It’s been quite the junior year! This year marks my best and yet hardest year of my time here at Syracuse University. Through all the hard work and busy days I have been rewarded with the great honor of representing Syracuse University as a one of six engineers on a journey to Dubai to collaborate, learn, and experience a civil engineering internship. An opportunity of a lifetime!

Day 19, 20 - Burj Al Salam Day 1&2

Up and out early. Today we visited the Burj Al Salam (translation the tower of Salam). This building is located on the Sheikh Zayed road, one of the, if not the most popular road of Dubai. The Burj Al Salam project is a mixed use high rise building it is a 202 meter tower and 50 meter tall car park. DCC took over construction on the 6th floor and was awarded the project for a contract value of 850 million AED $231 million, with a contract duration of 31 months.

It was a long morning due to being extra tired, due to a alte night studying for the midterm. We had a three hours to study for the midterm prior to taking the exam. There was a ton of information we were responsible so I spent just about the entire time to review, with the exception or having a quick lunch.

Here are some pictures or the construction site, Enjoy:

Thanks for following, Sean.
