Kahit saan nandyan ang Pinoy. Proud ako dyan ki kabayan ( Bicolano man)
The last cladding panel – number 24348 – was installed at Burj Dubai, the world’s tallest building. We are proud that Filipinos are a big part of the ICONIC project.
The Arabian Aluminium Company – a member of Al Ghurair Construction Industries LLC –sent the six-metre panel to the site for installation at the bottom of the tower’s spire.
Cladding work on the gigantic project began in April 2007, and panels of more 18 different strength specifications and over 200 sizes have been used on the tower, all of them double-glazed and factory-sealed.
The main materials used in the cladding are reflective glazing, aluminium mullions and textured steel spandrels with vertical stainless steel tubular fins.
