Megastructures: Building the Burj Al Arab | Dubai Engineering Documentary | Reel Truth Science
Dubai is on a mission: to become to top tourist destination on the planet. This Emirate has almost tripled its coast line, by building a palm-shaped city at sea. Now Dubai plans to put itself firmly on the map by recreating the world, three hundred man-made islands constructed out in the Arabian gulf. It’s the biggest reclamation project ever undertaken. The world can only be built of natural elements they demand by the shape. But it must define nature’s most destructive force: the sea. Engineers will battle against time and nature to create this man-made wonder visible from space. But will this creation of this mega structure push Dubai to the limit?

Hats off to all workers who made it. Their hardwork must be appreciated.
They are got screwed
@@summiitt yep, multiple deaths and slave contracts.
Definitely not appreciated.. uae only cares about money
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.
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.
When an architect meets that dream client; bold vision, no red tape, and an infinite budget.
@Syed Shuvo engineers make the architects' vision happen. Every architect's dream is an engineer's nightmare
@@shreyayadav1185 Unfortunately, the architect isn't the one to end their career and have to live with themselves after killing thousands when the structure fails.
@@shreyayadav1185 everyone who signed the plan is liable for building collapse especially the structural engineers and architects.
Infinite budget that's the main point
I bet that variation bill never got paid
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.
This narrator is just the best
I work in the steel building industry but nothing like this. The engineering it takes to build something on this scale is truly amazing. And this documentary covers all the other aspects also which is awesome. The engineering, electrical, interior design etc. Just awesome. It's beautiful.
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.
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.
@@Aman-nj2ti It was many years ago and I cannot remember, but it was a special price they were offering.
@@melinasasha120 u faked it....
2005? You sure about that ?
@@mohamedfahad2364 Yes i'm sure ! Why ?
@@amitr4385 I don't need to fake anything !
One thing is for sure, HH Sheikh Mohammed was way ahead of his time. Only a visionary leader like him could make Dubai into the modern and cosmopolitan mega city that it is today. And the reuslt is for all to look. Today, Dubai is a household name and everyone wants to visit this incredible city.
Visionary leader? Or corrupt tyrant with his hand in the till?
This video is a fountain of knowledge.
The engineering is absolutely insane, it is true though “architect’s dream is the engineer’s nightmare”
Si on d safety sides 250 M per excape exit, any leakages n with all Veh in, i wonder how it goes around? Simply Simon 🤔😅🤔😅

You live ,you sleep, you breath the building indeed
The engineering and all the other feats in constructing this building are all great but what strikes me the most is Dubai's determination to ensure the stability of their economy for future generations. They've really prepared for that day when their rich natural resource won't be the one sustaining them anymore. Now if only the whole world can be like that too.
Dubai ist one big shit my man.
I have been to the Burj and it is just jaw dropping. A testament to all who worked on the project. Dubai is simply amazing and the Burj really stands out.
I’m jealous! I want to visit the Emirates so badly!
Amazing engineering. Just incredible how creative and ingenious mankind can be when properly motivated.
especially when you have slave labour and relaxed safety regulations

