Engineering Infrastructure and Integrated Security Components
Engineering systems are a set of means of life support for people and a technological platform on which the rest of the company's information and communication systems operate.
The Utilities group includes:
- structured cable systems,
- power supply systems,
- air conditioning and ventilation systems,
- water supply, sewerage, heat supply and watering systems.
Control over complex engineering equipment is carried out using the automated dispatching control system (ASDU).
An important trend of recent years is the integration of engineering and safety systems. The latter, in particular, include both "traditional" solutions - access control and control systems (MCDS), security alarms, video surveillance, fire extinguishing systems, etc., and special means - inspection systems, human body scanners, substance detectors, thermal imagers, identification devices, etc., which together form the concept of "complex security systems" (IBS).
One of the main factors stimulating the market for "engineers" and KSB is undoubtedly the upcoming 2018 World Cup. In addition, it is worth considering the fact that the complexity and complexity of infrastructure facilities is growing every year. Smart buildings and structures require advanced safety monitoring systems and ensuring the reliability of critical systems.
 | Today, due to the deterioration of the situation on the world political stage, the activation of terrorist organizations, including those conducting propaganda through the Internet, the issues of equipping critical urban infrastructure with modern security complexes are becoming more relevant than ever, "said Alexei Krasov, head of the project department of the integrated security directorate of the Asteros group. - Great attention is paid to safety in transport, during mass cultural and sports events. For example, at the entrances of all metro stations in Moscow, including the MCC, search tools appeared that work in constant mode |  |
Trends in the Russian market of engineering infrastructure (AI) and integrated security (KB)
Engineering Infrastructure and Integrated Security Market Technology Trends
In 2017, market participants talk about the increasing integration of engineering systems both among themselves and with IT infrastructure and IT services. In addition, they notice an increase in the efficiency of systems, as well as a decrease in the cost of individual elements.
One of the key technological trends in the integrated security (CB) market is the use of biometric identification systems. According to Alexei Krasov, head of the project department of the integrated security directorate of the group Asteros"," in connection with the change in legislation (Order No. 1092, MINISTRY OF INTERNAL AFFAIRS Russia the bill of the Ministry of Sports of Russia), there is a "complication" of the process of attending sports events by fans whose identity will be identified. Tickets will be purchased using passports, as in some countries Europe when going to football matches.
In terms of engineering infrastructure (AI), IP technologies and all kinds of virtualization systems are becoming increasingly used.
| | Big Data technologies gave a powerful impetus to the development of the market: the volume of data is constantly growing, and information needs to be collected, stored, analyzed, systematized. Solutions to increase IT capacity inevitably "pull" the "engineer" behind them: the servers need to be located somewhere, bring electricity to them and remove heat, and in the rooms - ensure the operation of ventilation systems, gas fire extinguishing, air humidification. From the design point of view, the future is definitely behind the information modeling technology (BIM) of buildings and structures, "said Alexei Krasov. - Already, customer requirements in the framework of contracts oblige integrators to mandatory application of BIM. A striking example from our practice is Dynamo Stadium, where the use of BIM technologies has already proved its effectiveness both in terms of improving work efficiency and in terms of optimizing the time costs of organizing and coordinating subcontracting work, and interaction with the customer. | |
Andrei Afonenko, director of the Oil and Gas department of Insystems (part of the Lanit group), also notes that IP technologies have become increasingly used in the construction of engineering infrastructure and integrated security. At the same time, in the field of automation and dispatching, there is a tendency to move from local AI systems to centralized ones.
| | Many large organizations have begun to implement ACS ISS (automated system for managing engineering support systems), ASDU (automated system for dispatching control) at geographically remote distributed facilities. This allows you to use preventive measures when detecting any failures in the operation of the equipment, which significantly reduces the number of failures of the latter, "says Afonenko. | |
The AMT Group notes that at present the customer wants to get a comprehensive integrated solution, so ASDU, as an upper-level AI and KB system, begins to play a key role.
