- Dubai, fuelled by the wealth that comes with being a major oil hub, has grown by close to 600% in population in the last 30 years. The modern-day metropolis version of Dubai is a water-side city on the edge of the desert, full of iconic architecture and massive construction undertakings.

How The Burj Khalifa Was Built - Наука та технологія
At some point, a construction crane was the tallest building in the world when it was used to build the tallest building in the world.
YAY
Oh yeah
i dont think thats how it works lmao
*”Listen here you little shit”*
Is a crane a building?
Amazing how they accomplish such a complex undertaking. Just overwhelming thinking about the logistics involved. A great deal of respect for the architects, engineers and construction workers who worked on this project.
The technology and planning involved is an absolute marvel.
they did not plan the sewer system at all, do research on that one and how many trucks they need to pump it out daily.. many hundreds
That’s absolutely deplorable in this day and age. They need to fix it up now and pump it to the desert to fertilise the ground.
@@dertythegrower lol that's a rumour 😂 and that video on UA-cam is bs
LOL but not so good with the sewage system
buidling a tall tower on a empty desert for trust funds babes and hedge funds managers ain't marvelous its stupid
It doesn't cost 100$ to visit the upper floors, it's not even half that. Packages start from 150AED which is 40$
I wouldnt go there even if they offer it.
what they did to the workers that went there to build their buildings was disgusting.
I went there it wasn't worth my time at all. The view from up there simply looked like a concrete jungle in the middle of a desert
Humans: we still don’t exactly know, how the pyramids were build
Also humans: yeah, building an inconceivably high tower isn’t such a big deal
Pyramid is much complex than this building. The Mathematical and architectural precision in Pyramid is way too impressive. Remember those who build the Pyramid had no access to cranes and I don't think any crane can lift 100tonne stone.
@@whatislifebuttheenjoymento3405 the pyramid is not more complex than this building lol, sure they build it without having modern technology and that's impressive, but fact is the pyramid itself is not complex.
@@whatislifebuttheenjoymento3405what a tool
It was built even before the invention of the wheel. That's what creates the mystery
@@Qwerty-jc3sotwo words: black people
Looks like VISION hasn’t watched Adam Something’s video 😂
All of this amazing construction feats yet we cant turn ocean water into drinking water without harming the environment and making it affordable.
it does in UAE
We can, but it wouldn't be affordable for commercial purposes (aka huge quantities). So the increased cost of operations would pass down to customers and result in inflation of prices.
Totally worth it, few people can say they don’t know this building or where it is. Iconic.
Wow! The construction and build was just super amazing to watch!
Dubai is a soulless city. It's the Las Vegas of the Middle East, it's enjoyable to visit once and only if you have money to spend. I wouldn't want to live there even if I was rich. I'd rather live in Turkey instead for example. So much history behind the country, very culturally rich, and not to mention the beautiful cities and views. Dubai is so overrated.
I completely agree. Been there once and it's soulless and doesn't feel too friendly towards strangers. Despite having so much, it's very very empty (soul wise).
Sir please don't spit facts form Adam Something but they are right tough
Turkey is a beautiful country
Totally agree , everytime I stayed there I just felt really depressed. I much prefer Turkey or the sultanate of Oman or even the South of Saudi arabia
@@erdemgunduz3527 it's an amazing country
Never get tired of going to Dubai. Great place, Burj k is very special.
Interesting and worthwhile video. Making sure the ground had the load capacity to hold the weight was a huge issue before and even during construction.
Totally worth every bit.
A marvel of human excellence!
Fascinating clip. Visited there a few years ago.
Slightly terrifying at the top but worth it!
Another bucket list sorted, but my goodness the heat!!….,😓
The building is truly an icon.
Not only is it the tallest but its the most beautiful. Its my favourite example of architecture
Best! I love Dubai
I'll be honest, that building is an eyesore.
You can't believe your eyes when you see it❤️
I HAVE BEEN TO THE TOP FLOOR OF BURJ KHALIFA AND DAMN THE VIEW IS LIT
I’m curious, is it an elevator that goes all the way up to the highest floor from the ground floor?
@@JayDosss no its not
@@JayDosss nah, only stairs
I worked on it, as a Design Manager, but never went above the 20th floor.
Nice video.
There aren't miracles,
There are Marvels,
Engineering Marvels.
Most beautiful buildings in the world
The burg deffines what human beings are capable of in the plant 🔥🎓
Very interesting! 🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋
We need video on oblisco capitale !!!
Wow 😮 beautiful
does anybody remember or can document/give reference when did foundation works were completed (the date) and when the superstructure works started?
U forget to told the contract was given to samsung c&t and build by samsung c&t itself.
