Only a few months since dubai-based developer emaar appointed the chicago firm som their project architect eric tomic is on site from day one it’s a little bit counter, york city or various other geological climates, they use what are called friction piles and the friction piles are drilled down into the sand and soft rock which is down there and these friction piles develop their load bearing capacity based on their dimension and the length and they’re about 45 meters deep and generally about one and half meters in diameter and there are about 200 of these piles that are drilled down into the desert soil the desert flower hymenocallis inspired the shape of the tower’s foundation the shape a bold decision.
Once the foundation is laid the tower grows at maximum speed the site is humming 24 hours a seven days a week. There is a new floor every three days, when the terraces work up in a certain pattern and create a helical traces of the building and the building is not symmetrical, then the wind as much less effect on moving the building about when the building goes up its an asymmetrical structure and it creeps and shrinks a little bit asymmetrically. There was three different gps station on the ground and a gps station at very top of the building where the concrete was being cast every day and through triangulation they could actually measure through gps what the nearest approximation of the center of the building was and finding that they could plumb and center all the part of the formwork
