KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 9 (NNN-BERNAMA) — Eversendai Corporation Bhd has created a world record and\u00a0landmark feat in the construction industry with One\u00a0Za’abeel,\u00a0an\u00a0iconic high-rise mixed-use luxury development\u00a0in Dubai.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Executive chairman and group managing director Tan Sri AK Nathan said the impressive structure put in place twin high-rise buildings — a 300-metre tall Tower A housing offices and the world\u2019s first vertical resort, and a 235-metre Tower B oriented towards the residential units.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said the two towers are linked at 125 metres in the air by \u2018The \u2018Link\u2019, a 9,000-tonne bridge using 230-metre long steel structure that would top the list of engineering marvels and is set to break the world record for the longest cantilevered building in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Eversendai is Malaysia\u2019s pride and we are proud to fly the Jalur Gemilang high by being a part of setting the world record for the longest cantilevered building in the world,” he said in a statement today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said a 192-metre long first section of the Link had been lifted to its final position at 100 metres above the ground level a few weeks ago. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe lift, one of the heaviest in the Middle East with a total weight of 8,500 tonnes was carried out over a period of three days,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The second lift to complete the Link structure to reach its final length of 230 metres would take place later this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Eversendai was involved in various iconic landmark structures including 16 Collyer Quay, Chevron House, Republic Plaza, and the State Court building in Singapore, as well as the Petronas Twin Tower 2 and Merdeka PNB 118 in Malaysia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
