Dubai, the city of the highest human-made structure in the world (Burj Khalifa). Have you ever imagined how this building is maintained? Dubai is a city with the tallest skyscrapers in the world. Overall, Dubai has 18 structures that rise at least 300<\/a> meters in height. That is more than any other city in the world. Downsizing the competition between cities who have skyscrapers more than 100 meters in height, it ranks the 8th<\/sup>, making it among the human-made tallest skyline cities. So, how are all these buildings keeping their high performance and operating efficiently? Every kind of structure needs maintenance typically to uphold structural stability, optimise performance and determine the causes of defects to fix them. However, in the case of skyscrapers, you\u2019ll need multiples a considerable amount of effort and equipment to do so. For example, Burj Khalifa has 24830 windows; when the building was being cleaned in 2012 it required a team of 36 workers working over three months with a total of more than 17000 hours of work to clean it! That\u2019s a minimal scope of work comparing with all the types of maintenance that should be executed in such a building as:<\/p>\n In case of operating a 100+ floors building, you will need to know how much each point can consume from working hours to labourers and what is the average accuracy that can result in the end? After calculating all this input data input<\/span>, you should arrange a marginal crossing plan for all the maintenance types needed, followed by an execution plan that distributes job roles among the working labour force.<\/p>\n The most important thing you should know about maintenance is the constant and regular observation will minimise your bigger risks and snags. According to designing buildings UK<\/a>, there are seven types of maintenance to be considered in construction:<\/p>\n These types of maintenance are operating interchangeably all-time according to the situation. However, they all need to be organised and controlled with a technology tool to ensure optimum efficiency and reduce unexpected errors.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Well, commonly, a large labour force and energy needed to work on the maintenance plan for large and intricate structures. But in the case of skyscrapers, this energy will not be enough alone. As the working field is getting bigger, the chance of human error occurrence is also getting higher. Meanwhile using a defect tracking and documenting software became an essential need in this case. Yes, nothing can replace the human eye in checking on the building performance, but this eye should always be coupled with a tool for documenting to make sure that there is never a forgotten defect somewhere. Using software as PlanRadar<\/a> in the maintenance of skyscrapers will enable you to:<\/p>\n Finally, if you are in charge of operating and maintaining a skyscraper building, you must know that your role includes guarantying safety for hundreds of users every day. Imagine a defect on one fire alarm or fire exit door in the 90th<\/sup> floor. Any such minor deficiency can cause a real disaster. Consider implementing software and technology solutions that can enhance your job performance and save lives.<\/p>\n Dubai, the city of the highest human-made structure in the world (Burj Khalifa).
