says Mr. Pieter Koolen, chairman of the Tebodin Board of Directors:
‘We are happy with the opportunities it offers to our clients and staff.’
Bilfinger Berger is equally pleased: ‘With Tebodin,’ says Mr. Thomas
Töpfer, member of the Bilfinger
Berger Executive Board:
‘Bilfinger is a new name in
service and engineering.’

Tebodin and Bilfinger Berger:
the ultimate match
Industrial DNA
The process of alignment of the
companies and expanding services for
clients is running smoothly. ‘We are the
ultimate match,’ says Mr. Pieter Koolen,
commenting on the complimentary
services, sectors and strategies: ‘We have
a shared view on being close to our
clients. Furthermore, like Tebodin,
Bilfinger Berger has real industrial DNA
and fully understands our clients’ needs
and concerns. Together we can take on
new challenges, making Tebodin the top
choice for engineering and consultancy.’
Mr. Thomas Töpfer: ‘Our clients
increasingly want a one-stop solution,
and they are looking for the international
presence that Tebodin has. In my talks
with Pieter Koolen, many opportunities
surfaced. I am surprised at how robust
many markets in the process industry are
still in Europe. Where we didn’t expect
investments, today we see many
developments, and a growth market
outside Europe.’
Increased scope
‘One of our first actions is to team up for
long-term clients,’ Mr. Koolen expands:
‘At the same time, we are looking at
further strengthening existing operations
and diversification of our presence,
geographically and in industrial markets.
Clients can decide to give the full scope
to us, or choose those parts from our
combined menu cards they need and
want.’
Due to the fast economic growth of
the Asia Pacific region and
increasing demand from clients,
Tebodin has established an office in
Thailand. With this new office,
located in Bangkok, another country
has been entered by Tebodin. It is
the eighth office in the Asia Pacific
region. The total number of
engineers and consultants in this
region is over 500.
The new Tebodin office in Thailand
will focus on services to worldwide
clients who are active in industrial
markets. The first target is to assist
clients who are already served by
Tebodin in other countries.
Tebodin has seen a rapid growth in
the Asia Pacific region over the last
years. Since 2010 five new offices
have been established in this region:
in China (Guangzhou and Nanjing),
Indonesia (Jakarta), Malaysia (Kuala
Lumpur) and the new office in
Thailand. Other Tebodin offices in
this area are located in Shanghai
(China), Chennai (India) and
Ho Chi Minh City (Vietnam).

‘Today is the last day of the shutdown. Scaffolding is taken down,
tools leave the building, we can see more of the beautiful ground
floor and the sound of machines is increasingly replaced by the
sounds of regular production. On a day like this, I want to share my
admiration and pride with you. So many have worked so hard to
realize this maintenance stop within the set time-limits with optimal
attention to safety.’
From a letter by Mr. Robert Dam of MSD,
to everyone involved in the three week
maintenance stop at a MSD plant in Oss,
the Netherlands, in May 2012. Tebodin
coordinated the stop.
Synergy advantages
MSD, known as Merck in the United
States and Canada, is a global health
care leader. The Oss site is home to
MSD API, a worldwide supplier of active
pharmaceutical ingredients. The goal of
the production stop was to complete
several projects to secure future
production capacity. Not less than
50 significant projects were executed in
three weeks time, including other
maintenance and periodic inspection
activities.
MSD requested Tebodin to coordinate the
activities, to realize synergy advantages
over the different projects, to execute the
stop with an excellent HSE track record –
Zero Incidents – and to reduce downtime.
Highly valued partnership
Tebodin has executed many projects for
MSD. In March 2011, Tebodin and MSD
signed an umbrella contract for architecture
and engineering services, and later that
year, MSD expanded the partnership with a
contract for construction management
services. Both contracts are the continuation
of a highly valued relationship.
Remarkable challenges
This project at MSD Oss is remarkable
for its fast track preparation of only
2.5 months instead of the regular 6 to
12 months, including selection of
contractors. Preparation ran from February
to April 2012, for the three week
shutdown in April and May. Other
challenges included the limited space for
hundreds of contractors to work in and the
diversity of projects and stakeholders.
Those challenges were met, concludes
Mr. Robert van Dam of MSD: ‘It looks like
we’ve succeeded, together.
Successful turnaround of MSD pharmaceutical plant
My compliments to the coordinating
team, too. As far as I’m concerned, this
approach to shutdown is certainly
recommendable.’

Fast track OHSAS 18001 certification
It took twelve months to reach the OHSAS 18001 (Occupational Health and Safety
Assessment Services) certification in all our countries as per 1 July 2012. This fast
track implementation was possible thanks to the dedication and support of all our
staff, for which we owe them our respect. It shows that safety is in the heart and
mind of our people. Together with our clients we will pursue to reach our goal of
Zero Harm.

World class service
Bilfinger Berger has received many
positive reactions on the acquisition of
Tebodin, says Mr. Töpfer: ‘I have acquired
approximately 25 companies; I seldom
had so many congratulations.’ Mr. Töpfer
is responsible for the Industrial Services
segment, in which Tebodin is allocated –
by far Bilfinger’s biggest segment,
grossing 3.3 billion Euros last year.
Mr. Koolen: ‘We are very pleased that
Bilfinger decided to make Tebodin the core
of a new subdivision in the field of
engineering and project management.
To be clear, this does not impact existing
Tebodin operations and offices. Tebodin
and Bilfinger Berger can, together, ensure
continuation of world class services for all
our clients.’

