Burj Khalifa has been designed to be the centrepiece of a large-scale, mixed-use development that will include 30,000 homes, nine hotels such as The Address Downtown Dubai, 3 hectares (7.4 acres) of parkland, at least 19 residential towers, the Dubai Mall, and the 12-hectare (30-acre) man-made Burj Khalifa Lake.
Steel, concrete, and glass were used in the construction of the Burj Khalifa due to their strength, durability, and aesthetic appeal. Steel provides the structural framework needed to support the skyscraper's height, while high-strength concrete offers stability and resistance to compression. The extensive use of glass enhances the building's modern appearance and allows for natural light, creating a visually striking façade. Together, these materials enable the Burj Khalifa to withstand environmental stresses such as wind and seismic activity.
During the construction and maintenance of the Burj Khalifa, some of the plumbing challenges faced include the need for high-pressure water supply to reach the upper floors, ensuring proper drainage and sewage systems, and maintaining water temperature control in such a tall building. Additionally, the complexity of the building's design and the sheer height of the structure can make plumbing installations and repairs more difficult and time-consuming.
