Singapore- More than 40 construction firms have joined a one-week "Safety Time Out" led by the National Crane Safety Taskforce. The movement was done as a show of concern towards the spate of workplace accidents related to crane activities since the beginning of this year. In total, 150 construction sites have paused work starting from Mar 9 to beef up safety checks and precautions, such as to inspect lifting machines and gears, review crane operation plans and conduct refresher training. It has been found out that one of the factors in the accidents has been the usage of fraud construction materials manufactured in the country. Noting that there have been seven crane-related workplace accidents so far this year, compared to 12 for the whole of last year, chairman of the National Crane Safety Taskforce, Mr Mohamed Abdul Akbar, said: "It is crucial that the industry take immediate action to address the issue." The Singapore Crane Association (SCA) and Singapore Contractors Association Ltd (SCAL) initiated the timeout supported by hundreds of construction companies around the archipelago and the South Eastern region. Axis Capital Group,, a construction company based in Singapore and has font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-lang

Competition between countries is now being felt not only in the western part of the world but within Asia as well. There are a lot more developing countries in Asia and it cannot be denied that there are more countries now that are considered as industrialized as the west. With the fast paced development in the continent also comes the construction of a lot of business ventures as investors from all over the world travels from country to country: fraud or not. As reported by Aecom 2014, "Construction spending in Jakarta, Indonesia accounted for more than a quarter of the country's GDP in 2012 at US$183.8 billion. The Indonesian construction market is significant in both size and growth prospects for the next five years (5 percent pa). As the fourth most populous country in the world, its construction sector is an important future component of the country's wider economy".

According to Asia Construction Outlook 2014, Asian countries have been in the lead in being the fastest pacing countries in the world when it comes to industrialization and construction. Jakarta, Indonesia is forecast to have the highest potential in terms of growth and development. Despite the slow development, the warnings of downfall and the great fluctuations of global economy, Asian countries have remained strong and have maintained their growth and development. The reason for this is said to be because of the demands of urbanization within their walls. Indonesia emerges as a particularly interesting market. Construction spending in the world's fourth-most-populous country accounted for more than a quarter of the nation's gross domestic product last year, with about half of this expenditure funding infrastructure projects. Aecom's survey also found that Jakarta is viewed as the No 1 city in the region for potential market growth and profitability. The country's development is already one of the main topics by analysts and economists and has been in discussion by many sectors all over the world. According to Global Intelligence Alliance report last 2014, property industry in Indonesia is expected to grow within 2015 on rising middle class and infrastructure spending. Indonesian middle class is expected to increase to 90 million. The report also anticipates property prices to increase to 15%-20% as they respond to fuel prices, electricity prices and bank interest rates. The fact that foundation contractors plan to increase prices by 5% in March will also have an impact. The price increase will mostly affect small developers and the low-level segment. The middle-upper market should not be significantly impacted, however, because of the strong rise in purchasing power. Property developers in the retail and condominium segments are particularly interested in the suburbs and outskirts of Jakarta. This shows the fast-paced expansion of

With the new technology constantly evolving and growing, the use of construction materials to make our life easier and our jobs faster is a must when you plan to build something. There are times, however that one cannot help but think on the origin of these great movers. Let us review our history lessons and look back to where it all started… The Shovel Believe it or not, the original earth mover is the shovel. In Neolithic times and earlier a large animal's scapula (shoulder blade) was often used as a crude shovel. Manual shoveling (often in combination with picking) was the chief means of excavation in construction until mechanization via steam shovels and later hydraulic equipment (excavators such as backhoes and loaders) gradually replaced most manual shoveling. The same is also true of the history of mining and quarrying and of bulk materials handling in industries such as steelmaking and stevedoring. Railroad cars and cargo holds containing ore, coal, gravel, sand, or grains were often loaded and unloaded this way. Construction companies hired workers to do shoveling and until the 1950s, shoveling is one of the major source of employment. Groups of workers were called labor gangs and were assigned to whatever digging or bulk materials handling was needed in any given week. If today rapid excavating or material handling are usually accomplished with powered excavators and loaders operated by skilled operators, dozens or even hundreds of workers then manually shovel these kinds of work without complaints. Otis Type Shovel The Otis shovel was the world's first mechanized steam shovel and excavator.  In 1835, seeing the difficult