Saudi Basic Industries Corporation (SABIC)
ranks among the world’s top
petrochemical companies. In Europe SABIC
has 12 world-scale production facilities.
An extensive network of local sales offices
and logistical hubs are responsible for sales
of these products as well as those
manufactured elsewhere in the world. In
addition SABIC has three research facilities.
An extensive network of local sales offices
and logistical hubs are responsible for sales
of these products as well as those

addition SABIC has three research facilities
based in the region, which form part of its
global Technology and Innovation
organization.
Priorities
With two naphtha crackers and several
polymerization plants for the production of
polyethylene and polypropylene, the
facilities in Geleen occupy a vast percentage
of the Chemelot industrial site. The site is
connected to the ports of Rotterdam and
Antwerp, as well as the Ruhr area in
Germany, by a pipeline network that
delivers the raw materials. The SABIC
engineering team in Geleen is focusing on
a number of high-priority activities,
including sizeable capital projects.
‘Tebodin brings us additional engineering
capacity in a different way of working’,
says SABIC project manager Mr. Ger
Graven. They will support us with project
portfolio management, increase our
capabilities in realizing our projects, assist
in optimizing work processes and
minimizing the overall amount of man
hours involved. Thus, enabling our
stakeholders to receive quality product and
services.
Parallel projects
Tebodin had already proven the value of
its project management skills and on-site
presence at Chemelot in earlier
assignments. Tebodin project portfolio
manager Mr. Roger Smeets explains: ‘We
are introducing a different way of working.
We develop multiple projects in parallel,
with minimal guidance and control from
the client side, and maximum cooperation
between engineers, designers and the
construction contractors. Early interactions
with the contractors are vital to this
integrated project approach.’
An important success factor is the on-site
presence which enables parties to work
very closely together. Mr. Smeets: ‘Timely
information gathering is a key factor in
achieving alignment with SABIC’s team
and setting up proper project portfolio
management. Multiple work processes can
be optimized in relation to the different
project scopes. In the beginning of 2012
we started off by working on seven
projects. Over the next few years, this may
develop into various projects and activities,
from front-end loading to engineering,
procurement and construction.’

IAC’s search for a suitable location
close to Ford’s Romanian production
facility led them to Bals. Only
25 kilometers away from Craiova, the
site offered proximity to utilities such
as gas and electricity and the
availability of workforce in the area.
From Bals, IAC will be delivering
systems and components for Ford’s
future model B-Max.
Delivering speed and quality
HOCHTIEF was chosen as the
general contractor for the project,
with Tebodin Romania acting as the
project manager. ‘They have done
an excellent job of supervising the
execution of all works in accordance
with the design,’ says Mr. Darryl
Roadnight, general project manager
for IAC, ‘as well as monitoring
compliance with Romanian law and
our quality requirements. Tebodin’s
presence during all critical moments
has been a great help in delivering
the speed and quality we needed on
this site.’
‘This project confirms our long-standing
relationship with both IAC and
HOCHTIEF on investments worldwide’,
says Mr. Dan Baloi, Tebodin’s business
development manager in Romania.
‘We were very pleased to see our close
collaboration result in early completion
without compromising on quality.
Enabling IAC to enable Ford in Romania
Making it possible for clients
to build great machines is the
nature of an original
equipment manufacturer
such as International
Automotive Components (IAC
Group). They in turn have
chosen to rely on the services
of Tebodin in Romania:
together they have set up a
new factory for their interior
car components and systems.

Prague’s historical inner city is ever more attractive for tourists,
discerning shoppers and property investors alike. On one of the
city’s main boulevards, developer LORDSHIP and IMMOFINANZ
Group as investors are preserving the impressive façade of a former
bank while building office and retail space for the 21st
century.
The wide boulevard Na Prˇíkopeˇ, running
eastward from the famous Wenceslas
Square, features some of the most
expensive commercial real estate in the
Czech capital. The building on the corner
with Panská Street, built as a bank at the
beginning of the 20th
century, is located in
the Prague heritage historical center.
Building modern office and retail facilities
on this prime location was always going
to be a challenge which perfectly suits the
experienced property developer LORDSHIP.
The company has been active in real estate
investment and development in Central
Europe since 1991, and is taking on this
prestigious project together with
IMMOFINANZ Group.
Top class project
The location and the preservation of
historical elements are the main aspects
of this project. But there’s more. The
building will include an automatic parking
system for up to 150 cars in the
underground floors, which needed to be
excavated under the original basement of
the building. Moreover, the goal of the
project is to develop this location to the
highest of international standards and
achieve a LEED Gold certification.
A tight spot
There are many difficulties to overcome,
according to Tebodin project manager
Mr. Pavel Novotný. ‘At a location like
this, the logistics can become really
complicated as the
access to the site
is naturally limited and
the working space
became very cramped

Value engineering
for top Asian
vegetable seed
East-West Seed International aims to improve the quality of
vegetable seed in Asia and therefore will have a new facility in
Vietnam to expand its activities. Tebodin has started with a value
engineering session of an already existing design of a seed
processing plant in Vietnam. Based on the value engineering it
was further developed into a detail design, which was locally
tendered and for which the construction will start very soon.
Value engineering, in other words we
will execute engineering specifically
to make budgets go the longest way
while maximizing functional value.
Tebodin’s ability to offer this service
was an important factor in winning
the contract to complete East-West
Seed’s seed processing plant – a
project that had already been
started and is now on
schedule for completion by
the end of 2012.
The best of Europe and Asia
‘Tebodin had what we were
looking for’, says Mr. Joost van
Elzakker, project manager for
East-West Seed: ‘Extensive
knowledge and experience in
design, procurement, construction
management end, especially value
engineering. With them, we have been
able to make a fresh start and they are
delivering on time and within budget.’
The seed processing plant is being set
up to supply quality seed products for
the Vietnamese market. Vietnam is
one of six countries in Asia where
East-West Seed locally operates, its
goal always is to bring Western
expertise to Asian vegetable
cultivation. Since its establishment in
1982 the company has significantly
raised the industry standard in Asia,
thereby improving the economic
situation of farmers by improving Asian
vegetable varieties.
‘We are committed to make this project
a success,’ says project manager
Mr. Nguyen Ngoc Duoc, ‘and we
would like to see it become the start
of a fruitful business relationship.’

