AN OUTREACH INITIATIVE BY TEEAM - SWO
Cum TC 10: "Electrical Installation, Protection and Insulation Practice"
Forum for Public Comments on the final draft of Malaysian Standards:

MS 61000-5-1: Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) - Part 5: Installation and Mitigation Guidelines - Section 1: General Consideration; and

MS 61000-5-2: Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) - Part 5: Installation and Mitigation Guidelines - Section 2: Earthing and Cabling.

Date: 30th September 2010
Time: 8:30 am to 1:00 pm
Venue: Hotel Singgahsana, Petaling Jaya
Jointly organized by: TEEAM & iKnowledge
CPD Hours: BEM Approved 3 CPD Hours
CCD Points: CIDB Approved 3 CCD Points

Overview:
TEEAM is a SIRIM designated Standards Writing Organisation (SWO) since 20th August 1999. Over the 11 years, TEEAM-SWO as the Chair & Secretariat for SIRIM TC 10: “Electrical Installation, Protection and Insulation Practice” has developed and reviewed a number of standards; both indigenous as well as adopting and adapting IEC standards. Amongst which is the MS IEC 60364 and TEEAM-SWO proceeded further to develop the Guide to MS IEC 60364 for Electrical Installations of Buildings which is MS 1936: 2006, together with its companion Malaysian Code of Practice on Electrical Installations of Buildings (MS 1979:2007) which now forms the referral standard in ST’s Installation Guidelines for Electrical Installations in the Electricity Supply Industry.

In the light of the importance regarding EMC concerns and Power Quality (PQ) issues; and to complement and supplement MS IEC 60364 and other standards of the MS IEC 61000 series developed by SIRIM TC 8 – The Technical Committee on PQ; TEEAM-SWO seriously considered the available IEC Technical Reports (TRs) on Part 5 of the IEC 61000 series. After a period of site evaluation of the recommended practices which proved suitable and they conform to Malaysian practices; TEEAM-SWO (cum TC 10) then further developed and adapted the IEC TRs as the Malaysian Standards; the final drafts of which are listed in the caption.

The process of developing Malaysian Standards is to achieve consenses among stakeholders. In this instance, whilst the two referred draft standards are now opened (by SIRIM) for public comments in the months of August & September 2010; TEEAM-SWO (TC 10) has embarked on an outreach initiative to stakeholders to seek feedback to these two important standards. Accordingly, TEEAM-SWO; with the assistance of “Asia iKnowledge” will hold a public forum on the two draft standards referred above on 30th September 2010 at Hotel Singgahsana Petaling Jaya.

Though TEEAM-SWO is the designated Chair & Secretariat for TC 10, other members (besides TEEAM’s representatives) of the TC 10 are specialist representatives from the following organisations:

• Association of Consulting Engineers Malaysia
• Jabatan Bomba dan Penyelamat Malaysia
• Jabatan Kerja Raya Malaysia
• Sabah Electricity Sdn Bhd
• Syarikat SESCO Berhad
• SIRIM QAS International Sdn Bhd
• Suruhanjaya Tenaga
• The Institution of Engineers, Malaysia

Overview:
Poor power quality can dramatically increase the cost of doing business which may be counted in hundreds of billion dollars worldwide. For many businesses, the cost of poor power quality is higher than the electricity bill. The results are lost production, equipment damage, idling personnel, data loss, revenue postponed, negative impact on cash-flow, loss of goodwill from customers and possibly even loss of market share.

Thus, Power Quality Symposium 2010 is held to bring together power quality experts to discuss the most recent and significant innovations, technologies and policies regarding to power quality.

A two-day conference dedicated to provide cost-effective, highly specialized education and learning through industry-wide forum and power quality seminars. It is jointly organized by the Center of Electrical Energy System (CEES), Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) on behalf of SIRIM Power Quality Technical Committee and Asia iKnowledge.

MANAGING COMPLEXITY IN MAJOR PROJECTS
Date: 12th March 2010
Venue: Jobsdb Training Centre, Wisma UOA II, KL
Jointly organized by: ACCI & iKnowledge
Speaker: Mr. Tan Wee Teck, Secretary General of ACCI
Overview:
“THE Malaysian construction sector is recovering from the global financial crisis and is expected to peak between the third and fourth quarter of this year on the anticipation of a full rollout of three mega projects, says HwangDBS Vickers Research.

The mega projects are the RM2 billion Low Cost Carrier Terminal, to be sited about two kilometers from the KL International Airport in Sepang, Pahang-Selangor Water Transfer and Light Rail Transit (LRT) extensions.” - The Star, 6 Jan 2010

Complexity means many different things to different people, and is rapidly becoming one of those overused yet much misunderstood pieces of terminology. It can include the multifaceted nature of stakeholders, diversity of requirements, the intricacies of multi level systems design and architecture and the challenges of integration, test and acceptance.

In this one day program, we would like to share with you the Singapore experience on the implementation of the massive rapid transit projects. One of the major areas to be covered extensively is Procurement and Contract Management. This includes how procurement decisions are to be made, selection of contractors and types of contracts to be utilized.

It is also important to note that the strategy of multiple contracts will introduce additional coordination and interface issues among separate contracts. Therefore, the management tools used in managing multiple contracts will be deliberated.

In addition, participants will leave the program understanding how the contracts are to be administered, which covers performance reporting, payments, claims administration, and records management.

Other areas to be covered include:

• Project Reporting and Tracking
• Project Quality Plan
• Safety Management Program
• Construction Risk Management and Allocation
• Communications with the Public
