Turnkey Projects We build and strengthen small-scale industries in developing countries by partenering with local business owners to create wealth and jobs so as to improve people's living conditions.
1) Small Hydroelectric Power Plant
The objective of this project is to build small hydroelectrical plants of 25kw, 150kw, 1000kw and a distribution network to supply power to business and household. The plants consist of a dam, penstocks, and a single-phase generator. 2) Easyhouse for developing countries The system easyhouse is very interesting, it allows to reduce the time of the construction, date of delivery, the expenses, and above all respecting scrupulously the rules. It is expected that the construction of the modular will be made in the country of the destination using as far as possible local material of the country. There is the possibility to modify the structure and the dimensions of those modular houses to adapt them from different types of construction: social houses, medium class houses, luxious’s houses, schools, offices, hotels, warehouses, and factories. The development and financing of this project are based on four following pillars: - A person or company that has the land, at least one-third from the total cost of the construction, and with financial capacity to repay. - A pool of investors available to finance the property. - A legal mortgage contract is signed to guarantee the investors the complete repayment of the property, and at the same time without depriving the buyers the rights to recuperate the property if their financial situation allow them to keep on paying the instalments that they have owed. - Specialized Marketing and Logistics, S.L. will carry out the construction of the property. 3) Concrete plant Concrete is one of the most versatile construction materials and the most frequently used to build bridge, channels, docks and buildings. Materials used to make concrete (water, sand, gravel and cement) are relatively cheap and easy to get. Therefore the establishment of a concrete plant in any country where concrete is used as construction material is a good investment. Concrete plays an important role in the quality of any construction, thus in its elaboration all specifications required must be respected, if not consequences can be very bad. However it isn’t easy to calculate correctly proportions of concrete’s components because those proportions are different depending on the structure and the country. A wrong calculated concrete or if it has a deficient component, it can’t be improved later, therefore components must be adequate and chosen according to the required concrete. Consequently computers have become an essential tool in modern concrete plants. Computers not only make exact calculations to give every component’s quantity but also control the automatic machine which makes the mixture to assure a high quality and a solid product. Sand, gravel and cement are transported by road or sea and stored temporally in silos. They are transported from the silos to a hopper by a conveyor belt. Each hopper has a balance which determines material’s weight going into, when there’s enough material inside computers stop sending more. Then materials are transported to the mixing machine where they are mixed with the right quantity of water to get a homogeneous concrete which is put on mixing trucks to be delivered at the construction site. Other important components in a concrete plant are the laboratory where concrete quality is supervised and recycling installations where remainders can be reused. 4) Workshop for concrete’s steel reinforcement Concrete withstands very well compression stresses and very bad tension ones, for that reason it isn’t a good material to use in structures which have to resist bending and tension stresses. However concrete’s bending and tension resistance can be upgraded by embedding steel rods to make reinforced concrete in structures where tension will develop (slabs, bridges or beams). Therefore it’s important to set up a workshop where steel rods can be bent, tied or welded. 5) Geotechnical and quality control laboratory There are lots of building construction that suffer cracks, not because they have been built or calculated bad, but because the depth of foundations or the settling level are not correct. Among the causes which produce cracks in the constructions there are mistakes of resistance, variable compressibility zones or heterogeneity in the form of the soil. This is a big problem that can have catastrophic consequences. Therefore, it is indispensable to carry out a study of the soil, prior the calculation of the building’s foundations. Within the study of the soil the following phases have to be point out: - Examination of the soil - Chartographic examinations - Geophysical prospection - Soil samples - Test on-site - Test on the laboratory The function of an expert in geology consist on planification and execution studies on-site and in the laboratory where buildings are going to be built in order to evaluate the caracteristics of each zone and to bear at the design of the foundation. The geologist’s job is applied also to the reinforcement of the crack buildings from concequences of the soil’s movements or other problems. The expert must identify the cause of the problem and propose technics for the construction stabilization. A good laboratory of geology has to be planned all instruments and tools which allow to take and analyse the necessary data in the soil and in the laboratory to study the mechanic of the soil. Also, it is indispensable to develop and maintain computer programs for geological tests. 6) Portable Autonomous Solar Kit This type of solar energy kit allows provide electricity to areas or places where the network connection, be it either 110V or 230V, is not possible. The kit uses solar energy to provide electricity. Solar energy is captured by its photovoltaic panels stored in batteries and converted by an inverter that is fitted. In addition, this inverter can be loaded manually from a conventional power network, which gives it great versatility by not having to rely solely on the sun. Another advantage is that it is an easy to use generator. The kit is especially designed for service in public and private works, can be also adapted to other uses such as providing electricity to offices or homes. When not in use, it allows for the possiblity of keeping it, thus preventing the theft of solar panels. 7) Modular Energy Tower Multifunctional modular energy towers allow solar and/or wind energy capture, depending on the ability to benefit from each enrironment.