Going for LEED Gold in the heart of Prague
Adventure World Warsaw is going to be the largest fun park of
Central and Eastern Europe. After the last administrative hurdles
were taken this spring, construction works are now set to start
in earnest. The park is expected to open its doors to the public
in the first quarter of 2015.
Project development company Las Palm is
confident about the market potential for
a large-scale theme park in the middle of
Poland. The ideal location for the
240-hectare site was found in Grodzisk
Mazowiecki, 30 km southwest of
Warsaw. The town is at the crossroads of
Poland’s major highways and also has
good rail links, allowing easy access from
other countries.
Two million visitors a year
Adventure World Warsaw will have
indoor facilities open all year round, as
well as an open-air section in use from
April to November. Apart from the hotels,
restaurants, bars, cinemas and shops that
will help make it a family destination for
more than one day, the park features a
dazzling array of spectacular rides and
attractions.

On the project Tebodin has taken on the
roles of technical supervisor and also
health & safety coordinator, which is
especially important in these conditions.
Mr. Novotný: ‘The basement plate is
17,5 meters below street level, while the
groundwater reaches to about 11 meters
below street level. We had to secure the
integrity of the façade at all times while
the conveyor belt system for the removal
of soil from the massive pit left us almost
no space for the temporary site facilities.
All went well however, and the project is
on schedule to be completed in June
2013.’

International support for
pharmaceutical campus
In April 2011, Tebodin was contacted by Orion Pharma from
Bangladesh for the conceptual design of a pharmaceutical campus,
housing several factories, each manufacturing a great number of
pharmaceutical products. Creation of a Site Master Plan and full
compliance with international Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP)
regulations were essential. The combined vast experience in
designing pharmaceutical buildings of Tebodin’s Eindhoven office and
Irish partner RKD Architects proved critical for this complex project.
Hard to reach places
At first sight, the green field project
seemed easy enough. However, it turned
out to be either a paddy or rice field in
the capital city of Dhaka, or a relative dry
but remote field in Bhaluka. Furthermore,
the project had to be executed in the
most densely populated country of the
world. The design team had to be
transported by helicopter to site visits
as normal traffic over a distance of
70 kilometers from Dhaka to Bhaluka
would take all day – one way.
Varied scope
The scope covered over 600 different
products and 25 dosing forms, such as
tablets, capsules, ampoules, syrups,
ointment, and injections. These products
and processes were divided over five
different factories, including a blood
plasma fractionation plant, a sterile
manufacturing building and a building
for hormones and contraceptives – plus
a variety of site utilities.
Helicopter view
Tebodin and RKD Architects invented a
birds-eye view hierarchy
starting with the site
level, followed by
the factories,
processes, unit-
operations and
components. The processes were
described in ‘master modules’ and jigsaw-
puzzled into the factories. This, in
combination with capturing all relevant
All vessel movements in the port of Rotterdam are
directed from two vessel traffic centers. One of these, in
Hoek van Holland on the North Sea coast, is being
completely renovated. The port of Rotterdam Authority
called on Tebodin for an integrated redesign of the
building.
Europe’s largest port is an important
distribution center for inland European
destinations. The Port of Rotterdam has
a sizeable petrochemical industry and
several oil refineries, and is also a major
grain and general cargo harbor.
Safe shipping
The Port Authority develops and manages
all port facilities. It is responsible for safe
shipping in the entire port area of over
11,000 hectares. It also monitors all traffic
with the help of 85 vessel traffic
operators and a high-tech network of
38 radar stations. The system has two
vessel traffic centers, one of which was
renovated two years ago.
The busy port has a great safety record
and is determined to keep it, according
to Mr. Gerard van Kralingen, design and
construction manager for the Port
Authority. ‘We are upgrading the
technology to ensure safety and efficiency
while the port is growing fast. In the next
20 years, a 20 percent increase in vessel
movements is expected. Our system can
monitor ships constantly, from
60 kilometers off the coast all the way
into Rotterdam (40 kilometers).’
World War II bunker
‘The building in Hoek van
Holland has an interesting
history’, says Tebodin
project manager Mr. Duncan Goodall. ‘In
order to make use of the best location,
the Vessel Traffic Center was constructed
on top of one of the World War II
bunkers that litter the Dutch North Sea
coast. Our main task in redesigning the
building to meet current demands was to
optimize the logic and efficiency in the
way it is used, while maintaining its
architectural presence. Since the very
beginning in February 2011 our architects
have worked on an integrated design
with all disciplines represented. There
have been a few challenges, but the
building will be completed on-schedule in
August 2012; with the interior fit-out
following in November. Over the last few
months we have also been working on
another project for the Port Authority; a
preliminary design and cost estimate for
a new radar tower on Maasvlakte that
we hope to be able to develop further in
the coming period.’

Praxair is building new air
separation facilities in Russia’s
Sverdlovsk region to produce
industrial gases for local clients.
Tebodin already proved its worth
to Praxair and the Ekaterinburg
office now underlines its local
added value in Eastern Europe.
Industrial gases are used in a whole range
of industries and manufacturing processes,
including oil refining and the production of
steel, fertilizer, food and electronics. They
may be noble gases such as helium and
neon, or compound gases such as
hydrogen chloride. Most common are
nitrogen and oxygen, which can be
produced in an air separation plant.
Russian market leader
Praxair has 26,000 employees worldwide
and produces industrial, process and
specialty gases in over 30 countries. After
significant investments in its Russian
capacity, the company now produces over
3,500 tons of oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen
and argon each day. ‘Praxair strives to be
market leader and Tebodin wants to be its
reliable and long-term partner’, says
project manager Mr. Sergey Polyakov.
‘This is the first of several Praxair projects
for Tebodin in Russia.’ Praxair is building
the new plant on the site of the Evraz

When Petroleum Development Oman
(PDO), the foremost oil exploration and
production company in the Sultanate of
Oman, was faced with on-plot pipe
corrosion on its Saih Rawl station, it
decided that the way to stop the stream of
repairs was to replace the existing bare
steel piping, inlet headers and valves.
Modern materials
The new parts will be more resilient
against the corrosive qualities of the
oil as they are lined with either fusion
bonded epoxy or high-density
polyethylene. The overhaul will result
in a station that is more reliable and
cheaper to maintain. The equipment
will have a longer service life and
better adaptability to various operation
methods including methods to be
developed in the future. Also, thanks
to the existing butterfly valves being
replaced by ball valves, PDO will be
able to shut down parts of the station
without valve passing.

