THE TALLEST BUILDING IN THE WORLD, AT 3307.08 FEET HEIGHT, WILL BE BUILT IN SAUDI ARABIA

 


Promising to be taller than the world's current tallest building (The Burj Khalifa 2716.54 feet tall), the Jeddah Tower says it will surpass the mark. Its inauguration was scheduled for the end of 2020, but technical issues and the pandemic postponed the project's execution.





The project, in general, will consume more than 500 thousand m³ of concrete and 80 thousand tons of steel, the estimated cost is around 1.23 billion dollars, approximately 6 billion reais at the current price.


It will have more than 200 floors and will be an unprecedented feat for engineering and architecture, since, for buildings of this size, common materials and designs do not support it. The wind load, for example, making the building design change across the floors was necessary to withstand it and allow the wind to circulate through the building without collapsing it.



Its construction is being carried out in the desert of the 2nd largest city in Saudi Arabia, the city of Jeddah and was planned to withstand winds, sandstorms and other situations that happen in the desert.


The building's interior will have 12 escalators and 59 elevators, some of which will have speeds above 60km/h. The director of the company Thornton Tomasetti, Robert Sinn, responsible for the structural plan of the building, confirms that it is currently impossible to set a date for the completion of the work.


Jeddah Tower was designed to be 1008 meters high.

The highest point is the São Bonifácio peak, which is about 2050.52 feet high.   In the mid-16th century, Ilha da Trindade was constantly confused with Ascension Island, the name under which it appears in some letters and writings of the time. The change is understandable, seeing the interest and layout of the strand of British Isles in the South Atlantic. The island was increasingly used as a maritime foothold by slave smugglers and English pirates. In the 18th and 19th centuries it was visited by explorers, navigators and naturalists. After the proclamation of independence in 1822, the island was added to Brazilian territory....