Interesting
Well I went to burj Khalifa and they were like mini screens on the wall as we were walking that showed how burj khalifa was built and when
I think it would take a bit of courage to travel to the top floor !
Humans are so fkn cool man. The fact we can build this shit. Absolutely WILD.
Okay but tell me about the sewage
SAMSUNG IS THE MAIN CONTRACTOR
Having said all that, the Burj does not have a sewage system and wastewater needs to be trucked away every single day...
Totally untrue. Don't make things up. BTW I live in Dubai and work near the BK.
Great video, but I would’ve liked more then 7 mins on a technological marvel?
there's loads of other documentaries tho
What is the source for this information?
Great video! Do the Pearl Qatar Next!
wow im speechless
Emaar built it mashaalah
What a modern marvel 👏
Hey cutie is that you in the dp?
Makadtoan ko rin yan.. 😊😊😊
Mighty impressive construction 💙💛
India can’t that big skyscraper, as india doesn’t have a good water supply for big skyscrapers it’s very hard for Indian to supply water
I hate India 🇮🇳 so much to me it’s like a lion den
Nothing is built like that in Mumbai .
The plan where scraped because of wealth inequality activities .
Yet its not connected to sewage lol
😍😍
Wow
There's a lot of, what is essentially, forced labour in Dubai. The workers live in terrible conditions. Just dropped it for ya'. Give it a Google. I don't think I can ever get behind the state until their humans rights indices increase. Impressive stuff, regardless and I imagine they were fairer, it would still be just as striking to see and learn about.
One job I wouldn't want is being a Window Washers @ Wow.

The construction workers:
I'm.. 50 a.n.d m.y. husband 54 we are both retired with over $3 million in net worth and no dept's. Currently living smart and frugal with our money.serving and investing life style in the stock market made it possible for us this early even till now we earn weekly. Thanks to fire movement.
I'm a young dad, I'm really glad to hear your story it inspires me.
What is fire movement please.?
@@ricojames4719 Fire means Financial Independence Retire Early.
It's been a movement teaching people financial independence and how to retire debt free through solid investment and frugal lifestyle.
@@isabellagrayson8583 Thanks for replying I will read more about fire movement.
check the Iconic tower in Egypt , it will be the tallest building in africa
Oblisco Capital right?
@@people6484 no the Oblisco capital tower they will build it in the future and it will be the tallest tower in the world , but for now they are building the iconic tower in the new capital and it`s the tallest tower in africa. btw they finished building it .
Adam Something viewers give attendance
Present Sir
Right here
LOVE TO SEE WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN TO THAT OIL RICH COUNTRY WHEN TESLA'S FREE ENERGY COMERS TO FRUITION & WE DON'T NEED GAS OR OIL....
Theres a potential, if they have everything in that building, a child could be born there and never see the outside world till adulthood.
It looks great, on the outside. But did you know, they have to truck the sewage waste everyday to the treatment center?
It looks equally great on the inside as well.
Its a 4327 story building
Amazing! How did they even manage to build a sewage system for that colossus?
Thy didn’t. It is not connected to the city sewer
@@MrKnutriis it is
It was worth
it was built by the burg of kaleefa
No way india is going to build a taller building our economic conditions are not that great at the time and the country is most likely to save money for future expenses
I wouldnt go there even if they offer it.
what they did to the workers that went there to build their buildings was disgusting.
Q: How The Burj Khalifa Was Built?
A: Oil
Lol.
No it wasn't. Abu Dhabi has some oil. Dubai has almost Zero Oil. and there is a big return on investment from just 1.5 Billion $ Not to mention attracting millions of visitors per year to Dubai. To put this cost into context, the US Military Budget is around 700 Billion per year. Enough to build 450 Burj Khalifas EVERY YEAR. That's enough to fill every major city in the US with more than One similar building EVERY YEAR. Dubai is a mindset other countries should learn from.
@@moeed789 Dafuq u talking about kid? the military expenditure of the usa last year are just 3.7 percent of the GDP while uae are at 5.6 percent of GDP, and without that usa military expenditure iran will eats u alive so respect that, stop talking about two cities like they are from different countries lol, you said millions of visitors.. bruh they people go to dubai to see the fucking oil money thats it nothing to see there without the oil money theres just fucking sand where you can see it everywhere in africa and saudi arabia
How many people accidentally died during its construction ?
@@peekaboo7958 calm down dont be jealous bro 🥰 Dubai is not modelled on oil, its a fact
This should be underwater
Burj Khalifa a tower made from the bloods of millions of migrant people
Tall buildings are eye catching but not ver practical in my view. If I had the where with all to invest in something unique I would, instead, design a new city in a desert clime somewhere. It would be a domed structure reaching a height of just under ten thousand feet high. Within it would be an entire city, self contained, managed in a very disciplined way. No automobiles allowed. No homeless allowed. No illegal drugs allowed. Controlled underground access via high speed rail ftrom trusted, well established ports of departure. Politics? None. No conflict between "left" and "right" nor any conflicts of interest between any religions. The idea would be to move away from the traditional human settlement andd into something entirely new. It would be a design model and testing platform for future cities on other planets.