Tebodin participated in…
You need to have it, but never hope to use it: a fire fighting
system at a tanker loading station. Tebodin is helping
Taq Taq Operating Company to keep fire safety up to par
with growing production.
Pipeline Technology Conference
On the 7th Pipeline Technology
conference for Central Europe, reports
of the latest key projects pipelines were
discussed as well as new developments
in the oil and gas industry.
Tebodin presented a paper about soil
friction along Horizontal Directional
Drillings (HDD). In the paper a refined
model of applying soil friction along
HDD’s is proposed to reduce force/stress
on the critical parts (upper bends) of the
drillings which is important to design more
economically.
‘Tebodin takes your assets into the future‘
This symposium was organized by the
Consultancy unit and Netherlands West. It
covered how to make a profitable life from
the assets at a minimal cost.
As oil export capacity in the Taq Taq license area in Kurdistan (Northern Iraq) is
being increased from a nominal 60,000 barrels to 150,000 barrels per day, Taq Taq
Operating Company (TTOPCO) is upgrading its facilities accordingly. The company
chose to call in the expertise of Tebodin in setting up a new version of the fire
fighting system at the tanker loading station.
The main project of upgrading the loading station was awarded to Turkish
contractor HAVATEK who have already commenced engineering work for this
project. Mr. Torolf Holme, Facilities Manager at TTOPCO: ‘In addition, we have
asked Tebodin’s Abu Dhabi office to review the requirements for the upgrade of the
fire fighting system. Based on that review, they will prepare a brief that will enable
us to enter discussions with the contractor about amending their work scope.’
Fire fighting advice throughout the project
‘A solid fire safety concept is a crucial part of a project such as this,’ says Mr. Peter
van Gorp, Team Leader Fire and Safety Consultancy on behalf of Tebodin. ‘After
preparing the brief, we will continue providing our services as reviewers of the
contractor’s detailed engineering and as TTOPCO’s fire fighting advisors throughout
the project.’
TTOPCO is a purpose entity established and jointly owned by
Genel Energy PLC and Addax Petroleum International Ltd.,
a wholly owned subsidiary of Sinopec. Its operation in
Kurdistan consists of a central production facility, where crude
oil is gathered and treated, and a tanker loading station from
where crude oil is transported to refineries in the region.

country: ‘Several billions of euros are
currently being invested annually, with the
majority of contracts being awarded to
Ukrainian engineering and construction
companies and process suppliers such as
Siemens VAI, Danieli and SMS Group. Our
first contract in this high-potential market
was as Siemens VAI’s engineering partner
on a project to modernize Ukraine’s largest
metallurgical enterprise, Krivorizhstal.
Siemens VAI is acting as process supplier
for Arcelor Mittal, who won the tender for
the privatization of Krivorizhstal in 2005. In
their investment agreement with the
government they agreed to undertake an
ambitious modernization program: they
would upgrade production from low-tech
semis to high-end steel products and would
also drastically reduce energy consumption
and emissions from the plant.’

Major potential in Ukraine’s steel market
With a history that dates back to the 1930s
Ukraine’s steel industry is still an important
contributor to the country’s economy.
Ukraine stably occupies a top-ten place
among the world’s steel producers and a
top-five place among steel exporters. But
there is also a downside to the industry’s
long history: many plants are several
decades old, with out-dated technology
that is falling behind in terms of quality,
energy efficiency and environmental
friendliness. If Ukraine’s steel industry
wants to maintain its position in the global
steel market, it will have to update.
Global spin-off
‘Tebodin is actively pursuing modernization
projects in this market’, says Mr. Valery
Levko, Tebodin’s manager director in
Ukraine. ‘As an international company with
a local presence we are an interesting
partner for both Ukrainian steel producers
and international investors. Metallurgy is a
highly globalized industry, so a successful
role in updating Ukraine’s steel industry
could seriously benefit Tebodin’s profile in
hard industrial engineering for Tebodin on a
global level.’

Energy hub concept
Ertzberg is involved in the European
e-hub research program into the benefits
of smart energy management systems,
covering the whole chain from power
plant to end-consumer. Ertzberg and their
European Community partners aim to
implement and demonstrate their smart
energy grid concept
in the Tweewaters
project with the help
of a consortium of
energy specialists.
Ultimate smart-grid design
‘This project is about the ultimate
smart-grid design in a BREEAM building
environment,’ says Tebodin project
manager Mr. Arasta Pourkamal: ‘A great
deal of energy and CO2
reduction is
achieved through optimized building
design and architecture and local
co-generation in combination with smart
controlling of power consumers such as
household appliances. Also, local energy
resources such as biogas from organic
waste are incorporated in the concept.
In this way, the project area will have an
energy reduction up to 60% and a CO2
reduction of 55% compared to a typical
residential area.’
Ertzberg has already integrated the
concept of electric vehicles in the private
and public parking’s of tweewaters area.
Meanwhile the smartness software is
prepared to manage the battery charge
and discharge of a smart electrical vehicle
whenever the local grid requires.
Building on expertise
The Tebodin team has so far provided a
wide range of services on the project,
the concept into a business model to
generate visible financial, technical and
ecological values, in close collaboration
with Ertzberg. Many design issues are
new in this project. We rely strongly on
our combined knowledge and experience
gained in many other energy projects’