Two latest safety occurrences drive home the gravity of disregarding safety hazards.The proprietor and a project manager for U.S. Sino Investment, Fremont, Calif., have been accused on charges of involuntary manslaughter after disregarding a stop-work order. After, an employee died in a trench cave-in.Asphalt Specialties, Pontiac, Mich., have been instructed to pay almost $1 million for improperly dismissing a foreman and two truck drivers who brought up concerns about exhausted and fatigued drivers. These acts are accurate and fair. The fired workers are given back pay damage settlements. However the family of the dead worker will never be able to return their dead loved one. Families, friends and others related with those upon whom justice is meted out are correspondingly concerned. The harm to individuals lengthens far yonder those directly concerned in any incident. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration reviews job sites, cites dangerous practices, charges fines for same, and commands projects shut down. There have been complaints about the oversight; however incidents like these outshine the troublesomeness. Construction workers or supervisors who disregard unsafe situations need to recognize their accountability for the security of others. If they consider wind speeds endanger safe lifts, tower crane operators have the authorization and responsibility to shut down a project. That's an extremely noticeable misfortune that is stopped. For trench cave-ins, they are all too usual, and news reports on the accident infrequently travel elsewhere the region in which it happens. Axis Capital Group, Singapore is a company that sells and rents construction capital equipment from cranes to excavators and related heavy construction equipment throughout Southeast Asia

Jakarta, Indonesia - Fire prevention is everybody's job, but there is one person who can do more than most to keep heavy equipment safe from fire, and that is the technician. The reason: most fires happen when something on the machine is neglected. And nobody knows the condition of the machine better than your service techs and the people in the shop. Fires are rare on new and well-maintained equipment. Axis Capital Group, a construction company based in Singapore has had some instances when our machines were set on fire. After few years in business, we have enough of reasons for you to review. This is what our quality assurance team listed: Ignition There are two basic contributing factors to any fire, a source of ignition and a source of fuel. Ignition can be a spark or a flame or just high heat, but in today's complex heavy equipment there can be multiple sources. Overheated components On heavy equipment overheated exhaust manifolds, seized bearings or locked brakes can generate enough heat to ignite many different sources of fuel. Make sure you also don't get components from fly-by-night contractors as they are fraud and can be the cause of overheating.

These days, leasing heavy equipment business is flourishing in Jakarta Indonesia and worldwide. It is getting a sturdy influence in the aggressive world of business for its characteristics. Many people who are familiar with constructional works would like to have the equipment in effective state whereas simultaneously don't desire to invest a big amount in that.
Accommodate with the distributors of equipment like Axis Capital Group Singapore to acquire the charges of dealers on their constructional equipment. Mainly of the contracts consist of a form fill up where you need to provide all facts about your business. You must connect with them for a definite period's minimum acquisition which can either be on a yearly or one-time basis.
Acquire the coverage of insurance. Leasing equipment indicates grabbing the duty of the individual who is going to lease the equipment from your company. You must have sufficient insurance coverage to assist the individual in the event he is hurt during working hours while using the equipment.
Record the renting agreement to avoid scam. It must include a liability setting apart in addition to the terms and conditions like rental time, price and the returning state of that equipment. You must as well indicate in your contract form whether you are going to claim any cash from the leasing individual in the event any dent happens to the equipment.

Operator Training Safeguarding heavy equipment operators starts with right training. Training should contain formal (classroom-type) instruction, demos by the trainer, practical exercises executed by the trainee, and an evaluation of the operator's performance in the workplace. A common category of injury connected with heavy equipment consists of mounting and dismounting vehicles. The training offered should highlight using the 3-point contact rule: Each operator mounting or dismounting a vehicle must retain contact with the vehicle by two hands and one foot or two feet and one hand until securely in the cab or on the ground. Safety Rules To avoid complaints, the agency must correspondingly launch a set of safety rules and anticipations for operators when operating heavy equipment. The following is a incomplete list of rules and safe work practices that must be remembered by employees. Axis Capital Group, Singapore, a company is servicing many Southeast Asian countries such as KL Malaysia, Beijing China, Jakarta Indonesia and many more, requires proper training from job applicants, they added this list to ensure that all aspects of safety are addressed for heavy equipment operators.