 | In conditions of unstable economic development, each business is looking for its own way to maintain volumes. Someone refuses to experiment in favor of run-rate business, someone focuses commercial efforts on several key customers. The management of the Asteros group decided to go its own way: to the traditional competencies for the system integrator, the company added engineering, and then construction expertise, gradually breaking its way to the general contract market for large infrastructure-dense facilities - stadiums, offices, hotel complexes. This required repainting almost the entire structure of the group and, above all, project management. Sergey Chikiryov, head of the project management directorate of the Asteros group, told TAdviser about how to move from the IT class to the top construction league and what mistakes should be avoided. |  |
 | valign = "top" [[Ulyanov Mikhail | Mikhail Ulyanov]], head of the design department of the technical directorate of the Asteros group, told TAdviser about the IT transformation of the construction industry and the place of Asteros in the new market niche of universal system integration. | |
According to Ivan Tsarev, head of the direction of low-current systems "Krok," the integration of engineering systems both among themselves and with IT infrastructure and IT services is becoming increasingly widespread.
| | Extremely interesting are obtained, while unique solutions are in demand on the market. As an example of such solutions: the use of video cameras in the fire alarm system or the integration of the access control system into buildings with video surveillance systems and with the system of authorization of access to corporate resources. There is a tendency in security systems to develop video analysis systems, "said the representative of Krok. | |
Yuri Gurkovsky, head of the engineering infrastructure department of LANIT-Integration (part of the Lanit group), says that one of the main trends in AI and KB are the use of Ethernet-based technologies and solutions based on ultra-high resolution cameras (more than 20 MPs) in video surveillance systems. In addition, among the trends, he sees an increase in the performance of various systems, their integration, as well as linking the functions of AI and KB systems with the business processes of the enterprise.
| | Now the requirements for energy efficiency and the efficiency of operation and safety services have noticeably increased, he adds. | |
According to Yuri Hilman, Director of Business Development of the IT Outsourcing Department of Korus Consulting Group, the development of all systems is characterized by the following general trends: reducing the cost of system elements, increasing the efficiency and duration of uninterrupted operation of systems as a whole, scalability and flexibility in choosing elements, the possibility of combining radio channel and wire elements within one system without the use of additional control equipment, etc.
Andrei Shiryaev, head of projects at the competitive sales directorate of Compyulink Group of Companies, believes that trends stemming from the topic of import substitution come to the fore: adaptation of equipment during assembly to Russian realities and localization in the Russian Federation, state support for developments. However, here, in his opinion, there is a contradiction: at the state level, the need to build their own servers and data storage systems (which is associated with the implementation of the "Spring package") has been repeatedly stated, but so far this recommendation remains only on paper. And the equipment that is presented as domestic, in fact, 90 percent belongs to the import manufacturer. In fact, Russia does not yet have sufficient resources to replace imported equipment with domestic one.
In addition, the Computer expert mentions the trend of protecting networks with the active use of virtualization technologies and ensuring security when outsourcing.
| | I would like the trend to be an increase in investments in AI and KB, "sums up Andrei Shiryaev. | |
Market Trends in Buildings and Structures Engineering Infrastructure Market
Answering the question about the main market trends, experts most often talked about finding opportunities to cheaper the necessary solutions.
So, Alexey Medunov, director of the engineering systems department of I-Teco, called the main trends - the search for a Russian manufacturer and cheaper solutions in all areas of infrastructure. In addition, he mentioned a change in market share between manufacturers of engineering equipment.
Roman Pavlov, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Sirius, also called the maximum cheapening of engineering infrastructure services the main market trend.
| | Customers are looking for efficient ways to build systems with low-cost resources, gradually moving to more profitable solutions. In the field of engineering infrastructure, we, as Europeans, are finally starting to "transfer" from a premium car to budget cars with a manual transmission. Buildings such as class A business centers will continue to hold the bar, but their construction, in turn, will decrease, "the expert said in 2016. | |
Dmitry Vedev, marketing director of AITI Group of Companies, noted that the cost of equipment has doubled, and this issue could be resolved in three main ways.
The first is a direct increase in the budget. The cost of engineering systems is about 40% of the total cost of the building. Equipment by 85% - imported. This means that the total construction budget should be increased by 15-20%. Which causes future rental or sales rates to be increased proportionally. And in a narrowing market, prices are not rising. As a result, this approach was possible only for class A offices, elite real estate, a number of critical industrial facilities, the expert noted.
