REDUCING ENERGY USE IN INDUSTRIAL PROCESSES CAN HAVE A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT
ON THE BOTTOM LINE. DUTCH ENERGY COMPANY DELTA PROVIDES TANGIBLE VALUE TO
ITS CLIENTS WITH THE HELP OF TEBODIN.
The principles of lean manufacturing
have been widely adopted over the
past decades, but the efforts were
mostly aimed at waste reduction and
output growth. DELTA wants to be
more than an energy provider to its
industrial clients. As part of a
framework agreement, Tebodin
identifies the best efficiency
opportunities.
Based in the Southwest of the
Netherlands, DELTA is an independent
multi-utility company specializing in
energy, grids and networks, and waste
management. In addition to electricity
generation and energy trading, it
supplies gas and electricity to private
and corporate clients. The company’s
network division is the regional grid
operator, responsible for management,
construction and maintenance. Other
areas of expertise include high-voltage
applications and metering technology.

Energy Quick Scan
‘The tracking and mapping of the
energy used in every process is the
starting point for any company serious
about saving energy’, says Energy
Consultant Mr. Sander Tensen. ‘DELTA
wants to support its industrial clients
in developing a sustainable value
proposition, and it believes in the
tailor-made approach. Industrial
companies often find it difficult to
identify the real bottlenecks, says
Mr. Maarten Seghers, the marketing
manager for the B2B energy market at
DELTA. ‘Tebodin is for us the right
partner to accomplish this’.
The process starts with an Energy
Quick Scan to determine the
possibilities. ‘We also carry out
comprehensive energy audits and
feasibility studies with regard to
investments. In my experience, direct
‘Joint Venture of the year’ award for STS-Tebodin
DURING THE FOURTH EDITION OF THE OIL AND GAS YEAR (TOGY) IN OMAN AN AWARDS
CEREMONY TOOK PLACE. ONE OF THE PRESENTED AWARDS WAS THE ‘JOINT VENTURE OF THE
YEAR’ AWARD THAT WAS PRESENTED TO JOINT VENTURE SPECIAL TECHNICAL SERVICES AND
TEBODIN & PARTNER (STS-TEBODIN).
STS-Tebodin is the largest private
sector oilfield employer of Omanis in
2013. The joint-venture is specially set
up for the Engineering and
Maintenance Contract (EMC) for
Petroleum Development Oman (PDO).
This 7 year framework contract, with a
possible extension of another 3 years,
was awarded by PDO in February 2011.
The contract includes all on-plot
engineering, procurement services,
construction and commissioning of all
green and brown field projects and
subsequent maintenance and
management services for PDO’s Oil
and Gas surface facilities throughout
the company’s northern concession
area in Oman.
The number of Omanis working for
STS-Tebodin is around 2,500 at
different work categories.

savings of around ten percent are
almost always possible without major
investments or process changes. For
larger savings, the cost recovery and
return of investment are usually a
matter of just a few years’, says
Mr. Tensen.
Sustainable production
Recent quick scans took place at two
metal processing companies. Tebodin
also developed a sustainability
proposition for a salt mining company,
in which the identification of energy
savings was combined with a broader
exploration of sustainable production
methods. ‘We use a heat camera to gain
further insight in energy losses and find
additional saving opportunities.’
Savings are not only to be found in the
latest technology or smarter processes.

Coal Power Plant EPZ in Borssele
An often-overlooked opportunity is the
active involvement of employees in
energy saving initiatives.
Mr. Tensen: ‘We arrange workshops to
create and deepen staff commitment to
sustainability and efficiency. These are
done on-site with everyone relevant
present, from management to the
technical department. DELTA also
participated.’

