The building is built on sand, which is unusual as most tall building are founded on rock.

The building is supported on 250 piles. Each pile has 1.5m diameter and 45 meters

under the sea. So there is only sand to hold the building up.

13

The trusses on the side of the building are 85m and weighs 165t.

They were built 15 KM from the site and brought by road to Dubai on huge 80 wheel lorries which had to be specially imported from South Africa.

The highest truss took a day to lift into place.

If one man was to build the building himself it would take about 8,000 years to finish.

Temporary tube piles driven into sea bed Temporary sheet piles and tie rods driven into sea

bed to support boundary rocks.

Permanent boundary rock bunds deposited either side of sheet piles

Hydraulic fill layers deposited between bunds to displace sea water and form island.

Permanent concrete armor units placed around island to protect it from the waves

Construction of Burj Al Arab began in 1994. It was completed in 1999. It was built in the shape of the Arab dhow,

a type of Arabia boat. Two ‘wings’ spread in a V shape to form a

‘mast’, with the space in between them making the worlds largest atrium.

It needed to be a building that would become identical with the name of the country.

Joint Venture between

Al Habtoor Engineering

Murray and Roberts

Fletcher Construction

25

The companies all joined togather because by utilizing the separate talents of each partner:

labor supply1. concrete work2. structural steel supply3. Erection4. high rise management experience5. Purchasing6. cost control7. management staffing

26

1- Al Habtoor Engineering had the responsibility to provide the project with the labor required the quality of the concrete and block work.

2- Murray and Roberts brought the expertise for detailing, fabrication, shipment and erection of the complex structural steel. This was subcontracted to Genrec Steel Fabricators of Johannesburg, South Africa, a company owned by Murray and Roberts. This subcontract would reduce financial risk.

3- Fletcher had the high-rise management and planning expertise. The project director and project manager came from Fletcher and were based in Dubai.

27

The structure is made of a steel exoskeleton. Wrapped around an reinforced concrete tower.The space between the wings is enclosed by aTeflon-coated fiberglass sail, curving across thefront of the building and creating an atriuminside.The sail is made of a material called Dyneon,spanning over 161,000 square feet, consists of

twolayers, and is divided into twelve panels andinstalled vertically. The fabric is coated with DuPont Teflon to protect

itfrom harsh desert heat, wind, and dirt. Thefabricators estimate that it will hold up for up to

50years.
