Which are the major Industries in great Britain?

Besides agriculture, you can imagine that Great Britain were into ship building and they needed energy so they had coal mining efforts and they also needed iron (iron ore extraction) to build tools and hardware.


how Has the use of technology affected peoples work patterns?

today we don't have to do things by hand i.e people use to operate big machines by hand now we can work them by using a computer or even using a computer to write lets say your essay instead of writing it by hand.


Why does honeycomb girder gantry crane have a potential market?

Zhengzhou Huazhong Construction Machinery Co., Ltd. (ZZHZ). Thanks for asking the question about honeycomb girder on Answers, because it is one of our patents. Honeycomb girder developed for gantry crane and bridge girder launcher by our company -----Zhengzhou Huazhong Constrution Machinery Co., Ltd ( short for ZZHZ ), which is a new type of main girder and has been widely used in crane fields. The reason why increasing people are looking for honeycomb girder type cranes because they are unique and reliable.Brief introduction on honeycomb girder gantry crane and bridge girder launcher are as following.1. Why we called it honeycomb girder?The main girder is honeycomb girder.For honeycomb girder, it means many hexagonal holes which looks like honeycombs in the main girder, with which the air current could pass through the hole when the launcher works high above the ground. Then it greatly reduces wind impact on the gantry crane, so it is quite safe.2. What are Advantages of honeycomb girder?a. compared with truss girder, safer!Steel plate welded with steel plate (honeycomb girder) is safer than point to point welding (truss girder). If there is an occasional bad welding, the honeycomb girder will not be affected too much, while if it happens on truss girder crane, the whole girder may lose stability and cause an accident.b. Compared with box girder, safer!When box girder crane works high above the ground, the heavy wind will have a great impact on it and make it unsafe. While the honeycomb girder launching gantry has reasonable design(honeycomb hole) to reduce wind impact. Besides, it has a light self weight and cost lower.3. Featuresa. quite safeb. high wind-resistance, high stiffness and low deflectionc. light self weightd. flexible legse. unique and reliable pin connection, easy installation and disassemblyf. high quality imported electrical elements are used4. LimitationAt present, if material to be lifted is less than 250t, a honeycomb girder can be used.Generally speaking, with its own characteristics, the new style honeycomb type gantry crane and bridge girder launcher from ZZHZ will be the flavor of the market.Please find more information about honeycomb girder on website of Zhengzhou Huazhong Construction Machinery Co.,Ltd.


What is the risk profile of infrastructure projects?

The crucial elements in the financing of infrastructure investment is first assessing the severity of each risk and then identifying the party in the best position to manage a risk. The three broad stages in an infrastructure project with different risk profiles and financing requirements may be identified as follows: Development risk: The initial very high-risk phase where only equity capital can be used for financing. Construction risk: The next high-risk phase where cost and time spillovers tend to distort the future revenue generation and profitability prospects of the project. The construction phase may be financed by a combination of equity and debt with guarantees. Operating risk: This risk emerges due to underestimation of operating costs and occasionally, an overestimation of the output from the proposed infrastructure facility. Since the pricing of infrastructure services is monitored closely by the government, the burden of underestimation of operating costs cannot be passed on entirely to the users. However, the operation phase is considered to be relatively low-risk and may be financed through bond issues. The operation phase may, in turn be divided into the introductory operation phase and project stabilization phase. During the introductory operating phase, the revenue stream is thin and operational bottlenecks hinder achievement of high-capacity utilization. It is only during the project stabilization stage that risks reduce considerably and revenues are more steady and predictable. Besides the above, there are other risks: Demand risk: This is a result of an overestimation of the demand and "willingness to pay" for the proposed infrastructure facility. In several cases, like the toll road network in Mexico, the demand for the facility is high but inadequate willingness to pay on the part of the users has raised serious questions about the future of such projects. Financial risk: Of specific relevance to infrastructure projects are foreign exchange and interest rate risks. Given that infrastructure projects involve costs and revenues in the local currency, the foreign exchange exposure taken for such investments, especially in the nature of off-shore debt, can prove to be risky. The interest rate risk emanates from the dependence on long-term debt for meeting capital costs. Market risk: This is important when consumers can choose alternative services such as with toll roads, railways and even ports. Occasionally, the Government absorbs this risk explicitly or by default. In a Mexico toll road, the Government awarded the concession guaranteeing a minimum amount of traffic. If this could not be achieved, then the concession period would be extended. It is difficult to hedge against market risk. However, when there is a single buyer for the output, the market risk is taken by the purchaser. Political risk: Inadequate clarity in Government policies and selection procedures has made political risk the fulcrum of infrastructure development. With an increase in the clarity in and conviction behind government policies, the extent of political risk is expected to decrease sharply. This risk profile would be the guiding map in designing financing packages for infrastructure investments. Despite these features, projects are rarely staggered or executed in an incremental manner. This is primarily due to the nature of the transaction and negotiation costs involved, which rarely vary with the size of the project. For example, the efforts made by a private sponsor for negotiating a 500 MW power plant would be comparable to the efforts required for a 1,500 MW projects. This adds to the lumpiness of the investments.
