    - Height: The logistics of constructing a building


    of this height in unprecedented not only
    delivering the materials to the required level
    but also the OHS of the workers and the
    environmental factors.
    - Weight: This structure weighed in at 500,000
    tonne which required enormous footings and
    piles to manage the weight.
    - Heat: To build a structure this high it
    RISKS predominately needs a glass window façade
    but a regular window in the Dubai heat would
    turn the building into an oven. The design
    team needed to create a product which
    maximized the sunlight but reduced the UV
    and heat that comes with this.
    - Foundation: The foundation of the site wasn’t
    stable soil but weak sandstones and
    siltstones.