Modular structure concists of a tower with practicable floors where a battery bank for energy storage, a water tank and even a generator can be mounted. Solar and wind generators are mounted on hinged extensions on top. The main features are:
- Production of electricity constantly. - You get a stable energy prices which does not depend on changes in fuel prices. - It involves a simple and long term energy solution. - These facilities are safe and secure against vandalism. - Highly versatile due to its modular system and the availability of a variety of extra options. - Easy maintenance thanks to its articulated extensions. 8) Small-scale Industries for Production and Processing of Cassava, Fruits and Vegetables This project is designed for the economic advantage of the local potential by the existence of fruits such as mangoes, pineapple, orange, tangerine, coffee and cocoa. It consists of the installation and commissioning of an industry dedicated to the production and precessing of cassava/cassava in noodles and starch, fruits in syrup, jams, juices and other varieties. In order to ensure the quality of these productions it has been thought in the assembly of a small testing laboratory which will carry out various sensory analysis, physico-chemical and microbiological. Moreover, to mitigate the negative impacts of the environment, caused by the dumping of liquid waste from the industry, we propose operation and maintenance of waste water system (wetlands) in which wastewater will be transformed to acceptable quality water for irrigation and forest and fruit trees, thus helping to minimize the effects of drought and the impact of climate change. The project will be developped with local technicians and workers will be trained and educated to perform their functions in the various productive flows. 9) Small-scale Industries for the Production of Milk and Dairy This project is designed for economic development through the use of the productive potential in the large extensions of land available for livestock development. It is the introduction of new animal management practices as away to incremental of milk volumes, generated from the creation of new basic facilities and animal food by category, including the prevention and control of disease in them. The milk will be used for the production of dairy products like cheese and yogurt in small-scale industries built for this purpose, which will also have a testing laboratory for evaluation of sensory characteristics, physico-chemical and microbiological, and artificial wetland system to mitigate the adverse effects of discharges of industrial wastewater on the environment. The project will be developped with local technicians and workers will be trained and educated to perform theie functions in the various productive flows. 10) Fresh Fruits Storage Plant This project is designed to consolidate and diversify natural agricultural production and marketing of them. It comprehends a set of actions to ensure the quality and quantity of selected fruits and vegetables. The implementation of a line, for the production of ecological biofertilizers and biopesticides. Development of new crops and early fruit species such as strawberry, cherry, passion fruit, watermelon, melon and papaya, and building a storage facility. This project will be developped with local technicians and workers will be trained and educated to perform their functions. 11) Production of Biogas as a Source of Renewable Energy The biogas production plant with independent gas meter is designed to process all types of solid waste so as to produce biogas, which ia obtained by processing solid waste anaerobic, it is for multiple uses (cooking, electricity and organic fertilizer), being this one of aims of the project. As key actions, a research will be carried out on the following: The amount of biogas available and necessary to meet users demand for energy, the energy potential resulting from treatment of biogas in an aerobic environment and size biogas plants according to the necessary potential and needs of each family (2.52 to 3.36 m3/day) (1070.16m3/year/family). With the construction of a simple bio-digester and continuous flow with independent gas meter for each family and institutions that request it, you will get 26754 families m3/year/25 methane gas (biogas) which is removed from the communal environment will be 12.74T total stool (pig, cow and human), organic products are produced for agricultural development (organic fertilizer, wastewater for fertiirrigation) it will remove a significant amount of greenhouse gases (GIV), harmful to the ozone layer, for each m3 of biogas unburned aproximately one ton of CO2 is eliminated. With this type of plant, it is possible to store the biogas produced by decomposition of biomass in a tank and it is maintained at a constant pressure of energy-consuming attachments. the