The spire is massive at 3.5m/12ft diameter! I think its that large so it can actually be seen from ground level. If its gets any thinner it wont be seen and bit of a waste really?
this is why i think 808m maybe final height. unless they lengthen spire but i doubt it.lots of tonnage to consider.



yes figures are scale. 1.8m.

hey gr8 diagram...........but one question how did u manage to reach the top of building...

his cartoon self was born there and is stuck on top now waiting to be rescued

You obviously havent been following these threads for very long otherwise you would know what we were talking about :-)



I have been following the thread. Megatower has asked the 705m floor question several times but if you look at my post you will see that nearly half of these 22 parts are Spam City.

I stand behind what I stated.



Still Domenico.....lotta fun, lotta fun.

i reckon a chopper would be able to lower someone down on the top when its completed. remember 3.5m dia is quite big. say size of the small swimming pools. not chance of falling except if it sways slightly and has morning dew on top.
comparison to 3.5m dia pool

Just make it a basic rule, that only updates and serious issues are posted here.

Just regard anything else as spam and delete it!

Otherwise we end up with BD-Construction thread 1530 sometime.

Its the adimins job to ceap the forum handsome and nice to look at.

Exactly!

Buddy, you can come back against him in a better way.

Admins. AltinD's "STFU" comment should be deleted immediately. This is an open forum. We can complain about extra posts and all but it is up to them to stop posting. We cannot tell people off the way AltinD just did.

Part 22 is going down the toilet for just a tall building. What a joke.

pflo777,
I second that.

AltinD,
STFU? Is that the latest cool internet language for "shut the fuck up"?
I think you need to try harder than that to shut me up, mate.


I wish these forums were more strictly moderated.

[DocShergar]

Come on guys!! Give all the spam comments and personal digs a rest will you .

Megatower has stopped so let it go. Hopefully by part 23 in 52 posts time you will have got over it!

Anyway, while i'm posting - thanks for the updates. One Quetsion - How easy is it to get access to the site?

Hmm. Sounds like a risky business. You forgot the top of the Burj is designed to sway +-15 meters.

under the heaviest of windloads.

Well, even just 3 meters of swaying would make landing on a 3.5mt (diameter) surface a risky business...

Brilliant idea for a new category , the most tallest perch :-) Culwulla you'll have to make a career of it and see if you can stand on top of the other supertalls :-)

[dettol]

Well I think there must be a light on the tip of the spire for aerial navigation. This needs to be serviced so there must be a staircase the length of it and a hatch at the top for access. It would be fun stepping up the internal ladder with high wind sheer. :P

[CULWULLA]

^no doubt the spire will have internal ladder all the way top top. an 808m tall structure willl definately have a aircraft beacon.
The spire of 323m Q1 here in Australia is 2.4m dia and tapers to 1m at top. There is an internal ladder all the way to top where the beacon can be accessed.

It currently runs on a 24/7 timeframe, 2 shifts a day everyday . no stopping on friday or public holidays. This building has special permission to work like this as its a country icon

How come all Dubai spires are sliced near the top, instead (Rose Rotana, Burj Dubai, 21st Century) of having a pointed tip? Sigmund Freud could write a book on that.
