Weather, wind load Financial constraints
Evacuation Collapse

9. Problem solving and Decision Making
• Evacuation.
Skyscrapers have taken on a new significancesince the terrorist
attackson September11, 2001. The building'sheightmakes evacuationmore
difficult.Thereare refuge rooms that can withstandfire and heat for up to two
hours in the tower's evacuation systemAir pumps are also availablein each of
these rooms.
• Collapse.
The Burj Khalifa's heightof more over half a kilometre makes it a risk,despite
the UAE's minimal seismicactivity.In order to remedy this problem, it was
decidedto make it triangular. In tests, the buildingwas found to be able to
survive earthquakesof magnitude6 or greater.

11. The effectivefinishingof the Burj Khalifaprojectwasmade
possible by the combined efforts of innumerable engineers,
designers,architects,and employees all under the
leadershipof a competent Project Manager.Project
managementhasbeen found to be a key factorina project's
success.
Onehectic taskfor BurjKhalifa'sadministrationis to keep up
the maintenanceof the building. With so many tourists
flocking to see it, continual cleaning andupkeep is
necessary.