Nuon s power plants
TEBODIN ASSESSED THE DEMOLITION COSTS OF ALL POWER PLANTS OWNED
BY NUON AND ADVISED THE DUTCH ENERGY COMPANY WITH REGARD TO THE
DEMOLITION OF TWO PLANTS, IN AMSTERDAM AND PURMEREND.
Several major upgrades of power facilities for chemical clients for/with Ritter
Starkstromtechnik in the Netherlands
Scope: Detailed engineering and consultancy services
The Nuon power plant Hemweg 7 was
decommissioned in January 2013. By
then it had been replaced by a more
efficient Combined Heat & Power (CHP)
plant called Hemweg 9, located on the
same site in Amsterdam. Hemweg 7 had
been in service for 34 years and will
now be partially demolished in order to
use the gas turbine for peak moments in
electricity demand.
Purmerend, just north of Amsterdam,
is the most prominent district heating
city in the Netherlands, with over
24,000 households and 1,000
companies connected. The Nuon
CHP plant that provided 64 Mw of
heat for many years is going to be
replaced by a biomass power plant,
rendering the current installations
obsolete.
Stack of Nuon's Combined
Cycle Gas Turbine (CCGT) in
Purmerend, the Netherlands
Mass balance
Nuon wanted a thorough assessment
of the demolition costs. Tebodin found
that these costs are largely
determined by the amounts of steel
and concrete in the buildings. After
visiting the sites and collecting data
on the materials, construction and
local circumstances, they produced a
first draft of the ‘mass balance’.
Gaps identified
In consultation with Nuon, data gaps
were identified and the initial mass
balance was enriched with the
missing information on the equipment
and buildings, either through
documented data or based on
assumptions and measurements. The
final result is an elaborated steel and
concrete mass balance, which
provides Nuon with a detailed insight
into the quantities and characteristics
of the materials, and which will serve
as the basis for negotiations and
agreements with the demolition
company.

A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE, AND THE MAIN REASON FOR THAT ARE THE
PEOPLE,’ SAYS MR. GANGADHARAN KUNIYIL, PUBLIC RELATIONSHIP
OFFICER IN DUBAI. TEBODIN OPENED ITS DUBAI BRANCH IN 1981 AND,
OVER THE YEARS, MR. KUNIYIL HAS SEEN THE OFFICE GROW FROM FOUR
PEOPLE AT THE START TO 73 TODAY. THREE DECADES OF CAREFUL WORK

The Sheikh Zayed Road was one of
office Dubai’s earliest projects, and it
was quite spectacular. It was the first
cooling plant project in Dubai, ever,
serving all buildings along a three
kilometer road in the city center. It
was awarded to Tebodin by Tabreed,
an important provider of cooling
infrastructure for the nation. One of
the most important aspects of the
project was its contribution to reduce
energy consumption and the protection
of the environment by cutting carbon
dioxide emissions.
Located close to the Crowne Plaza
Hotel on Sheikh Zayed Road, the plant
serves many luxury hotels, residential
apartments and office towers. It is
perhaps Tebodin’s best known project in
Dubai, and it was done with only a
handful of people.’

Partnering on plant extension
Moving towards
projects improvement
IN RESPONSE TO THE MARKET DEMAND FOR ITS PRODUCTS, STEPAN COMPANY DECIDED
TO DOUBLE THE PRODUCTION CAPACITY OF ITS PLANT IN BRZEG-DOLNY, SOUTH-WESTERN
POLAND, BY INSERTING OF A SECOND REACTOR AND ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT INTO THE
PRODUCTION LINE.
AS PER JULY, MR. JAN KLEIN WOLTERINK
STARTED IN THE NEW POSITION OF DIRECTOR
PROJECT IMPROVEMENT AT TEBODIN.
‘CREATING THIS POSITION AT CORPORATE LEVEL
ALREADY SHOWS THAT APPARENTLY THERE IS
A NEED. WE ONLY HAVE TO LOOK AROUND US
TO SEE WHY,’ MR. KLEIN WOLTERINK SAYS.
The company’s Project Manager, Mr.
Cameron Hammond put a tender out
for the preparation of FEL-2 (‘Front-End
Loading’ phase 2) multidiscipline
documentation for the extension of the
plant. In June, Tebodin’s office in
Warsaw, Poland was awarded the
engineering services contract.
Stepan, founded in 1932 in Northfield,
Illinois, USA, is a major global
manufacturer of specialty chemicals
used in a broad range of industries.
Stepan Poland manufactures basic and
intermediate chemicals, including

mechanical, electrical, construction
and architectural engineers. One of
the most challenging parts of the
project is the design of the new
reactor. In order to assure troublefree operation of the vessel in
temperatures between 50 and 300 °C,
the vessel will be subjected to stress
analysis according to EN-13445-3. The
analysis, based on pressuretemperature profiles, will include 3D

Completion of this phase of the
project is scheduled to be completed
by the end of September. But there is
more in store, Mr. Iwanowski says.
‘We expect to participate in the next
stages of the project, including
permitting, detailed engineering and
construction management.
Meanwhile, the documentation we
have created will be used for the
expansion of a similar plant in the
United States. As Stepan has more
plants in Europe, we are looking
forward to continuing our cooperation
in future projects.’

