Dubai on the way up
As it's New Year's Eve, readers may not mind reading a slightly frivalous item: Dubai has set a new world record in the number of elevators and escalators in one buiding
Burj Dubai, the world's tallest building (owner Emaar Properties), to be inaugurated on January 4, 2010, is setting new trends as well as world records in elevator and escalator installation and operation.
In what is described as the "intelligent elevator installation," Burj Dubai will have 57 elevators and eight escalators streamlining the travel needs of the residents and visitors to the tower. These elevators also mark the highest installation in any building.
The only way is up!
Happy New Year
