Rawlplug anchors stabilize elevator systems in the world's tallest building – Burj Khalifa!

Burj Khalifa, soaring to an impressive 829.8 meters, is not only the tallest building in the world but also a symbol of modern architecture and engineering in Dubai. Located in the heart of the city, it attracts millions of tourists annually, offering breathtaking views, luxurious apartments, office spaces, as well as exclusive restaurants and hotels.

Technology and innovation in Burj Khalifa

Inside Burj Khalifa, 57 elevators operate at speeds of up to 10 m/s, making them among the fastest elevators in the world. This advanced system, supported by Rawlplug products, allows visitors to travel 124 floors in just 60 seconds, ensuring maximum efficiency in vertical transportation.

The tower is also home to the Armani Hotel, the first-ever hotel designed by world-renowned fashion designer Giorgio Armani. The hotel features luxurious rooms and suites, along with exclusive fine dining restaurants, where guests can enjoy exquisite cuisine while admiring the vibrant cityscape of Dubai.

Unforgettable views and luxury at the highest level

Beyond its lavish interiors, Burj Khalifa provides access to two observation decks on the 124th and 148th floors, offering panoramic views of Dubai, the Persian Gulf, and the surrounding desert landscapes. It remains one of the most visited attractions in the United Arab Emirates.

Advanced Rawlplug anchoring solutions in Burj Khalifa

During both the construction and modernization of this iconic skyscraper, Rawlplug’s advanced R-XPT throughbolt anchors (in M10, M12, and M16 sizes) were used. These high-performance throughbolt anchors, known for their precision and reliability, were installed to stabilize the building’s elevator systems, a crucial component in its overall functionality.

The exceptional load capacity and reliability of R-XPT anchors were validated through a series of rigorous tests, ultimately leading to their selection by one of the leading elevator system suppliers in the UAE, Bahrain, and Qatar.
