WORLD’S HIGHEST
[BIZ: Würselen/Dubai, June 18] Burj Dubai's final milestone will be to surpass the Warsaw radio mast in Konstantynów near Gąbin, Poland (which stood at 646.4 m until it collapsed in 1991) to become the world's tallest structure of any type ever built.
Pleyers of Würselen, the innovative construction company, which provides solutions for the surface protection of building materials, has received a major contract for a building with 900 apartments, called Burj Dubai. There will be approximately 95,000m2 with parquet flooring and Pleyers’s ‘porfil. PLUS’ will be applied as a water barrier to protect the wooden floors. The tower is the tallest building in Dubai. As of 12 May 2008, Burj Dubai had reached a height of 636 m (2,087 ft), with more than 160 completed floors.
