Top Of Burj Dubai

Burj Dubai has broken another record by fitting glass panels at a height of 512metres.

Burj Dubai, the world's tallest structure, has earned itself another record through the installation of glass panels at a height of 512metres, its developer Emaar Properties said on Monday.


Emaar said that the new world record could be credited to Arabian Aluminum Company, which had laid out the reflective-glazing panels on the 141st floor of the building.

“Burj Dubai is setting a new world record in all aspects of high-rise construction," said Ahmad Al Matrooshi, Emaar's UAE managing director, in a statement.

"With cladding undertaken on Level 141 of the tower, we have pushed the frontiers of engineering high-rises one-notch higher. Every aspect of the tower now serves as a referral source on the practicalities of developing skyscrapers."

Burj Dubai, which currently stands at 636 metres and is more than 160 storeys high, recently surpassed the height of the KVLY-TV mast in North Dakota, USA, at 628.8 metres.
