Pearl Dubai, a leading real estate developer in the UAE, has completed 50 per cent of the foundation works in the ‘Dubai Pearl’ development, with the completion of the raft pouring in the South Tower on the project.

The South Tower has a foundation slab which is 3.25 metres thick and 3,072 square meters in total area. Juxtaposed against the 8.07 meters excavation, the dimensions make it a major milestone in the project's construction timeline. The second raft pouring on the project was completed in a record time of 30 hours, according to a company statement.

The overall concrete pouring on the project’s four towers will consist of around 44000 cubic meters of concrete in the foundations containing over 4800 tonnes of steel reinforcements.

Located opposite the Palm Jumeirah island in the heart of Dubai Technology and Media Free Zone, Dubai Pearl is a landmark destination designed to offer great views of the Arabian Gulf and comprise commercial, retail, residential, hospitality and leisure components.

Dubai Pearl will also feature a 2,000-seater performing arts theatre to cater to the demands of Dubai’s growing cultural calendar and complement the project’s entertainment offering.-TradeArabia News Service
