I think the reason I'm always so fascinated by skyscrapers that get canceled after beginning vertical construction is that most of the work has already been done--permitting, design, planning, ground preparation, infrastructure, equipment rental, contracting, and foundation work. In the grand scheme of things, building the visible portion of the tower is simply the final step.
@hb1338 Жыл бұрын
Not quite. It is commonplace to supply fittings and fixtures e.g lifts, electricity, water, sewage etc after the building has been built.
@kentslocum Жыл бұрын
@@hb1338 I suppose that's true. There's a local school district that used a bond measure to build a new high school. The estimated cost of construction left enough bond money left over to pay for the demolition of the old high school building. However, since they didn't pay for all construction materials up front, cost overruns ate up the entire budget and they don't have the money to demolish the old building. That means the city won't give the school district a credit on the system development cost of the new building, which only further raises the cost of the new building. If the money is raised for construction, why don't they stage materials nearby so that they don't have to worry about shortages and cost overruns?

If not for a student at Princeton U, doing her thesis on the "Citicorp" building/NYC and who discovered a design flaw in the building's construction, it could have very well toppled over under extreme wind conditions. They kept it a secret & brought construction crews in at night to make the building structurally safe. The City also had to come up w/a 10-sq. block evacuation plan in the event anything happened while they made the repairs to the building's structure.

That’s still less than the cost of the WTC transportation hub (Oculus). The cost of completing this tower isn’t the issue here, it’s the complexity of actually building the entire city around it. Remember, you can’t just build a tower in the middle of nowhere, you need a thriving neighborhood (and functional sewage system) to make it livable.
@Codraroll Жыл бұрын
And that's where the developers of this tower stepped in the doodoo. The building sits on a big, empty plain several kilometers away from Jeddah proper, with squat all for amenities nearby. The developers got greedy and wanted to build a whole new city district for a million people, with Jeddah Tower as the centrepiece. However, there's far from enough demand to justify a city of a million people built from scratch there. But without that city, the tower stands too alone to be feasible.

Burj Khalifa is actually among the most stupid buildings out there. The waste from the sewage in the building has to be transported by trucks every day because it's not connected anywhere. And that's just one of the massive flaws of the building. Skyscrapers are nothing but dick measuring contests of various shithole countries. In Zagreb there is a massive communist block building, called the Mamutica. If you build a few of those in an area equal to the base of Burj Khalifa, you'd actually end up with more usable floor space and have an all around much more practical building complex.

I love all your videos 👍 As an AvGeek aviation is my thing. However as a New Yorker I love tall buildings ever since I was a kid. Growing up The Twin Towers were my favorite in NYC. However I’m fascinated by other mega towers worldwide. I lived in Jedda during the 90’s when I was working as a flight attendant and would move back Jedda in a second if they start to complete these buildings. I remember in the 90’s you could have picked up places for relativity cheap. Now you can’t touch those properties. I’d love to get in before it becomes the new Dubai as I missed that boat. Jedda is a great city with amazing beaches and would be a great investment property. Crime is slim to none clean lots of fun as long as you respect their culture when in public. We’d say daily “another beautiful day in the Kingdom” 🇸🇦 I had great friends there and it was so nice living there thanks to them. Hope they continue building cause I’d come and buy a place on the beautiful Red Sea some of the best water in the world 🌍 Hope they don’t let this project go under. This will put them on the map and make Jedda a great destination to visit and life. Great job on another video. I really enjoy them 🙏👍

I think at this point it would be better to keep the tower at its current height and finish things off. It'd be a waste of effort (and concrete) if that already huge tower would just wither away until it has to be torn down. Yes, the project would be a failure and the stump would remind everyone of said failure. But at the same time it is a good reminder that corruption doesn't pay off, that we can make the best of a bad situation, that a failure won't stop us from doing amazing things and that valuable lessons can be learned from those failures.

Has any tall building (say >100 metres) ever failed for technical reasons ? It does seem like the architects and engineers always get it right - with good reason !

They’re better off just redoing the whole thing because it’s been sitting there for years exposed to the elements and that’s a safely hazard. It’s aged in the last 3 years and quite honestly I feel like the burj Khalifa is so popular, I dont think this building will have the same hype

I hope not... no reason for it to be built really. Its the desert so there is enough space around for normal buildings. Another western looking giant needle won't do anything. They should use money for some original designs or better infrastructure. Stuff that is actually sensible to invest into.

Are they any links between the Jeddah project and the Line/Neom? The video says briefly one is private (Jeddah) and the other publicly funded, but I imagine in a country like Saudi Arabia there must be some links between the people, their money etc. At the very least the Saudi government approved all of those plans.

On the other hand, the government is not likely to step in and save Jeddah Tower, because they'd rather want all the attention to their own pet projects in Neom.
