Where you hinting at me?

Maybe it will be worth postponing my trip until the end of January just to see what I can see. My preference would be the building tall conference.
I think I'm gonna need a few more memory cards for the camera!

[Slugbelch]

You and those at ssc who can make any of those two conferences.

People there would be good source info. that forumers can pry out of them that others attending may/will overlook. I think the site visits, however, can be better if you went and kind of sneak away from the pack once you get the security clearance to the site.

Then, you can just say you got lost when you are looking out of the 100th floor and everybody else is still in the presentation center.

Sounds like a plan to me!

I've been playing around with that guys link from earlier, looking into any similar cached pages.

I found this too!

http://www.ndac.org.uk/intranet/besi....2/images.html

My French isn't fluent but I understood enough to make out it's related to a +1000m burj tower.

Still can't get anything from the home page though. The login page must re-direct to a language selection/password page.

To chance upon that is probably nearly impossible. A secure page would start obviously with https blah blah something or other; but half an hour later I got bored trying all of the usual suspects!

[Sky Tower]

An online text translator makes some sense of it:


Underline the candle of the building is the major change to the final height of the building. The continuous essay of concrete is currently in course to acheive this big order!

For this building idol, only the last technology will be used climb to these never before the heights seen. Equipment composed are also under the consideration for the summit of the structure, that reveals very dear. ...But have us our clearly sketched objectives and work hard to do this dream a reality. Create tomorrow dreams it! . One not in connait, for the moment, the exact height, she will be the tower more high of the world... One can think more than 1000 meters. She will be finished in June 2009! Hotel Armani, apartments, offices, observatory... The Belgian
corporation BESIX allowed us, thanks to the director and to the person in charge of the project climb to 140 meters, to the summit of this that was in last April his maximum height. Emaar, important corporation of Emirates, that possesses many other projects all also pharaoniques, some is owner. ....

Yes our Belgian friends here really go for 1 km....

Partecipating in the Building Tall conference cost $3,000. Also to visit the presentation center you don't need security clearance becouse that is far away from the building itself, you just need an apointment to go there.

Here is an animation of the construction of the Burj from October 05 - September 06.

[Slugbelch]

Is it too late to add Oct. and Nov?


Burj Dubai is 95 levels high
Sunday, December 17, 2006 at 08:05


Billed to be the tallest tower in the world, Burj Dubai employs the latest advances in engineering technology to complete the project on-schedule.

Currently 329 metres high, Burj Dubai has used 235,000 cubic metres of reinforced concrete and 44,200 tonnes of reinforcing steel, to date. At the current height, Burj Dubai is taller than the Burj Al Arab at 321 metres, but short of the Emirates Towers office tower which stands at 355 metres - the only other building in Dubai that is presently taller than Burj Dubai.

With a development value of AED 3.673 billion (US$1 billion), Burj Dubai will encompass retail, residential and commercial components. A highlight is The Armani Hotel, Dubai, developed by Emaar in association with haute couture major Giorgio Armani S.p.A. Burj Dubai is engineered after extensive planning to withstand wind forces, high summer temperatures and seismic forces.
