Im an architect and to blame architects for this sewage nightmare near the end of the video is quite insane and shows how little the narrator knows of the building process. Its the local government’s fault for not having adequate infrastructure. No rational architect nor plumbing engineer will turn down a huge landmark building just cause the client and government refuse to provide proper waste infrastructure. Will you blame the car designer or dealership for failing and crumbling roads? Or the lonely electrician for city wide power outages? Or your doctor for people’s overall unhealthy life choices? The answer to all these is… no.
The architects knew this in advance. Let me ask you, as an architect if someone told you to build a sky scraper but there would be no sewer system would you do it? I guess you can get anyone to do anything for enough money.
No builder would even begin the construction without plumbing to connect to Or plans for its building. Were going ahead regardless.. we'll worry about That later.
Well their poop truck hauling system works. So who is to say it is wrong? It's just totally retarded, like something an alcoholic would do. They don't think rationally
Bullshit. At the end is all about the money. The arquitecto accepted and got paid millions not to mention recognition and fame but probably after this theyll be infamous

Honestly I can guarantee you Dubai, their rulers or the people that are there give absolutely 2 craps about you coming to Dubai! It’s one of the most visited cities on the planet you not going makes zero difference!
What's shocking is that the city allowed this building to get built and was unwilling to install a larger sewer line to transport the waste water to the treatment plant. They had some 10 years from initially planning to grand opening to get this line installed. One has to wonder why they didn't do it.
Some nations are really jealous of progress bt this guy's did the unthinkable....dubai is the best city to ever travel in the world after Nairobi,kenya
As a resident, I can confirm that this used to be an issue in some communities, particularly downtown and suburban projects. Fortunately, 70km of sewage canal along with another 140km of links was built back in 2015, so it's not smelly anymore.

London already has a comprehensive sewer system, but London's new 'super sewer' - officially called The Thames Tideway Tunnel is due for completion in 2025 and will augment the current system. This 25 km long super sewer consists of tunnels with an internal diameter of 7.2 metres (24 feet) and runs deep under the River Thames. This project will cost a total of £4.9bn to complete when the £1.1bn spent for preparatory works is included. That's the civilised, sane way to develop a city and ready it for the future, rather relying on septic tanks.
Is it the same London where people are left to burn to death in Grenfell and still no accountability over 5 years later? The London where a high-rise building was given the green light in CW and only had one staircase and then the LFB had to boycott it? Where we constantly have almost none of our high-rise buildings operate as they should and all buyers/tenants complain about poor quality (and even mould in Landmark Pinnacle) and where a simple cooling system never works? Yeah, please tell us how London is superior to Dubai just because shit goes down the right pipe. England is very good at writing/saying the right things but has a very poor track record.
As an architect, I can say that we spent way more time arguing with developer, builder, structural, PHE, HVAC, electrical and interior design consultants than we do actually designing the building.

Also their RUclips handlers make them put a catchy title with clickbaity graphics RUclips has gone to crap lately. Not just the algorithm but the catering towards 5 year olds with 5 second attention span I blame the bleed over from TikTok
and it was half nonsense... "anywhere else the waste would end up in a septic system before making its way to the municipal wastewater treatment facility". At full occupancy, 13 tons of waste, but jk its partially vacant only 8 tons.... oh wait, jk we forgot that people take showers so let's just round that up back to 13
Yeah the production value of this video is pretty low. No original content.. just AI generated narration over recycled stock footage. I hate this format with a passion.
Trucks and truck drivers cost much less than all that extra steel, dredging dirt, paying waste fees. I agree, it was totally retarded. Proof that rich people can be really dumb
The problem is, stupid rich people fucked up big time. The city's sewer system had already been completed, when they discovered the Burj Kalifa's sewage would overwhelm it. Instead of retrofitting the city system to accommodate that skyscraper's 💩, they chose poop trucks instead. All thanks to the dumb ass sheik that rules that city. I have no respect for him at all. He beats and imprisons, kidnaps his wife, daughters. Freakin scumbag. Quit wearing dresses, ya freak. And take a shower

I would’ve thought putting in a state-of-the-art sewage system in a building like that would be more cost effective than trucking it out. Much respect to the people who take care of it. I hope they’re well-paid, cuz imagine if they ever were unhappy and decided to go on strike.
The piping configuration we use in sanitary stacks to prevent blowouts and hydraulic jump are called velocity break. Additionally, the water closets that were mentioned as being installed on their own independent stacks were done as such to avoid being installed in the Suds Pressure Zone. As a union plumber, who builds highrises on the East Coast, it’s absolutely mind boggling to hear that the Emiratis built this city up without sufficient sanitary piping. Its a recipe for inefficiency, unsustainability, and, ultimately, disaster.
Not to mention Disease. I am appalled in knowing they designed this "Jewel" of a state of the art building without having installed a proper sewage system. That is what happens when you cut corners. You literally waste money.

