World's tallest Dubai Creek Tower takes shape in Dubai 2018 (1200m)

Dubai Creek Tower’s pile cap is an approximately 20 metre thick multi-layered, tiered reinforced concrete top that covers and transfers the load to the foundation barrettes. To date, about 25,000 cubic meters of concrete have been poured, weighing about 60,000 tonnes – or half the weight of the CN Tower in Canada. About 12,000 tonnes of steel reinforcement has also been placed, which is nearly twice the weight of the Eiffel Tower. The tower’s 145 barrette piles were tested to a world record load of 36,000 tonnes and laid 72 metres deep to firmly secure the super-structure. In all, about 50,000 cubic metres of concrete will be used to fully cap the foundation piles. Over 450 skilled professionals from across the world are working on site highlighting the global collaboration that marks the construction of the new iconic structure. Designed by Spanish/Swiss architect and engineer Santiago Calatrava Valls, Dubai Creek Tower will feature several observation decks such as the Pinnacle Room and the VIP Observation Garden Decks. -~-~~-~~~-~~-~- Please watch: "Tribute to the HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum's 50 years of dedication and service UAE" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u4rQdGRhuyA -~-~~-~~~-~~-~-
