What's shocking is that the city allowed this building to get built and was unwilling to install a larger sewer line to transport the waste water to the treatment plant. They had some 10 years from initially planning to grand opening to get this line installed. One has to wonder why they didn't do it.

London already has a comprehensive sewer system, but London's new 'super sewer' - officially called The Thames Tideway Tunnel is due for completion in 2025 and will augment the current system. This 25 km long super sewer consists of tunnels with an internal diameter of 7.2 metres (24 feet) and runs deep under the River Thames. This project will cost a total of £4.9bn to complete when the £1.1bn spent for preparatory works is included. That's the civilised, sane way to develop a city and ready it for the future, rather relying on septic tanks.

The piping configuration we use in sanitary stacks to prevent blowouts and hydraulic jump are called velocity break. Additionally, the water closets that were mentioned as being installed on their own independent stacks were done as such to avoid being installed in the Suds Pressure Zone. As a union plumber, who builds highrises on the East Coast, it’s absolutely mind boggling to hear that the Emiratis built this city up without sufficient sanitary piping. Its a recipe for inefficiency, unsustainability, and, ultimately, disaster.

How deep is the hole in the ground for the footing of this massive structure?

Sounds like a good candidate for those new fangled self driving trucks.

On a positive note. It employs a lot of people.

Been there (Dubai), nothing but glitter and lights and tons of bling and expensive. However, they do have some fantastic architecture there. Many awesome buildings, an architects dream.

Did you watch the video (or saw it through the end)? The content creator said that the trucks wait for HOURS just to dump the wastes in the sewage treatment plant outside of the city.

Many of them get tired of waiting in line and just dump it in the desert somewhere or in man holes which lead straight to the sea. I remember this was a problem at one point no idea if it still is. Back at this time is was 3 even 4 days wait in the poop line.

It would be great if the good ol' USA could step in and have a direct pipeline built to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. in DC or to the entire state of Delaware.

I certainly would not criticise the architects, who must have known their profession well. Rather let us acknowledge that they designed what they were asked for and it was a conscious decision by the owner to design it this way. Perhaps the most astounding news in the video was the waiting time for the sewage tankers at the municipal treatment plant and one must assume that in a rapidly growing city like Dubai, this issue will be in the process of being resolved.

I am trying to adopt new way of solid waste management practices for my tall building Thanks from Ethiopia

It is true that the Burj Khalifa was not connected to the sewage system, but it was connected some time after its construction, people still think that it was not connected, I hope this rumor stops.

06:33 That image of the trucks show more than 13 cubic meter of storage. 1 cubic meter of pure water is 1 ton and a quick google seems to indicate that wastewater weight 70% of pure water. Therefor 13 cubic meter sewage would be 9,1 ton kg. Each truck is probably around 20 cubic meter.... Meaning a truck can take up to ca 11 ton. Seems to be more than one truck in that image to me... Is ALL sewage trucked out of the city? LoL

Burj khalifa is designed for 35000 occupancy , it has 900 residential flats assuming average of 4 residents per flat , they will use 500 litres of water per day for drinking pooping bathing washing etc. That's 1800 tons per day from the residents alone. I still haven't added the 2-3 kg poop/urine they do per day which will take the figure to roughly 9 tons more. So dear you need roughly 140 truckload to be moved out of the city and this for residents alone. Commercial offices , hotels , restaurants will add roughly 200 truckloads more. And one important detail you missed, sewage water is heavier than pure water. Your calculations are wrong ,13 cubic meter sewage should weight 14-15 tons and not 9 tons.

Matter of good commun sens missing!!! Thanks for precious information. 😭

Though there wasn't more technical breakup of the downward journey of sewage and sullage at top speed due to gravity, couldn't the Plumbing and Sanitary engineers have installed some hardware within the pipes to slow down the descent? - much like the suppressor that is screwed onto the handgun/rifle barrel to reduce the gunshot decibel levels? Or even intermediate service floors (every 5, 10 storeys) which, in addition to having water tanks and secondary MEPs system holds, could have a septic tank, which then connects to the next lower septic tank. Also, after the STPs successfully treat the sewage, the leftover sludge can be used for composting, manure, maybe generate a new topsoil in the otherwise arid desert lands...

So Dubai isn’t the land of tomorrow

Even though they didn't connect up the waste water sewerage plumbing first, I believe that even though they didn't connect the sewerage up the usual way first, I am thinking it is still be possible to run a new system "from the septic waste plant facility that would be only for this building alone, And they could build it underground running the most direct way, straight to this sky scrapper, the Burj Khalifa? even though things are usually done the other way around, I believe that if they wanted in the future I believe it could still happen, I mean if they haven't had any problems with the trucks transporting the waste, then I believe that while this method seems to be working fine now that they could still change over in the future to the other method, I believe that it would not be that much of an issue, if they built it from the waste facility to the building, obviously there would need to be one day within 24 hrs, for the change over process to occur, but that would be possible I would think.even if part of the Burj Khalifas sewerage system was changed over part by part over a few weeks, on the grand scale of things I wouldn't think that it was impossible at all, they could do that I believe, it seems like a big issue but if you are talking about big construction contracts for the future over the years ahead things could still logistically work out.

Sooner or later they will need to fix this problem. I think each year the fix will only cost millions and millions more. If only there were some other option available. They could turn the fountains into large waste water pools that are stirred and the water evaporates. The waste can then be used to grow crops? I think installing a sewer system is probably a better idea. Its all so fascinating and bewildering at the same time.

Yup not having a sewer connection would save a lot of money, It always seems the ones that have the money to install high quality plumbing are the ones who don't want to spend it on what you can't see, probably a grey water system and a separate sanitary soil drain also

The Indus Valley civilization which existed from 3300 BC to 1300 BC already had centralized sewage system back then. The Dubai civilization still can’t reach the level of the Indus Valley.😊

The poo reaches terminal velocity alright man im dying lol

One large road tanker should be able to clear all the liquid waste for one day. .13 tonnes of waste is about 13000 liters . Large trucks typically have capacities ranging from 5,500 to 11,600 US gallons (20,800 to 43,900 L; 4,580 to 9,660 imp gal).

Ironically this buildings architect firm is from Chicago, where City reversed River flow in order to send waste fluids directly out of town rather than poisoning Lake Michigan still used today as clean water source.

Thank you for obsessing over such a pleasant subject.

Architects have no business with building waste management. This is negative reporting. The engineers do. In a pumped sewer system dependent on electrical power the provision for sewer trucks is prudent whether a building is connected to the municipality trunk sewer system or not.

Kind of sums up Dubai, lots of glitz but you don't want to look behind the scenes.

I work for Dubai Government, this is very NOT TRUE, the only time when this use to happen is that when the building was being built and wasn't connected to the sewage plant, After Burj Khalifa was built it was connected to sewage plant in Al Wasan Area close to dragon Mart. Just Imagine all Dubai Town and all the buildings are all connected to a grease trap, that doesn't make sense, even thousands off trucks wouldn't be enough to carry the waste, there will be not space for fancy cars there. It will be just filled with trucks.

They simply haven't gotten yet the problem with the environment we have at the moment in increasing speed, In developed countries you wouldn't even get the permit for the building if there was no way to get rid of the wastewater. Yes, it is annoying to open the streets for new pipes, but that is the cost of living in a growing, misplanned town. They could at least use electric trucks charged with solar power - there is enough sun over there - to transport all this shit to the waste water plant.