direct beneficiaries are made up of 500 men, women, boys and girls of the 25 selected families. The spread of knowledge about this technology on families and/or common benefit, through workshops, conferences, core courses, will lead to a good operation, operation and maintenance of biogas plants by members of the brigades created for the purpose, and for men and women in the community, creating new jobs as well. 12) Improvement of environmental hygiene to reduce vulnerability to natural hazards through the creation of an Ecological Centre of Urban Waste Processing The Center for Urban Waste Processing arises using the same technology already developped in the southern province of Guantanamo Cuba. The total planned area would in the order 13.42 hectares and would target the treatment of urban solid waste, agricultural, slaughterhouse, sawmills and other, on classification of materials such as glass, plastic, cardboard, metals, organic matter. With the organic waste, compost fertilizer and humus are producede to fertilize the erosioned soil, it can be applied to crops such as coffee, cocoa, flowers, fruit and forest. This will create a nursery for the production of fruit and energetic trees to accelerate the revival of the forest zone. Eco-plastic materials Technology will be developped with the discarded plastic materials to make several minor buildings, fences and divisions into productive units, farms and public institutions. With all these actions the presence of vectors harmful to human health will be eliminated, avoiding the burning of waste that causes air pollution, it would reduce emissions of dioxins and furans, which derivates from uncontrolled burning of solid waste. With the slaughter waste (viscera and bones) liquid foods and bone meal will be developped, a source of calcium for the development of animals. 13) Management of Sustainable Integrated Agroforestry Farm to minimize degradation processes and desertification of soils The project of management Sustainable Integrated Agroforestry Farms (SIAF) is designed to achieve medium-term restoration of forest growth, biodiversity and sustainable forest development in addition to the environmental stability of the ecosystem. With the introduction in the assets of Integral Farms it is thought to restore the landscape of the ecosystem, improve the development of biodiversity, increase biological diversity to achieve the improvement and enrichment of the soil and make it more productive, reduce the use of external power and strengthen economic and social ties of the farmers and communities in addition to the successful management and protection of natural heritage. The main task of this project is to reforest 1000 hectares of the town, set up 15 forest farms with 5 greenhouse positioned to produce quality forest and fruit trees so as to seal the forest estate. These actions will improve the quality of the soil, stopping erosion processes, sanilization, and raise the economic levels of the area as it will establish forests for energy purpose, which will ensure that the needs of farmers and the community are met. The training program will strengthen the capacity of community leaders, 15 forest farmers, laborers who work on farms and families to be integrated into the restoration process. The results obtained may serve as an exemple to develop the management system on farms in other locations with the intention of promoting ecosystem restoration and sustainable environmental management of the forest heritage communities. 14) Industry dedicated to the manufacture of buses It is the implementation of bus plant, covering the entire range possible within the passenger transport: buses, regional, tourist, luxury, electric models. The dimensions of the buses go from eigh to eighteen feet, with a capacity of twenty to sixty passengers. The price of manufactured buses can be half the price for the imported buses, ensuring a good return. We will give some figures to highlight the interest of the project.. For the construction of the factory, from ten to thirty thousand square meters of land is required. For an annual production of a thousand buses, the investment is ten million US dollars, with the possibility of profitability right from the first year. If we assume that they will make and sell an average of two thousand buses a year, at the price of sixty thousand dollars per bus, then an amount of one hundred and twenty million dollars income would be generated, with the ultimate benefit of between twenty and twenty-four million american dollars. Reciprocal contributions: the manufacturer provides the expertise, equipment, raw materials, and address staff training. The local partner must be able to carry out the necessary operations on the financial plan and market study of the feasibility of the project, the steps necessary for implementation and monitoring of the activity.
