How it happened? Tom Wills Wright,
architect with WS Atkins, quoted: "The brief was that the client asked to create a building that would become an icon for Dubai rather like the:
Sydney has its Opera House
USA has its Statue of Liberty
Egypt has its pyramids & Paris has its Eiffel Tower.

Phases of Construction
Construction in two phase:
Phase 1:
Construction of
Sub-structurePhase 2:
Construction of super-structure

CONTRUCTION PHASE 1
It was constructed by natural material Rocks & sand
They piled rocks at the depth of 24 ft. Building the artificial island took approx. 3 years.

Engineers created a surface layer of large rocks, which is circled with a concrete honeycomb pattern, It protects the foundation from erosion

Foundation Construction Process
2m diameter 43m deep piles driven through island and sea bed below to stabilize structure.

CONSTRUCTION PHASE 2
Phase 2 was all of the actual construction of the super structure.
The structure is one of the tallest structures in the world made from steel and concrete, the dead load of the structure is quite large.

It took 2 years to construct the building.
CONTD.
The building contains over 70,000 m3 of concrete and 9,000 tons of steel.

It is supported by a full Cantilever that extends 27 metres from the mast
