Monitoring The World’s Tallest Manmade Structure Standing over 2,700 feet tall, the Burj Khalifa towers over downtown Dubai … and just about everything else. Building and maintaining a structure like no other required a monitoring solution like none other. The Challenge Designing and constructing the Burj Khalifa pushed modern engineering to its limits. Computer modeling was used to predict the structural properties throughout every building phase, but computer modeling requires real-world data to ensure its accuracy. The Solution To match existing systems, CPP (the building’s System Architect and Engineer) was relying on traditional accelerometers and data acquisition systems. That meant up to eight separate components and their cable management had to be mounted in tight spaces.
