Sirdhana by Emaar MINA RASHID a UNIQUE HERITAGE
Sirdhana by Emaar MINA RASHID A UNIQUE HERITAGE... From fishermen and pearl divers to dhow builders and traders, few cities in the world can boast such richness of maritime history. Memories of Dubai are inherently tied to the sea. Since the early 1900s, rich cargoes from across the world have been traversing its shores. By the 1970s, the soaring trade of Dubai, or ‘City of Merchants’ as it was fondly called, demanded a new infrastructure; the late Sheikh Rashid bin Saeed Al Maktoum conceived the idea of dredging Dubai Creek to allow large shipping vessels to enter. Sheik Rashid’s dream flourished to become the commercial centre between the east and the west - MINA RASHID. | 02 | ...SAILS INTO THE FUTURE THE PLUSH COASTAL LIFE MINA RASHID is the epitome of sophistication and glamour. Luxury homes, gleaming white yachts, sun-kissed beaches and lavish boat parties are the everyday life in this vibrant coastal town.

Vorster & G. Wojtowitz Aurecon, Pretoria, South Africa ABSTRACT: Pile design is an inexact science. For the proposed mega-tall Dubai Creek Tower, the central core foundation comprises large, high-strength reinforced concrete barrettes. Conventional design methodologies require conservative empirical ground parameter choices that may lead to overly-conservative design, impacting construction time and cost. For tall buildings in the Middle East, designers have taken note of the challenge of meeting tight construction timelines, but not being able to gain more efficiency from the ground. This led to several advances in the selection of ground parameters and requirements for ground investigation and full-scale testing as reported for the Burj Khalifa and Nakheel Tall Tower, for instance.

Wojtowitz Aurecon, Pretoria, South Africa ABSTRACT: Innovation has many definitions. For the purpose of this paper the authors lead with the definition stating that for something or some process to be called an innovation, an idea must be replicable at an econom- ical cost and must satisfy a specific need. Innovation involves deliberate application of information, imagination and initiative in deriving greater or different values from resources. In this paper we illustrate the innovative design process applied for the Dubai Creek Tower. Innovation was required due to the immense time pressure and challenging foundation installation depths foreseen using conventional design and construction techniques. By using combinations of total engineering geology approach, efficient parameter choice and choice of param- eter range application, full-scale testing, high-end finite element modelling, modular design and iterative pro- cess between the architect, the structural and geotechnical designers an efficient foundation system for the iconic Dubai Creek Tower was developed, by design.
