Project planning is the initial phase of any project.
As Priyanka told that in
palnning the main purpose is vision and risk and budgeting and many other
things
1)Second important thing is project activity and risk planning is the most essential
thing.if they do in a good way.and the project will success.
2)In it they write and focus all the things from beginning to the end to meet the
objectives and the team will discuss with the government
3) They determine which activity should be done at first stage of construction
and continue the rest of the activities in sequence.
4)fter this they identify , analyze and response for the the risks.IN risk
Management the start looking for the problems which they are going to face in
project and after that they focus on the solutions to reduce the problems which
occurs.
5)The main risk they face as the design and they tried to avoid from the two
challenges like gravity and wind. The shape of the building is designed to avoid
the wind that can damage it.
Design and Development:
If I will talk about design and development about burj khalifa no doubt it’s the world’s
tallest building and is was the decision of Dubai’ s government and they have
different attentions about it.
1) As everyone knows that Dubai has has famous about his oil trade but the
government of dubai wants to make tourism as a second biggest
industry.
2) Tower Size can improve the identity of the city and reputation in the
world and get more intentions from the world.
3) And it has got the title of world tallest building in the world now.
4) Ruler of dubai once twitted that he was inspired from the empire state
building in new York many decades ago in 19600 and decided to make a
buggest tower in his homeland
Burj Khalifa
Burj Khalifa was designed by Adrian Smith from Chicago-based architecture firm
Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, he has also designed some other notable projects like Jin
Mao Tower, Wuhan Greenland Center in China, and Jeddah Tower in Saudi Arabia,
which is set to become the next tallest building in the world.

1)This shape in the one hand is for the stability of the building, the Jeddah Tower which
currently under construction is also based on this shape and the shape can also be found
on other structures such as CN Tower, Wuhan Greenland Center and Russia
Tower(cancelled).
2)The Y-shape design can provide the people living in it with views to the greatest
extent, where the Y-shape is more apparent is used for hotels and residences and the
upper portion where the Y-shape has almost transformed to circular is occupied by
offices, where people working there are supposed to concentrate their focus on their
work not the scenery.
Construction
The construction of Burj Khalifa was contracted by Samsung Construction, a subsidiary
of Samsung Group, the group is best known for its electronic products and in respect of
construction it had also constructed many famous buildings around the world
including Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur and Taipei 101 Tower in Taipei.
The construction began in 2004, the building started rising in March 2005.

After that Burj Khalifa grew very fast, below is how it looked in February 2006. The
building had become a 30-floor highrise building from a Y-shape base structure in less
than one year.
Burj Khalifa under construction in February 2006
As of January 2007, the tower had become an imposing supertall skyscraper that has more than
one hundred floors built. And one month later it became the building with most floors on the
earth.
The whole project cost 1.5 billion dollars, the tower itself cost 1 billion dollars, it's not very high
for a building with that height, even many buildings around 300 meters in American cities cost
this much, this is more obvious when compared with One World Trade Center in New York City,
which cost 3.9 billions dollars. But for buildings in Dubai, this number is far ahead of other
supertalls while the majority of Dubai's supertall skyscrapers cost only around 300 million
dollars.
Wind Tunnel Testing
Over 40 wind tun
tests were conducted on Burj Khalifa to examine the effects the wind would have on the tower and its
occupants. These ranged from initial tests to verify the wind climate of Dubai, to large structural analysis
models and faAwards and conclusions
In June 2010, Burj Khalifa was the recipient of the 2010 "Best Tall Building Middle East & Africa"
award by the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat. [148] On 28 September 2010 Burj Khalifa
won the award for best project of the year at the Middle East Architect Awards 2010. [149] Awards Chair
Gordon Gill, of Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill Architecture, said:
We are talking about a building here that has changed the landscape of what is possible in
architecture – a building that became internationally recognized as an icon long before it was even
completed. ‘Building of the Century’ was thought a more apt title for it.[150]
cade pressure tests, to micro-climate analysis of the effects at terraces and around the tower base. Even the
temporary conditions during the construction stage were tested with the tower cranes on the tower to ensure
safety at all times.
Stack effect or chimney effect is a phenomenon that affects super-tall building design and arises from the
changes in pressure and temperature with height. Special studies were carried on Burj Khalifa to determine the
magnitude of the changes that would have to be dealt with in the building design.
