Tema: Dubai (EAU): The Pentominium. 516 m, 120 plantas.

Pedrillo ha publicado en el blog una nota: http://www.urbanity.es/2009/the-pent...-arabes-aedas/
y yo he creado esta ficha: Pentominium (Dubai) | Urbanity Base

Se rumorea que, al constatar que el Chicago Spire está en punto muerto, se quite la aguja del Pentominium como lo subraya el último post de Lau pero 516 m no está nada mal.

Lau, estas de cuando son?

Son del 25 de Septiembre.


Aquí Fury explica el sistema de cimentación:

Thanx Imre - great to watch this project so early in it's construction. Too bad we were a bit late to see the early BD work ...

What a chore to break the concrete to the level they want on the pile caps with jackhammers. In Imre's second last shot we can see they break them to a very level top. They are getting the ground levelled nicely also.
They are getting closer to putting down the waterproof membrane that will be sealed up to the pile caps - still a ways to go, but getting closer.

Here is a shot from 04 08 (Aug '04) from the Burj to illustrate.

Dubai Supertall Progress Report, October 30th



Charts and Stats










Individual Tower Updates


Burj Dubai – 818m

Almost done (exterior anyway). Is set to open on December 2nd but I doubt everything inside the tower will be ready.




Pentominium – 516m

Progress here is very good and now is very likely to be completed. There is no spire anymore though (probably since the Chicago Spire is pretty much dead). The 5m thick raft foundation is due to be poured in December.




Burj al Alam – 510m

Piling is ongoing but has recently slowed down again. It’s difficult to see what progress is being done.




Burj al Fattan – 463m

The previous hotel has been demolished but nobody knows if they will proceed with this tower or not. Unfortunately there isn’t a recent picture.




Bin Manana Twin Towers – 454m

This looks to have died very quickly. Apparantly they were not allowed to start or something like that and the Dubai Municipality closed the site down. We will see whether this is cancelled or if they will get approval.




Damac Heights – 426m

Work has restarted on site and various site preparation activities are happening such as building the site wall, soil testing, etc.




Princess Tower – 414m

Progress has picked up once again and is now back to one floor a week. They have built up to level 75 now.




Marina 101 – 412m

The floors are being built fast, roughly one floor every 5 days but still no sign of cladding. The tower is up to the 40th floor.




The Lighthouse – 402m

Surprisingly there is a little bit of work going on at this site. Piling is complete and pile caps have been exposed. Waiting for the main contractor I think.




Marina 106 – ~400m

There is a new design for this tower and also work has stopped on site. Maybe they need approval for the new design and they will restart once they get it. The company building this has a good bit of money apparently.




23 Marina – 389m

This has been quite fast recently with new floors being added more than 1 floor a week. They haven’t started building the weird balconies up near the top yet though. Tower is up to somewhere near the 74th floor.




Elite Residence – 380m

Like Princess Tower, this one has also picked up speed and is being built at one floor a week now. Core is up to something like the 29th floor.




Hard Rock Hotel – 379m

There has been some news about this tower recently. The developer is inviting contractors to give prices so at least it shows they still want to build.




Emirates Park Towers – 376m

Progress is good and is starting to look better as more cladding gets added. Towers not topped out yet since there are a few more smaller floors to be built on top and then the spires. The current height is around 300m though.




Almas Tower – 363m

This is pretty much completed. There are a few panels missing on top but the tower is occupied and everything.




Emirates Towers – 355m

Complete.




Signature Towers – 351m

For some reason Al Habtoor have mobilised onto this site. They moved a whole load of stuff including a generator, oil tank and water tank. Who knows, maybe Al Habtoor have bought the plot and they will build something instead.




Al Attar Tower – 342m

There are some works on site but it’s very very slow and goes on hold every so often.




The Torch – 338m

Progress was quite slow for the past 2 months since the addition of new floors stopped for some reason (cladding continued though). Now they have started building the next floors again. There are only a few left before the roof and then the roof feature. Core is near the 80th floor.




Rose Rotana Suites – 333m

This tower is completed but is still unused. Nobody knows why.




The Skyscraper – 330m

This is on hold.




Al Yacoub Tower – 328m

Speed has picked up on this tower once again and is now around or just under 300m. I think all the floors have been built and now the roof feature is starting.




The Index – 328m

This is almost done but still interior works left. Also the ground floor and the general entrance area needs a lot of work.




Burj Al Arab – 321m

7 star hotel. Complete




HHHR Tower – 317m

This is almost done.




Ocean Heights – 310m

The last floor has recently been reached by the core. Soon the floorplates will catch up and for the tower to be topped out the little fin at the top needs to be built also.




Infinity Tower – 307m

Progress here is good and the tower is now near the 30th floor.




Dubai Pearl – 300m

A massive complex consisting of four towers joined at the top and bottom (counting as one structure). Work here is progressing quickly despite this being such a massive project. Three of the four foundations have now been poured.

Armadura de acero de la base de la torre con al menos 4 m de espesor en 60x60 m practicamente terminada a punto de recibir 15 000 m3 de hormigón en los próximos días lo que explica el sistema de refrigeración, esas informaciones proviene del forero Bramble implicado en la obra.
