Burj Khalifa

Burj Khalifa

With a total height of 829.8 m and a roof height of 828 m, the Burj Khalifa is currently the tallest building in the World, and it has held this record since its topping out in 2009.

The building was originally named Burj Dubai but was renamed in honor of the ruler of Abu Dhabi and president of the United Arab Emirates, Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan.

This iconic skyscraper immediately became the symbol of the government of Dubai’s plan to transform the city into a touristic hub and to gain international recognition.

The tower’s structural system consists of reinforced concrete construction from foundation to Level 156; above Level 156 is predominantly a spire, consisting of a structural steel braced frame system. It used 330,000 m3 of concrete and 55,000 tons of steel rebar.

The foundation system is a piled raft: a 3.7 m thick raft supported by 1.5 m diameter bored piles with a diameter of 1.5 m each, extending 50 m below the raft base.

Numerous pile load tests were carried out on the piles of the tower. Crosshole Sonic logging (CSL) testing was also carried out for integrity testing of concrete foundation on a number of works piles, using 20km of Dextra Sonitec tubes.

Sonitec is a simple, fast, and reliable tube solution used for the CSL testing. The system is compliant with ASTM D6760, the standard method for integrity testing by ultrasonic cross-hole testing.

Moreover, more than 100,000 Bartec couplers were supplied for piled-raft extension and reinforcement.