Belgium city developer Ertzberg is setting up Tweewaters, a new
residential area in the city of Leuven, Belgium, as a smart sustainable
quarter. Tebodin is participating in development of the conceptual
design and business development of this future smart energy
infrastructure, using its experience in sharing expertise to transform the
concept into clear designs for all participating partner in this project.
Transforming expertise into a smart energy future
Many producers of materials for the
construction sector are expanding their
geographical footprint to those places
where the action is.
Developing economies in Eastern Europe
and Asia for instance are pulling in the
investment in production assets from
construction materials producers.
The ever increasing economic
development in these countries fuels the
demand for cement, steel, insulation
materials, float glass, plaster board, etc.
In order to keep transport costs minimal,
producers of these materials choose to be
close to the newly developing markets.
says Mr. Pourkamal: ‘We transformed the
concept into engineering templates that
all stakeholders can use. This ability to
communicate over different platforms is
the result of the culture of free exchange
of expertise within the worldwide
Tebodin organization.’
‘We also integrated the technical and
functional components of
energy consortium partners are deciding
on their participation in the operational
phase.
If the energy consortium decides to
proceed, an immediate need arises for
technical coordination between all
partners for a period of at least a year.
So far Tebodin is the only nominated
candidate for this job.

approaches of Orgaworld – resulting in
project teams with a thorough and swift
approach to the realisation of common
project goals.
At present, Orgaworld is facing a rapidly
growing global demand for organic waste
treatment, resulting in interesting
opportunities across Europe and the
Americas for Orgaworld solutions such
as conversion of organic waste into
renewable biogas, heat, power and
green gas. An agile response to these
opportunities requires project teams to
come up with quick conceptual designs,
cost estimates and good visual
representations of the envisioned
developments. From there on the
pressure is on to come up with sound
basic designs to communicate a project’s
purpose to contractors and equipment
vendors, so that the challenging plans can
be realised in time.
Facing new challenges head on
With a view to facilitating this,
Orgaworld’s managing director Henk
Kaskens has asked Dennis Brand, office
director of Tebodin’s Velsen office, to
intensify the business relationship. This
included the creation of new overall
engineering management position at
Orgaworld, which has been filled by
Tebodin’s Peter Kruidering. He currently
oversees several project developments.
New challenging projects in Belgium and
Drachten are met ‘head on’ by the offices
in Eindhoven and Groningen, while the
Velsen office provides services for the
Amsterdam site. One of the tools that are
used to speed up the pace is
standardization, which is achieved
through Orgaworld and Tebodin working
closely together to exchange knowledge
and make sure the lessons learned from
the past are translated into the designs of
today.
Together with Tebodin, Orgaworld
expects to expand its operations in
Europe, where both parties can benefit
from each other’s network.

Safety in the work environment can be achieved through many
means, one of those being good housekeeping.
Mr. Sabeer Ali, QOHSE-Director explains why this is important.
‘First of all I would like to congratulate
everyone with the achievement of a
major safety goal: one year (2011)
without Lost Time Incidents.’ This
significant achievement by all Tebodin
employees clearly shows how safety is
our top priority. I like to express my
appreciation for the efforts of everyone
involved; their maximum efforts have
meant a huge contribution to keeping
work areas safe.’
Tebodin has defined ‘Zero Harm’ as
the main OHSE goal. Our underlying
principle will always be that we care
for people, the environment and the
communities we work in’, says
Mr. Sabeer Ali.
Keeping sites clean
The OHSE performances during the first
quarter of 2012 Mr. Sabeer Ali pointed
out: ‘A closer look at our reports of safety
interventions shows that there are three
areas in particular that require further
attention to reduce safety risks on sites
and in offices: housekeeping, working at
height, and using Personal Protective
Equipment.
In order to create a safe working
environment, we all need to take our
share in keeping sites clean, tidy and
organized. By the way, good
housekeeping promotes productivity –
all in all, it is a good indicator of the level
of professionalism in the work area.’
Tebodin safety tools
A significant amount of works are in
progress to continually improve OHSE
performance in Tebodin. To ensure that
everyone remains focused and alerted,
we have developed a range of tools as
part of our process-based OHSE
management system. Safety is everyone’s
responsibility; everyone needs to know
how to work safely and how to protect
the workers. The success of OHSE
performances is based on understanding
and applying the basic principles
uniformly in all our work places.

