Infrastructure Engineering
 China's Global Railway Links

China is using rail to speed up transporting freight to Europe on routes

running through Russia, or via Iran and Turkey. By sea it takes cargo six
weeks to travel from the inland manufacturing city of Chengdu to Europe,
but now a rail freight service reaches Poland in two weeks.
There is even a train service to Madrid from eastern China that takes three
weeks. To improve connections, a $40 bn Silk Road Fund has been
established to finance infrastructure projects abroad.
There are also plans to link Kunming in southern China to Singapore via
several lines running through Burma, Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia.
Further afield, China is majority financing a new railway from the Kenyan
port of Mombasa to Nairobi, which is under construction. This all forms
part of Chinas One Belt, One Road programme to enhance trade routes.
As China diversifies its trade routes, new business hubs will appear,
creating opportunities for property investors.

Infrastructure Engineering
 African Ambitions

A major infrastructure project in Kenya is LAPSSET (Lamu

Port and Lamu-South Sudan-Ethiopia Transport Corridor).
This consists of a new 30-berth port and oil refinery at
Lamu, which will be connected to Nairobi and the borders
of Ethiopia and South Sudan by rail, road and oil pipelines.
In Ethiopia, a new Chinese funded railway line between
Addis Ababa and the Red Sea port of Djibouti is expected to
begin operations in 2016. Work has just completed in Addis
Ababa on a light rail system for the city.
In Nigeria, a Chinese firm has won the $12 bn contract to
build an 870 mile railway between Lagos in the west and
Calabar in the east. Construction has started on a new port
to the east of Lagos at Lekki, with phase one scheduled for
completion in 2018.
Infrastructure Engineering
The Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor

The DelhiMumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC) is a

development zone that will be targeted for investment to
build up new industries to support Indias rapid
urbanisation. The project will be partly backed by Japanese
investment. The transport backbone will be a freight rail
line called the Dedicated Western Freight Corridor, which is
intended to push down logistics costs in the region.
Along the corridor, smart cities are to be developed, as well
as three new seaports and six airports. The city of Dholera
has been declared a Special Investment Region, with a
target of tripling industrial output and quadrupling exports
in the next five years. The longterm goal is to create a new
mega city for India. IBM and Cisco have been contracted to
transform Dholera into a smart city.

Infrastructure Engineering
 Expanding the Panama and Suez
Canals
Presently ships queue up to transit the Panama Canal, whose
original locks are restricted to Panamax ships that carry around
5,000 containers. A new set of locks completes construction in 2016
that will offer passage to post-Panamax ships that can carry up to
13,000 containers. Port facilities around the world are being
expanded to handle post-Panamax ships, creating development
opportunities for real estate investors.
The Suez Canals lane has just been doubled in width to allow ships
to sail in both directions, with plans to develop the land along its
banks into an industrial zone. There is also more traffic on the
North East Passage, where ships follow icebreakers from Europe to
Asia through the Arctic Ocean. This could require new logistics
centres to serve the route.

Infrastructure Engineering
 Super Airports

In Dubai, Al Maktoum International Airport, which opened in 2010,

is to be expanded from a current freight capacity of 1 million tons
of cargo per annum to 16 million tons. Passenger services began in
2013, and the plan is to increase to 220 million passengers a year.
Dubai International, the worlds busiest airport, currently handles
around 72 million passengers. Al Maktoum is part of the Dubai
South, an economic freezone covering 56 square miles, which links
up with the nearby Jebel Ali Port.
Singapores Changi International Airport has a new fourth terminal
under construction, which will increase the airports capacity to 82
million passengers a year. Also, plans are being advanced for a third
runway at Hong Kong International Airport, which would allow it to
handle up to 102 million passengers.

Infrastructure Engineering
Panama canal

Infrastructure Engineering
 Already an engineering wonder, the 99-year-old Panama Canal is
being upgraded to cater for the ever increasing heft of the world's
merchant shipping fleet. Construction was approved in 2006 and is
due for completion in 2014.
See also: 7 of the world's most entertaining airports
The $5.25 billion project will add three 1,400-foot-long, 180 foot
wide and 60-foot-deep locks to each end of the 51-mile aquatic
passageway that links the Pacific and Atlantic oceans. This
enhanced capability will enable the canal to cater for more of the
giant container vessels that are increasingly favored by the world's
largest shipping companies.
A few hundred miles to the north meanwhile, early plans are afoot
to build a new canal in Nicaragua with even greater capacity at a
cost of $40 billion.

