BurjKhalifa

Described as both a ‘Vertical City’ and ‘A Living Wonder,’ Burj

Khalifa, at the heart of downtown Dubai, is also the world’s

tallest building.

Developed by Dubai-based Emaar Properties PJSC,

Burj Khalifa rises gracefully from the desert and honors

the city with its extraordinary union of art, engineering and

meticulous craftsmanship.

At 828 meters (2,716.5 feet), the equivalent of a 200

story building, Burj Khalifa has 160 habitable levels, the most

of any building in the world. The tower was inaugurated on

January 4, 2010, to coincide with the fourth anniversary of

the Accession Day of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin

Rashid Al Maktoum Vice President and Prime Minister of

the UAE and Ruler of Dubai.

Arguably the world’s most interesting construction

project, Burj Khalifa is responsible for a number of world-ﬁrsts.

The tower became the world’s tallest man-made structure

just 1,325 days after excavation work started in January 2004.

Burj Khalifa utilized a record-breaking 330,000 cubic

meters (430,000 cubic yards) of concrete;

21008_BI.indd 2 08/03/2011 6:32 PM

39,000 tons of steel reinforcement; 103,000 square meters

(1.1 million square feet) of glass; and 15,500 square meters

(167,000 square feet) of embossed stainless steel. The tower

took 22 million man-hours to build.

With a total built-up area of 526,000 square

meters (5.67 million square feet), Burj Khalifa features

170,000 square meters (1.85 million square feet)

of residential space, over 28,000 square meters

(300,000 square feet) of oﬃce space, with remaining area

occupied by a luxury hotel.

In 2003, as a result of an international design competition,

Skidmore, Owings & Merrill LLP (SOM) was selected from

a group of ﬁve international competitors to carry out the

architecture and engineering of the Burj Khalifa.

With famous architecture in the Haj Terminal at Jeddah

Airport and National Commercial Bank, SOM is no stranger

to Middle Eastern design. SOM incorporated patterns and

elements from traditional Islamic architecture, but

the most inspiring muse was a regional desert ﬂower, the

Hymenocallis, whose harmonious structure is one of the

organizing principles of the tower’s design. Three ‘petals’

are arranged in a triangular shape and uniﬁed at the center,

and instead of repeated identical patterns, the architectural

plan appoints successively receding and rotated stories.

The Y-shaped plan is ideal for residential and hotel usage,

with the wings allowing maximum outward views and inward

natural light. Viewed from above or from the base, the tips

of the Y-shaped plan evokes the onion domes of Islamic

architecture. During the design process, engineers rotated

the building 120 degrees from its original layout to reduce

stress from prevailing winds.

Architecturally, the building transforms itself from a solid

base expression to a vertically expressed middle section of

polished stainless steel projected metal ﬁns and glass. Only

vertical elements were used here, as the ﬁne dust in Dubai’s

air would build up on any horizontal projecting elements.

21008_BI.indd 5 08/03/2011 6:30 PM

To support the unprecedented height of the building,

the engineers developed a new structural system called

the buttressed core, which consists of a hexagonal core

reinforced by three buttresses that form the ‘Y’ shape. Each

wing, with its own high performance concrete corridor walls

and perimeter columns, buttresses the other wings through

a connection to the six-sided central core, or hexagonal

hub. The result is a tower that is exteremly stiﬀ laterally and

torsionally.

Each tier of the building sets back in a spiral stepping

pattern up the building. The setbacks are organized

with the tower’s grid, such that the building stepping is

accomplished by aligning columns above with walls below

to provide a smooth load path. This allows the construction

to proceed without the normal diﬃculties associated with

column transfers.

The setbacks are organized such that the tower’s width

changes at each setback. The advantage of the stepping

and shaping is to ‘confuse the wind’. The wind vortices are

never allowed to build up because at each new tier the wind

encounters a diﬀerent building shape.

This structural system enables the building to support itself

laterally and keeps it from twisting.

At the top, the central core emerges and transitions to

a special steel framed structure which is sculpted to form a

ﬁnished spire. The spire of Burj Khalifa is composed of more

than 4,000 tons of structural steel.

The building utilizes high-speed, non-stop shuttle

elevators to sky lobby ﬂoors where passengers transfer to

local elevators serving the ﬂoors in between.

Burj Khalifa has 57 elevators

and 8 escalators. Travelling

at 10 meters/sec (33 feet/

sec) per second, they have

the world’s longest travel

distance from lowest to

highest stop. The building

service/ﬁreman’s elevator

will have a capacity of 5,500

kilograms (12,000 pounds)

and is the world’s tallest

service elevator.

To achieve the greatest

eﬃciencies, the mechanical,

electrical and plumbing

services for Burj Khalifa

were developed all together

during the design phase of

the tower in cooperation with

the architect, structural

engineers and other consultants. The tower’s water

system supplies an average of 946,000 liters (250,000

gallons) of water daily. At peak cooling, Burj Khalifa will

require about 10,000 tons of cooling, equal to the cooling

capacity provided by about 10,000 tons of melting ice. Dubai’s

hot, humid climate combined with the building’s cooling

requirements creates a signiﬁcant amount of condensation.

This water is collected and drained in a separate piping system

to a holding tank in the basement car park. The condensate

collection system provides about 57 million liters (15 million

gallons) of supplement water per year, equal to about 20

Olympic-sized swimming pools. The tower’s peak electrical

demand is 50 MVA, equivalent to roughly 500,000 100-watt

light bulbs all operating at the same time.

With the design and engineering of Burj Khalifa, Skidmore,

Owings & Merrill LLP (SOM), joined forces with Dubai based

developers, Emaar Properties PJSC, to redeﬁne what was

possible with supertall buildings.

With a portfolio that includes some of the most

important architectural accomplishments of the 20th and

21st centuries, including the John Hancock Center and Willis

(formerly Sears) Tower, SOM was perfectly placed to carry

out this challenging task.

To create Burj Khalifa — a building that shatters all

previous height records at 828 meters (2,716.5 feet) — a team of

more than 90 designers and engineers combined cutting edge

technology and culturally-inﬂuenced design to create a

global icon that will serve as a model for future urban centers.
