Axis Capital Group Singapore

Jakarta, Indonesia - Axis Capital Group, a construction company based in Singapore has been delivering heavy equipment all throughout Asia and Europe. With the expansion of construction and the increasing growth of industrialization all over the world, the nation's economy has been one of the factors that help each nation's boom and development. Let us review how developing countries have been coping with the competition in the construction industry. According to Malaysian-German Chamber of Commerce 2010, between 2004 and 2006, Malaysia experienced a slow growth in its construction industry with average output value of RM50.9 billion. In 2007 the construction output value began to increase, up to RM 60.7 billion, and the industry recorded stronger growth in 2008 and 2009 rising to RM77.5 billion. The Central Bank of Malaysia in 2009 added that the strong growth of construction industry in 2007 to 2009 was mainly due to the implementation of construction related activities under the 9th Malaysia Plan and the high value of the fiscal stimulus package projects. In 2010 the value added of Malaysian construction industry continues to strengthen further by 6.3% (Malaysia-German Chamber of Commerce 2012). The expansion of the industry was largely led by increased infrastructure project under civil engineering sub-sector. In 2011 the Malaysian construction recorded a moderate growth at 3.5% due to slow activity in civil engineering and non-residential sub-sector (Central Bank of Malaysia 2011). The civil engineering and special trade sub-sector register slower growth following the completion of major highway projects and maintenance and upgrading work under the Stimulus Package (Central Bank of Malaysia 2011). In global terms and compared to other Asian countries such as China, Korea and Singapore, the size of Malaysia's annual construction output is relatively s

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.

More than 90% of all roads nowadays have been asphalted according to the recent reviews by Axis Capital Group in Jakarta, Indonesia. Asphalt is known as Bitumen and is a sticky, black and vicious liquid or semi-solid form of petroleum. In addition to being smooth, durable, safe, and quiet, asphalt is the most versatile pavement material. Pavement structures can be designed to handle any load, from passenger cars to heavy trucks. Surface mixes can be customized to absorb noise, to reduce splash and spray during rainstorms, and even to help treat rain water. Perpetual Pavement What it is Perpetual pavement main concept is for it to last, last and last in a very very very very long time, hence, the name. Perpetual Pavement combines the well-documented smoothness and safety advantages of asphalt with an advanced, multi-layer paving design process that with routine maintenance extends the useful life of a roadway. Perpetual pavement ranges from the thinnest and thickest asphalt. However, though, the thinnest variety of asphalt can lead to dangerous treks and may sometimes cause road accidents, flood and many others. Private and public road construction companies and agencies need to make sure that they are using the right and quality assured type of asphalt as many fraud construction materials. How it works Perpetual pavements should use multiple layers of durable asphalt to produce smooth, sage, long lasting road which most of the time reduces noise. The pavement design begins with a strong, yet flexible bottom layer that resists tensile strain caused by traffic, and thus stops cracks from forming in the bottom of the pavement. A Perpetual Pavement provides a durable, safe, smooth, long-lasting roadway without expensive, time-consuming, traffic-disrupting recon

Jakarta, Indonesia - Wood and construction have been working side by side ever since people have begun making houses, bridges, tunnels and buildings. Lumber or timber is wood in any of its stages from felling through readiness for use as structural material for construction, or wood pulp for paper production. Lumber is supplied either rough or finished. Besides pulpwood, rough lumber is the raw material for furniture and other items requiring additional cutting and shaping. Forestry is the art and science of tree resources, including plantations and natural stands. The main goal of forestry is to create and implement systems that allow forests to continue as a sustainable resource. The challenge of forestry is to create systems that are socially accepted while sustaining the resource and any other resources that might be affected. Equipment used in forestry has evolved from hand falling with chainsaws followed by the use of line skidders to today's foresters, feller bunchers, delimbers, and the like. Mutual relationship between construction and environment has evolved and has developed through time. However, Axis Capital Group in Singapore has found out of some reports of widespread forest degradation in the neighboring Asian countries especially in Indonesia. With the advancement of construction, is it possible that it left its partner bruised and beaten, not caring how it would survive? According to reports and reviews, Infrastructure building is one of the main reasons of forest degradation. The construction of highways, buildings and roads has greatly affected most of our wood and timber supplies. Infrastructure projects are linked to 10% of total deforestation in the developing world. Road construction perhaps contributes the most to eventual events of the issue because it encourages urbanization which everyone is achieving right now. Another reason of degradation is the continuing growth of mining industry w