Infrastructure Engineering
Marmaray Project

Infrastructure Engineering
 A city straddling two continents, Istanbul has long been a
strategic gateway between Europe and Asia.
Now, construction of one of the world's deepest
submerged transport tunnels is pulling east and west even
closer together. The Marmaray Project is a 76-kilometer
(47.2-mile) subterranean railway development that will
ferry travelers under a 1.4-km (0.9-mile) section of the
Bosphorus Strait and connect busy railway lines on either
side of the historic waterway.
The project began in 2004 and is due to be completed
towards the end of 2013, later than originally planned due
to delays caused by the archaeological sensitivity of the
surrounding area.

Infrastructure Engineering
Beijing's new international airport

Infrastructure Engineering
 Playing host to eight runways and with the
capabilities to cater for 130 million passengers
every year, Beijing's new international airport
will be among the world's largest and busiest
when it is slated to come online in 2017
(although Istanbul's recently announced third
airport will trump it with a 150 million
capacity when it opens in 2018).

Infrastructure Engineering
 Air travel has expanded rapidly in China in recent years
in line with the country's booming economy. In 2011,
the Chinese government announced plans to increase
the total number of airports in the country from 175 to
230 by 2015 to cope with demand.
Beijing alone is set to handle between 450 and 500
million passengers every year by then, meaning the
city's existing airports need assistance to cope with the
expected rise in demand. Construction of the new
airport, which will be situated in the city's Daxing
district, was confirmed in January 2013 and is due to
begin in early 2014, according to local media.

Infrastructure Engineering
 Etihad Rail Network
In a land brimming with ostentatious development
projects, the nitty-gritty of rail infrastructure pales when
compared to the world's tallest building or man-made
luxury islands -- but it shouldn't.
The 1,200 kilometer Etihad Rail network will extend across
the desert hinterland of the United Arab Emirates, from the
border of Saudi Arabia in the west to the frontiers of Oman
in the east.
Costing $11 billion and taking in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and all of
the Northern Emirates, developers hope the freight and
passenger project will eventually join up with an
international rail network covering Bahrain, Kuwait, Saudi
Arabia, Oman and Qatar.

 Hyderabad Metro
Towering high above chaotic din of inner-city
traffic, the Hyderabad Metro system is expected
to provide daily transport for up to 1.7 million of
the southern Indian city's residents by 2017,
according to the regional government.
The $2.1 billion project will provide 72 kilometers
of elevated track with stations every one
kilometer. Developers say the system will improve
journey times, reduce traffic on roads and
provide an eco-friendly mass transport
alternative to polluting car or bus

 The LAPSSET Project
In 2012 the presidents of Kenya, Ethiopia and
South Sudan came together to launch the
ambitious LAPSSET (Lamu Port--South Sudan--
Ethiopia Transport Corridor) project.
The plans include an oil refinery, pipelines from
South Sudan, transportation hubs for rail, road
and air vehicles, plus a giant port for oil tankers. A
number of tourist resort cities are also expected
along the development's path.

Infrastructure Engineering
 Costs are set to come in at around $25 billion
although concerns remain over the impact on the
local environment. Lamu Port is listed as a
UNESCO World Heritage site and the surrounding
area is home to protected marine reserves and
forests.
The Kenyan government has set aside $23 million
for the Lamu section of the project while Reuters
reported that a Chinese company had won the
first tender to build three berths at the port in
April this year.

 London Crossrail
What the Hyderabad Metro does 20 meters above
ground, London's Crossrail project will seek to do
beneath the British capital's bustling streets and out
into its sprawling suburbs.
A $23 billion development, the 73-mile rail project will
connect London from East to West, improving access to
Heathrow Airport, central London as well as city's
surrounding towns and suburbs.
Work began in 2009 and the first trains could be in
operation as early as 2018. More than 8,000 people are
involved in the project working across 40 separate
construction sites.

 Riyadh Metro

In 2014 construction giants Bechtel, FFC, Strukton, and many more,

came together to start building the new infrastructure backbone of
Saudi Arabias capital, after having been awarded contracts adding
up to over US$23.5bn. As Riyadhs population is expected to grow
by 25 per cent until 2030, the new metro system is designed to
cater to the demand of an ever growing population, reduce street
congestion, and improve air quality. Over 176 kilometres of railway
line, combined with 85 kilometres of bus rapid transit, make the
Riyadh Metro the biggest mega project of its kind in the world.
Many of its stations will be designed to meet the Leadership in
Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) standards. The
technologies necessary to that end include heating, ventilating, and
air-conditioning efficiencies, and installations that conserve energy
and water. Additionally, the structures take advantage of Riyadhs
environment, generating electricity through photovoltaics.