The second method is to replace equipment with solutions of the second line of manufacturers. For example, the most popular replacement is Cisco on Huawei. With almost the same functionality, the cost of solutions becomes much lower.
| | We can talk about import substitution in a limited amount. In engineering systems, and especially in mechanics, there are simply no Russian analogues. In addition, it should be understood that in the field of hardware, unlike software, "Russian" products are nothing more than OEM products from China. At best, this is a screwed assembly of imported components. For example, in Russia there is practically no market for a civilian element chip base, "added the representative of AIT. | |
The third method is to replace expensive design solutions with cheaper ones. In fact, this is a combined path between increasing the budget and replacing equipment from another manufacturer. The customer is tasked to fit into the original ruble budget and is ready to partially sacrifice functionality.
Relevance of import substitution in AI and KB
From scratch, it is impossible to become a competitor to world IT giants, but the movement has begun, and there is development in this direction</div>]]
As the TAdviser survey showed, the topic of import substitution is important for the field of engineering systems and complex safety. Most market participants surveyed talk about the relevance of this process. Some experts recall that a couple of years ago domestic solutions were exotic, and today they are fully used in large projects.
An important factor in the use of Russian developments is their lower cost. In addition, new joint ventures are being opened in Russia, where equipment is being assembled from foreign components. All this contributes to the spread of ideas of import substitution.
Alexey Krasov from Asteros notes that his company, when working with the state budget, often faces federal requirements for import substitution.
| | In our projects, the most widespread use is found primarily in Russian analogues in terms of inspection equipment. Gradually, companies that produce SKS, LAN components enter the domestic market: these are equipment based on Chinese components, but nevertheless produced and developed in Russia, "he says. | |
| | If we talk about the design bureau, then traditionally in "Asteros" they use domestic solutions for security alarms and access control, in addition, all kinds of video surveillance camera options appear on the market. And, of course, software, complex integration platforms that are used in security systems - there are enough solutions on the market that are mostly not inferior to foreign counterparts, "concludes Alexei Krasov. | |
Valery Nikitin, Technical Director of Technoserv, notes that the import substitution process is gaining momentum. In his opinion, from scratch it is impossible to become a competitor to world IT giants, but the movement has begun, and there is development in this direction.
| | If a couple of years ago Technoserv was only looking at domestic manufacturers of IT solutions, it was exotic, now we have already implemented a number of successful projects with such suppliers, for example, in the project to create the 112 System of the Novosibirsk Region, in a number of projects for JI UES. And in the data center for the FMS of Russia created last year by Technoservy, the equipment of more than 20 Russian high-tech companies was used, and the data center itself was created on Technoserva's own solution - the IT-Crew Modular Data Center. In addition, we use our own solutions in the field of agricultural projects "Safe City," says Nikitin. | |
Yuri Gurkovsky, head of the engineering infrastructure department of LANIT-Integration, calls import substitution issues very relevant. This, he said, is due to both the restrictions dictated by the sanctions and the optimization of budgets in the current economic situation.
For Korus Consulting, the import substitution process is more than relevant. According to Yuri Hilman, Director of Business Development of the IT Outsourcing Department, the public sector is the priority industry for implementing engineering infrastructure projects for the company, so it is obvious that in order to successfully work with customers of this level, it is necessary to take into account import substitution policies.
| | An important factor is the sequestering of the budget, which had an impact on project budgets. It's no secret that Russian developments are cheaper than European counterparts, he adds. | |
Ivan Tsarev, head of the direction of low-current systems at Krok, says that many customers take into account the presence of Russian equipment in the project.
| | New joint ventures are opening in Russia, where the assembly of components of foreign vendors takes place, thereby minimizing the effect of sanctions and exchange rate differences, he adds. | |
According to Andrei Shiryaev, project manager of the competitive sales directorate of Compyulink Group of Companies, domestic products have their advantages in the Russian market: they are better protected simply because they are not known to a wide range of users, but are more adapted to the requirements of the Russian customer. Import solutions are implemented on the principle of "conveyor" and sold in basic blocks, with the expectation that if one customer does not take, he will buy another. There are very few alternatives, the expert believes. He also mentions the topic of creating domestic satellite programs for existing import programs and environments.
