KSA : Kingdom Tower (Mile-High Tower)

[rockstar08]

@rockstar08

Yes, preparation in terms of paying for the meal as we are talking about a restaurant.

In all seriousness then you are welcome if you will ever visit KSA and I will be around.

Arabian hospitality is world-renowned and since I am not yet fat, spoilt and filthy rich I think that I can be quite welcome.

In pictures: History is made at Kingdom Tower
Records already broken at new world's tallest building

JEC achieved new world records using latest technologies for high rise buildings' foundation construction - 270 piles were cast in situ reaching 105m below the natural ground level and with diametre that varies between 1.5–1.8m.

The raft is considered one of the world’s largest one-piece reinforced steel foundations with thickness ranging between 4.5–5m.

Both piles and raft are supported with anti-corrosion technologies to preserve the steel reinforcement using a constant electric current system known as the Cathodic Protection.

In addition, strain gauge instrumentation and load cells have been built-in to detect any changes in the soil and provide continuous readings about any environmental changes to the area around the foundations.

Check those two threads out. It will give you an idea how the country looks like. After all it is the size of Western Europe. Moreover the thread also contains photos from the entire Arab world, neighboring countries on the Arabian Peninsula and elsewhere in the Arab world etc.

Saudi Arabia in Pictures | Page 75

I think there are over 2000 photos in total if not more.

In 2018.

Wadi Jinn: Mystery or magnetism? | Arab News — Saudi Arabia News, Middle East News, Opinion, Economy and more.

In this video we tested the theory that cars speed when left in neutral in Wadi e Al Baida. Our car went to speeds of around 150km/hr with the car in neutral and without the driver pushing the accelerator.

I will gladly answer any question in the "Arabic Coffee shop" thread so we can stick to the topic here.

Arabic Coffee shop

P.S:

The people in the video seem to be from South Asia judging on the language so I predict that they might very well be your compatriots.

P.P.S.

Large parts of Hijaz in general is volcanic, magnetic and seismic too. Many extant and extinct volcanoes are found not far away from Madinah actually.

Please watch the video. it's a Youtube clip. Maybe that is why that you are unable to see? A shame if true.

It's basically reserve gravity and the same happens with water. It's common in mountainous regions in KSA and some other places in the world.

You can see many videos that confirm the phenomenon so it is correct and not a hoax. Nothing superstitious about it though. In the past people obviously were unable to explain it rationally. Now we can with science.

It's still a surreal experience though for people unaware of it.

Desperate pervert.

Arre bhai, appreciating sexy girls is not perversion! Unless you prefer boys!! Do you?

 

[al-Hasani]

@OrionHunter

I was joking. I thought that it was very clear, LOL? Just not the thread for such comments. Obviously not. I have been called a pervert too for posting Arabic belly dance videos etc. and other photos.

Let us leave it at that and return to the topic.

I would like to have cup of Tea in that tower with @al-Hasani and @Yzd Khalifa ..before the judgement day ..

...





Less expensive and much better. Perfect ! Viva SBG (Saudi Binladin Group), main contractor of project !


Note : Burj Khalifa, Main contractor : Samsung Engineering and Construction Company.

@Bubblegum Crisis



Saudi Binladin Group rocks! One of the biggest and most successful construction firms on earth! Nothing but praise from my side. The Bin Laden family is a respected family. 1 black sheep or not.

You better check this out!

 

[al-Hasani]

The cranes are up and running!

Is the tower a mile high or a kilometre high?

Does anyone know the co-ordinates or the exact area where this is being constructed as I want to check it out on Google Maps.

@Bubblegum Crisis

You should change the title of this thread my friend. 1 mile is about 1.6 km. The Kingdom Tower is "only" going to be 1007 meters tall. The plan was for it to be 1 mile tall but this idea was abandoned. Too risky and expensive today.

I can help you with that but you will not see anything other than the fundament and the enclosed area (as I recall it) because Google took the most recent photos months ago and the work is first getting started for real now.

Jeddah, Kingdom tower - Google Maps

It's between Jeddah and Thuwal. On that spot a whole new city is going to emerge.

Kingdom City (Jeddah) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Also KAEC (another new city from stretch) next to Jeddah is underway.

KAEC to have 2m people, projects worth $100bn on completion: CEO

King Abdullah Economic City - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

There is a hell lot of giant projects going on in Hijaz from new airports, ports, new huge industrial cities from the stretch, skyscrapers, huge residential projects, new universities, schools, roads, metros, railways, football stadiums, resorts, projects in Makkah and Madinah regarding Al-Masjid Al-Haram and Al-Masjid An-Nabawi etc.

That's positive. This project will be another hallmark.
