Tips for a Successful Business

Pakistan Welcome ECO Head of States!

Many knew that Chaudhry Rehmat Ali proposed name Pakistan for an independent state for Muslims in India. Pamphlet known as now or Never was supposed to be the document suggesting the Proposal. However, it was not simply a Pamphlet but a thorough thought behind suggesting Pakistan as the name for a dream country. Chaudhry Rehmat Ali wrote books on the same subject with detailed historical background and suggested proposal for the new state.

The name Pakistan as he suggested, indicating P for Punjab, A for Afhania, K for Kashmir, S for Sindh and ‘Tan’ was for all surrounding Tans like Baluchistan, Turkmenistan, Azerbaijan, Uzbekistan etc.

The idea was to build independent state Pakistan for Muslim majority areas of India and then have confederation of the same with adjacent Muslim Majority Countries.

Today, Economic Cooperation Organization (ECO) is like the reality for the same dream. Though not bind to any kind of confederation by mutual interests, economical situation, geographical link and cultural back ground bringing these countries closer to each other.

The Economic Cooperation Organisation or ECO is a Eurasian political and economic intergovernmental organization which was founded in 1985 in Tehran by the leaders of Iran, Pakistan and Turkey. It provides a platform to discuss ways to improve development and promote trade and investment opportunities. The ECO is an ad hoc organisation under the United Nations Charter. The objective is to establish a single market for goods and services, much like the European Union.ECO's secretariat and cultural department are located in Iran, its economic bureau is in Turkey and its scientific bureau is situated in Pakistan.

The nature of ECO is that it consists of predominantly Muslim-majority states as it is a trading bloc for the Central Asian states connected to the Mediterranean through Turkey, to the Persian Gulf via Iran, and to the Arabian sea via Pakistan. The current framework of ECO expresses itself mostly in the form of bilateral agreements and arbitration mechanisms between individual and fully sovereign member states. This makes ECO similar to ASEAN in that it is an organisation that has its own offices and bureaucracy for implementation of trade amongst sovereign member states.

This consists of the historically integrated agricultural region of the Ferghana Valley which allows for trade and common agricultural production in the border region of Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan. Free trade agreements between the industrial nations of Iran and Turkey are due to be signed in 2017.[3] Likewise the Pakistan-Turkey Free Trade Agreement is due to be signed.Pakistan has free trade agreements with both Afghanistan and Iran which are signed and are in the process of implementation, and currently most of Afghanistan trade is through Pakistan. And the Afghanistan-Pakistan Transit Trade Agreement is designed to facilitate trade for goods and services for Central Asia via both Afghanistan and Pakistan.This is in addition to the Ashgabat agreement which is a multi-modal transport agreement between the Central Asian states.

Further cooperation amongst members is planned in the form of the Iran-Pakistan gas pipeline as well as a Turkmenistan-Afghanistan-Pakistan pipeline. Current pipelines include the Tabriz–Ankara pipeline in addition to the planned Persian Pipeline. This is in addition to the transportation of oil and gas from resource rich Central Asian states such as Kazakshtan and Turkmenistan of minerals and agriculture that complements the industrialisation underway in Iran, Pakistan and Turkey. Pakistan plans to diversify its source of oil and gas supplies towards the Central Asian states including petroleum import contracts with Azerbaijan.

Digital Marketing Shifting Marketing Paradigm!

Free or Freedom

West is advocating for “Free”. Free society, free culture, free market, free person etc. This is leading the world to disaster because it is Freedom, which all need not free. FREE in its own “Domain is FREEDOM. Freedom leads to happiness and growth with stability and relaxation of mind as it comes with natural limits and boundaries. Free leads to distractions as it has no limits and no boundaries.

For example, it is right of a fish to swim in any corner of the water, it is Freedom but if Fish wants to swim freely anywhere, it may comes out of water and eventually will die.

Why Water Proofing is important in Construction industry!

