Burj Dubai March 30th 2008 photo update, photos of Dubai skyline. The Burj Dubai is really starting to stand out in the skyline.

Burj Dubai Spire Erection Methodology

This has a wealth of info that I never took to notice before as the lifting was so far away.

First the new platform is probably a working platform as in the plan above. Thing is it is supposed to be on tier 19. I wonder what the reason for it being on tier 18 is ? ( no I don't think it is because the structure is going to be less than 818 m. )

I have been looking at this plan and I have an idea of the exact lifting proceedure but if someone can grasp fully what the proceedure is going to be perhaps you can enlighten us with your thoughts. It looks like there is going to be more than one lifting stage to me. Also looks like they are going to finish parts of the structure after the lifting is completed. Also looks to me they will finish tier 19 then start the lifting after that as Cul said. Kinda looks like they will continue building higher on 2 ( ? ) of the 3 wings and finish the third after lifting. This lifting proceedure is going to be very interesting and somewhat more complex than at first glance.

Burj Dubai officially the new World's Tallest Structure

The Burj Dubai is now officially the World's Tallest free standing Structure, the current height of the newly installed columns is 630.5 meters. The top of the three new columns are 1.7 meters taller than the KVLY-TV Mast. And the current floor count is 160:mezz 2, so officially Tier 18 has now started.

Below is a photo of the first column just after it was installed, this is the one that broke the record! also I have posted two more photos of the Burj Dubai and the city of Dubai. lastly is a diagram showing the current status of progress on the mighty Burj Dubai.

Dubai vs Star Wars

Here is a recent photo of Dubai and a image of the city from Star Wars, Dubai is a futuristic city in the making. By the year 2020 after Al Burj and the other super tall skyscrapers that are currently in progress or on the drawing board are completed Dubai will be a city like no other. :D

Burj Dubai March 21st 2008 photo update, the current floor count is level 160 Mezz 2 at 624.1 meters or 2048 feet in height. When they put up the first column on level 160 mezz 3 the top of it will be 630.5 meters or 2068.5 feet in height. The steel work on level 160 mezz 3 should start in the next day or so btw...
