| |
Burj Dubai, billed as the world’s tallest tower, will be officially opened in December this year, Emaar’s managing director Ahmed Al Matrooshi told Alrroya.com in an exclusive interview.
Early this month, the Dubai-based developer announced that the exterior cladding for skyscraper has been completed. The last cladding panel numbered 24,348, weighing 750 kg and 1160mm x 6400mm in height was placed at a height of over 662 metres (2,172 ft). The tower has accomplished a world record for the highest installation of an aluminium and glass façade. The total weight of aluminium used on Burj Dubai is equivalent to that of five A380 aircraft and the total length of stainless steel bull nose fins is 293 times the height of Eiffel Tower in Paris.
