These boats being built are about 4 miles from the Burj Dubai site. . . just about everything in Dubai - it seems - is about 4 miles from one another. . . and I wasn't that impressed with the NPR Marketplace segments they did. . . they glossed over everything like a Japanese tourist snapshots of the United States. . .

It does look a little like a spire in my photo, but those are just cranes. It has a long way to go yet.

Yes, at least 500 ft more to go.

[Kirre]

By the way, you can kind of tell in my last photo, the water has a lot of debris (At least that is what it looks like to me) in the bottom and that is why it is green. The actual lining looks light blue.

[MapleLeaf]

Thanks for these photos. It looks great on them. :yes:

[kraggman]

WOW !! She's getting close .......

[myshtern]

Is the spire going to be helicoptered in?

[timba86]

Yes, at least 500 ft more to go.

500 foot??? Really?? that's almost 150 meters, it already is that small at the top. Does that distance include the spire?

[kraggman]

Is the spire going to be helicoptered in?

They might have to use the space shuttle, helicopters can't go that high. :haha: J/K

[timba86]

Is the spire going to be helicoptered in?

maybe it could be done like with the Petronas towers. Where one of the two spires was actually assembled inside the building and raised the small distance upwards. This technique made their victory a certainty. (Because each tower was given to a different contracter, they created a race)

Isn't this the way they did with the Chrysler Buliding as well in the 1920's ?
The spire was assembled inside of the building and raised up at the last minute.

[MapleLeaf]

The design architect, Adrian Smith gave an interesting interview about his company and Burj Dubai. He claims that there are 40 storeys left to be built, which could mean 200 storeys all together (current 160 + 40).

:sly:

Yeah. I think that was because the final height was a big secret.

[AltinD]

Final Height: 818 meters
Current Height: 630.50 meters
Remaining to be build: 187.50 meters

The above figure is on top of the pinnacle/spire, that will be build inside the steel structure and will be jacked up and locked in place.

Yeah, it seemed to be written around proving whatever point they were making. It was just funny hearing that segment and then seeing that picture and knowing what it was.

Then again, I bet this building will throw a rather large shadow!

I'm just making a guess here, but i think they are garbage bins for all of the off cut construction materials....just a guess.

[Ingenioren]

That's really interesting. How does Sharjah look from street-level? When i've seen streetpics from Arabic countries, it seems like it's way to car-based with 40m wide streets full with all white cars etc.. Is any new development in Dubai made to be cozy for walking except malls? I guess in the dessert heat, one does not walk that much?

Base jumper aims too high at Burj Dubai
Gulf News -- By Alia Al Theeb
18 April 2008


Dubai: An ambitious base jumper who wanted to jump off the world's tallest building, the Burj Dubai, ended up high and dry, in jail.

The unidentified base-jumper had made his way to Burj Dubai equipped with his parachute.

Security guards stopped him because he did not have the right permission.

The European national was not to be dissuaded so easily though, and he ran to the tower and proceeded to climb up. He said he wanted to jump off one of Dubai's landmarks.

Police were alerted and a squad was dispatched to Burj Dubai. He was caught before he could climb much higher.

Brigadier Abdul Jalil Mahdi, Deputy Director of Dubai police's Criminal Investigation Department (CID) for Preventative Security, said if the man had had permission, he would have been allowed to jump, but without permission, it wa a violation of safety and security procedures.

He said the man is currently out on bail, but the case will be referred to the Public Prosecution.

Base jumping is a sport using a parachute to jump from fixed objects such as buildings and towers.

I think it's awesome that Dubai officials would give permission for a base jump. This opens the door for a future attempt. :yes:

[MapleLeaf]

Even this crane is amazing...How tall is it? 70m?

[Jacques]

Just out of curiosity! which floor be the top level, I realize it is 162 storey, but that is counting the antenna is in it? and are they any photos of the suite interior designs?
newbie in this thread, thanks.
I just received news my brother may be transfer to Dubai soon

[Trogdor01]

The stated floor count does not count the antenna.

The tricky part is that when initial construction began, they built 5 or so floors which were/are to be "buried" and become basement floors (i.e. they'll build up the earth around these floors).

So while the antenna doesn't count in the overall number of floors, the question is whether the "basement" floors do.

I know this doesn't give an exact number answer to your question -- I'll leave that to the experts -- but hopefully this illuminates you as to what goes into the count for this building.

[Surrealplaces]

Hi all.

They initally dug a huge 15 m. deep hole so the lower levels are below the level of the ground. The floor count starts from the ground level which is 4 levels and 15.25 m. above the foundation raft (counting the unused raft level).

