About Burj Khalifa 

This world’s tallest building, Burj Khalifa, is built at a height of about 828 meters from the ground, and is visible from about 100 kilometers away. It was constructed in 2009 and officially opened in 2010. It took 6 years to construct this, as construction began in 2004. The chief designer of this skyscraper is Adrian Devaun Smith, and it was earlier named a Burj Dubai, but was later renamed to Burj Khalifa in honour of the ruler of Abu Dhabi, Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan. 

Burj Khalifa’s engineering and architecture was handled by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill of Chicago, known for building Sears Towers in Chicago, also one of the tallest buildings. It was actually constructed by Samsung C&T of South Korea. Samsung C&T group has also built Petronas Towers and Merdeka 118 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, Taipei 101 in Taipei, Taiwan and Saudi Stock Exchange Tadawul Tower in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The cost of building Burj Khalifa was approximately $1.5 billion.

Burj Khalifa, which has 163 floors, cost around Rs 20 thousand crore. The price of a 1 BHK flat in this building is around Rs 4 crore today. For a 4-minute advertisement on its display, the cost is around Rs 2.33 crore. 

India’s role in its strength?

But do you know that Ratan Tata’s TATA company has an important role in burj khalifa, from its construction to keeping it cool in the desert heats. 

• ‘Indian steel’ from Tata steel was used in the construction of the Burj Khalifa, making it stand as the tallest skyscraper. As per reports, Tata has provided 39 thousand tons of steel, and 400 crore square meters of floor has been constructed in the entire building. 3,30,000 cubic meters of concrete was also used in the construction, which is equal to the weight of 1,00,000 elephants.
• Burj Khalifa is built in the middle of the Arabian desert, and the Dubai heat is extreme. However, Burj Khalifa stays cool from the inside, all thanks to Voltas AC of the Indian company Tata. They installed an air conditioning system with a capacity of about 13,000 tons in Burj Khalifa. Voltas has completed many international projects, which include the cooling work of the largest ocean liner RMS Queen Mary 2, Oman Sultanate Palace, Bahrain City Center Mall, Ferrari World Theme Park in Abu Dhabi, Sidra Medical and Research Center in Qatar.
