Bangladesh Economic & Infrastructure Development - Updates & Discussions

[X-ray Papa]

And Bangladesh is our cesspit, where we flush our waste to. Flush too hard & you lot would end up at the bottom of Bay of Bengal.

Cope harder, Kanglu. Your country literally oves it existence to us & "our power" & we wouldn't find it too difficult to undo your nation.

As for your delusions about Indians being low paid, here is your own media stating how your expats earn only half of what's earned by Indians.

Bangladesh’s per worker remittance one of the lowest

A serious effort to increase the number of trained migrant workers can help sustain the remittance inflow

www.tbsnews.net

If Indians earning twice as much as your immigrant population are menial labourers, what's exactly your population doing over there?? Same stuff they are doing in Noida apartments I suppose.



Says the nincompoop from a country that has invard remittances at 6-7% of GDP...

Remittances from the entire Bangladeshi diaspora (13 million) is barely a little more than the remittance from 3 million Indians in UAE alone.

Nothing surprising there, we all know your qualifications & skills. Menial labourers wherever you go.

You at 3-4th place? Lakhs working in that shithole called Dhaka? I knew there was an opiod crisis in US but never knew Bangladeshi janitor population there was be affected.



I just love how they have a whole thread in this very section about how unreliable their statistical data is, almost as if to counter every claim made in this thread

It's like having poison & it's antidote together

dhoti wearing Rendian threating us LOL

Cope harder Rendian, this is your reality

Samuda Construction manufacturing PHC piles for the first time in country​

The company has invested $8.2 million in its factory located on 4-acre of land in BSMSN​

Samuda Construction Limited, a concern of TK Group, has started commercial production of Precast High-Performance Concrete (PHC) piles for the first time in the country.

As of now, this high-strength pile, largely used in the base construction of large structures, is being imported from China and Malaysia to meet the country's growing demand.

Samuda is manufacturing the piles at its factory in the Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Shilpa Nagar (BSMSN) and selling the product in the domestic market.

PHC pile, a prestressed concrete tube with a circular hollow section, is used in multi-storied buildings, the construction of large bridges, the construction of jetties in deep-sea ports and river erosion prevention.

The demand for this high-performance construction pile is rising with the development of infrastructure in the country.


The company has already invested $8.2 million in its factory located on 4-acre of land in BSMSN.

Mustafizur Rahman, director of TK Group, said, "The PHC piles market has seen tremendous growth in the last few years. Around 10 million running metres of the piles are being sold per year. Our production size is 1.5 million running metres per year."

Generally, piling work is not required for the construction of two or three-storey buildings but it is necessary for constructing high-rise buildings.

Without piling or a deep foundation, the load of the structures cannot be distributed and transferred from the surface to deep down the earth and the PHC piles are used for supporting the load.

Mustafizur Rahman said reinforced iron cages were used for retaining bridges and multi-storey buildings some 10 years ago but ready-made PHC piles are available now. Its use is increasing every day because it ensures sustainable infrastructures with reduced costs and hassle."

"We make the design and manufacture it accordingly. Currently, we are producing 400 pieces of piles in different sizes [9, 10 and 12-metre] per day."

"We have sold 2,500 pieces of piles to some companies including China Road and Bridge Corporation, a global construction company which is also working on some big projects in Bangladesh. Besides, we are using our products to build our own infrastructure," the TK Group director added.

PHC piles were first invented in Japan in the 1970s as a means to provide a solid base for building structures in a rapidly growing and earthquake-prone country.

Since then, these rigid piles have been used widely in developed countries such as the USA, Germany, Italy, Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, and Vietnam. It played a key role in the rapid development of China and Southeast Asia.

PHC piles are hollow, precast and prestressed concrete piles, in sizes generally ranging from 300 to 1200mm outside diameter. However, the dimension of the spun pile is generally used according to the Japan Industrial Standard (JIS).

Bangladesh Economic Zones Authority (Beza) has set a target of 100 economic zones by 2030.

Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Shilpa Nagar, one of the largest economic zones in South Asia, is being constructed in an area of 30,000 acres of land in Mirsarai and Sitakunda upazilas of Chattogram and Sonagazi upazila of Feni.

Many large industrial groups including the TK Group established factories in this Shilpa Nagar.

Payra Port: Tk 4,950cr dredging kicks off Thursday​

Star Business Report
Tue Oct 25, 2022 09:10 AM Last update on: Tue Oct 25, 2022 12:13 PM

The Payra Port Authority (PPA) is set to begin the much-hyped capital dredging project in Rabnabad channel at a cost of Tk 4,950 crore to facilitate entry of large ships.

To be implemented by the Belgian dredging company Jan De Nul, the PPA under the shipping ministry will build a channel 75 kilometres long, 100-125 metres wide and 10.5 metres deep between the port and the sea, said a press release from the shipping ministry.

The channel will bring a capacity to carry 40,000 tonnes of cargo or 3,000 container ships to the port, it said.

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina will virtually inaugurate the project on Thursday from her official residence in Gono Bhaban.

At the same event, the premier will inaugurate eight ships and lay the foundation stone of a six-lane connecting road with the port, first terminal and a bridge there.

This information was announced at a preparatory meeting chaired by State Minister for Shipping Khalid Mahmud Chowdhury at the conference centre of the port yesterday on the occasion of the inauguration of the development works.

The development works of the port may help it function at full capacity and enhance the country's foreign trade, the benefits of which will be enjoyed by the country for ages, the press release said.

Of the eight ships, two are pilot vessels, two are heavy duty speedboats, one is a buoy laying vessel, one is a survey boat and two are tugboats.

Through the dredging project, Payra port will be able to facilitate the arrival and exit of domestic and foreign commercial ships, and the preservation of the channel properly.

The construction of the first terminal of the port will cost Tk 4,516.75 crore. The operational work will begin after completing the construction work by December 2023. The 6.35 kilometer long six-lane connecting roads, being implemented by the Roads and Highway Division for Tk 655.5 crore, is scheduled to be complete by 2023.

A 1,180-metre-long bridge, worth Tk 740 crore will be built over the Andarmanik River to transport the Payra Port Authority's cargo.

Once the construction of the first terminal, 6-lane connecting road and bridge of Payra port is completed, three foreign containers or bulk cargo ships will be able to arrive together in the three jetties of the terminal.

A total of 236 sea-going ships have arrived at the port so far, earning the government Tk 548 crore as revenue, the press release said. "We are seeing a booming economy in the southern region around Payra port," said Mahmud.

Among others, Muhibur Rahman Muhib, member of parliament (Patuakhali-4), and Rear Admiral Mohammad Sohail, chairman of the Payra Port Authority, were present at the event.

The premier inaugurated Payra port on November 19 in 2013.

Trade activities at Payra port, the country's third seaport, are increasing gradually riding on coal imports for the nearby Payra 1,320-MW Thermal Power Plant.

Coal handling by the port rose from 1.46 lakh tonnes in 2019 to 17.05 lakh tonnes in 2021, port data showed.

Jan De Nul starts the second phase of dredging in Payra Port​

One year after the first phase of the contract execution for the capital and maintenance dredging of Payra Port started, Payra Port Authority and Jan De Nul Group officially kicked off the second phase, being the capital dredging works, in the presence of high government officials and senior representatives of Jan De Nul on 27 October 2022, according to the company's release.

The access channel will open Payra Port for large seagoing container ships and vessels, rendering the port fully accessible and operational for worldwide trade. This Government Priority project will generate numerous job opportunities for local workforce and companies, while boosting the economy beyond the regional boundaries tremendously.

The access channel dredging works have started in full force over the last weeks and are scheduled to be completed by June 2023.

Recent months, several kilometres of pipelines, pontoons, heavy machinery and support vessels were prepared, adapted and mobilized by means of large bulk carriers, calling directly to Payra Port.