According to Mikhail Ulyanov, head of the design department of the technical directorate of the Asteros group, a protracted crisis peak taught investors to be more attentive to their budgets. Customers focus primarily on capital-intensive and efficient solutions. At the same time, the "national" affiliation of the vendor does not play a special role here, he notes. Sometimes a product that seems profitable in purchasing may not meet the financial expectations of the customer during the operation and maintenance stages. The choice in favor of a particular decision is made strictly in accordance with the full financial case: roughly speaking from the moment of commissioning to operation for 5-10 years, Ulyanov says.
| | A couple of years ago, I observed a certain market interest in the idea of import substitution. Then foreign manufacturers managed to quickly navigate: 90% of them opened representative offices in our country, most of them localized production. For example, global brands such as Danfoss, Grundfos, ABB, Schneider Electric have significantly reduced their assembly costs, and still remain competitive compared to domestic manufacturers. I think that now everything has returned to its own circles: the bulk of companies emphasize the price/quality ratio when choosing a particular product. The geography of production is secondary, "said Mikhail Ulyanov. | |
At the same time, according to him, Russian manufacturers have always been quoted on the engineering market, however, as practice shows, domestic is not always the cheapest.
| | The proposals of Russian solutions over the past few years have definitely become more. There are our companies that successfully operate in the market of mechanical systems, there are manufacturers of equipment for safety systems. But there is still a part not covered by Russian manufacturers, for example, in the segment of "heavy" engineering there are no domestic analogues of refrigerators, precision air conditioners, diesel-rotary or dynamic UPS. And the customer simply has no other options - he buys foreign, "the expert concludes. | |
Importance of Integrated Safety System Direction
The direction of integrated security systems is important for system integrators, and for a number of companies implementing such projects, this area is strategic. Moreover, the relevance of the topic had increased considerably recently. Such data were obtained during the TAdviser study.
| | The relevance of this topic has certainly increased, and significantly. In total, over the past 10 years, the total amount of terrorist threats implemented has increased many times. Tensions in the world are increasing, and interest in KSB is increasing proportionally. Today, much attention is paid to safety in transport, during mass cultural and sports events. For example, at the entrances of all metro stations in Moscow, including the MCC, inspection tools appeared that work constantly, "says Alexei Krasov, head of the design department of the integrated security directorate of the Asteros group. | |
The strategic direction of complex security systems is called by Valery Nikitin, technical director of Technoserv. A similar opinion is held by Krok, noting that almost all modern facilities prioritize the security system.
The AMT Group recalls that the company's engineering department historically began with projects on integrated safety for subways (the situation center and the emergency communication system are red-blue columns). And now many complex projects are unthinkable without a section of integrated security.
LANIT-Integration considers the direction of complex security systems one of the most important.
| | Given the projects for preparing for the 2018 World Cup and other large infrastructure projects, the implementation of which places special high demands on security systems, this area is one of the most important, "says Yuri Gurkovsky, head of the engineering infrastructure department of Lanit-Integration (part of the LANIT group). | |
Compulink notes that now increased attention towards integrated security is directed both within the company and in the context of the entire domestic IT market.
| | This is due to many factors: the development of the tourism sector and, accordingly, the increased threat of terrorist acts, the modernization of the city's infrastructure. It became necessary and possible to read the emotional state of people, their facial expressions, gestures - and, in accordance with the information received, make predictions of their behavior. Especially such video recording systems are in demand in the framework of major world events. With the widespread provision by these systems of points of greatest concentration of people, it is possible to achieve a significant reduction in the risks of threatening the life and health of society, "says Andrei Shiryaev, project manager of the competitive sales directorate of Compyulink Group of Companies. | |
Rating of the most competent companies in the domestic market for building engineering infrastructure and integrated security
TAdviser prepared the first rating of the most competent companies in the domestic market for building engineering infrastructure and integrated security. When preparing the rating, data were used on the main resource of companies - the number of specialists in the field of engineering infrastructure and integrated security, allocated divisions within companies for the implementation of relevant projects, as well as information on their own developments and major projects.
Rating methodology and data sources.