Many clients increasingly rely on us,
because they have trimmed down their
own organization and capacity to
prepare, execute and manage projects.
Markets have changed considerably
compared to ten years ago. The
competition has not been sitting idle.
Also, now we have more international
operating clients compared to our client
base a decade ago. Those clients expect
from Tebodin a similar service level and
uniform way of working wherever they
seek our services.
Working smarter
‘The changing world around us forces us
to get better at what we do. That alone is
already a challenge. What adds to the
complexity is that we have mature offices
and offices that recently started, big
projects and small projects, multi-year
framework contracts and one-off
projects. Executing projects is hard
work,’ Mr. Klein Wolterink remarks.
Improving project execution is even more
difficult, but it is not about just working
harder. It is about working smarter.
Achieve improvement
Getting projects done successfully
requires first and foremost the right skills
always close
OCTOBER 2014 / PAGE 3
and competence of our people. But
equally important are tools and systems
that we use as well as work processes
and procedures we apply. It is definitely
possible to achieve improvement in all
three areas and everyone I have spoken
with over the last few weeks recognizes
that. It is a challenge, but a very
interesting one. Not only because
Project Improvement obviously is
directly related to the daily buzz in
projects in all countries and offices
where we operate, but also because it
has links with IT, Finance, Quality and
Human Resources.
What are the expected overall results?
‘Well, that at least is an easy one,’ Mr.
Klein Wolterink smiles. ‘Being more in
control of what we do will lead to better
project delivery, which no doubt will
improve our reputation with our clients.
But it will also lead to better and more
predictable project results for Tebodin.
Actually, it looks like a win-win to me.
So, here we go.’

Office Ahmedabad:
Booming with quality
Supporting methanol
‘TWO PEOPLE STARTED THE OFFICE A YEAR AGO WITHOUT A PARTICULAR JOB IN HAND. NOW
OUR TEAM OF THIRTY HANDLES OVER TEN PROJECTS,’ SAYS MR. ONDREJ STERBAK, OFFICE
DIRECTOR OF TEBODIN IN AHMEDABAD, INDIA. AND THE BOOM CONTINUES: ‘SATISFACTION OF
EXISTING CLIENTS HAS STARTED REPETITIVE PROJECT AWARDS, CREATING A SHARP RISE IN
OUR NEW BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT.’
TEBODIN & PARTNER IN OMAN HAS BEEN AWARDED A TWO-YEAR
CONTRACT TO PROVIDE A RANGE OF ENGINEERING SERVICES AT THE
METHANOL PRODUCTION FACILITY OF SALALAH METHANOL COMPANY
LLC (SMC).
The production facility is located in
the Salalah Free Zone in Oman, near
the Port of Salalah. Founded in 2006,
the plant is wholly owned by Oman
Oil Company and produces methanol
out of sweet natural gas.
Engineering services will be
provided for all parts of SMC’s
methanol facility: the methanol plant
itself and all off-site and utility
structures.
Important footprints
The focus of Tebodin in Ahmedabad is
on the chemical, food and industrial
sectors. Mr. Sterbak: ‘We have already
made important footprints in
companies such as Huntsman,
Arkema, Mapei, Chipita, and Omya.
Huntsman was especially satisfied
with our work, and we have done a
series of projects with them, including
support in different countries.’
‘For a client in the chemical sector,
for example, we are designing multiple
buildings in an 100.000 m² area, and
developing over 60 piping and
instrumentation diagrams.
We also started to work for our sister
company Bilfinger Water Technology
preparing the concept, master
planning and preliminary budget
estimation for their new factory.
Intense start-up
With such projects, the first year was
intense, tells Mr. Sterbak: ‘It was
absolute challenge, but we went with
it all together. The amount of sacrifice
from each staff-member was huge. We
spent countless nights and weekends
at work. I am still amazed by the moral
of our entire team: what needed to be
done was done, on time and quality,
no matter what. I have great gratitude
towards my dear colleagues.’
The office is also supported by the
international Tebodin network.
Mr. Sterbak: ‘Whenever we need
any advice or guidelines, we get it
immediately. For example, when we
needed a design review, our team in
Thailand was able to execute it within
hours.’
Expanding expertise
The accelerated pace continues: ‘We
know that we will need to have at least
50 employees in the next six months
to cover our contracted work. But
we want to add more as the
opportunities in India are huge.
However, we can only grow as fast
as we can ensure our quality
standards.’
‘We are trying to build a multi­
disciplinary office, where every
single department focuses on
excellency. However, if I would have
to pick an area of expertise, I would
say that is our process,
Global chemical commodity
Methanol is a globally traded
commodity and is used as intermediary

