Burj Dubai, Topped Out!
After 3 years of construction and at a final height of 818 Meters(2,684 Feet), Tower Dubai is a marvelous testament of human ingenuity.

I'm kinda bummed now. Topping out is somewhat anti-climatic, seeing how we've been waiting for three years of construction to finish.


:shrug:

[sw5710]

How many years will the Burj hold that title?

[Jobohimself]

It's even ugly topped out. Bleh.

[Flo Flo]

I think the Burj will keep the title of the highest tower in the world during a long time because the only project which is supposed to be higher is the Nakheel Tower and it's "on hold" (a nice way to say "it's cancelled but we don't want to say it for the moment because people won't be happy").

Consequently, that tower will stay the highest in the world durin a very long time

[1ajs]

breaking the record could be anywhere from 5-20 yrs maybe longer Torontos cn tower had it close to 40 yrs if i am not mistaken

[JACKinBeantown]

breaking the record could be anywhere from 5-20 yrs maybe longer Torontos cn tower had it close to 40 yrs if i am not mistaken

31 years. Built in 1978 I believe.

[Bergenser]

CN Tower were never worlds tallest building as it is a TV-tower, a completely different structure.
Now let's see if this one can hold the title longer than the Sears Tower.

[Trantor]

this thread is too long and hard to find the needed info on it.

on the 1st page, it says BD will have the fastest elevators in the world.

but how many elevators? Is there a diagram of elevators, number of elevators, etc?

Thank you very much.

[sw5710]

Thanks for the feedback on how long it will be the tallest . The burj is the worlds tallest structure. There are different kinds of structures as posted before this clears them all:banana: !

[sw5710]

Almost forgot. I don't remember ever finding a page on any web page that has the elevators shown on it for the burj dubai.

[M.K.]

3 are gone to build the exterior, and what about the interior? How is going? We see only photos of exterior, never the finishing inside.

[Aleks]

Yes, unlike the Chicago Spire thread, where people give us the exact number of bolts used in the tower, the Burj thread doesn't have that much information. As a matter a fact, there isn't as much information on the internet that you would expect for a structure of this magnitude. Same for the Russia Tower...

[KevinFromTexas]

Does anyone have any plans or drawings/info that show the heights of all the setbacks? I'd love to do a model of this thing out of Legos to go along with my other models of skyscrapers. Crazy. My model of the tallest building in Austin will be about 9 inches tall. A Burj Dubai model of that scale would be just over 38 inches tall.

[Rise To The Top]

^Fury has some, pm' him

Hi Kevin.

Look back 1 page - post 7187. Grab the zip with my BD Plan. It has all the tiers and level heights - and much more.

:cheers:

[catmai]

Burj Dubai ! I love it !

[Alpha]

the topped-out Burj Dubai looks really fantastic! Is there a floor plan of Burj Dubai available, which says for what kind which floor will be used? What will be installed in the highest floors? An observation deck? A panorama restaurant? Broadcasting equipment? Equipment for radio monitoring? Will some floors of Burj Dubai used by military offices or by secret services, for example for monitoring radio telephones in Iran?

[Nomadd22]

The KVLY mast held the record since 1963, with a gap in the middle while the Warsaw mast was up.
The BD will have to hold the record for another 4,400 years to pass the Great Pyramids run.

The Chicago Spire is easy. The number of bolts is zero.

And unlike the Great Pyramids, it wasn't built to last forever.

[BrandonJXN]

It's nice. That's all I can really say. :shrug:

I think it is the September of this year is it?

[SkyscraperMan]

Completely amazing. All hail to Dubai. :worship:

[Nicko999]

Hi sw.

If you are referring to the small booms - they are the BMU's (Building Maintenance Unit or window washing units).

[TANGELD_SLC]

So sad that it's not getting any taller :(

[shakman]

So sad that it's not getting any taller :(

It is already about a half-mile high.

I believe there is another tower on drawing boards in Dubai that will top this one.

[Phil McAvity]

I just can't believe they did it.

They really did it.

My sentiments exactly.

This building is so tall and sleek that it really looks like the product of some CGI in a sci-fi movie set about 50 years in the future. It didn't just narrowly eclipse the previous record holder either (the way Petronas did over Sears), it ate it for breakfast and shit it out later.