The most promising industries for the implementation of projects in the field of engineering infrastructure in 2017 - 2020
Speaking about the most promising industries for the field of engineering infrastructure and integrated security, Russian system integrators most often mention sports and industrial facilities. The former are seriously developed thanks to the upcoming World Cup. The prospects for projects in industry, according to some experts, may also be due to the process of localization of foreign industries.
| | In 2017-2018, it was the construction of sports facilities, auxiliary transport infrastructure and trading facilities being prepared for the World Cup. Judging by the increased attention from the state to the localization of foreign production and the existence of economic sanctions, industry may receive development in 2019-2020, large foreign companies in Europe and Asia are already speaking out about such plans. And after that, with the lifting of sanctions, all industries will gradually develop. After all, these are interconnected elements of our economy. And no industry can do without engineering infrastructure, "said Ivan Tsarev, head of low-current systems at Krok. | |
In AMT Group, in addition to sports and industrial facilities, office buildings, trade, transport and culture are among the promising areas for the implementation of engineering projects.
| | Since the need to create such systems is almost basic, this market continues to develop in all sectors of the national economy, the company believes. | |
In Asteros, the most promising areas are called industry, as well as urban and transport infrastructure, including airports and train stations.
| | Highways are blood vessels that provide high-quality logistics, the economy relies on them in many ways. In industry, the modernization of facilities will also continue - this is due both to updating the infrastructure and to increased security measures and the transition to the use of digital technologies and the Enterprise 2.0 paradigm. If we talk about the urban environment, here new urban concepts require a serious restructuring of the urban infrastructure, the development of Smart Cities, improving environmental friendliness, adapting to the needs of citizens and introducing modern communication and IT solutions. This applies to all objects of the city without exception, including park and recreational areas. Comprehensive projects for the reconstruction of residential buildings, the construction of new quarters and improving energy efficiency using the concept of a "smart home" will support the demand for integrated engineering and IT solutions, as well as physical security systems at all levels, "says Alexei Krasov, head of the design department of the integrated security department of the Asteros group | |
Insystems experts see the greatest prospects in fuel and energy enterprises, industrial and transport facilities, data centers. Korus Consulting has hopes for sports facilities, industrial, commercial and office buildings.
For LANIT-Integration, data centers, transport infrastructure, industry and healthcare are the most promising.
Representatives of Compulink expect that in 2017-2020 engineering projects at defense production facilities, sports facilities, as well as in financial organizations will be developed. Technoserv sees the prospects for sports, production, office and energy facilities.
AI and KB Market Size
The volume of the Russian market for engineering infrastructure and integrated security for industrial and commercial facilities in 2016, according to TAdviser, amounted to about 600 billion rubles, which corresponds to the level of 2015.
An assessment of the market volume of engineering infrastructure and complex safety of buildings and structures was made taking into account Rosstat data on the volume of construction work. In 2016, this figure amounted to 6.2 trillion rubles, an increase of 0.6% compared to 2015 (in actual prices). Commercial and industrial facilities account for about 30% of the total construction market. In turn, the share of engineering systems (including safety) is, according to experts interviewed by TAdviser, about a third of the total construction costs.
Impact on the AI market and KB of the 2018 World Cup
The preparation of sports and transport facilities for the 2018 World Cup turned out to be a significant help for the engineering infrastructure market. FIFA safety requirements set a high bar for projects to be implemented. Contractors are most often in no hurry to advertise their achievements before the Championship (more...).
Budget for AI and KB as part of the 2018 World Cup. Expert assessments
Money came to the industry, but no one knows the exact number of them. The costs of engineering infrastructure and complex security can be either allocated in separate tenders, or laid down in large contracts, or generally dispersed under small contracts. The financial movement cannot be traced to open tender sites, most of the subcontracting work is not advertised by contractors.
The experts interviewed show a wide range of assessments, which is primarily related to the subjective perception of the framework set by the term "engineering infrastructure."
According to TAdviser, the costs of AI and KB in preparation for the 2018 World Cup will amount to about 210-220 billion rubles. Of these, about 90-100 billion rubles will be spent on the preparation of stadiums and the surrounding area.
The remaining funds will be used to prepare AI and KB of other facilities: airports, train stations, roads, hotels, administrative buildings - everything that is not included in the adjacent territory, but is required for the championship.
