Strategic Partnership Between the Government of Morocco and TAQA Morocco, Nareva, ONEE and the Mohammed VI Investment Fund to Develop Key Power and Water Infrastructures in the Kingdom of Morocco

 As part of the implementation of the commitments made in the joint declaration between His Majesty King Mohammed VI, may God Assist Him, and His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, TAQA Morocco, in partnership with Nareva and the Mohammed VI Fund for Investment, has signed three memorandums of understanding and related development agreements with the Government of Morocco and ONEE. These agreements cover the development of structuring projects in the power, water and renewable energy sectors.


The program aims to strengthen the Kingdom's water and energy sovereignty through the development of flexible natural gas-based power generation capacity, seawater desalination and water transport infrastructure, and a new power transport line between the south and center of the Kingdom.


Involving a total investment of around 130 billion dirhams by 2030, this partnership will enable :


            - The production of 900 million m³ of desalinated water and the transport of 800 million m³ through the water highway project.


            - The acquisition of the Tahaddart gas-fired power plant (400 MW) and the addition of 1,100 MW of combined-cycle capacity.


            - The development of 1,200 MW of renewable energies under contract with ONEE, as well as an HVDC line of around 3,000 MW.


All of these projects will be equally owned by TAQA Morocco and Nareva, with a 15% stake held by Fonds Mohammed VI pour l'Investissement.


Abdelmajid Iraqui Houssaini, Chairman of the Board of TAQA Morocco:


“This strategic public / private partnership will contribute to significantly and sustainably transform the domestic water and energy landscape in Morocco with the enhancement of desalination capacities and water transmission. It reinforcsereinforces the transmission network with a higher contribution of gas-fired power generation in Morocco's baseload to increase the integration of renewable energy sources.This important investment programme will also accelerate the growth and diversification of TAQA Morocco’s business portfolio.”

Rigaku Collaborates on X-ray Analysis of Fusuma-e by Maruyama Okyo

 TOKYO - Tuesday, 20. May 2025 AETOSWire Print 



(BUSINESS WIRE) -- Rigaku Corporation, a global solution partner in X-ray analytical devices and a Group company of Rigaku Holdings Corporation (headquarters: Akishima, Tokyo; CEO: Jun Kawakami; hereinafter “Rigaku”) has conducted measurements of fusuma-e in Daijoji, a temple in Mikata-gun, Hyogo Prefecture. Fusuma-e, also called shohekiga, are images drawn on fusuma, traditional sliding partitions.


The measurements were conducted as part of a research project to “restore the original colors of the gold-leaf backing of fusuma-e drawn by Maruyama Okyo (1733–1795), a painter of the mid to late Edo period. The project is being conducted through the collaboration of three researchers: Shinno Yamasoba, assistant chief priest of Daijoji Temple and project leader; Tetsuya Senda, formerly of the National Maritime Research Institute; and Takeshi Tanaka, artist and professor at Tohoku University of Art & Design.


The purpose of the measurements was to investigate scientifically the artistic intention of Maruyama Okyo, the historical context in which he painted, and the impact that restoration would have. The team used the Thermo Scientific™ Niton™ XL5 Plus, a handheld X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analyzer, for its ability to analyze material composition non-destructively. Detailed data were acquired, focusing on the following three areas of interest.


(1) Determining the timing of production of the peacock images


The team measured to determine whether the gold foil used in the two center panels and the two end panels were of the same or different composition. Confirmation that the compositions are different would provide scientific evidence that the fusuma-e were produced at different times.


(2) Use of gold foil to express perspective


Preliminary measurements suggest that gold foil was used on panels with colored drawings of basho (Japanese fiber banana) to produce a bright, reddish tinge, and on panels with ink drawings of peacocks to create a dark, bluish aspect. In this measurement, the compositions of all fusuma were analyzed to examine further whether different color gradations of gold foil were used in two-panel spaces to create perspective (sense of depth). The results are expected to lead to fresh understanding of the expressive techniques of Okyo.


(3) Use of gold foil in the Edo and Meiji eras


The team compared the gold foil Okyo used in the original paintings in the Edo era with the gold foil used in repairs in the early Meiji era (mid-to-late 19th century). This measurement was a precious opportunity to obtain quantitative data on the gold foil used in the Edo era.


These analytical results are expected to be used as a scientific resource to deepen understanding of the painting aches and techniques of Maruyama Okyo.


Rigaku will continue to contribute to the preservation of cultural treasures and transmission of them to future generations through science and technology.


About the Rigaku Group


Since its establishment in 1951, the engineering professionals of the Rigaku group have been dedicated to benefiting society with leading-edge technologies, notably including its core fields of X-ray and thermal analysis. With a market presence in over 90 countries and some 2,000 employees from 9 global operations, Rigaku is a solution partner in industry and research analysis institutes.

Procore Doubles Down on BIM, Empowering Contractors and Owners to Build Smarter

 Acquisitions of Novorender and FlyPaper Technologies to Drive Predictability and Reduce Risk


(BUSINESS WIRE) -- Procore Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: PCOR), a leading technology partner for every stage of construction, today announced investments in its Building Information Modeling (BIM) capabilities. Expanding on its existing BIM offerings, Procore has announced its acquisitions of Novorender and FlyPaper, which upon integration will empower owners and contractors worldwide to unlock BIM, streamline coordination, and connect critical BIM data seamlessly across the Procore platform.


In recent years, BIM adoption has accelerated, driven by European government mandates and a rise in global megaprojects with complex data requirements, including data center construction and civil infrastructure projects. However, the full potential of BIM data often goes unrealized due to limitations in accessing and visualizing complex models effectively.


"We’re excited to combine the power of Novorender and FlyPaper’s best-in-class BIM solutions into the Procore platform. BIM is an accelerant in the future of data-driven construction, and these additions will supercharge Procore's existing BIM capabilities," said Steve Davis, President, Product & Technology, Procore. "Together, we’re working to deliver the most performant model-based construction management platform for large, complex projects."


Procore Acquires Novorender to Advance BIM-Powered Construction Management


Founded by CEO Tore Hovland in 2016 in Stavanger, Norway, Novorender is one of the world's fastest 3D model viewers and BIM platforms. The company’s 3D-rendering technology brings construction management beyond 2D, supporting every phase of the build lifecycle, from preconstruction to operations. Novorender’s patented BIM technology can process and combine models at 25x the speed of current construction industry standards, making it much faster to bring all of the parts of a project together.


"We are thrilled to join forces with Procore to continuously bring BIM to the forefront of construction management," said Tore Hovland, CEO, Novorender. "Novorender's ability to render sizable models in seconds will exponentially increase Procore's BIM processing power, enabling project teams around the globe to integrate complex models with new speed and efficiency."


Procore Acquires FlyPaper Technologies to Power the Next Generation of AI-Model Detection


Procore is further building on its connected BIM offering with the acquisition of FlyPaper Technologies, makers of Navisworks plugin Sherlock. A longtime Procore technology partner, FlyPaper’s advanced algorithm is already leveraged by some of Procore’s ENR 400 customers. Once FlyPaper is integrated, Procore BIM customers can gain access to automated and streamlined 3D design coordination, clash detection, and collaboration to improve predictability, reduce rework costs, and bolster jobsite safety.


Upon integration, Procore's BIM offering will provide the global construction industry with visibility into the most complex BIM models, alongside integrated design coordination and clash detection capabilities to further simplify BIM throughout the course of construction.
