Adnoc HQ will be the tallest tower in the UAE Captial.

Six Construct to build Abu Dhabi's tallest tower

by Conrad Egbert on Apr 4, 2010

Belgium’s Six Construct has picked up a US $490 million (AED1.8 billion) contract to build what will become Abu Dhabi’s tallest tower – the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company Headquarters (Adnoc).

The first package worth $163 million for the core and shell was awarded to Six Construct last week with four more packages to follow.

The project is being managed by Six Construct internally and the consultant on the job is Halcrow. Adnoc is the client.

Work on the project is expected to begin end May and is scheduled to be completed in around 36 months.

The Abu Dhabi National Oil Company Headquarters has been designed to become a landmark in the UAE capital. In addition to office space, the 342m tower will include a corniche club, a museum and other supporting facilities. The tower is also expected to work towards attaining a Gold or Platinum Leed status.

These guys have yet to decide how to build the tower. It would be build by reinforced concrete columns but what will be encased inside (rebar, plates, tubes ... ) is still being discussed between contractors, consultants, sub-contractors and material suppliers. One thing is for sure, they're are aiming for a very, very strong structure but that it would mean also very, very heavy.

roughly 1 and a half hour with car if u follow the higway.

and about 124km in airline from Dubai creek to the center of Abu Dhabi

The uae cities and emirates are very close to each other. And Dubai sharjah and Umm al-Quwain together is a constant urban sprawl stretching for 87 kilometers along the persian gulf.

Could you actually see Dubai from Abu Dhabi? The distance is about 120 km.

Technically you probably could given the right vantage point (high up), however I would suspect you would need to be lucky with atmospherics/heat haze etc. Love Abu Dhabi's towers, quality construction.

Looks fantastic i was really waiting for the side cladding to come up makes a great contrast to the primary glass cladding.

Will look even better with the bridge ontop

I'm Just in Love with Abu Dhabi and its people ... I visited there 3 times and every time the progress of projects and towers being built is remarkable.
I can't wait for my next visit
