Engineering utsourcing the next growth frontier
Buzzle – Aug 27, 2007
Today more industries are where IT was in the 1990’s – knowledge based. Knowledge Process utsourcing (KP) will soon be the biggest revenue generator as Business Process utsourcing companies move up the value chain in their service offerings. India with its advantages of highly qualified professionals can provide high-quality engineering services in the fields of Structural Mechanical & Electronic Engineering – analysis and design embedded software Plant Design Process Engineering Plant Automation Services and Enterprise Asset Management and EM solutions. Engineering outsourcing is gaining momentum as it involves labor-intensive engineering processes (structural drafting and detailing conversion services cost estimations and a lot more) that can be outsourced. It ensures quick turnaround time competitive pricing capabilities to develop customized software to the engineering project management needs and provides certified engineers proficient in state-of-the-art engineering tools and technologies for enhanced productivity at low cost. The future of outsourcing in general and engineering in particular is promising as more and more countries are finding it attractive creating a multi-polar world. ne of the latest reports from GlobalSourcingNow says the Global Knowledge Process utsourcing industry (KP) is expected to reach USD 17 billion by 2010 of which USD 12 billion would be outsourced to India.
Putting C2 to Good Use
BusinessWeek – Aug 27, 2007
"With the demand for energy rising along with public pressure for clean energy sources coal producers that get involved with these projects are entering at the early stages of what may be a long-term effort. "The projects are based on coal gasification or coal-to-liquids plants because they give off a stream of highly concentrated carbon dioxide that can be gathered and transported by pipeline relatively easily. Taking the C2 from the flue gas of a coal-fired power plant poses an additional technical challenge. It’s one that the French engineering company Alstom hopes to solve by developing a process that uses chilled ammonia to absorb the carbon dioxide found together with air or other gases.

The unending power crisis
Pakistan Dawn – Aug 27, 2007
This possible deficit demonstrates the unrealistic targets of the overall energy plan approved in February 2005. The government has taken short-sighted measures disfiguring the policies in vogue. Wapda was not allowed to establish any new thermal power plant as soon as the Energy Policy 1994 was in place obviously with the objective of attracting private sector in particular foreign investment. During the last decade or so not a single IPPs project was however implemented. The country is currently witnessing a power crisis similar to the one in 1994. In response to the Power Policy 2002 a large number of national and international investors have however obtained approval for setting up thermal power plants based on various technologiesThe country has to rely on thermal power generation which has short gestation period compared to hydroelectric power plants to reduce the gap between demand and supply on an emergent basis. As many as 16 power projects of cumulative capacity of 3700 MW were approved as early as in 2003-2004… 213 million per MW and Uch Power project of 586 MW capacity has been established in district Nasirabad at a cost of $1. 075 million per megawatt. Contracts for Engineering Procurement and Construction (EPC) for both the IPPs projects were signed in 1995. In comparison Wapda’s Kot Addu power station units 13 to 15 of cumulative capacity of 397 MW for which contract was signed in May 1992 the cost per megawatt is $0. 760 million for the same technology as that of the IPPs. During the three-year gap prices of machinery remained stable in dollars in international market. Likewise Wapda’s Muzaffargarh thermal power station unit 4 of 320 MW capacity has a project cost of $ 0.

Engineering procurement construction and management for the campus will be handled by. based in San Francisco. Bechtel signed a project labor agreement with the Southwestern Illinois Building and Construction Trades Council for plant construction and initial hiring began this summer. At peak construction 2000 workers are expected to be needed… With final permitting by the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency and approval from the boards of directors of the two companies construction could begin in early 2008. It’s estimated that 1500 construction workers per month will be needed. In addition Pittsburgh-based U. Steel wants to build a coke plant at its Granite City facility. The addition would include a co-generation electric plant that would use steam generated in the production process to power electricity-generating equipment for the plant. The $340 million project would require an estimated 1100 workers to build the facility but no construction timeline has been set.
