Watch the BBC first on iPlayer 👉 bbc.in/iPlayer-Home The world's tallest building, the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, has the world's highest windows. Dallas joins the team whose heart-stopping job it is to clean them.
Supersized Earth traces the spectacular story of how humans have transformed our world in a generation. In this awe-inspiring three-part series, Dallas Campbell travels the globe, visiting the world's largest and most ambitious engineering projects, exploring the power of human ingenuity and the making of the modern world.
In this episode, Dallas explores how we have been redesigning the planet as we build ever more astonishing places to live. In Dubai, he climbs to the very top of the world's tallest building - over half a mile above the desert sand - to help clean the highest windows in the world; and he explores how desert wastelands have been transformed into bristling forests of skyscrapers as we've conquered the sky and turned it into a place we can call home.
In China, the rate of change is accelerating as millions move into the cities; to keep pace, they have learned to erect 30-storey buildings in under three weeks. The world is changing underneath our feet too; Dallas dives beneath Mexico City with one of the two-man team whose unenviable job it is to keep the city sewers flowing, before examining a very new-world solution to this age-old problem.

    Sun Beam MImi we don’t know all THAT much about the ancients... I believe they had a lot of technologies and were actually quite intelligent and advanced in their own right. They didn’t have computers or combustion engines but their knowledge of forces and tools, and mechanical technologies I’m sure allowed them to build the pyramids. Though it would have still been painstakingly slow. Either that or it was aliens.

    I have always been scared of heights throughout my 67 years, but now over the past ten years I have started hill and ridge walking (like the CMD arête) where it is high and steep enough to frighten, but I have forced myself to come to terms with it to conquer my fear. I find one I am up there and occupied I am ok - as the say 'don't look down'. Nice to see Dubai from so high, my late wife and I spent much time there when we lived and worked in the Middle East (Qatar and later Kuwait). We would fly down for a days shopping and sometimes, like over Christmas and the New Year spent a week of two. The Dubai Metro Railway had just started being built when we first went in 2007. I still have all the gold and diamond jewellery that I bought Maureen in the Gold Souqs on those visits, even though she has been gone 5 years, wonderful happy memories.

    Windows come in many shapes and sizes. Stains come in many forms, from rain drops to bird shit. Squeegee blades need replacing, machines break down. You'd need a custom solution for every building. It won't be perfect, it'll still leave streaks and mess. You'll need RA techs to go over for maintenance anyways. It takes less than a week to train and certify a RA tech in the skills to clean any window of any size. They'll be more thorough and they don't need maintenance. Logistically it's just easier this way, and who knows how much those machines will cost to design and implement.

Really the worst part of window cleaning is the long term effect on your health from repetitive stress of holding a squeegee and torquing your finger and wrist joints. I have some serious osteoarthritis in my fingers from 28 years of window cleaning.
