DUBAI CREEK TOWER<br />

An Icon<br />

Rises<br />

In May 2018, Emaar completed the concrete placement for<br />

<strong>Dubai</strong> <strong>Creek</strong>’s Tower pile cap two months ahead of schedule.<br />

The pile cap is an approximately 20-metre thick multi-layered,<br />

tiered reinforced concrete top that covers and transfers the<br />

load to the foundation barrettes. To reach this milestone, more<br />

than 450 skilled professionals from across the world had to<br />

pour 50,000 cubic meters of concrete weighing about 120,000<br />

tonnes or the weight of the CN Tower in Canada. Additionally,<br />

16,000 tonnes of steel reinforcement was placed – just over<br />

twice the weight of the Eiffel Tower.<br />
