al bhar tower

Al Bahr Towers is a development in the emirate of Abu Dhabi that consists of two towers of 29 floors and 145 m high. It is located at the intersection of Al Saada and Al Salam streets in the city of Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates, at the eastern entrance. One tower houses the new headquarters of the Abu Dhabi Investment Council (ADIC), an investment arm of the Government of Abu Dhabi. The other is the headquarters of Al Hilal Bank,  a progressive and innovative Islamic Bank.

TECHNOLOGIES THAT ARE CHANGING THE CONSTRUCTION

TECHNOLOGY IS LITERALLY CHANGING EVERYTHING IN MORDEN DAY LIFE.
THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY IS UPGRADED WITH LATEST TECHNOLOGY.
THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY IS COMING UP WITH NEW INNOVATIVE IDEAS THAT WILL CHANGE THE FUTURE OF CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY.

HERE ARE SOME OF THE FUTURE CONSTRUCTION TECHNOLOGY.

1. SELF HEALING CONCRETE

LARGE SUM OF MONEY IS INVESTED IN MAINTAINING AND FIXING AND RESTORING ROADS BUILDINGS TUNNELS BRIDGER ETC. BECAUSE ALL CONCRETE EVENTUALLY CRACK AND NEEDS TO BE RESTORED. SELF HEALING CONCRETE WOULD HELP ADD YEARS TO THE LIFE OF THE STRUCTURE AND WOULD REDUCE THE COST OF MAINTENANCE.
THE TECHNOLOGY BEHIND THIS IS WHEN WATER ENTERS THE CRACK AND REACTIVATES THE BACTERIA THAT WAS MIXED IN DURING THE MIXING PROCESS. WHEN THE BACTERIA IS ACTIVATED IT EXCRETES CALCITE WHICH THEN HEALS THE CRACK.

2.TRANSPARENT ALUMINIUM

IS A BULLET PROOF THAT IS ALMOST STONG AS STEEL DESPITE ITS STRENGTH IT LOOKS LIKE GLASS. TRANSPARENT ALUMINIUM IS A NEW MATERIAL AND A SEE THROUGH METAL. THE MATERIAL IS MADE OF ALUMINIUM OXYNITRIDE (AION) AND IS CREATED USING LASER TECHNOLOGY.

3.AEROGEL INSULATION

KNOWN AS FROZEN SMOKE IS SEMI-TRANSPARENT AND IS PRODUCED BY REMOVING THE LIQUID FROM THE GEL LEVING BEHIND THE SILICA STRUCTURE WHICh IS 90% AIR. BEING ALMOST WEIGHTLESS AEROGEL HOLDS ITS SHAPE AND CAN BE USED TO CREATE THIN SHEETS OF AEROGEL FABRIC
AEROGEL FABRIC IS USED IN CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY DUE to ITS INCREDIBLE INSULATION PROPERTIES. AEROGEL INSULATION MAKES IT EXTREMELY DIFFICULT FOR HEAT AND COLD TO PASS THROUGH AND HAS UP TO FOUR TIMES THE POWER OF FOAM OR FIBERGLASS.

4.ROBOTIC SWARM CONSTRUCTION

IT WAS DEVELOPED BY RESEARCHERS AT HARVARD ROBOTIC SWARM CONSTRUCTION WAS DESIGNED BY STUDING WHO TERMITES WORK .TERMITES WORK TOGETHER AS SWARM AND CONSTRUCTION WORKERS ARE PROGRAMED TO WORK TOGETHER IN THIS MANNER.

5. 3D PRINTED HOUSES

3D PRINTED HOUSES ARE INTO THE FUTURE OF CONSTRUCTION , THIS WILL INVOLVE CREATING PARTS OFF-SITE AND CONSTRUCTING THE BUILDING. IT WAS PIONEERED BY APIS OR BASED IN SAN FRANCISCO RECENTLY PROVED THAT THEY CAN 3D-PRINT WALLS OUT OF CONCRETE IN A RELATIVELY SHORT SPACE OF TIME. THE PRINTER WHICH IS SIMILAR IN LOOK TO A SMALL-SCALE CRANE, SETS LAYERS OF CONCRETE MIXTURES. 3D PRINTED HOMES COULD BE A GREAT SOLUTION FOR QUICKLY COVRING THE HOUSING NEEDS OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN AFFECTED BY NATURAL DISASTERS. 

6.BAMBOO CITIES

ARE MADE FROM BAMBOO STRUCTURE THAT INTERLOCK IT IS A FORM OF SUSTAINABLE AND A RENEWABLE RESOURCE THAT IS STRONGER THAN STEEL AND MORE RESILIENT THAN CONCRETE.THEY CAN RESIST EARTHQUAK. THEY ARE CURRENTLY USED IN BALI INDONESIA

7.SMART ROADS

ARE THE FUTURE OF TRANSPORT AND INVOLVE USING SENSORS AND INTERNET OF THINGS (IOT) TECHNOLOGY MAKING DRIVING SAFER . THIS GIVES DRIVERS REAL-TIME INFORMATION REGARDING TRAFIC INFORMATION AND WEATHER CONDITIONS . THIS TECHNOLOGY CAN GENERATE ENERGY CHARGING ELECTIC VECHILES ON THE MOVE AS WELL AS FOR STREET LIGHTS.

8. SMART BRICKS

ARE MODULAR BRICKS SIMILAR TO LEGO MADE OUT OF HIGH STRENGTH AND DEVELOPED BY KITE BRICKS SMART COMES WITH SUSTAINABLE THERMAL ENERGY CONTROL AND REDUCTION IN CONSTRUCTION COST.A S THEY ARE MODULAR DESIGN THEY ARE EASY TO CONNECT AND HAVE SPACE FOR INSULATION ELECTRICITY AND PLUMBING.

9.VERTICAL CITIES

VERTICAL CITIES MAY SOON BECOME REALITY AS THE WORLDS POPULATION GROWS AND INCREASINGLY BECOMES SCARCE. THEY ARE BUILDINGS OF TOWER FOR THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE TO INHABIT. SUPPORTING A GROWING POPULATION VERTICAL CITIES ARE A SPACE SAVING SOLUTION TO PRESERVE LAND FOR FOOD NATURE AND PRODUCTION.

10.GREEN BUILDINGS

KNOWN AS VERTICAL FORESTS THEY ARE HIGH RISE FOREST BUILDING DESIGNED TO TACKLE AIR POLLUTION. POLLUTION FIGHTING BUILDINGS WILL BE HOME TO OVER 1000-2500 TREES AND SHRUBS TO ABSORB POLLUTION IN THE AIR TO HELP FILTER IT TO MAKE THE AIR CLEANER. TREES ARE HIGHLY PRODUCTIVE IN ABSORIN CARBON DIOXIDE MAKING THIS A COST-EFFECTIVE CONSTRUCTION.
