Key developments and project breakthroughs in the Middle East's oil and gas sector is the subject of the latest CW Viewpoint podcast. While the GCC continues efforts to diversify its energy sources, the region's oil and gas sector remains critically importance – particularly for countries such as Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Kuwait, and Oman. Co-hosts Jack Ball and Ashley Williams, Construction Week's senior reporter and features writer respectively, run through just some of the major contract wins in this space over the past few weeks. They include US contractor McDermott’s multi-billion dollar contract win from Saudi state-owned energy giant Saudi Aramco. South Korea-headquartered Hyundai Engineering and Construction’s (E&C) Aracmo-related wins are also touched upon, with Italy contractor Saipem also entering conversation too.

The president and chief executive officer of China State Construction and Engineering Corporation Middle East (CSCEC ME), Yu Tao, features in this latest episode of the Construction Week Viewpoint podcast. Bulletin host Jack Ball, senior reporter at Construction Week, recaps on his recent one-on-one interview with the Chinese contractor’s regional chief. During the lengthy chat, Tao outlines the group’s current project portfolio and backlog, its approach to novel construction methods, and whether a foray into Saudi Arabia is soon to be on the cards. “As a good friend and partner of China, Saudi Arabia makes a series of positive policies to attract Chinese companies,” he explains. “Regardless of the type of project, quantity, [or] contract amount, [Saudi] is considered as the next target market we want to work in. In recent months, [the kingdom] has officially been elevated to an emerging market, which gives us more opportunities to enter the [Saudi] market.”

US consultancy Parsons has been in the Middle East and Africa (MEA) for well over forty years and is working on many of the region’s most high-profile projects – including Riyadh Metro and the King Abdullah Financial District, both of which are in Saudi Arabia. In this latest episode of the Construction Week Viewpoint podcast, host Jack Ball, senior reporter at Construction Week, recaps on his recent one-on-one interview with Gary Adams, president of Parsons MEA. The US consultancy’s regional chief outlines some of the firm’s latest tech priorities, noting too some of the key challenges he sees for the group as it continues to ramp up capabilities across MEA, notably in Saudi Arabia. “We see a lot of growth in Saudi right now, particularly in the programme management space,” Adams explained. “We’ve had double-digit growth in Saudi Arabia for the last couple of years. Other topics include the fight to source top talent and the ongoing drive to secure healthy cash flows.

As one of the UAE’s largest contracting firms, ALEC is one that is eyeing – and taking advantage of – all manner of innovations in the region’s building sector. In this latest episode of the Construction Week Viewpoint podcast, special guests Hercu Viljoen, managing director for related businesses at ALEC, and Imad Itani, ALEC’s innovation manager, sit down with host Jack Ball, senior reporter at Construction Week. Together they break down why ALEC is doubling down on advanced construction technologies and novel building methods when approaching its projects. “Innovation is a survival thing – if we don’t innovate or adjust what we do today, we will be extinct tomorrow," said Viljoen, noting that the contractor would look to hire employees in the future that can dabble in a variety of skills. “You need a civil engineer with data analytics skills, for example,” Viljoen explained. "There might be robots doing the work and you have to analyse how to do it better. That’s where we are going, and that’s very exciting. The industry is going to be transformed in the next five years.” Other topics include the construction industry’s approach to next-gen technologies more generally, and why having a workforce of multi-taskers is key for the firm moving ahead.

The oil and gas sector has seen some drastic changes in the past year, with engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contractors following suit to cater to an ever-changing industry. As the region’s national oil companies have moved to integrate vertically and boost their downstream portfolios, so, too have EPC contractors. In this latest episode of the Construction Week Viewpoint podcast, special guest Carla Sertin, editor of Oil and Gas Middle East, sits down with host Jack Ball, senior reporter at Construction Week. Together they run through the 2019 iteration of Carla’s Top 30 EPC Contractors 2019 list, touching on the opportunities, challenges, and major moves for EPC contractors such as McDermott – a big jumper in this year’s list – and Larsen and Toubro (L&T) as we near the 2019 halfway mark.

In this latest episode of the Construction Week Viewpoint podcast, Al Shouli sits down with Jack Ball, CW’s senior reporter, to break down where the contracting finance market stands currently and what contractors can do to improve their standing in the eyes of lenders such as Mashreq.

The past twelve months have bore witness to a string of high profile project announcements from Saudi Arabia – from news in January 2019 that construction will start on entertainment megaproject Qiddiya later this year to the $500bn Neom gigaproject, where work was scheduled to start in Q1 of this year. Increasing home ownership in the kingdom is also one of the 12 so-called vision realisation programmes – or VRPs – underpinning Saudi’s Vision 2030 plan to reduce oil dependency.

Oman's construction sector is contending with a host of macroeconomic issues — from payment delays and price wars to consolidation and aggressive business practices — but is there light at the end of the tunnel? As of March 2019, the country's pipeline of projects was worth $259.6bn — with infrastructure schemes worth more than oil and gas projects that have historically been the growth driver of the economy. In this episode of Construction Week Viewpoint, Oscar Rousseau and Jack Ball, CW's deputy editor and senior reporter respectively, ask one question: can contractors overcome the acute liquidity crisis and turn the tide on payment delays and challenging economic conditions?

Listen to this nine-minute podcast episode as Oscar Rousseau, deputy editor, and Jack Ball, senior reporter, discuss why the milestones matter.

In this latest podcast episode from Construction Week, the editorial team explore what precast construction could look like in 2019. Indeed, with population growth and affordable housing continuing to be key considerations for many states across the GCC, an increasing number of residential architects, builders, and homeowners are increasingly aware of the benefits of precast construction. While it may not be the be-all, end-all answer for all construction needs, precast concrete does have some major advantages, offering more control over construction schedules for example; easier installation; cost effectiveness; durability; and of course sustainability – to name a few. Saudi Arabia, which faces an affordable home shortage, is already making headway into the world of precast housing. At the end of 2018 a precast house was built in two days as the desert kingdom ramps up efforts to accelerate innovation and increase home-ownership. Listen to the full podcast as both Jack Ball and Neha Bhatia, senior reporter and editor at Construction Week, run through whether this could really be the ‘year of precast’.
