The tower provides a significant landmark that still stands as a marker for visitors and residents around what has become one of the busiest areas in the emirate today. It stands at the gateway of Maktoum Bridge, which was the first permanent structure to straddle Dubai Creek, providing a vital link between Bur Dubai and Deira and was connection between northern and southen emirates.</p><p><strong>KEY CHALLENGES</strong></p><p>In 1989, ECC was commissioned to reconstruct the iconic and historical landmark, however, it was on condition that no disruption to traffic should take place, nor should there be any threat to public safety.</p><p>Through careful engineering, skilled and dedicated teams of both engineers as well as workforce, the Clock Tower reconstruction was completed and ECC received an appreciation letter from Dubai Municipality. All four clock faces were replaced with Omega models, incorporating GPS devices for accuracy.

<strong>VALUE:</strong> 73 Million

<strong>COMPLETED:</strong> March 2003

<strong>SCALE:</strong> 26,166 Sq. M

<strong>DURATION:</strong> 18 months

The Shangri-La Hotel is 4.5 Star Hotel that opened in March 2004 and is located in the Al Khabeesi area of the Deira district in Dubai. It is approximately one mile from Dubai International Airport.

The hotel consists of 3 basements, a ground floor with a double height atrium, a mezzanine, 6 typical floors housing 250 rooms, and leisure facilities such as a health club, sauna, and a swimming pool on the top floor.

The Structure of the building is made of concrete with post-tensioned slabs, while the façade is clad with composite aluminium and marble.

<strong>KEY CHALLENGES</strong>

• The hotel is located underneath the flight path, hence ECC had to operate with careful planning and coordination in order to overcome the obstacles created by space & location.

• The flight path also resulted in the installation of a smaller tower crane which was not enough to cover the six floors and even mobile cranes were not allowed without prior approval of the DCA.

• It was very difficult to run all the electrical and mechanical and other IT and MEP services in 40cm void provided in the design.
