Jeddah Tower, Saudi Arabia’s landmark mega tall mixed-use tower, achieved a construction milestone last year, surpassing 80 floors by December.
When completed, it will exceed 1,000 metres, becoming the first human-made structure to reach a full kilometre, said Thornton Tomasetti, a leading US engineering consulting firm, involved in the mega project.
Thornton Tomasetti is providing structural design services to Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill Architecture, combining bespoke high-performance designs with advanced structural systems and materials, in close co-ordination with the project team, including Langan Engineering & Environmental Services, RWDI, Dar and Saudi Binladin Group (SBG).-TradeArabia News Service
