Finishing touches are made on the world’s
highest building in preparation for opening
The construction started in 2004
In May 2007 it set a record in vertical concrete pumping of 500 meters
In september 2007 was already the world’s highest building
September 2008, it is the highest building ever built by human hand. It’s height: 700 m
With its 160 floors, it broke a previous
It set the record in occurred expenses too
For its construction new technological solutions have been developed
The crane operators had no acrophobia
At the upper level the Earth in a fish eye lens
The existing skyscrapers are dwarfed by the tower
A view from the tower… in clear weather…
The location of the tower in Dubai
There is an artificial lake and a fountain in front of the tower
This is the World’s highest musical fountain
The curtain of water is 150 m high and 250 m long
The fountain’s jets are computer controlled
The jets are illuminated by 6600 electric bulbs and 50 colored light projectors