It was an Architect's as well as a Sultan's dream but the nightmare for all engineers. Though this type of Engineering Marvels were built in The Ancient India e.g. 'The Tajmahal' by The Mughals & 'The Caves of Ajanta & Ellora' by The Cholas and 'The Pyramids' by The Kings of Ancient Egypt while so much scientific techniques weren't available on those days. Hats off to all workers who done these as well as their hardwork must be appreciated. Witnessing the construction of 'The Burj Al Arab' please don't forget the Ancient Heroes.
So much time and effort to materialize this building and hotel..Amazing skills of well-skilled Engineers!!
A marvel of human intelligence indeed❤
Who's watching this excellent spectacular documentary in quarantine time? 💪🏼😀
Me
@@damarleyfrancis3541 8
Nope online school help me
I’m watching it, but I don’t believe in quarantine or the seriousness of a flu that is destroying the worlds economies. So as far as I’m concerned I’m just watching this during a normal time when morons wants to ruin our children’s children’s children’s futures to try and fight a flu that has killed less people then measles has last year
@@henrymorrey4150 how do you think about it, right now Henry 😮 the 'flu' is still not over my friend 😕
It's a perfect example of scientific explanation. Science can do sort of anything
That’s fantastic,in Ireland 🇮🇪 we can’t build a childrens hospital .. it’s still not finished and so far it’s cost taxpayers nearly 2.billion
And o my God, there are people who dislike this unbelievable struggle story of making this man made miracle after seeing this long series of solution after solution for unprecedented challenges. Look at the thumbs down. 😀 This only thing always amaze me that one cant please everyone.
There are so many people who do not understand the meaning of the two signs 👍👎. Most of them don't know what its means, but they are reacting to videos and comments.
The building is really a testament to the innovative architectural and engineering accomplishments of everyone who worked on it. They all did incredible work. As awesome as the building is in terms of its design and engineering, this project wasn't just a luxury hotel but part of a large-scale economic strategy that had real, tangible importance for the people of Dubai. Their leader saw a looming economic crisis and basically said "oh fuck that," and threw their state's resources into creating a new economic future. Taking that risk is not easy (likely not even for the ultra-rich).
The architect who dreams big and the engineer who makes it happen.
J
be careful of those white ppl they're full of evenious of you they claim to be the best when it's not so run them way
I like it how this documentary was able to show how each and evey profession worked hand in hand to create a marvelous and spectacular architectural and engineering masterpiece! Kudos to the whole team! 🙌💪👊👏
this is the fifth time I’m watching this since 2015 and I’m still in awe of the opulence 🤩
kzhead.info/sun/ZNuQZad8bZeaY58/bejne.html
Yep, I’m watching it again for the 6th time lol
Ingenuous and out of this world. Hats off to the team of architects, engineers. contractors, construction workers and interior designers. Probably, the 8th wonder of the world. A creative master class. CONGRATULATIONS TO THE DUBAI RULER AND THE CREATORS OF THIS WONDER LAND.
god bless each and everyone in this project
Amazing engineering. Quarantine brought me here
Me too lol
@@stacygarrison7991 hahahhaa
And I guess, this things brought me to you.@Stacy Garrison
I watched it in just one sitting💞
kzhead.info/sun/ZNuQZad8bZeaY58/bejne.html
With respect.. A great documentary.. In a unique ..construction like this.. It requires a team effort.. No one person .. Will be able to construct..something so complicated.. God Bless
"It's okay for the architectures to draw up pretty pictures, but, we've to build it". Malcolm Murphy (Chief Contractor) I laughed when I heard him- saying it :) what a great job done by all! Marvelous.
Lol same to me 😊
History to Load, What are visionary leader. God help Nigeria
Great job to the architect and engineers but kudos to all my south Asian people who shed their blood, sweat, and tears in scorching hot weather building the UAE.
So much respect to the ones who actually constructed it!!!
I really enjoy watching this,the first day I entered burj arab was like am in heaven the place is very beautiful wow
Iconic of Civil Enginnering
One of the best documentaries ever
I like it how this documentary was able to show how each and evey profession worked hand in hand to create a marvelous and spectacular architectural and engineering masterpiece! Kudos to the whole team!
What a stunning building. Well done lads and lassies what a grand job you all did. I was an admin assistant in an Architects firm and i know when the clients aren't happy the shite can hit the fan and contracts can get pulled without warning. Changes happen all the time and once everything is finalized it can still change it is not over until it meets every stage of planning and the doors open with everything certified. No short cuts allowed. What a cracking building with all the princes upgrades its no wonder that it costs so much to stay there a night. Way way way out of my price range that is for darned sure.
Works were paid £5 daily or $US190 per month. Four folks died apparently during its construction. How many more have sustained longer term health effects in the heat of day and cold of night in its 24 hr per day race to complete? Just trying to get fair representation for those who can’t represent themselves; either because they are dead or because they are disempowered or their voices to be heard.
The documentary makes me appreciate the structure and the milestones the archtect, engineers, constractor, the interior designers and others had to overcome to come up with this master piece. A photo with the building in the background as an excited tourist didnt do justice.
Crazy engineering. Amazed me everytime. Been to Shanghai last year, most of the building in that city just like engineered from out of the earth
It proves the excellence of human intelligence and capability I would make my mark someday ❤
We love the #burjalarab hotel and restaurant 👍😎 #dubai
I miss Dubai....i hope i come back soon
Fabulous documentary, what a design team but what a great construction team as well, fantastic building and so different from anything else anywhere. The skills shown here and the general materials being put together to create this masterpiece are astounding! Thanks so much for this revelation in human abilities.
This is phenomenal from start to finish 👌. We look forward to creating something extraordinary in the nearest future.
Brillant and amazing work,,grabi ka mahal sa isa ka gabii,only richest people can visit and afford to stay the one of the luxurious hotel in the world❤😮😊😊😊
If my son tells me he wants to be an engineer when he grows up, I will show him this video and say to him, “ be an engineer if you want headaches, be an architect if you want to give other people headaches. Your choice.”
HAha

@Syed Shuvo they compliment each other. But architects choose to ignore the word budget

Quite an arrogant architect that Simon Crispe guy is.
I just love watching this
Liked how all teams worked together!
I will love to visit this remarkable hotel in Dubai the (Burj Al Arab) in the UAE 2022!
A wonder of the world befitting
Absolutely amazing ! Exceptional architecture and architects ! Now I have a dream to go to see and to be in that hotel , special that now I know the effort and courage to make this happen ! Congratulations to human intelligence !

I’m here after staying in the hotel February 2024! I am deeply amazed of all those who worked to create this masterpiece!
absolutely amazing, glued to my screen the whole time
Is wonderful
I couldn't stop watching
This was a wonderful narrative and I must commend the architect Tom Wright and the team!
I've never seen so many cranes on one project before. So many things that have never been tried before something special
Now we wait to see how it holds up to earthquakes and mega storms.
A miraculously built edifice.
inspiring documentary. fantastic production. all involved are amazing. ty.
@Millywajesus here it is , the construction of Burj al arab, very amazing skills here , its just like a Movie
Total los arquitectos dejan volar su ingeniosa imaginación y de la mano de los ingenieros lo hacen realidad 👍🏻
Fantastic documentary! Thank you...
engineering is absolutely fantastic ...
Amazing Dubai

Great documentary 👍🏼
Me gustó mucho, GRACIAS.
Absolutely amazing!
Nice Documentary Burj Al Arab is Spectacular
Beautiful ❤️
One day I wanna be the first one to won one architectural design trophy for one time designing the worlds one shortest hotel with one room and costing one macaroon for one wonderful way to spend ones leisurely time in one peaceful part of one nation under one (insert one deity)
My dad was the project manager for phase 1, we didnt move to UAE until 2013
On one hand of humanity working extremely hard for years to achieve a spectacular site, then on the other , sociopaths with power, that could destroy these marvels, in seconds.
A heavy task since 1994 with 185 tonne combos structure to carry and errect,,,,,great job,,,,after all
Oil will be gone and then what. SMART BEAUTIFUL I WOULD LOVE TO GO THERE
Wow,amazing
Thanks for sharing.
I was so privileged of entering this world iconic hotel, thanks to my sponsor.
It's okay for the architects to draw pretty pictures.But we have to build it and make it work...
