Dubai’s Pentominium To Be World’s Tallest Residential Tower

Dubai – The Astonishing Place For Civil Engineers

To amaze the engineering fraternity, Dubai is back with a project which would test the engineering limits. As per some news, Trident International Holdings have given a project to Arabian Construction Company to build world”s tallest residential tower the ”Pentominium” in Dubai Marina.
The estimated cost of this project is staggering  400 million dollars and the builders believe that once this will finish, Dubai would again prove his superiority in civil engineering field. Professionals all over the world are really looking forward for this project as it would change the way people think about residential buildings.
Salient features of Pentominium
1. It would be second tallest building[124 floor] in world after Burj Dubai.
2. The height of this building would be 618 metres.
3. The total built-up area will be 170,000 square metres.
4. Construction duration is expected to take 48 months.
5. The Pentominium will be the tallest all-residential building.
6. It is designed by architects Aedas.
7. Each living space will have its own foyer and smart biometric access control.
8. Every apartment will consist of either a half or a whole floor (more than 600 m²)
If the builders are to be believed, then these would be the most luxurious apartments in the world having 24*7 butler service, option to use high end luxury vehicles on rent, sailing trips on Yachts and all the accessories you can think of too have a king size life. The top floors will have private theater, cigar lounge, sky lounge, business center, sky pool, health clubs, squash courts and a banqueting hall.

The Vision for Civil Engineering in 2025

The American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) organized a gathering of thought leaders from diverse backgrounds and countries—civil engineers, engineers from other disciplines, architects, educators, and other leaders—to ask: What will the civil engineering world be like in 2025? What aspirational role will civil engineers play in that radically transformed world?

The answer professes a new role for the civil engineers of tomorrow, reflecting a new level of leadership and professionalism. Civil engineers would be entrusted by society to achieve a sustainable world and raise the global quality of life. To earn that confidence, civil engineers, as a body of professionals, would exhibit a mastery in five key areas:
  • Planners, designers, constructors, and operators
  • Stewards of the environment
  • Innovators and integrators of technology
  • Managers of risk
  • Leaders in public policy
As the civil engineering profession moves towards the goals of Vision 2025, the make-up of the engineering team may change as well. The professional engineer of the future will be the clear leader of projects, integrate technology and resources, and spearhead the interface with the owner and the public—but there may be fewer professional engineers on individual project teams. With the ever increasing sophistication of engineering software, many of the routine engineering tasks in future projects will not require a professional engineer. That work can be performed well and economically by unlicensed individuals under the responsible charge of new engineer leaders—a strategic allocation of engineering graduates, degreed technologists, and technicians.
