10,500 cubic meter raft for Al Durrah Tower is the largest single poured raft in UAE
Dubai Contracting Company (DCC), a leading Dubai-based international contracting company, and Ready Mix Beton (RMB), a leader in the production and supply of ready mix concrete, have recently achieved a new construction record in the UAE for a continuously poured concrete raft at their new project, the Al Durrah Tower, in Dubai's World Trade Centre Area.
Almost 10,500 cubic meters of concrete were poured between Thursday March 22 and Friday March 23, 2007.
"Pouring this volume of a special Self-Compacting Concrete needs a high-efficiency, precision based operation; as well as excellent coordination like that which exists between RMB and DCC" said a Ready Mixed Beton representative.
The largest continuously poured concrete raft in the emirates will support the 50-storey luxurious residential building, Al Durrah Tower, that comprises of 474 apartments, a spa, a swimming pool and squash courts. The project, being developed by consultants WS Atkins and overseas partners, is due for completion by November 2008.