We often ignore few important things in our daily life and think these are only for Professionals. Like water proofing. Many of us in our lifetimes find opportunity to build our own houses, industry or office but few of us know the importance of water proofing and result is obvious. We come across issues like seepage and it redo things which cost more money, time and causes lot of irritation.

Water proofing is very simple term;

Waterproofing is the process of making an object or structure waterproof or water-resistant, so that it remains relatively unaffected by water or resisting the ingress of water under specified conditions. Such items may be used in wet environments or under water to specified depths.

There are some common types of waterproofing methods used in construction industry. 

Waterproofing in buildings / structures are generally required for:

·         Basement of structure

·         Walls

·         Bathrooms and kitchen

·         Balconies, decks

·         Terrace or roofs

·         Green roofs

·         Water tanks

·         Swimming pools

The following waterproofing methods are commonly used in construction:

·         Cementations Waterproofing

·         Liquid Waterproofing Membrane

·         Bituminous Membrane

·         Bituminous Coating

·         Polyurethane Liquid Membrane

Applications of Cementations Waterproofing:

Cementations waterproofing is used in the following type of structures:

·         Water Treatment Plants

·         Sewage Treatment Plants

·         Bridges

·         Dams

·         Railway & Subway Systems

·         Marine Cargo Ports & Docks

·         River Locks/Channels & Concrete Dykes

·         Parking Structures & Lots

·         Tunnels

 Liquid Waterproofing Membrane Method:

Liquid membrane is a thin coating which consists of usually a primer coat and two coats of top coats which are applied by spray, roller, or trowel. It offers more flexibility than the cementations types of waterproofing. The liquid cures into a rubbery coating on the wall. The elongation properties of the coating can reach as high as 280%. The durability of the waterproofing coating depends on what type of polymer the manufacturer use for the making of the liquid waterproofing.

Liquid waterproofing membrane can be of spray-applied liquid membrane composed of polymer-modified asphalt. Polyurethane liquid membranes in separate grades for trowel, roller, or spray are also available from various manufacturers.

Bituminous Coating Waterproofing Method:

Bituminous coating is a type of coating used for waterproofing and flexible protective coat in accordance with its formulation and polymerization grade. Its flexibility and protection against water can be influenced by the polymer grade as well as reinforcement of fiber.

Bituminous coating is also called as asphalt coating. The most common applications of bituminous coatings include areas that are beneath screed wet. It is an excellent protective coating and waterproofing agent, especially on surfaces such as concrete foundations. Bituminous coating is made of bitumen based materials and it is not suitable for expose to sunlight. It becomes very brittle and fragile when long exposure to the sunlight unless it is modified with more flexible material such as polyurethane or acrylic based polymers. The flexibility of the finished products always depends on the solid content of the polymer added to the bitumen.

 Bituminous Membrane Waterproofing Method:

Bituminous membrane waterproofing is a popular method used for low-sloped roofs due to their proven performance. Bituminous waterproofing membrane have torch on membrane and self-adhesive membrane.

Self-adhesive compounds comprise asphalt, polymers and filler; additionally, certain resins and oils may be added to improve adhesion characteristics. The self-adhesive type has low shelf life as bonding properties of the membrane reduces with time.

Torch on membrane have exposed and covered types. Exposed membrane often has mineral granular aggregate to withstand the wear and tear of the weathering and the other types of membrane, contractor need to apply one protective screed to prevent the puncture of the membrane.

 Bituminous Membrane Waterproofing Method:

Polyurethane Liquid Membrane Waterproofing Method:

Polyurethane liquid membrane method of waterproofing is used for the flat roof area and exposed to weathering. This waterproofing method is expensive.

Polyurethane Liquid Membrane Waterproofing Method

Polyurethane Liquid Membrane can offer higher flexibility. Polyurethane is very sensitive to moisture content present, therefore before application, one has to be very careful evaluating the moisture content of the concrete slab, otherwise peeling or de-bonding of membranes may happen after some time.