Global framework contract with Syngenta
TEBODIN RECENTLY SIGNED A GLOBAL FRAMEWORK AGREEMENT FOR EPCM (ENGINEERING,
PROCUREMENT AND CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT) AND CONSULTANCY SERVICES WITH
SYNGENTA CROP PROTECTION AG IN BASEL, SWITZERLAND. THE FRAMEWORK, EFFECTIVE FROM
AUGUST 1, 2014, IS VALID FOR THREE YEARS AND COVERS TEBODIN’S WHOLE NETWORK, IN THE
BUSINESS AREA OF SYNGENTA’S SEED PROCESSING AND CROP PROTECTION CHEMICALS.
Syngenta is one of the world’s
leading companies in plant breeding,
crop protection and seed care to
develop a fully integrated offer on a
global crop basis, combining
innovation in genetic and chemical
solutions. Syngenta, with a sales of
14.7 billion dollars a year, has more
than 28,000 employees and is active
in 90 countries worldwide.
Demand for increased quantity
and quality
Global population is expected to rise
from around seven billion today to
more than nine billion by 2050. In
parallel, a greater number of people
will experience increased wealth
and higher purchasing power, and as
a result will increase consumption of
processed food, meat, dairy and fish.
As demand for increased quantity
and quality of crops grows,
agriculture must evolve in order to
meet these demands in a sustainable
way. Changes in climate will further
stress the availability of water, land and
biodiversity necessary for productive
agriculture.
Until now demand has been met
primarily through yield improvement.
However, the improvement rate of
yields in the major grains has been
slowing down and will not be sufficient
to fulfil increasing demand.
Innovation required
Syngenta’s response to the evolving
needs of farmers across the globe is an
integrated strategy with those needs at
its very heart. The strategy recognizes
that solutions to complex farmer
challenges are no longer met by single
products, but instead require innovation
to weave together both existing and
new technologies in order to bring plant
potential to life.
Tebodin’s involvement
The last two years we have been
working for Syngenta in Russia,
Ukraine, Hungary, Vietnam and the
Netherlands in the area of site selection
services, master planning, plant
re-development, project management,
tender support and technical
supervision. We trust this framework
agreement forms the basis to a
further cooperation with Syngenta,
and that we can keep assisting them
with our process knowledge in their
future investments projects over the
world.

Long partnership
Tebodin has a long partnership with the
Oss production site. It has successfully
carried out over 60 projects under the
master agreement in the last years. In
2013, the Pharmaceutical Ingredients
(API) business of the Oss site was
acquired by Aspen Group. South
African-based Aspen is a supplier of
branded and generic pharmaceuticals in
over 150 countries, and of consumer and
nutritional products in selected
territories. Aspen products are renowned
for their quality, efficacy and affordability.
‘Hot’ plant reconstruction
MUNICIPAL ENERGY COMPANY TEPTO BRUNTAL’S COAL-FIRED HEATING PLANT IN THE CITY OF
BRUNTAL IS UNDERGOING MAJOR RECONSTRUCTION – WHILE REMAINING IN OPERATION. TEBODIN
IS SITE SUPERVISOR, BUT ITS INVOLVEMENT IN THE PROJECT STARTED FAR EARLIER.
The reconstruction project comprises
replacing the three existing boilers (K2,
K3 and K4) by new ones. Boiler K1 will
remain unchanged as a cold backup.
The new K2 and K3 will have about the
same power as the originals, while
boiler K4 will be replaced by one with
half the original power. This will allow a
more flexible response in supplying
heat during the summer months.
Transportation of boiler
pressure unit K4.1 to the
boiler room
Documentation
In 2011 Tebodin’s office in Ostrava
prepared the planning permit
documentation for this project. This
phase was followed by preparation of
the planning permit documentation for a
new silo for acidic sodium carbonate,
which is used as an additive. Earlier this
year, after tendering the contractor,
Uchytil, Tebodin prepared the next
stage of documentation, which was
building permit documentation,
including the obtaining of the building
permit.
Completion of the project is expected
in September 2015.