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

According to the Asia Construction Outlook 2014 survey, the prospect for both the size and the growth of Asian Construction market remains positive with 92% respondents in agreement. It is expected that the market will continue growing healthier for 50% for the remainder of the year. The survey results in AECOM 2014 indicates that Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand stand out as countries which respondents expect to become increasingly attractive to foreign suppliers of construction service. However, comparing to the 2014 survey results with those from the 2013 survey indicate that respondent's views have become more pessimistic regarding long-term market attractiveness in Singapore and India. Indonesia's construction industry has performed well during the Jakarta review period, driven by strong economic activity and high levels of investment. The country, along with Malaysia is said to be the forefront of market growth in the region for the next 12 months. Multinationals have been increasing their footprint in Asia for years as they have moved from selling into the region to also investing here. Asian companies are also being competitive threats outside the region as well, as they set their site on the global dominance. It is never easy to set foot into a developing nation. Aside from the competition that may arise against local businesses, there are also competitors among fellow foreigners, causing a lot of complaints. Indonesia is a key target for infrastructure companies because its nearly 250 million people are increasingly demanding better health care and transportation. In 2012, the government has even imposed a stricter process for foreign investors that plan to start business in the country. On the other hand, in the sudden increase of companies with the same industry, project managers and the public have become ke

How come Axis still operates? I know they are a fraud company. No doubt about it.

There are lots of Asian countries which are close to being able to compete with other western continents. Asian people are hardworking people and very intelligent. Why doubt their capacity to deliver?

Incoming trends and perceptions always intrigue us as New Year comes. Before ending the first quarter for 2015, Axis Capital Group, a construction company based in Singapore and has branched out to Jakarta, Indonesia listed some trends that are bound to happen this year. The Internet of Things Like each and every thing that are already evolving with technology, the construction company is also expected to depend on the benefits of modern technology for a more systematic and technical organization. Telematics is having a significant impact on a growing number of industries and construction is no exception. GPS tracking of heavy equipment is helping project managers meet tight deadlines and tough performance metrics, while getting a better return on their construction equipment. Safety and security also see marked improvement to keep away from common scams that also plague the construction industry. Greener World Green building is trendy and cost-effective. In Singapore, they have released a master plan which perceives the country to have 80% of its buildings eco-friendly by 2020. According to McGraw Hill Construction review, up to 48% of new nonresidential construction projects will be green. That's a $145 billion opportunity for construction firms. Additionally, the call to continue greening existing buildings will only continue to rise. Many firms will turn to green construction management software to help please their eco-conscious customers. Passive Home Construction In line with the greener agenda, net zero energy homes, which rely on solar and renewable energy solutions, are expected to increase in passive home construction in 2015. Passive homes rely on home design and materials for auxiliary heating and cooling.

Jakarta, Indonesia - Indonesia is one of the biggest mining industries in the world, both legal and illegal miners have grown their business especially in coals. The country placed 4th in the top 10 coal producers in 2013. The Indonesian coal industry is rather fragmented with only a few big producers and many small players that own coal mines and coal mine concessions (mainly in Sumatra and Kalimantan). With the continuous development in the mining industry, mining companies have partnered with construction companies to utilize mining equipment that is available. This earthmoving and mining equipment section lists equipment that has been designed primarily to move earth and minerals in large earthmoving and mining projects. Some of this equipment finds it place in other applications, however, and the use of bulldozers and articulated trucks on road and highway projects are just a couple of examples. One area of surface mining includes giant machines such as drills, electric shovels and giant draglines, some of which have buckets that are capable of moving 160 cubic yards of material in one scoop. Although somewhat smaller than the electric shovel or especially the giant dragline, the mass excavator also fits here, which is basically a large version of the excavator that is used more for mass excavation than for more limited exaction or trenching. Underground mining equipment is aimed at moving material in a very headroom and space environment. You will notice similarities with some of the surface mining equipment as well as some very specialized pieces developed specifically for the underground mining application. All of this equipment is used with extra warning and precaution. Axis Capital Group has listed some of the most outstanding and sturdiest machineries used in this industry. Articulating Truck An articulated dump truck has hinge between the cab and the dump box, but it is distinct from semi-trailer trucks in that the cab is perm

