Burj Dubai soon to reach 700 meters

Going by the steel timeline by OTR we could see the next level (so over 700 m.) maybe by the 12th of September.

- The use stated in the plans for levels 156 to 159 includes communications - not sure if that means just for the structure or if it includes communications with the outside world as well.

- Tiers 16 to 18 (the first of the steel section) are just more of the structure but with steel framing instead of reinforced concrete.

- Tiers 19 to 22 are named Roof 1 to 4.

- Tiers 22 to 26 are named Spire 1 to 5 - tier 22 is both roof 4 and spire 1.

- Tiers 27 to 30 are named Pinnacle 1 to 4.

So 2 more sections untill they are working on the spire.