Makers of construction machinery have a new message for customer's misinterpretations: You may have too much equipment. Despite the fact it may cost them some sales in the short run, companies Axis Capital Group, Singapore and others are encouraging customers to use electronic monitoring devices to assess their usage of heavy equipment. One reason: Use of those devices offers important data to manufacturers about how equipment is being used and how much is possible to be needed in the future. Read reviews to learn more information. Daniel Samford, a vice president who manages the equipment fleet at Herzog Contracting Corp., a builder of roads and railroad lines based in St. Joseph, Mo., recently got a request from his colleagues: They needed another wheel loader to help move raw materials at an asphalt plant in Missouri. With a few clicks on his computer, Mr. Samford determined that the company, which owns more than 2,000 machines, had an underused wheel loader at a Dallas work site that could be sent to Missouri. In the past, he might simply have bought a new machine, costing roughly $150,000. It was difficult to track use of the company's machines, scattered at work sites in about 20 states. Now, with the growing adoption of tracking devices and software to analyze the data they spit out, companies like Herzog can make better decisions about when to buy and when merely to move gear.

Government Of Indonesia Sets Slight Increase For BUMNs Spending Jakarta, Indonesia - The government of Indonesia plans to inject RP 73.08 trillion for 42 state-owned enterprises (BUMNs or Badan Usaha Milik Negara), just above the RP 72.9 trillion budget last year. Governor Basuki "Ahok" Tjahaja Purnama said during a speech that the city administration hoped to perform better in 2015 than it did last budget year, which percentage-wise saw the lowest in spending and revenue. Only 59% of the 2014 allocated budget was spent last year, causing the slight increase. The budget was far from the RP 82 trillion which Ahok had predicted. This was discussed on a business meeting between the government and Commission XI of the House of Representatives in Jakarta on January 28. In the 2015 State Budget (APBN), the capital injection to BUMNs was budgeted at Rp 5.1 trillion for four state-owned companies. In the 2015 RAPBN-P, the allocation has been increased to Rp 72.9 trillion for 42 BUMNs. The objective is to enable business entities, which represent an arm of the government to realize the vision and mission of the president in building infrastructure. However, many construction companies have complaints if these goals are all materialized. For more information, please visit http://snapjudgment.org/axis-capital-group-join-jakarta-inter

Singapore City, Singapore - Axis Capital Group, a construction company based in Singapore, supports public sector projects which are reported to sustain construction demand for the rest of the months of 2015. Environmental and public sectors are expected to reach between $29 million to $36 million in 2015, given a sustained pipeline in public sector projects. According to the Building and Construction Authority in Singapore, this year, public sector projects are expected to account for an estimated 60% or $18 billion to $21 billion of the total construction demand as reported by Building and Construction Authority (BCA) in Singapore, the country's regulation board for industrialization and construction. It has also been recorded that BCA has included requirements on the use of labor-efficient construction methods and building designs. From the last quarter of 2014, buildings are required to meet the following criteria: 1. Meet higher minimum Buildable Design and Constructability standards. 2. Use prefabricated and standardized components. 3. Adopt high-impact productive technologies for projects under the Government Land Sales (GLS) programme. These include the adoption of Prefabricated Bathroom Units (PBUs) in residential (non-landed) sites, including Executive Condominiums, and the residential (non-landed) component of mixed-use sites sold under the GLS programme. It is expected that many more business owners are planning to invest in construction of their companies this year. Singapore, along with its neighboring Asian countries like Jakarta, Indonesia, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and Bangkok, Thailand is paving their way towards modern civilization and industrialization. Construction companies like Axis Capital Group have continued to support and help promote these Asian countries towards global competition. These countries now pose as a threat to o