  • 1. Tebodin has recently become part of the Bilfinger Berger Group, a leading provider of services for industrial facilities, power plants and buildings. ‘We are very proud to be part of the Bilfinger family,’ says Mr. Pieter Koolen, chairman of the Tebodin Board of Directors: ‘We are happy with the opportunities it offers to our clients and staff.’ Bilfinger Berger is equally pleased: ‘With Tebodin,’ says Mr. Thomas Töpfer, member of the Bilfinger Berger Executive Board: ‘Bilfinger is a new name in service and engineering.’ July 2012, Volume 52, Edition 3 Value engineering for top Asian vegetable seed Construction materialsAn end to leakage in Omani oil station New office in Thailand Tebodin and Bilfinger Berger: the ultimate match Industrial DNA The process of alignment of the companies and expanding services for clients is running smoothly. ‘We are the ultimate match,’ says Mr. Pieter Koolen, commenting on the complimentary services, sectors and strategies: ‘We have a shared view on being close to our clients. Furthermore, like Tebodin, Bilfinger Berger has real industrial DNA and fully understands our clients’ needs and concerns. Together we can take on new challenges, making Tebodin the top choice for engineering and consultancy.’ Mr. Thomas Töpfer: ‘Our clients increasingly want a one-stop solution, and they are looking for the international presence that Tebodin has. In my talks with Pieter Koolen, many opportunities surfaced. I am surprised at how robust many markets in the process industry are still in Europe. Where we didn’t expect investments, today we see many developments, and a growth market outside Europe.’ Increased scope ‘One of our first actions is to team up for long-term clients,’ Mr. Koolen expands: ‘At the same time, we are looking at further strengthening existing operations and diversification of our presence, geographically and in industrial markets. Clients can decide to give the full scope to us, or choose those parts from our combined menu cards they need and want.’ Due to the fast economic growth of the Asia Pacific region and increasing demand from clients, Tebodin has established an office in Thailand. With this new office, located in Bangkok, another country has been entered by Tebodin. It is the eighth office in the Asia Pacific region. The total number of engineers and consultants in this region is over 500. The new Tebodin office in Thailand will focus on services to worldwide clients who are active in industrial markets. The first target is to assist clients who are already served by Tebodin in other countries. Tebodin has seen a rapid growth in the Asia Pacific region over the last years. Since 2010 five new offices have been established in this region: in China (Guangzhou and Nanjing), Indonesia (Jakarta), Malaysia (Kuala Lumpur) and the new office in Thailand. Other Tebodin offices in this area are located in Shanghai (China), Chennai (India) and Ho Chi Minh City (Vietnam). More info: Mr. Ivo Rousar Managing Director Malaysia and Thailand i.rousar@tebodin.co.th | +66 806 228 589 ‘Today is the last day of the shutdown. Scaffolding is taken down, tools leave the building, we can see more of the beautiful ground floor and the sound of machines is increasingly replaced by the sounds of regular production. On a day like this, I want to share my admiration and pride with you. So many have worked so hard to realize this maintenance stop within the set time-limits with optimal attention to safety.’ From a letter by Mr. Robert Dam of MSD, to everyone involved in the three week maintenance stop at a MSD plant in Oss, the Netherlands, in May 2012. Tebodin coordinated the stop. Synergy advantages MSD, known as Merck in the United States and Canada, is a global health care leader. The Oss site is home to MSD API, a worldwide supplier of active pharmaceutical ingredients. The goal of the production stop was to complete several projects to secure future production capacity. Not less than 50 significant projects were executed in three weeks time, including other maintenance and periodic inspection activities. MSD requested Tebodin to coordinate the activities, to realize synergy advantages over the different projects, to execute the stop with an excellent HSE track record – Zero Incidents – and to reduce downtime. Highly valued partnership Tebodin has executed many projects for MSD. In March 2011, Tebodin and MSD signed an umbrella contract for architecture and engineering services, and later that year, MSD expanded the partnership with a contract for construction management services. Both contracts are the continuation of a highly valued relationship. Remarkable challenges This project at MSD Oss is remarkable for its fast track preparation of only 2.5 months instead of the regular 6 to 12 months, including selection of contractors. Preparation ran from February to April 2012, for the three week shutdown in April and May. Other challenges included the limited space for hundreds of contractors to work in and the diversity of projects and stakeholders. Those challenges were met, concludes Mr. Robert van Dam of MSD: ‘It looks like we’ve succeeded, together. Successful turnaround of MSD pharmaceutical plant My compliments to the coordinating team, too. As far as I’m concerned, this approach to shutdown is certainly recommendable.’ More info: Mr. John Horn Office Director Eindhoven j.horn@tebodin.com | +31 40 265 21 74 Mr. Pieter Koolen Fast track OHSAS 18001 certification It took twelve months to reach the OHSAS 18001 (Occupational Health and Safety Assessment Services) certification in all our countries as per 1 July 2012. This fast track implementation was possible thanks to the dedication and support of all our staff, for which we owe them our respect. It shows that safety is in the heart and mind of our people. Together with our clients we will pursue to reach our goal of Zero Harm. Pieter Koolen Chairman, Tebodin Board of Directors World class service Bilfinger Berger has received many positive reactions on the acquisition of Tebodin, says Mr. Töpfer: ‘I have acquired approximately 25 companies; I seldom had so many congratulations.’ Mr. Töpfer is responsible for the Industrial Services segment, in which Tebodin is allocated – by far Bilfinger’s biggest segment, grossing 3.3 billion Euros last year. Mr. Koolen: ‘We are very pleased that Bilfinger decided to make Tebodin the core of a new subdivision in the field of engineering and project management. To be clear, this does not impact existing Tebodin operations and offices. Tebodin and Bilfinger Berger can, together, ensure continuation of world class services for all our clients.’ Mr. Thomas Töpfer
  • 2. Innovative project management for SABIC A selection of our various current projects SABIC is a major producer of chemicals and polyolefins. At the Chemelot site in Geleen, the Netherlands, Tebodin is streamlining the simultaneous execution of engineering projects with project portfolio management. °C 22˚ 23˚ 22˚ 30˚ 25˚ 26˚ Saudi Basic Industries Corporation (SABIC) ranks among the world’s top petrochemical companies. In Europe SABIC has 12 world-scale production facilities. An extensive network of local sales offices and logistical hubs are responsible for sales of these products as well as those manufactured elsewhere in the world. In addition SABIC has three research facilities. An extensive network of local sales offices and logistical hubs are responsible for sales of these products as well as those manufactured elsewhere in the world. In addition SABIC has three research facilities based in the region, which form part of its global Technology and Innovation organization. Priorities With two naphtha crackers and several polymerization plants for the production of polyethylene and polypropylene, the facilities in Geleen occupy a vast percentage of the Chemelot industrial site. The site is connected to the ports of Rotterdam and Antwerp, as well as the Ruhr area in Germany, by a pipeline network that delivers the raw materials. The SABIC engineering team in Geleen is focusing on a number of high-priority activities, including sizeable capital projects. ‘Tebodin brings us additional engineering capacity in a different way of working’, says SABIC project manager Mr. Ger Graven. They will support us with project portfolio management, increase our capabilities in realizing our projects, assist in optimizing work processes and minimizing the overall amount of man hours involved. Thus, enabling our stakeholders to receive quality product and services. Parallel projects Tebodin had already proven the value of its project management skills and on-site presence at Chemelot in earlier assignments. Tebodin project portfolio manager Mr. Roger Smeets explains: ‘We are introducing a different way of working. We develop multiple projects in parallel, with minimal guidance and control from the client side, and maximum cooperation between engineers, designers and the construction contractors. Early interactions with the contractors are vital to this integrated project approach.’ An important success factor is the on-site presence which enables parties to work very closely together. Mr. Smeets: ‘Timely information gathering is a key factor in achieving alignment with SABIC’s team and setting up proper project portfolio management. Multiple work processes can be optimized in relation to the different project scopes. In the beginning of 2012 we started off by working on seven projects. Over the next few years, this may develop into various projects and activities, from front-end loading to engineering, procurement and construction.’ More info: Mr. Niek de Koning Office Director Maastricht n.dekoning@tebodin.com | +31 43 329 47 03 Up and running already Speeding up construction was achieved partly by the use of prefabricated concrete elements in structural elements such as the foundation and slabs, and by the use of new materials and technologies such as soil improvement with special solutions and injections with epoxy resins. Production has already started at the 15,000 square meter IAC Bals manufacturing plant. It is fully operational since the first quarter of 2012. More info: Mr. Jasper van der Kooi Managing Director Romania jasper.vanderkooi@tebodin.ro | +40 21 311 71 86 IAC’s search for a suitable location close to Ford’s Romanian production facility led them to Bals. Only 25 kilometers away from Craiova, the site offered proximity to utilities such as gas and electricity and the availability of workforce in the area. From Bals, IAC will be delivering systems and components for Ford’s future model B-Max. Delivering speed and quality HOCHTIEF was chosen as the general contractor for the project, with Tebodin Romania acting as the project manager. ‘They have done an excellent job of supervising the execution of all works in accordance with the design,’ says Mr. Darryl Roadnight, general project manager for IAC, ‘as well as monitoring compliance with Romanian law and our quality requirements. Tebodin’s presence during all critical moments has been a great help in delivering the speed and quality we needed on this site.’ ‘This project confirms our long-standing relationship with both IAC and HOCHTIEF on investments worldwide’, says Mr. Dan Baloi, Tebodin’s business development manager in Romania. ‘We were very pleased to see our close collaboration result in early completion without compromising on quality. Enabling IAC to enable Ford in Romania Making it possible for clients to build great machines is the nature of an original equipment manufacturer such as International Automotive Components (IAC Group). They in turn have chosen to rely on the services of Tebodin in Romania: together they have set up a new factory for their interior car components and systems.