Tebodin and the contractors’
management held 64 official safety
inspection rounds. In the end, a total of
70,000 construction hours resulted in
zero harm. Contractors were also
coached to improve safety behavior,
says Tebodin Project Manager Mr. Mark
Courage: ‘We are all skilled and
educated employees, extensively
trained when it comes to safety. Our
interventions make the difference and
save lives’.
55 outsiders on site
High level of cooperation
The new API purification suite in Oss
called for adaptation of the existing
building, including demolition of existing
structures and creation of new process
floors. Also a clean room for final
purification, with all new process
equipment and associated utilities and
systems. At its peak, 55 contractors were
working in the small area, only 15 by 5
meters per floor, next to the plant in full
operation. For an efficient construction
workflow within the restricted area,
Tebodin applied craftsman resource
schedules per floor, shifted construction
hours, micro schedules and a phased
move-in of construction material in line
with the lean principle. All to ensure the
ambitious schedule could be met.
Combined safety success
Currently, a Tebodin team headed by
Mr. Martin Papez is performing site
supervision for Teplo Bruntál. This year,
the first phase of construction is taking
place, which involves the replacement
of boiler K4. In the second phase,
boilers K2 and K3 will be replaced.

‘Teaming in dynamic pharmaceutical market
‘TEBODIN’S RESPONSE TO A DYNAMIC PHARMACEUTICAL MARKET IS TO MOBILIZE KNOWLEDGE
AND KNOW-HOW IN A GLOBAL ORGANIZATION,’ SAYS MR. NIEK DE KONING, DIRECTOR GLOBAL
PHARMACEUTICAL PROJECTS. HE HAS BEEN IN THIS POSITION FOR 18 MONTHS, FOLLOWING HIS FIVE-YEAR
POSITION AS DIRECTOR IN OFFICE MAASTRICHT, IN THE NETHERLANDS. THE CITY REMAINS HIS STARTING
POINT FOR TRIPS AROUND THE WORLD, TO IMPLEMENT A NEW WAY OF WORKING.
A wave of medicine
The pharmaceutical market is
experiencing accumulated growth
around the globe, says Mr. de Koning:
‘In Europe, pharmaceutical companies
are investing in innovation and
improving their production facilities.
Furthermore, as patents expire,
grassroots facilities sprout up in Asia.
The population is becoming wealthier
and older, and get for example more
diabetes, so a wave of medicines are
needed. In China, technology is
fast-growing and the knowledge level is
impressively increasing, so
professionals are available. India is the
world’s third biggest producer of
medicines. In Indonesia, the annual
growth of the pharmaceutical industry is
13 percent, twice their economic
growth. Many international companies
producing for Asia Pacific settle in
Singapore and also Vietnam.’
‘At Tebodin, we are providing
professional services in all four market
segments: pharmaceuticals with active
ingredients (API), bio-pharmaceuticals,
finished products and medical devices.
We have a wealth of professional staff.
In China, for example, we have about
60-70 employees working on
pharmaceutical projects.’
A new way of working
Mr. de Koning is travelling all over to
implement Tebodin’s market approach
with the Global Pharmaceutical
Program. It is an intensive program in
several stages over many months, to
create business, while also designed to
introduce key specialists from all
cultures to a new way of working, with
teaming.
Teaming is using fluid groups of experts,

