Construction Challenges in High Rise
Building
1) Extensive Tests done on
ground by creating a
stimulating Concrete
pressure on Horizontal
laid Pipe Line.
2) Concrete pumps Capacity
to Pump upto 570 Mtr.
3) Concrete Pumps- 2 Nos
BSA 14000 SHP D
4) Max Pressure of Pump

Construction Challenges in High Rise Building
1) Design of Concrete Mix:
° Base plate:C80A (maximum
particle size 20 mm)
° Up to level 26 (height 95 m) for
the walls: C80A (maximum
particle size 20 mm)
° Up to level 126 (height 452 m)
for the walls: C80 (maximum In the central core of the Burj Dubai, the two
main lines can be folded down onto four risers
particle size 14 mm) in just a few movements. The risers lead to the
° Up to level 154 (height 570 m) stationary Putzmeister booms on the decks
and up in the tower.
for the walls: C60
° Concrete with compressive
strength C50 is compulsory for
creating the decks of all storeys
Construction Challenges in High Rise Building
• Massive wall bearings hold
the concrete lines which
weigh over 50 tons.
• Hydraulic lifting device
makes it easier to replace
pipes.
• "Iron sword" for
emergencies.
• Stationary boom without
ballast.
Construction Challenges in High Rise
Building
• The last of the concrete
residue is pushed out of
the delivery line from
the top end of the
pump line using a
sponge ball and
compressed air.