  • 3. Tebodinalwaysclose Prague’s historical inner city is ever more attractive for tourists, discerning shoppers and property investors alike. On one of the city’s main boulevards, developer LORDSHIP and IMMOFINANZ Group as investors are preserving the impressive façade of a former bank while building office and retail space for the 21st century. The wide boulevard Na Prˇíkopeˇ, running eastward from the famous Wenceslas Square, features some of the most expensive commercial real estate in the Czech capital. The building on the corner with Panská Street, built as a bank at the beginning of the 20th century, is located in the Prague heritage historical center. Building modern office and retail facilities on this prime location was always going to be a challenge which perfectly suits the experienced property developer LORDSHIP. The company has been active in real estate investment and development in Central Europe since 1991, and is taking on this prestigious project together with IMMOFINANZ Group. Top class project The location and the preservation of historical elements are the main aspects of this project. But there’s more. The building will include an automatic parking system for up to 150 cars in the underground floors, which needed to be excavated under the original basement of the building. Moreover, the goal of the project is to develop this location to the highest of international standards and achieve a LEED Gold certification. A tight spot There are many difficulties to overcome, according to Tebodin project manager Mr. Pavel Novotný. ‘At a location like this, the logistics can become really complicated as the access to the site is naturally limited and the working space became very cramped during the excavation works and the construction of the The ride is on for Adventure World Warsaw Value engineering for top Asian vegetable seed East-West Seed International aims to improve the quality of vegetable seed in Asia and therefore will have a new facility in Vietnam to expand its activities. Tebodin has started with a value engineering session of an already existing design of a seed processing plant in Vietnam. Based on the value engineering it was further developed into a detail design, which was locally tendered and for which the construction will start very soon. Value engineering, in other words we will execute engineering specifically to make budgets go the longest way while maximizing functional value. Tebodin’s ability to offer this service was an important factor in winning the contract to complete East-West Seed’s seed processing plant – a project that had already been started and is now on schedule for completion by the end of 2012. The best of Europe and Asia ‘Tebodin had what we were looking for’, says Mr. Joost van Elzakker, project manager for East-West Seed: ‘Extensive knowledge and experience in design, procurement, construction management end, especially value engineering. With them, we have been able to make a fresh start and they are delivering on time and within budget.’ The seed processing plant is being set up to supply quality seed products for the Vietnamese market. Vietnam is one of six countries in Asia where East-West Seed locally operates, its goal always is to bring Western expertise to Asian vegetable cultivation. Since its establishment in 1982 the company has significantly raised the industry standard in Asia, thereby improving the economic situation of farmers by improving Asian vegetable varieties. ‘We are committed to make this project a success,’ says project manager Mr. Nguyen Ngoc Duoc, ‘and we would like to see it become the start of a fruitful business relationship.’ More info: Mr. Ronald de Vries Managing Director Vietnam ronald@tebodin.vn | +84 8 38 21 76 55 Going for LEED Gold in the heart of Prague Adventure World Warsaw is going to be the largest fun park of Central and Eastern Europe. After the last administrative hurdles were taken this spring, construction works are now set to start in earnest. The park is expected to open its doors to the public in the first quarter of 2015. Project development company Las Palm is confident about the market potential for a large-scale theme park in the middle of Poland. The ideal location for the 240-hectare site was found in Grodzisk Mazowiecki, 30 km southwest of Warsaw. The town is at the crossroads of Poland’s major highways and also has good rail links, allowing easy access from other countries. Two million visitors a year Adventure World Warsaw will have indoor facilities open all year round, as well as an open-air section in use from April to November. Apart from the hotels, restaurants, bars, cinemas and shops that will help make it a family destination for more than one day, the park features a dazzling array of spectacular rides and attractions. underground reinforcement structure.’ On the project Tebodin has taken on the roles of technical supervisor and also health & safety coordinator, which is especially important in these conditions. Mr. Novotný: ‘The basement plate is 17,5 meters below street level, while the groundwater reaches to about 11 meters below street level. We had to secure the integrity of the façade at all times while the conveyor belt system for the removal of soil from the massive pit left us almost no space for the temporary site facilities. All went well however, and the project is on schedule to be completed in June 2013.’ More info: Mr. Jaromir Kriz Managing Director Czech Republic and Slovakia j.kriz@tebodin.cz | +420 251 038 342 professionals in charge of the development of this project,’ said Mr. Peter Jan Mulder the Chairman of Las Palm. The park will have five theme islands based on fairy tales and legends. It will create about 1,000 local jobs and the second project stage has already been planned, involving another theme park, an extensive entertainment village, conference center and luxurious wellness center.

