material mostly from E-glass and carbon fabrics. The material is currently used in the manufacture of chemical-resistant parts, medical equipment, sporting goods, Simprex M850 / Carbon 3K 200 gsm. and protection equipment. It will shortly enter other composite markets, including automotive and marine. For composite piping systems in offshore sites, the joining technique is a critical technology. GCM recently developed a unique VE prepreg pipe-joining process, a simple joining approach that uses heat-activated prepregs. The company has also developed M960, a vinyl ester prepreg system for motorcycle crash helmets. In April 2008, GCM and The Armour Factory (Malaysia) signed a letter of intent to jointly develop the use of Simprex VE prepregs for the encapsulation of ceramic hard armour and ballistic helmet applications. Thanks to all these new projects in potential-filled markets, Gulf Composite Materials should have a bright future in the rapidly developing Middle-East. More information: www.gulfcomposite.com World's first integrated wind turbines inaugurated in Bahrain The Bahrain World Trade Center (BWTC) made history on April 07, 2008 as its pioneering wind turbines turned together for the first time. The three 29 m-diameter turbine blades - made of steel and glass fibre - on Bahrain’s iconic landmark are the world’s first to be integrated into a commercial development, and are expected to provide the equivalent of 11-15% of the power for the two towers when fully operational. The successful installation of the turbines involved collaboration between Atkins Architects and Engineers, and Norwin turbine specialists. The use of established technologies, including type-tested turbines with minimal modifications, ensured that the additional cost incurred by incorporating turbines into the project was reduced to around 3.5% of the overall project value, making it not only an environmentally responsible but also a financially viable venture. The elliptical shaped towers act as aerofoils, funnelling and accelerating the wind velocity between them, and exploiting the unobstructed prevailing onshore breeze from the adjacent Gulf coast to provide a renewable source of energy for the building. The incorporation of large-scale turbines onto a building is a world first. During the proceeding months, the turbines will therefore undergo detailed analysis and optimization by Norwin to determine their actual electricity generation potential. The turbines are expected to operate approximately 50% of the time. The project has also been the recipient of international acclaim for its commitment to sustainable development, being awarded LEAF Awards 2006 for ‘Best Use of Technology within a Large Scheme’ and recently the Arab Construction World ‘Sustainable Design Award’. These accolades recognise the achievements of developments whose raison d'être is environmental protection and improvement. They also provide public recognition for the individuals and companies who have attained the highest standards within the design and construction industry. www.bahrainwtc.com No44 October 2008 / Special JEC Composites Asia 51