Here is part of my plan to help clear things up.

http://img214.imageshack.us/img214/7514/burjdubai071010jk8.jpg

http://img215.imageshack.us/img215/1250/burjdubai071011tt0.jpg

The floorcount is as follows and does not count the 4 lower levels:
- 160 levels
- Add 6 - for Ground level, 155 mezz., 158 mezz., 160 mezz., 160 mezz. 2, and 160 mezz. 3. (level 1 is actually the second level)
- Subtract 4 - for skipped levels 41, 74, 110, and 137.
= 162 levels - the top of which is 630.5 m.
The rest of the structure to 818.0 m. has stairs, ladders (internal), and platforms right to the top. (818.0 does not count the lower levels or the handrail and aircraft beacons on the top platform)

Arabian Business has a special report section on the Burj. Many articles, a timeline, etc. There is 8 new articles from 08 04 20 on MEP for the Burj.

I'm guessing those ironworkers are not afraid of heights.

[AuxTown]

OK this confirms it. Everyone keeps saying that the floor area is still quite large and that it just looks small because the building is so damn tall.....well, judging by the humans in that picture for comparison, the floor area is not very big at all. How many more floors until this thing tops off?

[br.reese]

guess there are no elevators in those top floors.

[howardroark]

guess there are no elevators in those top floors.
Yep, its just a spire from here on out. The actually skyscraper was completed a month ago. The rest is just ascetics to make it look taller. Doubt these floors will ever be occupied for any reason at all. No point in having to go up and down up tp 30 flights of stairs.

[Fury]

Hi all

The top level you see in the pic is 2800 sq. ft. The size of a large house as I have said before. A fairly large size at 630 m. up.

The steel you see is the top of the last named level - 160 mezz. 3. This last level is taller than any guyed mast standing anywhere on Earth. After this there is stairs, internal ladders, and platforms right to the top.

This structure is much more than a skyscraper. It is by a large margin the tallest manmade structure in history supported or not. The spire and pinnacle left to be built is all breaking new ground. It also continues the complex arrangement of tiers that started from the ground and will complete the proportions of the structure.

:cheers:

[Colin Giersberg]

The distortion makes the Burj look as tall as the Earth is round.
That is one impressive picture.

Finnaly a highrise which beat the last WTB with some good margin.

That's nice to know. The tower has to be millions? times it's height to see the earth rounded. lol

[JDRCRASH]

The steel you see is the top of the last named level - 160 mezz. 3. This last level is taller than any guyed mast standing anywhere on Earth.

True, but it still has to pass the once-proud Warsaw Radio Mast at 646 meters.

Well that sentance makes no sense, but if you are talking about the curve you see its not the durvature of the earth its just the fish eye effect from the camera lens choosen.

Staff....that's a stellar shot!!!!

[WanderingQueen]

The top level you see in the pic is 2800 sq. ft. The size of a large house as I have said before. A fairly large size at 630 m. up.

That sure doesn't look like 2800 square feet to me. Look at the size of the people in the photo. That floor area doesn't look much larger than 1000-1500 square feet to me but we men are notoriously bad at estimating size, aren't we?
:cheers:

BTW: (for our international friends who don't use feet, 2800 square feet is approximately 260 square meters)

[SkyWatcher]

You have to scale it with a bigger standard than the men. Say the beam they are sitting on is 20' long and imagine a garage [400sf] outlined in front of them. It only takes 7 400sf garages to get 2800sf.

[WanderingQueen]

I get what you're saying, and I think that the beam they're on is probably longer than 20 feet. But using your measurement, try to imaging placing seven square garages of the size you've mentioned in that space. No way you would fit more than 2 (2 1/2 at the most). If the beam is 30 feet long and you use 900 square foot squares, you still (assuming you could fit 2 1/2 of them in there - and I think that would be a stretch) you still end up with only 2250 square feet. Anyway, it's a small point but I don't think these floor plates are as large as Fury said.

[Fury]

:previous:

Read some pages back and you will see my post on how I know that it is approx. 2700 sq. ft.

:cheers:

[WanderingQueen]

It's probably not worth arguing about. We'll know for sure soon enough. Anyway, the thought of being where those guys are scares the hell out of me. I guess a career in highrise construction is out.:(

[Fury]

Hi all.

Hey Wandering - I wasn't trying to argue bud. Just trying to say I don't make this shit up. :)

Just for you ... This is the tier they are working on right now and the crane shot happens to be from the same direction as this and most of the prints.

Fury, your photos prompted a curious question.

I don't know if this has been discussed already, but is any of the steel section of the building going to contain occupiable space with apartments and such? ...because the steel structure does not look like it would accomodate that.

It's been mentioned a few times, and that space is not going to be occupied. The steel section is just for the spire, and has no elevator connections

The extra cost of that part is probably not insignificant.
If it serves no purpose, it sure is a nice gift to the city.

Where is the elevator?

Where is the elevator?

no more elevator, just stairs. this area isn't inhabited so its really not a big deal if there's no elevator

[Dac150]

^^^^There is no elevator. That space will be unoccupied. It would make for a cool studio apartment though.

[BrownTown]

Are yall sure they is no elevator? Kinda looks like there is room for one in the top right, but that might just be the stairs or utility corridor.

Nope. That is considered part of the spire if you could believe it......

Can't say I agree with you...2700 isn't that big. I think it's pretty accurate.