Because of the extremely challenging sea conditions, customized parts needed to be fabricated and existing equipment needed to be reinforced. Jan De Nul employed its logistical hubs in Singapore, Dubai and Belgium to supply the project.

Meanwhile, at Payra Port, multiple kilometres of retaining dykes were constructed, creating the reclamation basin which will be filled with sediments dredged along the future berths and inner channel.

DHAKA, Bangladesh—Somoy Television, a news-based 24-hour television channel broadcasting nationwide in the Bengali language, has chosen Ikegami HD cameras and monitors for use at its studio headquarters in Dhaka as part of the network’s transition from 576i SD to 1080i HD production and transmission.

Somoy TV has operated successfully with Ikegami technology from the commencement of test transmissions ahead of its April 17th 2011 launch.
The new purchase includes 10 Ikegami HDK-73 HD camera systems, 14 HLM1760WR HD monitors and two sets of HLM2460W HD monitors. Somoy TV's new HD facilities are scheduled to go live from Q4 2022.

Ikegami’s HDK-73 is a dockable multi-role high-definition camera designed for standard-dynamic-range and high-dynamic-range broadcast production. It is available as a complete system including CCU, connecting fiber, viewfinder and remote control. Image capture is to 2/3-inch 2.6 megapixel CMOS sensors, each capable of capturing full HD 1920 x 1080 resolution images with an extremely wide dynamic range of more than 600%, high sensitivity (F13 at 50 Hz) and high signal-to-noise ratio, Ikegami said.

The HDK-73's sensors natively support 1080i/59.94 and 1080i/50, as well as 720p/59.94 and 720p/50 scan formats. Major features include full digital signal processing, advanced digital detail correction with independent horizontal and vertical correction of red, green and blue signals, and optional anti-moiré filtering. Hybrid log gamma processing is operator-selectable for HDR picture origination, enabling high-contrast scenes to be televised with full picture detail across the entire brightness range from highlights to shaded areas. Full digital signal handling is performed by a processor operating at up to 38 bit depth.

The HDK-73's dockable structure allows studio configuration with fiber base stations as well as self-contained operation with a camera adapter for wireless or onsite recording applications. A fiber adapter can be attached directly to the camera head without need for external cables. External devices such as wireless transmission or a solid state recorder can be attached for stand-alone operation, making the camera suitable for live sports, news gathering or field production, Ikegami reported.

The Ikegami HLM-1760WR is a 17-inch Full-HD video monitor with very narrow front-to-back dimensions, light weight and low power consumption, Ikegami said.

It incorporates an LED-backlit 1920 x 1080 pixel LCD 450 candela per square meter high-brightness display panel with 10 bit processing depth, 1500:1 contrast ratio, wide viewing angle, fast motion response, and high quality color reproduction. The monitor is equipped with a range of tools for use in broadcast production. Multi-format SDI, 3G-SDI, HDMI, Ethernet and VBS inputs are provided as standard.

The HLM-2460W incorporates a full 1920 x 1080 pixel high brightness and high contrast LCD panel. This has a wide viewing angle, fast motion response, and high-quality color reproduction, achieving real pixel allocation without resizing, Ikegami said.

Everyone knows Indians are only see women as objects, add to that they're almost always sex starved (just take a good look at your avg ramesh and you'll figure out why that is), add to that their misogynistic beliefs which call for burning widows, five brothers marrying one wife, rape and infanticide... sheesh, what a bunch of savages..


and now what little women worth a second look that they do have are being stolen by love jihadis aka mughal descendants, the gangus are in a fix, not manly enough to keep a woman and not manly enough to fight so they resort to releasing their frustrations online and ganging up on lone muslim men.



If you open twitter and search for certain keywords, you'll be shocked that they have a cuckolding fetish with muslim men




So pay no fret to this little gangu, he's just here to vent his sexual frustration and inferiority when it comes to masculinity.
