The document summarizes the construction of the Burj Al Arab hotel in Dubai. Temporary structures like sheet piles and boundary rock bunds were used to displace seawater and form an artificial island. A reinforced concrete foundation was built to withstand wave forces. The hotel's distinctive sail-shaped structure is supported by an exoskeleton frame and central spine, with bracing and dampers used to reduce motion in the wind. It took three years to create the island and less than three to build the hotel, which has a helipad 210 meters above the ground.

foundationwas disturbed heavily in order to
avoid that they take the concrete shed units
to send the waves back when they hit the
foundation.
