Megastructures: Building the Burj Al Arab | Dubai Engineering Documentary | Reel Truth Science
Ғылым және технология
Dubai is on a mission: to become to top tourist destination on the planet. This Emirate has almost tripled its coast line, by building a palm-shaped city at sea. Now Dubai plans to put itself firmly on the map by recreating the world, three hundred man-made islands constructed out in the Arabian gulf. It’s the biggest reclamation project ever undertaken. The world can only be built of natural elements they demand by the shape. But it must define nature’s most destructive force: the sea. Engineers will battle against time and nature to create this man-made wonder visible from space. But will this creation of this mega structure push Dubai to the limit?

I was posted to physical procurement department as finance manager and I had to work with external and internal architects, quantity surveyors, structural engineers, contractors, electrical electronics engineers etc. My job was to provide Management with financials on how the various projects would be completed within specified time to avoid cost over runs. I had to rush to youtube for a crash program on construction management and this clip is one of the best I saved and used over and over again. I remember one project we had that was intractable at first. We were to build our branch in Yenegoa, a coastal town by the Atlantic. All the elements of the above clip came into play. The city itself was just 98 meters above sea level, unknown to us was an underground river and so many other challenges but I was very comfortable as the engineers and architects were discussing the technicalities, thanks to this clip amongst others.
As an architect in training, i can tell you that this is an amazing structure. i participate in architecture everyday, i was amazed. The real architect is the budget.
The engineering is absolutely insane, it is true though “architect’s dream is the engineer’s nightmare”

So much respect to the ones who actually constructed it!!!
I work in the steel building industry but nothing like this. The engineering it takes to build something on this scale is truly amazing. And this documentary covers all the other aspects also which is awesome. The engineering, electrical, interior design etc. Just awesome. It's beautiful.
The engineering and all the other feats in constructing this building are all great but what strikes me the most is Dubai's determination to ensure the stability of their economy for future generations. They've really prepared for that day when their rich natural resource won't be the one sustaining them anymore. Now if only the whole world can be like that too.

It was an Architect's as well as a Sultan's dream but the nightmare for all engineers. Though this type of Engineering Marvels were built in The Ancient India e.g. 'The Tajmahal' by The Mughals & 'The Caves of Ajanta & Ellora' by The Cholas and 'The Pyramids' by The Kings of Ancient Egypt while so much scientific techniques weren't available on those days. Hats off to all workers who done these as well as their hardwork must be appreciated. Witnessing the construction of 'The Burj Al Arab' please don't forget the Ancient Heroes.
History to Load, What are visionary leader. God help Nigeria
If my son tells me he wants to be an engineer when he grows up, I will show him this video and say to him, “ be an engineer if you want headaches, be an architect if you want to give other people headaches. Your choice.”

Dubai you are a mazing city 🏙️🌆 ever
Great job to the architect and engineers but kudos to all my south Asian people who shed their blood, sweat, and tears in scorching hot weather building the UAE.
Liked how all teams worked together!
The building is really a testament to the innovative architectural and engineering accomplishments of everyone who worked on it. They all did incredible work. As awesome as the building is in terms of its design and engineering, this project wasn't just a luxury hotel but part of a large-scale economic strategy that had real, tangible importance for the people of Dubai. Their leader saw a looming economic crisis and basically said "oh fuck that," and threw their state's resources into creating a new economic future. Taking that risk is not easy (likely not even for the ultra-rich).
I like it how this documentary was able to show how each and evey profession worked hand in hand to create a marvelous and spectacular architectural and engineering masterpiece! Kudos to the whole team! 🙌💪👊👏
With respect.. A great documentary.. In a unique ..construction like this.. It requires a team effort.. No one person .. Will be able to construct..something so complicated.. God Bless
I miss Dubai....i hope i come back soon
The documentary makes me appreciate the structure and the milestones the archtect, engineers, constractor, the interior designers and others had to overcome to come up with this master piece. A photo with the building in the background as an excited tourist didnt do justice.
A wonder of the world befitting
This is phenomenal from start to finish 👌. We look forward to creating something extraordinary in the nearest future.

Hello 🌹🤩
I will love to visit this remarkable hotel in Dubai the (Burj Al Arab) in the UAE 2022!
What a stunning building. Well done lads and lassies what a grand job you all did. I was an admin assistant in an Architects firm and i know when the clients aren't happy the shite can hit the fan and contracts can get pulled without warning. Changes happen all the time and once everything is finalized it can still change it is not over until it meets every stage of planning and the doors open with everything certified. No short cuts allowed. What a cracking building with all the princes upgrades its no wonder that it costs so much to stay there a night. Way way way out of my price range that is for darned sure.

Works were paid £5 daily or $US190 per month. Four folks died apparently during its construction. How many more have sustained longer term health effects in the heat of day and cold of night in its 24 hr per day race to complete? Just trying to get fair representation for those who can’t represent themselves; either because they are dead or because they are disempowered or their voices to be heard.
