Great pics like always! Its really awsome seeing this thing coming along, the lake with water and all, why does it look so yellow though?

I counted 150 floors..... am I right??? as far as I remember it's gonna be 162
Something is for sure... It's already the tallest building in the world :D |
Toronto's CN Tower gets struck by lightning about 200 times a year. How many times a year can BurjDubai be expected to be hit by lightning?
Is Dubai the sort of climate that gets much thunderstorms and lightning? High winds? |

I think that there will be more than 162 floors. I am predicting 200 floors. We will only have to wait until they announce the completion of the tower until we truly know how many floors it will have. |

Hello, does anybody of you have any clue how deep this "lake" is going to be? Cause it looks like the water will merely reach your knees and thats not very exciting ^^

Night pics Burj, Old Town 26th September 07
Burj and Old Town Island http://i24.tinypic.com/15s0tmr.jpg http://i21.tinypic.com/1ghtts.jpg http://i24.tinypic.com/2inuxj.jpg Burj and cladding at night. http://i23.tinypic.com/t98u4i.png http://i20.tinypic.com/f3rlon.jpg http://i23.tinypic.com/jl47zs.jpg http://i23.tinypic.com/rj1jpw.jpg http://i20.tinypic.com/mwqhdz.jpg |
The steel portion of the Burj Dubai will be built by Eversendai Engineering, a Malaysian company. They also worked on the Petronas Towers. Here is my source: Eversendai wins RM50mil job for Burj Dubai steel structure. The steel portion will begin at floor 160.
And, nice pictures Old Town Resident!! |
Every week that passes this place gets more amazing. I managed to get into the Souk Al Bahar today and the Palace Hotel that opens 1st October. Every corner I turned was just another architectural surprise.
No sign of any steelwork being stored in the vicinity as yet. I will post other pics of Old Town and Palace on the Old Town Forum. http://i22.tinypic.com/xdi7ic.jpg http://i21.tinypic.com/9gkqr9.jpg http://i23.tinypic.com/xmob4p.jpg http://i21.tinypic.com/ibf0d1.jpg http://i22.tinypic.com/2ijtb9c.jpg Burj Dubai Lake.

There is no way in hell the spire will be above the clouds in a thunderstorm. In it, at 2650 feet? Probably, but no way in hell above it. I've read of cases where thunderstorm clouds peak at 70 000 feet and have seen one with my own eyes of a cloud at 50 000 feet. The norm is about 20-30 000 feet, atleast 10 times Burj Dubai's height. now, I'm not going to say lightning wont strike the sides more often than the top, as I wasn't the one that researched the local weather patterns... but I will say that the design is accounting for conditions outside what i would consider normal for tropical regions (from an aviation perspective). |
