    So much time for construction, 2003- 2016! 😨

    This building had an old plan, which was revised to a new plan and this new plan was again revised, I'm confused.

    I read that the construction of this building is facing varied problems.
    Some say it is the winter, the construction could be a bit slower; but will still continue even at -30º C
    Some point out at the bad management and general incompetence of the construction firm.
    The construction is facing a lot of technical problems with the new sliding framework which is used for concreting the core of the tower.

    Interesting, I would read more about this and get back.

    @all Civil Engineering CEans, this looks like a nice Study Assignment.
    Give it a try! 👍

    Yeah, that's actually bit surprising. I wonder how do they estimate the time required for construction 😉

    Yes, what are the factors that decide the time for the construction? 😕
    Do you know Biggie?

    I'm reading through these threads for the last 15minutes, and most of it going above my head. 😁
    The construction is discussed here with the help of images and even webcam image capture.

    I remember our Small Talk with the chief structural engineer of Burj Khalifa. He said the owners would keep changing the requirements and we had to meet them while keeping the structure 'safe' and 'on time'. Must be a difficult job. I just wish we had more Civil engineers here who've worked on or working on supertalls or skyscrappers.

    Ahh, customer requirements always keep changing. 😁

    What projects do the Civil Engineers take up as their final year project?