  • 4. International support for pharmaceutical campus In April 2011, Tebodin was contacted by Orion Pharma from Bangladesh for the conceptual design of a pharmaceutical campus, housing several factories, each manufacturing a great number of pharmaceutical products. Creation of a Site Master Plan and full compliance with international Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) regulations were essential. The combined vast experience in designing pharmaceutical buildings of Tebodin’s Eindhoven office and Irish partner RKD Architects proved critical for this complex project. Hard to reach places At first sight, the green field project seemed easy enough. However, it turned out to be either a paddy or rice field in the capital city of Dhaka, or a relative dry but remote field in Bhaluka. Furthermore, the project had to be executed in the most densely populated country of the world. The design team had to be transported by helicopter to site visits as normal traffic over a distance of 70 kilometers from Dhaka to Bhaluka would take all day – one way. Varied scope The scope covered over 600 different products and 25 dosing forms, such as tablets, capsules, ampoules, syrups, ointment, and injections. These products and processes were divided over five different factories, including a blood plasma fractionation plant, a sterile manufacturing building and a building for hormones and contraceptives – plus a variety of site utilities. Helicopter view Tebodin and RKD Architects invented a birds-eye view hierarchy starting with the site level, followed by the factories, processes, unit- operations and components. The processes were described in ‘master modules’ and jigsaw- puzzled into the factories. This, in combination with capturing all relevant All vessel movements in the port of Rotterdam are directed from two vessel traffic centers. One of these, in Hoek van Holland on the North Sea coast, is being completely renovated. The port of Rotterdam Authority called on Tebodin for an integrated redesign of the building. Europe’s largest port is an important distribution center for inland European destinations. The Port of Rotterdam has a sizeable petrochemical industry and several oil refineries, and is also a major grain and general cargo harbor. Safe shipping The Port Authority develops and manages all port facilities. It is responsible for safe shipping in the entire port area of over 11,000 hectares. It also monitors all traffic with the help of 85 vessel traffic operators and a high-tech network of 38 radar stations. The system has two vessel traffic centers, one of which was renovated two years ago. The busy port has a great safety record and is determined to keep it, according to Mr. Gerard van Kralingen, design and construction manager for the Port Authority. ‘We are upgrading the technology to ensure safety and efficiency while the port is growing fast. In the next 20 years, a 20 percent increase in vessel movements is expected. Our system can monitor ships constantly, from 60 kilometers off the coast all the way into Rotterdam (40 kilometers).’ World War II bunker ‘The building in Hoek van Holland has an interesting history’, says Tebodin project manager Mr. Duncan Goodall. ‘In order to make use of the best location, the Vessel Traffic Center was constructed on top of one of the World War II bunkers that litter the Dutch North Sea coast. Our main task in redesigning the building to meet current demands was to optimize the logic and efficiency in the way it is used, while maintaining its architectural presence. Since the very beginning in February 2011 our architects have worked on an integrated design with all disciplines represented. There have been a few challenges, but the building will be completed on-schedule in August 2012; with the interior fit-out following in November. Over the last few months we have also been working on another project for the Port Authority; a preliminary design and cost estimate for a new radar tower on Maasvlakte that we hope to be able to develop further in the coming period.’ More info: Mr. Björn Erkens Director Netherlands West b.erkens@tebodin.com | +31 181 65 17 07 Retail center design: Forum Lviv Rebuilding a port Vessel Inter IKEA Centre Group invests in Super Regional Shopping Center in China information in so-called narrative sheets, turned out to be a key element in designing the concept. With the narrative sheets leading, the final review was conducted very efficiently. Contributing to the development of Bangladesh Conceptual design ran from November 2011 to May 2012. Currently, Tebodin and RKD Architects are still negotiating the proposal for basic engineering with Orion Pharma. The project will transform the Bhaluka site into a state-of-the-art pharmaceutical campus meeting the international pharmaceutical GMP regulations. Orion Pharma’s project manager Mr. Tapan Roy said: ‘We are creating history; this project will contribute to the development of Bangladesh.’ More info: Mr. John Horn Office Director Eindhoven j.horn@tebodin.com | +31 40 265 21 74 to ensure the variety of the architectural environment. Architectural solutions include the construction of two large atriums inside the shopping center, forming the main compositional core of the whole complex space. These two areas are joined together by two three-level shopping streets or ‘alleys’, full of natural daylight, creating a functional connection of all trade center premises both vertically and horizontally. City inhabitants, visitors and tourists will all walk along these ‘alleys’, as if they were walking along the streets of old Lviv city with its historical buildings, public institutions, squares and residential areas. Multi Development The new shopping center is a project of Multi Development, a pan- European developer, cooperating with local developer Galereja Centr on this project. The initial conceptual design was done by T+T, the in-house architect of Multi Development. Architectural solutions The design for Forum Lviv considers the peculiarities of Lviv city, which is a combination of architectural styles and mixture of traditions. The interiors and exteriors of the building are contemporary with historical elements, Mr. Tapan Roy, Orion (left) and Mr. Geert Douterlungne,, RKD Architects Mr. Duncan Goodall Tebodin has been appointed as Project Construction Management consultant (PCM) to support Inter IKEA Centre Group China in the execution phase of the first Super Regional Shopping center in Wuxi, Jiangsu Province in China. The Super Regional Shopping Center is planned as an enclosed structure with a total gross leasable area of 150,000 m2 . The total gross building area will be 220,000 m2 . This is a ONE STOP shopping destination with a full range offer including international and domestic fashion retailers, restaurants, cafés and leisure components, anchored by cinema, electronic, hypermarket and IKEA, as a unique destination.
