World\u2019s Tallest Building Set for Construction in Saudi Arabia. It needs 80,000 tons of steel<\/p>\n

Advanced Construction Technology Services (ACTS), a consulting organization in the field of construction materials and geotechnical engineering, has been commissioned to carry out the quality control of all construction materials that will be used in the Kingdom Tower project, the world\u2019s first kilometer-high skyscraper currently under construction in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.<\/p>\n

\"Kingdom<\/a><\/p>\n

The centerpiece and first construction phase of the Kingdom City development located along the Red Sea on the north side of Jeddah, Kingdom Tower is designed to be over 1,000 meters tall (3,280 feet), encompassing a total construction area of 530,000 square meters (5.7 million square feet). The building will have 200 floors in total, 160 of which are habitable. Its preliminary cost is set at US$ 1.23 billion, and would overshadow Dubai\u2019s Burj Khalifa by at least 173 meters (568 feet).<\/p>\n

The great height of the Kingdom Tower calls for high strength, high performance concrete, and to ensure adherence to the highest quality standards, ACTS will be mobilizing state-of-the art testing equipment and expert professionals to do the third party testing works on about half a million cubic meters of concrete and around 80,000 tons of steel to be used on the mega project. ACTS will also deploy special equipment to evaluate the rheological properties of concrete to ensure concrete will be pumpable to very high elevations.<\/p>\n

Deploying around 100 expert staff members, ACTS will install a fully-equipped site laboratory, which will carry the day-to-day quality control operations and will also provide specialized testing services from its laboratory facility in Briman area in Jeddah, which is one of the largest testing facilities in the Middle East.<\/p>\n

\"Kingdom<\/a><\/p>\n

Engr. Nabil Batrawi, Project Director, Saudi Bin Ladin Group (SBG), said \u201cwe selected ACTS after a thorough evaluation of their capabilities and strength. We look forward to working with them to ensure this project receives the best attention to quality it deserves.\u201d<\/p>\n

Engr. Khaled Awad, Chairman of ACTS, said \u201cthe appointment of ACTS as an independent testing agency for one of the most challenging engineering structures in the world, is a vote of trust in ACTS\u2019 capabilities and extensive experience in materials testing and engineering. We will be investing our experience and knowledge to provide accurate, traceable and reliable test information in the largest megatall building in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

ACTS has been involved on similarly challenging large infrastructure projects around the Gulf, and has been providing a range of quality control services including inspection and supervision, monitoring of mass concrete, testing and evaluation of various materials as well as audit for asphalt and concrete production facilities. Among the mega projects previously commissioned to ACTS for quality control was Jeddah\u2019s King Abdulaziz International Airport, which involved the testing of a total of 3.5 million cubic meters of concrete.<\/p>\n
