현존 부르즈 칼리파에 이은 차세대 세계 최고의 빌딩
두바이 크리크 타워 Dubai Creek Tower
작년 11월에 착공한 두바이 크리크 타워의 기초 건설공사가 안전사고 없이 완료됐다.
기초공사 시 무려 54만 m3의 흙을 퍼냈으며 콘크리트만 21만톤 철근 1만5천톤이 들어갔다.
그리고 최대 깊이 약 70m 짜리 145개 기초파일이 시공됐다.
스페인/스위스 합작 건축회사인 산티아고 칼라트라바(Santiago Calatrava)사가 설계했으며
획기적인 360도 조망 디자인을 반영했다.
두바이 크리크 타워의 최종 높이는 아직 결정되지 않았으며 1,080m~1,324m 사이에서
결정될 것으로 보고 있다.
한국의 삼성물산이 시공에 참여했던 현존 최고 빌딩인 두바이 부르즈 칼리파 빌딩의 816m에
비하면 비교될 수 없는 높이라는 것을 알 수가 있다.
또하나의 세계 최고층 빌딩은 사우디 제다에 건설 중인 제다타워(Jeddah Tower,킹덤타워)가 있다.
167층에 최종 높이는 1,007m(기사에는 992m)로 현재까지 56층이 시공됐다.

공교롭게도 두바이 크리크타워와 사우디 제다 타워는 2020년에 동시에 준공 계획으로 있다.

In October of last year, officials in Dubai held a groundbreaking ceremony for the Dubai Creek Tower, a building which is expected to surpass the reigning “tallest building” champion, the Burj Dubai. Flash forward just a few short months and over a million hours of labor have already been spent on the project, all accident free.
According to the progress report, over 6 million cubic feet of soil has been removed from the site for foundation work, over 211,000 tons of concrete have been placed, 15,000 tons of steel rebar cages installed, and one hundred forty-five 236-feet-deep concrete piles have been installed.

Designed by Santiago Calatrava, who is best known for his bridges, the tower will have several observation decks boasting some of the best views of the surrounding area.
The final height of the building has yet to be announced, which is common for supertall buildings, as those involved want to avoid tipping their hand to fellow supertall building developers. It’s expected that the tower will end up between 3,600 feet and 4,413 feet tall. The Burj Khalifa is 2,722 feet tall.
Many are expecting the Jeddah Tower, located in Saudi Arabia, to be taller than the Dubai Creek Tower when it is completed around 2020, the same year the Dubai Creek Tower is also expected to be completed. The initial estimate for total height for the Jeddah is 3,307 feet. Contractors on the Jeddah Tower have already built 56 stories on the tower and you can see a bird’s eye view of the progress by clicking here.
Either way, it seems all but certain that the Burj Khalifa’s record as world’s tallest will soon be shattered.
Check out the video below to see how the foundation work on the Dubai Creek Tower was completed.
