"You need things to be delivered with military precision or you will have chaos on the ground." "The lunatic is on the grass The lunatic is on the grass Remembering games and daisy chains and laughs Got to keep the loonies on the path..." |

| Anonymous Coward 12/08/2005 10:10 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | its only part of the story: the chicago company is the same that is doing the revit 911 towers aka WTC now called Freedom Tower NYC, this will become tallest until Burj is completed in 2008. 1st: Dubai used to belong to the calif of Baghdad, Iraq at one time it was taken by the East India Company as harbour to the east, it was returned to the sultan of UAE, it houses Al Jazeera and others. Dubai in fact is the ancient Babylon revilalized, you have the first underwater hotel there, the largest skiing center of the world in the desert,it will outdo Las Vegas 2nd: the build a tower in Glasgow a few years ago that rotates with the wind, saving 30% of steelstructure weight, check rotating homes 3rd. the chaos part is untrue. The company uses Autodesk buzzsaw for collaboration which is the worlds cutting edge CAD software for coordination of buildings, same as used in Freedom Towers NYC. I know abit about it since I was looking for a job with company and read in forums their employees in NYC were not adequately insured when having to attend construction sites there, that put me off for the time being. if you look for job in Dubai they will never grant citizenship to you, your expatriate, if your employer has one complaint about you- off you go. Your not allowed to bring in your family, only with employers consent. The ordinary Dubai household has two expatriate servants, try to get a hotel at Dubai, its nearly impossible at the moment, tried for one week |
