Dubai Creek Harbour tower foundation work completed

DUBAI, April 1, 2017

Dubai-based global developer Emaar Properties said The Tower at Dubai Creek Harbour is all set to rise with the  successful completion of the pile foundations for the global icon.

A joint venture with Dubai Holding, Dubai Creek Harbour is a magnificent waterfront city that will define the ambitious new face of Dubai’s future, according to a statement from Emaar.

The 6-sq-km Dubai Creek Harbour sits by the Dubai Creek, overlooking the Downtown Dubai skyline and is near the Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary, a biologically diverse wetland reserve and home to over 67 species of water birds, protected under the Unesco Ramsar Convention.

The Tower is also linked to a Retail District, one of the largest in the world, stated the Dubai developer.

In the coming days, the first structural facets of The Tower will be visible with several dedicated teams already on-site to accelerate the development work of The Tower at Dubai Creek Harbour, only 10 minutes from the Dubai International Airport.

According to Emaar, it has set a new world-first with the foundation work for The Tower at Dubai Creek Harbour.

The pile was tested to a load of over 36,000 tonnes – the maximum carried by a single foundation pile to date – and a statement on its strength and durability, stated the developer.

More than 145 barrette piles have been used to form the foundation for The Tower at Dubai Creek Harbour, designed by Spanish-Swiss architect Santiago Calatrava Valls.

With its perfect combination of super-strong foundation, The Tower at Dubai Creek will leverage the latest advances in construction and engineering for its on-schedule completion, when it will open doors to the world to several observation decks that offer 360-degree views of the city and beyond.

Among The Tower’s features are The Pinnacle Room and VIP Observation Garden Decks that recreate the splendour of the ‘Hanging Gardens of Babylon,’ one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, it stated.

The Tower adds incredible economic value to Dubai Creek Harbour where Emaar has unveiled exceptional residential projects including Creek Gate, Harbour Gate, The Cove, Dubai Creek Residences, Creekside 18, Harbour Views and Creek Horizon homes.

All have gained strong investor interest from the region and international markets, it added.-TradeArabia News Service
