Concrete placement work for Dubai Creek Tower's pile cap has been completed two months ahead of schedule.
A 20m-thick, multi-layered pile cap has been developed for the $1bn (AED3.67bn) Dubai Creek Tower, which is part of the 6km2 Dubai Creek Harbour master development.
The pile covers and transfers the load to the foundation barrettes.

Up to 16,000 tons of steel reinforcement, reportedly twice the weight of the Eiffel Tower, have been buried in the sandy Dubai ground to support (what has been promised to become) the world's tallest tower at a yet to be disclosed height: the Dubai Creek Tower designed by Santiago Calatrava.

2 months ahead? At the cost of how many slaves' lives?
Dont worry, the bones are probably ground up the the pile caps of the stupid tower.
I wish economic blessing on the people of the United Arab Emirates, even in their wildest Architectural goals.
I think they are doing just fine with their piles of money. They just need to get the whole slavery & human rights issue cleared up.
The UAE has a lower cast, however, they have improved their quality of life through economic assets. In my view, the United States of America has more slavery & human rights issues than the UAE.
^right.... cookoo, cookoo
Morality considered, I am not wrong.
Morality? In the UAE? see my cookoo comment above.
The Islamic people are generally moral, especially in comparison to the United States of America.
You must have a different understanding of reality than the rest of us. Hint: you're out to lunch.
moral beacons, like the vatican and sung-yoo-kim, just ask jamal khashoggi.
or the raped girls in germany and sweden
... or like literally millions of other similar examples.
It's my Authentic Art and Architecture scene.
The US has its fair share of crap, but its stupid to compare it to the UAE, where there are absolutely no protections for workers and there is a legit class system in place. I hope you know that no one can become a citizen of the UAE even if they are born there, but not to an Emirati family.

While the USA currently has higher standards than the UAE, it is true that our worker and human rights situation is declining.
