Centrepiece of the 6 sq km Dubai Creek Harbour project completes concrete placement for the pile cap two months ahead of schedule
Dubai Creek Tower, the $1 billion centrepiece of the 6 sq km Dubai Creek Harbour project, has completed concrete placement for the pile cap two months ahead of scheduled completion.
Dubai Creek Tower’s pile cap is an approximately 20m thick multi-layered, tiered reinforced concrete top that covers and transfers the load to the foundation barrettes.
With this milestone, 50,000 cubic metres of concrete has been poured, weighing about 120,000 tonnes or the weight of the CN Tower in Canada.
About 16,000 tonnes of steel reinforcement has also been placed, just over twice the weight of the Eiffel Tower, a statement said.
