
(120.11 miles) long, 24 m (79 ft) deep and 205 meters (673 ft) wide
as of 2010.
The canal is owned and maintained by the Suez Canal Authority
(SCA) of Egypt. Under international treaty, it may be used "in time
of war as in time of peace, by every vessel of commerce or of war,
without distinction of flag.

33. PUBLIC V/S PRIVATE SECTOR PROJECTS
Public projects are those authorized, financed and operated by
federal, provincial, district or local governments. Public projects may
be of any size but frequently they are much larger than private
ventures. A number of important factors exists that are not ordinarily
found in privately financed and operated projects such as purpose,
source and method of financing, multipurpose, nature of benefits,
beneficiaries of the project and measurement of efficiency.
Public sector development projects are initiated with intent of
providing multipurpose services besides providing basic necessities
to general public related to health, education, transportation, water &
sanitation and housing, generate revenue and employment.
E.g. reservoir project for water storage, flood control, electrical power
generation, irrigation, recreation and for research and education
purposes.

34. CONCEPTUALISING DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS
The world “development” is used in numerous contexts. In all these
contexts, it denotes some kind of change. Therefore, most briefly
stated, development is viewed as a process of “societal change”. It
may also express a state that has been attained through some
noticeable change, for instance, reduction in poverty, improvement
in literacy rate & health of general public, improvement in socio-
economic conditions of the public, improvement in transportation
system, improvement in IT skills of targeted beneficiaries.
This change occurs due to certain “intervention” called
development project.

37. TARBELA DAM
Lifespan
The useful life of the dam and reservoir was estimated to be
somewhere around fifty years, since the dam's completion in
1976, meaning that the reservoir would have been full of
sediment by 2030.
However, sedimentation has been much lower than predicted,
and it is now estimated that the useful lifespan of the dam will be
85 years, to about 2060.
Project Benefits
In addition to fulfilling primary purpose of the Dam i.e. supplying
water for Irrigation, Tarbela Power Station has generated
341.139 Billion KWh of cheap hydro-electric energy since
commissioning. A record annual generation of 16.463 Billion
KWh was recorded during 1998-99. It has been a tool for Flood
Control measures.
38. PROJECT MANAGEMENT
A dynamic process that utilizes the appropriate resources
of the organization in a controlled and structured manner,
to achieve some clearly defined objectives identified
within a defined set of constraints
The art or science of planning, organizing,
coordinating and controlling 4Ms (manpower,
machinery, material and monetary resources)
throughout the project lifecycle by using rational
approaches and techniques to achieve predetermined
objectives of scope, cost, time, quality.
38
39. WHAT IS PROJECT MANAGEMENT ?
39
Project management is the application of knowledge,
skills, tools and techniques to project activities to meet
project requirements. Project management is
accomplished through the application and
integration of the project management processes of
initiating, planning, executing, monitoring,
controlling, and closing. The project manager is the
person responsible for accomplishing the project
objectives.
41. YOUR TURN: WHAT IS CONSTRUCTION
MANAGEMENT?
Define Construction Management.
Your definition should evolve and
continuously improve with your knowledge
and experience collaborating on projects.
How Project Management differs from
Construction Management?
43. PROJECT MANAGER V/S CONSTRUCTION MANAGER
The project manager has more authority and
responsibility than a construction
manager typically does because he leads and
motivates a team of managers or workers.
The project manager oversees a project from
inception to completion, while the construction
manager is involved with just
the construction phase.
43
44. CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT (CM)
Construction Management (CM) is a
professional service that uses specialized,
project management techniques to oversee
the planning, design, tendering, contracting,
construction / execution, handover / testing
and commissioning of a project, i.e.
managing construction project from its
beginning to its end. The purpose of CM is to
control a project's time, cost and quality
along with checking litigations and other
contractual matters.
44
45. DEFINING PROJECT SUCCESS?
“Completion of a project within constrains of time, cost
and performance .”
Today project success definition has been modified and
includes project completion;
Within time allocated time period
Within budgeted cost
At the proper performance or specification level
Within client’s expectation and satisfaction

PRELIMINARY COST ESTIMATES
The initial stage of any development is to calculate if the project is financially
viable. Cost Managers, commercial surveyors or cost engineers work out an
approximate budget which id evaluated by the client’s appraisal team. In the
costing, price of land, any special engineering considerations, make
assumptions about the construction method and the revenue the project may
generate are considered. They may approach specialists for advice in areas
where the costs may radically alter the budget e.g. provision of water, gas and
electric to a site.

WEIGHTED SCORING MODEL
A weighted scoring model is a tool that provides a
systematic process for selecting projects based on
many criteria.
Steps in identifying a weighted scoring model:
1. Identify criteria important to the project selection
process.
2. Assign weights (percentages) to each criterion so
they add up to 100 percent.
3. Assign scores to each criterion for each project.
4. Multiply the scores by the weights to get the total
weighted scores.
The higher the weighted score, the better.
55. Once approval to build
has been gained the
project is designed in
more detail by the
Client’s designers.
The design is usually
developed with
sufficient detail for
appropriate estimates /
prices, which are used
in tendering.
The contractors price
the tender documents
so a contract can be
entered into for the
construction of the
project.
• The designers will be from the same disciplines who
prepared the planning reports but the main designers
are:
– Architect
– Structural Engineer
– Mechanical & Electrical Engineer
• Those who issue the contract documents for pricing in
the tender are:
– Principal Quantity Surveyor, (PQS)
• Coordination of the design is often managed by a:
– Project Manager
