The Burj Al Arab is one of the most striking buildings in the [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] world. At 320 metres tall, rising from its own custom built island the Burj Al Arab or Arabian Tower is the world's [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] tallest hotel and is immediately recognisable throughout the [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] world - its distinctive sail shape making it an icon for the Emirate.

In [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] the recent BBC series Engineering [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] Connections the presenter Richard Hammond revealed how behind the grandeur and opulence of the Burj Al Arab hotel, one of the most distinctive architectural achievements in [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] the world, lie some remarkable and astounding feats of engineering.

During the programme Richard [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] uses everyday objects [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] to demonstrate the various principles used in the construction process which, based on the scale and location of the hotel, was truly challenging.

The construction of the [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] island required incredibly strong sea defences to protect it - this was accomplished [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] by a chain of connected tyres to dissipate the formidable power of waves of up to two metres.

The island is over 300 metres [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] offshore and constantly exposed to fierce desert heat. Extreme temperatures presented challenges to the steel construction due to the expansion and contraction of the huge girders required to creat the exoskeleton.

Currently available to view on the BBC iPlayer (sorry no embed available at time of writing - please leave a comment if you find one) this first programme about the building of the Burj Al Arab is a great start [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] to the third series of Engineering Connection.