Amazing.

Actually two. Both will never be built :yes:

Have they scrapped the other two projects? Or are they delayed??

[JDRCRASH]

Are you guys referring to Nakheel Harbour Tower and Dubai Sky-City?

[KevinFromTexas]

Amazing shots up there, Imre. This building really does soar into the clouds. Most only get shrouded in fog, but this thing not only goes into the clouds, but it surpasses them. Crazy.

[TXAlex]

They are going need window cleaners on that building 24-7-365.

[malec]

Are you guys referring to Nakheel Harbour Tower and Dubai Sky-City?

Nakheel Tower is one, the other tower, One Dubai is the other.
None have officially been cancelled but Nakheel Tower has been put on hold. In fact nakheel seem to be in serious deep shit since they're putting on hold pretty much everything they have.
One dubai never started but I don't think the company behind it will even build one 20 storey building, never mind 200. :)

Wow! That lake is really shallow! I could go swimming in that! Why is it so shallow? Is the Bellagio lake even shallower?

Also, it would've been cool if they added a tunnel that lead to a dome in the middle of the lake and popped out so you could see the water fountain abode you and all around you! Or integrate the aquarium tanks within the lake [with the proper tools and conditions of course so the fish don't die] so you could see the Burj Dubai rising above you, slowly following the patterns of the waves...

PS: Amazing tower. Didn't like it at first cause I was jealous and thought of Dubai as cheap but I have to say I love this tower now. How ironic.

People, I am sorry what I will say, but after seeing this construction the last time, I am starting to be bored of such building, even when it was not finished yet. I don't know, i am not so surprised and enthusiastic anymore, gotta to be boring with it. Maybe I should be alive there to be more wow again.:slob:

For the longest time I've suspected this was the case for most of the people who scoffed at this project.

Yes everyone is entitled to their opinion yadda yadda and so on, but the hatred some people displayed in past versions of the BD construction threads towards this tower was almost... militant. As if this tower slandered someone's mother or something.

...but I have to say I love this tower now. How ironic.
:)

I've actually been indifferent, it was the height that impressed me more than anything--the design didn't seem all that great to me at first but now after seeing the Burj in recent photos reaching up into the clouds... it looks majestic and is in my opinion an excellent addition to the world of skyscrapers.

Quotes from an article...

http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601039&refer=columnist_pesek&sid=aYDcH7_GEdkc
Dubai’s Edifice Complex Is Falling on Hard Times

Commentary by William Pesek
Feb. 6, 2009

As construction cranes littering Dubai’s skyline go idle, it’s time to revisit that ever intriguing economic indicator: the Skyscraper Curse.

As this columnist has pointed out periodically, there’s an uncanny, if unscientific, correlation between financial crises and efforts to build the world’s tallest building. Look no further than Kuala Lumpur in 1997, Chicago in 1974, New York in 1930 and in biblical times with the Tower of Babel.

The human propensity for architectural overreach has been a surprisingly reliable omen......

[mr.steevo]

The people are all inside staying out of the heat.

Yes, but the photos I was commenting on (which don't seem to be up at the moment) had indoor mall shots. There was no one around. A Cinnabon shop was empty, escalators were empty. Disturbingly empty.

I am serious, who is supposed to fill up the Burj?

It's like Tampa, Florida: Everyone is driving. Seriously, there are great pictures of downtown Tampa with it's glass spires but you look on the streets and -- no one is around. People are around, of course, but they're not out walking on sidewalks and such. Everyone drives in from the suburbs and the ex-burbs and then drives out abruptly at the end of the work day.

The heat has something to do with it in Dubai's case but at the same time -- that is something that is surprising. Are things that sprawled out in Dubai that you can / should only drive from point A to point B?

I'm interested to see how they get the cranes down.

Most of the Dubai architecture is great. There's really nothing like it in the States. I don't liike the Chicago Spire (which is on hold). The Freedom Tower has turned into an ordinary, utilitarian design. It's nothing like the original, prize-winning design. Doing everything by committee has a definite down-side.

I'm interested to see how they get the cranes down.


they are going to take the biggest crane down with the smaller one. then they install an even smaller crane which takes down the other one. after that they will take down the parts of the smallest crane in the elevator.
