CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 General Overview of Research Object 1.1.1 Light Rail Transit Figure 1.1 LRT Source : www.kabar3.com The Palembang Light Rail Transit (Palembang LRT) is an operational light rail transit system in Palembang, Indonesia which connects Sultan Mahmud Badaruddin II International Airport and Jakabaring Sports City. Starting construction in 2015, the project was built to facilitate the 2018 Asian Games and was completed in mid-2018, just a few months before the event. Costing Rp 10.9 trillion for construction, the system is the first operational light rail transit system in Indonesia, and utilizes trains made by local manufacturer PT.INKA. The system's only line has a total of 13 stations (6 operational). As Palembang was to host the 2018 Asian Games, the project was pushed to be completed before the event began. Groundbreaking for the project occurred on 1 November 2015, with state-owned company Waskita Karya being appointed as the primary contractor following the issuance of Presidential Regulation 116 of 2015 on Acceleration of Railway Train Operation in South Sumatera Province. The contract, which was signed in February 2017, was initially valued at Rp 12.5 trillion. Construction was scheduled for completion in February 2018, with commercial service beginning in May 2018. However, the completion date was moved to June 2018 with operations beginning in July, only one month before the Asian Games. A test run was done on 22 May 2018 and was inaugurated by President Joko Widodo on 15 July 2018. Operations for the LRT started on 1 August, several days before the Jakarta LRT began running, making it the first operational LRT system in the country. -
White Paper Mexican Residential Real Estate
White Paper Mexican Residential Real Estate Toronto, Canada April, 2017 1 Table of Contents Investment Thesis Why Invest Capital in Mexican Residential Real Estate? o Strong Demographics will Drive Growth o Growing Middle Class = Favorable Demand Dynamics o Supply Shortfall (The Opportunity) o Government Support o Evolving Mortgage System Residential Market Overview o Product Segmentation o Housing Market Results 2015 o Housing Market Projections o Final Thoughts Barnhart Asset Management Corporate Overview 2 Mexican Residential Real Estate Investment Thesis Due to a young population in their early household formation years, low unemployment, strong economic growth and a government supported mortgage market, sustainable demand for housing in Mexico is anticipated for years to come. From a supply perspective, a fragmented home builder industry, a non competitive lending community and a non existent apartment rental sector has created a persisting housing deficit year over year. As a result of the supply and demand imbalance, BAM sees an opportunity to make significant risk adjusted returns by partnering with small and mid- sized local developers to provide new housing alternatives for the emerging middle class of Mexico. 3 Strong Demographics Will Drive Growth 4 Wealth Creation and Emerging Middle Class • Mexico has the 6th largest GDP per capita in the Americas with significant room for growth in the years to come. $60,000 GDP per Capita PPP $USD $50,000 $40,000 $30,000 $20,000 $10,000 $- Argentina Brazil Canada Colombia Mexico United States Source: International Monetary Fund (IMF), World Economic Outlook Database, April 2016. 5 Wealth Creation and Emerging Middle Class • Between 1992 and 2010, 42 million people became part of the Mexican middle class (annual income US$18-$50,000). -
Siena Footbridge
Structural Stainless Steel Case Study 05 Siena Footbridge Completed in 2006, this stainless steel cable stayed footbridge spans 60 m over a busy motorway in the suburb of Ruffolo, Siena, in central Italy. The bridge girders and pylons are fabricated from a ‘lean’ duplex grade of stainless steel and it is one of the first times this grade has been used for a footbridge. The bridge has a striking appearance, is functionally efficient and cost-effective with a low life cycle cost. Material Selection The City of Siena required an attractive pedestrian crossing to be constructed over the motorway in the suburb of Ruffolo. The structure needed to have a 120 year design life without expensive and disruptive maintenance requirements. The architect selected the ‘lean’ stainless steel duplex grade 1.4162 (S32101) for the girders and pylons of the bridge. Lean duplexes have a very low nickel content (1.5 % compared to >3 % in standard duplex stainless steels), which results in significant cost benefits compared to other austenitic and duplex grades. This grade of stainless steel also experiences less price volatility because of the low nickel content. The corrosion resistance of 1.4162, which lies between that of austenitic grades 1.4301 (S30400) and 1.4404 (S31603), is adequate for Ruffolo’s benign inland environment with relatively low pollution levels. Grade 1.4162 has high strength (450 N/mm2), good ductility (at least 30 %) and good formability and weldability. The high strength enables reductions in section sizes, relative to carbon steel sections, leading to lighter structures. This grade has tremendous potential for future structural applications. -

Investigation Future Planning of Railway Networks in the Arabs Gulf Countries
M. E. M. Najar & A. Khalfan Al Rahbi, Int. J. Transp. Dev. Integr., Vol. 1, No. 4 (2017) 654–665 INVESTIGATION FUTURE PLANNING OF RAILWAY NETWORKS IN THE ARABS GULF COUNTRIES MOHAMMAD EMAD MOTIEYAN NAJAR & ALIA KHALFAN AL RAHBI Department of Civil Engineering, Middle East College, Muscat, Oman ABSTRACT Trans-border railroad in the Arabian Peninsula dates back to the early 20th century in Saudi Arabia. Over the recent decades due to increasing population and developing industrial zones, the demands are growing up over time. The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) is now embarking on one of the largest modern cross-border rail networks in the world. This is an ambitious step regarding the planning and establishment of the rail network connecting all the six GCC countries. This railway network will go through at least one city in each country to link the cities of Kuwait in Kuwait, Dammam in Saudi Arabia, Manama in Bahrain, Doha in Qatar, the cities of Abu Dhabi and Al Ain in the United Arab Emirates and Sohar and then Muscat in Oman in terms of cargo and passengers. The area of investigation covers different aspects of the shared Arabian countries rail routes called ‘GCC line’ and their national rail network. The aim of this article is to study the existing future plans and policies of the GCC countries shared line and domestic railway network. This article studies the national urban (light rail transportation (LRT), metro (subways) and intercity rail transportation to appraise the potential of passenger movement and commodity transportation at present and in the future. -
CHAPTER 5 Transport and Air Quality in Santiago, Chile
CHAPTER 5 Transport and air quality in Santiago, Chile M. Osses1 & R. Fernández2 1Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Chile, Chile. 2Department of Civil Engineering, University of Chile, Chile. Abstract This chapter offers a review of the evolution of the transport system in Santiago de Chile during the period 2000–2010, and the implications of local transport policy on vehicle emissions and air quality. The chapter comprises five sections, starting with a general overview of the Metropolitan Region of Santiago and its population, as well as a description of the current transport system. The relationship between transport and air quality is analysed for the period 1991– 2001, describing car ownership and modal split trends, the technological evolution of vehicles, pollutant emissions from transport, and air quality trends. Finally, a critical review of Santiago’s transport policy is made, using the main programs of the 2001–2010 Urban Transport Plan for Santiago as a case study. The new public transport plan is included in this critical analysis (Transantiago), as well as a set of short-term strategies, road investment and car-use regulations, and non-motorized transport plans for pedestrians and cyclists in the city. Transport trends, however, show that Santiago is following the well-known car- public transport vicious circle that developed countries have gone through. This may offset the environmental effects from vehicle and transport improvements within the city. 1 Urban characteristics of Santiago The Metropolitan Region of Santiago, Chile, has a population of 6.1 million inhabitants, concentrating 40% of the whole population in the country. According to the latest census, the population of the Metropolitan Region of Santiago has grown by 15.3% during the last 10 years [1]. -
