One Km-Tall Nakheel Tower in Dubai to Use 1,500 Construction Equipment

Developer Nakheel in Dubai, UAE has launched a multi-billion dollar blue-print to build the world's tallest tower, using state-of-the-art architectural design, technology and construction equipment amidst the plunging global financial crisis.

The Nakheel tower, at the centre of the Nakheel port and harbour complex, is expected to be more than 1000 metres or a 1 kilometre high. To date, the world's tallest building is the Burj Dubai at 818m. Nakheel's project will have more than 200 floors and 150 lifts. It will provide homes and offices for 100,000 people. It is predicted that it will use 1,500 units of heavy construction equipment and that 30,000 workers would be involved in its construction.

Chris O'Donnell, Nakeel's Australian chief executive commented: "At more than a kilometre high this is an unbelievably ground-breaking design."

Boddington Gold Mine Needs Mining Equipment

The Boddington Gold Mine - about 130km south-east of Perth in Western Australia is the largest undeveloped gold mine in the region, it is gearing to be the highest producing gold mine once operations ramp up and as mining equipment are purchased over the next few years.

The $2.4bn project was initially a tripartite venture between Newmont Mining, AngloGold Ashanti and Newcrest Mining. In 2006 Newmont bought Newcrest’s 22.22% share, bringing its interest to 66.67% and ending any Australian ownership. AngloGold owns the remaining 33.33%.

Sources say that recent exploration has identified an extensive 19.57Moz of gold bedrock resource, which was the basis of the Boddington Gold Mine Expansion Project. Approved last 2006, the project will involve extracting the hard gold/copper ore that lies beneath depleted oxide pits at Boddington’s original mine site.

The project has an attributable capital budget of between A$0.8bn and A$0.9bn. At year-end, the overall project was approximately 65% complete, with engineering and procurement of mining equipment underway. Construction of the treatment plant was approximately 32% complete. At its peak the project is expected to employ some 2,000 workers. Once operation begins it is expected that around 650 full-time staff will be required.