Tall structures, when slender, are interesting from an engineering scholastic point of view but they are impractical. Consider all the time and money invested for a very limited amount of floor space. Consider also the load per sq meter on the base. A dome structure is very light in this respect. It almost floats on it's base no matter the material. And wind resistance? A dome, properly made of appropriate material, can withstand the strongest winds ever recorded on our planet. Domes make a lot more sense than any tall building on a small base.
Dubai is filled with the most bs architecture on earth, it's almost like they looked at the worst parts of American architecture and said... yea, we can make this shit worse. Instead of investing with good urban planning and well thought out architecture with an Identity. - Adam something
@Alvin 1234 Burj Khalifa, dubai architecture and urban planning hater yes. Why invest in that American looking bs with more engineering failures that incorporating a proper plumbing and sewage system instead of using shit collection trucks daily. Dubai could have invested in modernizing Arab architecture and being functional, innovative and unique. Instead they're some weird and worse Las Vegas and other gimmicky American rip off.
Investing in Bitcoin should be in every wise individuals list in few months time you will be escatic with the decision you made today
I recently started investing in bitcoin and I have been making good profits
@Shania dylan stocks are good but Crypto is better
1.5 billion???
Btw I walked for hours in burj khalifa
Allahu Akbar
Not worth $100 ! You have to line up even if you booked to go up the tower and access is limited to one particular floor where you can see parts of Dubai. You can vouchers on groupon cheaper than purchasing at the sales desk of the Burj Khalifa that's if you really insist on going to the top . I had better views from hotels nearby especially in the winter when it is foggy, I booked 55th floor of one of the hotels on sheikh zayed Road and that was much better
It doesn't cost 100$ to visit the upper floors, it's not even half that. Packages start from 150AED which is 40$ And you can even get it for free through some offers in the city
Did he just say “humid desert environment”? Doesn’t seem right to me
Technically Antarctica is a desert with high humidity ...
@@simonalison1014 Perhaps high 'relative' humidity but that's only because it's so frigid cold. The feature that is common to all deserts, including Antarctica, is very low absolute humidity/moisture content
And the cure for cancer?🤔🤔🤔
😁😁😁
Like wiz kalifa lol
No sewer systems 😷
Please stop comparing stuff to how often you can stretch it around the world. It's not very helpful.
yo
Although it is impressive, it is nothing more than a show piece.
Its not like they cant build sideways - plenty of space. An ego trip for the emirates. Not my cup of tea sorry.

What I don't get is, people criticise a building which is an investment and a visionary achievement for a country, yet they don't see that it is just a drop in an ocean of investment in KILLING Actual human beings
Forgot to mention that the biggest and most glamorous building in the world doesn’t even have a sewage system and that trucks need to line up every day to clear out the waste from the building.
Complete myth
@@legonathcadde what is the true story?
I read too much hate, #1. I am a contractor in the USA they don't pay us good and they pay us 9 months after we build something, this isn't slavery? Sewer was not a problem for me,I pooped and didn't see the toilet getting clogged. One thing we will never have in the USAis an spotless city like Dubai has, just go to Los Angeles and see how disgusting our US cities are. Dubai keep the good work 👏
A needless building build with slave labor and not even connected to a sewage system and poop trucks have to empty out the building everyday day. Some glamour!
In a country where everyone is on the take and there are no building codes and things are built with slave labor, I'd rather just not go there no less go into that death trap of a building.
Slaves from South Asia*. And the countless who died.
All of this and they don't even have a sewage system
" Burj Dubai" would have been a better name
they will be kicking themselves that they didn't think of that.
No need to watch video, they made using slavery .
Already we have enough such high rise buildings across globe. Further investment in future construction of such High rise buildings...it's absolute waste of resources n money.
BTW ...ur all videos are very interesting.
I have suggestions... Your fast pace commentary is very irritating 😜. Pls speak slowly 👍

Sadly many of these building were being built with slaves!!
Something never looked at too closely.
Waste of money project.
Modern day slavery
Ohhh nooo, it's the poop trucks!!!
In remembrance of all those slaves labor workers from.south Asia.
Someone gets it
India
Dubai is the Future.💥🌍🌎🏙️
Very impressive structure.
However, I wouldn't travel to Dubai if you paid me. All that glitter and bling. Yet outside the city most of the population lives in cesspool squalor, poverty, slums and pollution.
Seems a bit paradoxical don't you think?
Only the immigrant construction workers