and peace of mind
CONSUMER CONFIDENCE IN THE FOOD INDUSTRY IS OF GREAT VALUE. INVESTING IN
HYGIENE CAN PREVENT MANY PROBLEMS AND SAVE THE COSTS OF PRODUCTION
LOSSES AND REPUTATIONAL DAMAGE. TEBODIN HELPS TO UNCOVER WEAK SPOTS
WITH THE HYGIENIC DESIGN SCAN.
The food sector increasingly finds itself
under a magnifying glass. Growing
regulatory pressure and waning
consumer confidence call for decisive
action, but many plant operators have a
hard time getting started. After all, if
you want to improve hygiene, you have
to know where to direct your efforts to
make a real difference.
Regaining confidence
‘The Hygienic Design Scan goes a long
way in regaining confidence’, says
Tebodin process engineer Mrs.
Margriet Bosma. ‘We scan the entire
process to establish whether it meets
all basic hygiene requirements in terms
of design and cleaning methods. When
all systems and processes are in proper
working order, many potential hygiene
risks can be avoided, and the chances
of batch rejections or recalls become
much smaller.’
Getting a grip on hygiene requires a
methodical approach. The
manufacturer first decides which parts
of the plant have to be scanned. The
scan covers numerous points, including
installations, valves, instrumentation,
piping, process and cleaning
procedures, as well as cabling and
automation. ‘If allowed, we prefer to
open up everything to have a good
look’, says Margriet Bosma with a
smile. ‘And we include architectural
elements, such as door and window
frames, walls and drains. Horizontal

mostly draw their own conclusions
without us making specific
recommendations.’
Plant and process adaptations,
outdated installations, new guidelines
and legislation are all risk factors. The
scan generates a practical report of
strong and weak points, with the risks
highlighted in pictures. ‘These are often

to deal with new issues and

Health campaign
Mr. Hasan: ‘Over the past few years,
we have put a lot of emphasis on
QOHSE issues at different levels. The
results of these efforts for our
organization were impressive.
However, part of QOHSE is Health.
Many people take their own health for
granted. We decided to do something
about this with the ‘Commit To Be Fit’
health campaign.’
Commit to be fit
‘We thought to encourage our people
to make a New Year’s resolution for
2014, and commit to be fit in this year
and beyond. The 13-week program
provided employees with a health
checkup with the professional
assistance of a local health service
provider. For all staff, ten health
ambassadors went around the office with
morning exercises, informational flyers
and quizzes, healthy recipes and fruit
snacks.’
Seriously healthy
People enjoyed the program, but the
campaign also serves a sobering cause.
Mr. Hasan: ‘A few of our colleagues have
experienced health issues. We hope to
help avoid some of such cases, with a
healthier lifestyle.’

Value engineering gets APAG’s
high-tech plant on budget
AN INITIAL DESIGN FOR APAG ELEKTRONIK’S GREENFIELD PLANT IN THE CZECH REPUBLIC WENT SERIOUSLY
OVER BUDGET. VALUE ENGINEERING AND CLEVER PROCUREMENT REDUCED INVESTMENT COSTS BY 15%.
Quality demands are high for APAG’s
new facility in Pardubice, Czech
Republic. As a producer of electronic
parts for the automotive branch and
other sectors, they require a high level
of control over its work areas. Its main
products include various types of
electronic control units and printed

circuit boards, many with LED
components. The manufacture of these
has to take place in a non-static, clean
area that is permanently kept at the
right temperature and humidity levels.
Commitment to client’s interests
‘The initial design for our new facility
met those requirements,’ says
Mrs. Stanislava Cížková, project
manager on behalf of APAG, ‘but the
NAM, Sappermeer to Norg, the Netherlands

associated costs were much higher
than we found acceptable. At the
recommendation of a business partner
we contacted Tebodin. Their insights
during the re-design and also at the
procurement stage resulted in a design
that met the same quality demands but
at a much better overall price.’
Tebodin’s tasks on the project include
tender documentation, detail design,
procurement, construction
management and commissioning. ‘But
most importantly for our client,’ says Mr.
Vlastimil Hrouda, project manager at
Tebodin’s Pardubice office, ‘is the value
engineering and our commitment to
serving their interests.’
Perfect production environment
‘The existing rented facilities are no
longer up to APAG’s requirements’, says
Mr. Hrouda. ‘We are making sure that
by the end of the year they will have
their own facilities. Measuring 3,500 m²,
the place will be fitted with airlocks,
extensive climate control, and floors
that can neutralize electrostatic
discharges. The perfect environment for
their high-tech products.’