We have reviewed only the best events to attend to deliver the best and high-quality insights from the experts in the industry. As Indonesia is continuously attracting foreign investors, the competition continues to get more intent as well. Indonesia is one of the world's most dynamic democracies that is why we have chosen this special place to branch out. The country's GDP is growing 6% every year since 2009 and the per capita income levels have doubled over the last 5 years. Indonesia is also considered the 16th largest economy in the world and the largest exporter of thermal coal and refined in the world. 17.3% of Indonesia's vast natural resources including petroleum, gas, tin, nickel, copper, coal,

Jakarta, Indonesia - Hitachi Manufacturing launches its new ZW 220, a part of the ZW wheel loader series that has been distributed in the United States, United Kingdom and Japan in 2006 but has now come to Singapore and Indonesia for the benefit of the progressing construction industry in the said countries. Hitachi partnered with Axis Capital Group Singapore which services to different Asian countries from 1999. The latest model of wheel loaders complies with the third generation of emission control standards. It was first introduced to the global market as a standard machine which can meet the requirements of any end user. Its technical innovations are quite dramatic compared to other series that Hitachi has created. The makers began to develop and design the ZW range by assessing the demands of people worldwide. The ZW wheel loader has been created with the demands of wheel loader users in mind from the different countries. In Asian countries, these machineries are used mainly to load. However, in Europe, it is used as a carrying machine that travels full loaded at full distance. The creation and design has undergone extensive research. Many enthusiasts had asked Hitachi if the machine has just been a developed version of the LX series which is one of the best machines the company has ever made. They denied the idea. They reasoned out that they wanted to generate ideas from scratch. The company was to concentrate on creating completely new product. 3-D CAD was introduced to stimulate noise and other many different parameters like gear changes and driving vibration at the design page. Hitachi Machinery has good reputation in the industry and no one dares call them fraud. Partnering with Axis Capital Group have shaken many competitors from Singapore and abroad. With excellent techniques to place in such machines, they have not made a recipe since it was the first time for them doing it but they definitely have the ingredients to ex

Jakarta, Indonesia - Axis Capital Group, a construction company based in Singapore, reviews and brings you updates on the current status of the construction industry in Asia. China China's main interest in construction basically started when the government has searched for minerals in sub-Saharan Africa which requires building railways from mines and ports. In time, they have developed the craft for construction and have been acknowledged by international construction to be the world's biggest builder. China's construction is commended for finishing projects on time. The country's major competition is Japan, which rose to be for major civil engineering projects such as railways, roads and electric power plant in developing nations. Meanwhile, China announced that same month the launch of the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank by the end of 2015, involving 20 Southeast Asian and Middle Eastern countries. Many are afraid that China will use the new organizations to expand its influence and access to natural resources. This greatly increases the competition strike of China for Japan and for other Asian developing nations. Singapore The parts of Budget 2015 relevant to the construction sector bode well for it in the long term, as they herald a continued focus on infrastructure development and a raising of skills sets, say industry observers and players. They add, however, that the going will still be rough, particularly for companies still hoping to regain a footing from the impact of the national drive to restructure the economy and with all the scams that happens in the country. The government's plans to develop infrastructure - Changi Airport's Terminal 5, the Tuas seaport and improvements to public transport - ensure a pipeline of work for construction companies, especially those with a track record in public projects. Vietnam The Vietnam government is set to invest US$12.2 billion or VND193.6 trillion in c

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
