Project engineer Alfred Abiero says that the piping network would also be installed for the boreholes that will benefit Kabondo and Nyakach residents. It is expected to be ready within two months. "Since water has been diverted there is decreased flow of water along the river and these boreholes are expected to boost supply" he adds. This is in addition to seven watering points that have been constructed along the river channel complete with pumping equipment. The first project that was constructed between Sondu and Sangoro is to be handed over Friday.

NEWDELHI : Worried by massive 1300 per centjump in tyre imports from China in the last five years Automotive TyreManufacturers Association (ATMA) today asked government to immediately impose ananti-dumping duty on import of radial truck and bus tyres. ?The truck and bus tyreimport in the country has jumped by a massive 1300 per cent during the last fiveyears… ?We will invest Rs 2000 crore in next three yearsincluding Euro 200 million for our upcoming plant in Hungary? ApolloTyres Chief of India Operations Satish Sharma said. He said the company wouldinvest around Rs 1350 crore in setting up the facility in Hungary for which ithad bought about 45 hectares of land earlier this year. The Hungary plant wouldbe the company?s hub to service its passenger car radial tyre buyers inEurope North America as well as other countries. The company also plans toaugment capacity of passenger car tyre production at its Vadodara unit from theexisting 10000 tyres a day to 15000 tyres a day by the mid-2009. Apollo wouldalso increase its truck-bus radial tyres manufacturing capacity at Vadodara nearfour-fold from the present 300 tyres a day to about 1100 tyres a day by themiddle of next year. NEWDELHI : Amid the rising prices of naturalrubber Automotive Tyre Manufacturers Association has requested the governmentto waive or reduce cess on rubber to ease financial burden on domestic tyrecompanies. ?In view ofthe high prices of natural rubber during the last few years charging of cessonly adds to the input costs of the domestic consuming interests especially fortyre sector? the apex body for tyre industry ATMA Chairman RaghupatiSinghania said in a letter to the Commerce Ministry.

The consolidated up-to-date view of the plant’s control infrastructure from instrument to advanced control scheme will give process industry users the ability to: make faster and better-informed decisions based on a single view of the plant infrastructure keep engineering data synchronized with changes to control system configurations navigate multi-system configurations for troubleshooting or optimization of the real-time controls reduce costs by automating creation of consolidated loop sheets and other documentation. In addition engineering procurement and construction (EPC) companies and new customer locations benefit from shortened SmartPlant Instrumentation set-up time with the new ability to "reverse-load" instrumentation data from existing control systems via PAS’ Integrity the precursor to DOC4000. The plant configuration solution of SmartPlant Enterprise an open engineering design and data management software suite helps users better manage and store instrumentation and control data. The PAS DOC4000 product family is a configuration management solution that logs and reports all changes to the real-time infrastructure used to maintain and operate plants for optimal performance and safety of operations. Changes are presented automatically and securely via intuitive Web-based views. DOC4000 provides up-to-date loop diagrams and data flow maps on which operations maintenance and safety personnel can rely. "The integration of SmartPlant Instrumentation and DOC4000 will provide plant owners and EPC customers with a complete picture of plant dynamics to make better operational decisions" said Eddie Habibi PAS founder and chief executive officer.