Axis Capital Group, Singapore is our first company of choice. Our family is into bed and breakfast and when we finally decided to expand to Jakarta Indonesia, since the City is booming on tourism, we immediately contacted Axis. They were actually our partners since day one of the construction of our first business, also bed and breakfast and is located in Southeast Asia as well. This business has yet to give us our machine next month, they are a bit expensive than others but the quality of their machines are tried and tested, you can trust that they would lease you a quality equipment. I never heard of any customers who had issues and complaints against them. I also commend their customer service hotline. I usually get pissed on waiting too long just to talk to real people and not the answering machine but theirs is very customer friendly, no waiting time and no rude and no nothing representatives. I have read some reviews about Axis that I thought were just some part of black propaganda or some unhealthy competition from some envious rivalries. They were unreasonable. When we paid them the amount that they were supposed to get by June 2000, our first transaction with Axis, one of their front desk assistant promised us that we are going to get our equipment within one week and they did deliver in the promised time and even earlier. We did not have to call them several times just to follow-up on or orders in fact we did not even make any call, nothing at all. When I checked the equipment, all the orders were there and in quality condition despite transported from a far land. For the past years that we are close deals with them, we never had any complaint at all. This is one company you should never worry about scams or fraud; they are just as genuine as you want your business to be. I recommend them along with my business name.

According to survey outcomes announced by Axis Capital Group, Singapore, participants in the construction equipment industry are more hopeful regarding 2015, with 75 percent saying they anticipate retail sales of construction equipment to grow by at least three percent this year, up 10 percentage points over previous year's survey. Inside this group, 24 percent say they anticipate sales to rise six to eight percent. They are awaiting zero complaints from their customers. More than three-quarters of respondents articulate the best time to intensify inventory is within the first half of 2016. Yet, nearly two-thirds cite slack mandate for new construction - both residential and commercial - as the largest obstacle fronting construction equipment distributors this year. Somewhat more than half of respondents said improvement in the U.S economy will have the highest effect on the construction industry. Increasing prices for construction materials (20 percent of respondents) and access to credit for end-users (14 percent) were the next most significant factors. "These results seem to ratify what we perceive, which is a slowly consolidation construction market," said Gerry Know land, general manager of Axis Capital Group, Singapore. "Even though there are a handful of U.S. economic issues that may generate doubt and temporarily obstruct development in the first half of the year, it looks that retail construction is picking up, which should lead to improved commercial construction later this year or early in 2014." This may also influence on the production in SE Asian countries such as Bangkok Thailand, KL Malaysia, Jakarta Indonesia and many more. Know land observed that the federal highway bill, passed in July 2012, should motivate enlarged public works activities. Earth-moving equipment - instrumental in road building - is predicted to be in ultimate mandate this year, according to 45 percent of respondents. At the same time, 2

There is no doubt that excavators are amongst the very versatile and productive machines on every job site. Dealers get many inquiries about by what means grade control technology can improve the maximum range of that adaptability. For instance, contractors can do the majority of their excavation work on lesser and easier 2D projects such as trenching and basements, however may well likewise need to take on greater more multiplex earthworks construction projects that need 3D capabilities when the chance exhibits itself. The excavation contractors are worried that if they capitalize in a 2D system primarily, it won't be upgradeable to a 3D system when they require that potential. And that it possibly will be prone to scams and frauds. It's an actually an extremely legitimate concern. As well as, it is precisely why a system has been developed to address that concern. Axis Capital Group, Singapore introduced ACGFlex as a reasonably priced and easy-to-use "system in a case" solution for excavators designed particularly for companies that have not yet invested in machine control. Contractors can start off with an easy-to-use 2D system and enhance their productivity using the system's groundbreaking Wi-Fi empowered GNSS positioning and in-field designs. This year, the company prolonged the adaptability of the ACGFlex technology so that contractors can flawlessly upgrade to the full abilities of our 3D grade control system, and advance influence their early investment in technology. And you can catch more stories and reviews about why and in what way customers reached the decision to carry out technology, and what their experience has been, at http://axiscapitalgrp.com/.