Many pipelines for oil, gas, chemicals, and water distribution have been realized
through the integral and innovative approach of Tebodin. Both during the design
and construction of underground pipelines, important aspects such as
engineering, integration with urban planning, the permitting process and various
geotechnical issues are considered to ensure and safeguard the integrity of
pipelines.
In order to prepare a sound design, strength calculations are conducted to
correctly represent the interaction between soil and pipeline. Best
implementation methods have to be considered at crossings with other
infrastructure such as roads, railways, waterways, dikes and pipeline alleys,
especially in built- up areas and cities. Innovations such as 3D modelling,
environmental management in pipeline construction, focus on integrity and
corrosion engineering are some of the solutions that Tebodin offers in the
realization of underground pipelines.
Our clients benefit from the synergy between all disciplines that play a role in
pipeline projects. Our engineers make sure that the designs are reliable and in
line with the relevant safety standards.
The range of our pipeline expertise entails:
• 3 D modelling
• Hydraulic and hear loss calculations
• Feasibility studies
• Water hammer analysis
• Integrity research
• Pipelines integrity management
• Strength and permit calculations • Crossings

A smooth stress analysis for
Borouge in Ruwais
TEBODIN PROVIDED DETAIL DESIGN FOR A POLYETHYLENE PLANT OF ABU DHABI POLYMERS
COMPANY LTD IN RUWAIS, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES. TWO NEW ON-OFF VALVES WERE ADDED
TO EXISTING GAS FLUSHING LINES. THOUGH THE SYSTEMS AT THE FACILITY ARE COMPLEX, THE
STRESS ANALYSIS, TO ENSURE MECHANICAL INTEGRITY, WAS A FAIRLY STANDARD PROJECT.
Abu Dhabi Polymers Company Ltd is
the production entity of Borouge in
the Emirates. Borouge is a joint
venture between Abu Dhabi National
Oil Company (ADNOC) and Austria
based chemicals company Borealis.
The petrochemical production plant in
Ruwais, about 250 km west of Abu
Dhabi, is central to the company’s
operations.
and three production units provided
data on six different operational
cases - considering pressure,
temperature and wind conditions
- seeing that the stresses within the
system did not exceed set limits.
Borouge’s Project Manager Mr. Ali
Al-Shehhi was most helpful, ensuring
smooth progress of the project.
Commercially attractive
Operational flexibility
In the polyethylene facility, the new
valves were added to the gas flushing
lines connecting the outlet line of the
gas phase reactor to the batch outlet
vessel, to improve operational
flexibility. The challenge for Project
Manager Mr. Padmakumar Nair was
to find an accessible location for the
valves with minimum modifications to
the existing situation. Fortunately,
Tebodin has been involved in many
projects with Borouge in the past and
is well known with the plant and the
company’s requirements.
Mr. Nair: ‘We understand the client’s
requirement by frequently conducting
site visits and engaging in meetings on a
regular basis. Tebodin has performed a
number of complex stress analysis jobs
and is one of the leading consultants in
this area. Our proposal covered all
engineering aspects
clearly.

THE CAR INDUSTRY HAS GONE TRULY GLOBAL. IN THE FAR EAST OF KAZAKHSTAN,
A NEW PRODUCTION PLANT IS BEING BUILT. FOR THE SEASONED DESIGN EXPERTS
AT TEBODIN IN CZECH REPUBLIC, THE VAST DISTANCE POSED NO PROBLEM AT ALL.
Made in Kazakhstan
Azia Avto started as an assembly plant
and quickly gained a reputation for
delivering quality. On May 2010, it
became a fully-fledged car factory,
producing cars from start to finish.
Numerous models of Lada, Skoda, KIA,
Chevrolet are now completely ‘made in
Kazakhstan’.
On a greenfield 180-hectare plot, the
company is building a new full-cycle
car production plant for the Lada Granta
and Lada Kalina. The plant is expected
to start producing in 2017 and will have
the flexibility to produce other brands
and models. ‘We worked the conceptual
design for three separate construction
phases, eventually resulting in a 300,000
m2 factory with 4,000 main production
employees’, says Tebodin Project
Manager Mr. Tomáš Perníček.

Tebodin’s experience in the car industry,
which includes 65 years of cooperation
with Škoda Auto, is hard to match. The
Prague-based specialists in car
production technology were able to
complete the entire design, in
accordance with Kazakh standards, in
less than six months.
Mr. Pernícek: ‘In greenfield projects like
this, the process technology is usually
provided by the manufacturer. In this
case we started from scratch: plot,
infrastructure, utilities, building services
and process technology. The scope also
included the quality and production
control systems. We sent the
conceptual design to the client for
comments and approval within four
months. A great advantage in this
project is the fact that we are able to
work and communicate in Russian.
