Megastructures: Building the Burj Al Arab | Dubai Engineering Documentary | Reel Truth Science

Hats off to all workers who made it. Their hardwork must be appreciated.

The narrator has a dynamic voice.wonderful voice.as he is trying telling step by step we can see ourselves right there in Dubai watching the building being constructed in a awe inspiring way.great.that shows how wonderfully humans are made in gods image. Almighty has created man with great mind .he has given them the power to do great things.

I was posted to physical procurement department as finance manager and I had to work with external and internal architects, quantity surveyors, structural engineers, contractors, electrical electronics engineers etc. My job was to provide Management with financials on how the various projects would be completed within specified time to avoid cost over runs. I had to rush to youtube for a crash program on construction management and this clip is one of the best I saved and used over and over again. I remember one project we had that was intractable at first. We were to build our branch in Yenegoa, a coastal town by the Atlantic. All the elements of the above clip came into play. The city itself was just 98 meters above sea level, unknown to us was an underground river and so many other challenges but I was very comfortable as the engineers and architects were discussing the technicalities, thanks to this clip amongst others.

This narrator is just the best

When an architect meets that dream client; bold vision, no red tape, and an infinite budget.

As an architect in training, i can tell you that this is an amazing structure. i participate in architecture everyday, i was amazed. The real architect is the budget.

The engineering is absolutely insane, it is true though “architect’s dream is the engineer’s nightmare”

You live ,you sleep, you breath the building indeed

The architect who dreams big and the engineer who makes it happen.

The engineering is crazy but the construction aspect of it is what truly amazes me, the amount of work that goes into the construction of it and the work the construction people do.

This video is a fountain of knowledge.

So much time and effort to materialize this building and hotel..Amazing skills of well-skilled Engineers!!

It's a perfect example of scientific explanation. Science can do sort of anything

Its crazy to think the workers put the most renowned hotel on earth would barely own a house

A marvel of human intelligence indeed❤

Amazing engineering. Just incredible how creative and ingenious mankind can be when properly motivated.

One of the best documentaries ever

A wonder of the world befitting

My husband and I stayed there for 3 nights back in 2005.It definitely was a once-in-a-lifetime experience.It had been on my bucket list ever since I first saw a photograph of it.Good job I made our trip happen because later on my husband had health problems and was unable to travel.Ever since that first visit we fell in love with Dubai and to this day still adore it.I have visited many times and hope to go to the 2021 Expo.

So much respect to the ones who actually constructed it!!!
