\nThe project to build the new supertall tower set to be 100m taller than Burj Khalifa is now underway, with Aurecon appointed as engineer and architect of record on the project.Aurecon will support the tower’s creator, Santiago Calatravra, who is leading the design and engineering works. The pair will collaborate on a range of technical features planned for the tower, which will be at the heart of Emaar Properties’ Dubai Creek Harbour development. It will be at least 928m high, according to Emaar’s chairman Mohamed Alabbar, and comprise a central concrete column supported by a network of steel cable stays. The top of the structure will house an oval-shaped bud containing ten observation decks, including one viewing platform offering 360 degree views of the city known as The Pinnacle Room. The bud will also contain a boutique hotel, vertical gardens and meeting rooms.Aurecon’s project director, Adrian Jones, said: “The Calatrava team were looking to work directly with experts who have had hands-on project experience on other supertall and similar mega-projects.”The Tower will test the craftsmanship of Aurecon as we play our part in making a mark on the built fabric of mankind.”Aurecon is a building consultancy that was formed in 2009 following the merger between Australian consultancy Connell Wagner with South African practices Africon and Ninham Shand. The company is working on a number of important GCC projects, including a Strategic Transportation Master Plan for Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority and in Qatar it is working on the expansion of an aggregates terminal for Qatar Primary Minerals Company. The Tower is currently scheduled to be delivered ahead of Dubai’s Expo 2020 programme beginning in October 2020. It will cost US$1 billion (Dh3.67bn) to build.mfahy@thenational.aeFollow The National’s Business section on Twitter