Why don’t you build it then. Sometimes, you cannot expect everything to be in place. Architects all over the world especially US have invested their time onto this skyscraper and they will have to improvise according to the plan. To build a marvelous structure like Burj Khalifa itself is an achievement especially in a world where people don’t know that Dubai is a city and not a country. Also, the country lacks resources to achieve everything it can and yet there are trollers on social media criticizing a country for its vision.
There are a lot of those hypercars covered in "tan" - Sand/Dust. Many young men will buy a new supercar for status. But when they can't keep up with the payments, they abandon the cars and skip the country (UAE) because unlike in the west where the car simply gets repossessed and your credit takes a hit, in the UAE you'll be imprisoned for debt....
They need to figure out a way to meter monitor water usage. have a command center read excessive use. It seems unusual for a building to be creating that much waste.
They actually do. DEWA (Dubai utilities) has an app, and they also send you an SMS if you have excessive usage. Also these sewage trucks haven't been in Dubai for years - I've never seen one and I live here. Think it was a short term problem when downtown was being built in 2009

Not just the one truck! Driving standards "over there" are at least "somewhat creative", and the possibility of a significant part of the "fleet" being involved in a major pile-up is certainly non-zero. Add the hot, humid climate of this part of the World, and you'd be "wanting to get out of Dodge" very quickly indeed.😁
It looks like the trucks almost form a huge pipeline of poop. To think the absence of waste water removal was intentionally not installed is mind boggling.
Maybe this is what happens in a city that is growing so fast however I assume the sewer system will be upgraded because the current system using trucks is too expensive.
watching this video and hearing the narrator use lots of poop synonyms words like trash, waste, stinky garbage, feces, smelly truckload, etc, then at 6:36 he straight up just says "that's still a lot of shit" took me by surprise haha, all that effort of trying to be careful with words gone down the pan

Where do the trucks dump the waste? Are there microorganisms that eat the waste? It seems like It would be a worse problem than otherwise due to so much sand.
Did you watch the video (or saw it through the end)? The content creator said that the trucks wait for HOURS just to dump the wastes in the sewage treatment plant outside of the city.
Many of them get tired of waiting in line and just dump it in the desert somewhere or in man holes which lead straight to the sea. I remember this was a problem at one point no idea if it still is. Back at this time is was 3 even 4 days wait in the poop line.
It would be great if the good ol' USA could step in and have a direct pipeline built to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. in DC or to the entire state of Delaware.
I'm so glad I watched this video. I don't know if it wad meant to be as funny but I was cracking up after the narrator started talking about how it actually worked. When he started talking about bounce back, images went through my head that shouldn't have lol
I should be shocked, this should come as an absolute surprise that one of the most modern building in the world relies on trucks to carry off its sewage, but it does not. It does not for many reasons, not the least of which is I have noticed a trend in new building projects, especially in gentrification and municipal funded projects I call Disneytfication. The go up quickly, they seem wholesome, safe, clean, modern, and free from all manner of ills, but it's all a facade. Plastic and paper mache, party tricks and barbie dolls, and lurking right under the bright, shiny exterior are is all sorts of gimmicks and tricks all held together with duct tape and string.
no. at some point the city will return to the sands. an empty, crumbling symbol of human hubris. the arabs grandfathers rode camels. their grandchildren will ride camels. right now? theyre riding the wave. they know it isnt going to last for ever. and all you fools act like this is permanent, like it will still be there in a century or two. dubai was just a random hole in the sand a century ago. its not like london, or rome, or jerusalem with thousands of years behind it... its new, its fake, its temporary.
One large road tanker should be able to clear all the liquid waste for one day. .13 tonnes of waste is about 13000 liters . Large trucks typically have capacities ranging from 5,500 to 11,600 US gallons (20,800 to 43,900 L; 4,580 to 9,660 imp gal).
Underrated video. Maybe an addendum to it could show how the shit actually gets to the trucks. Is it just a big concrete shit pit underneath ? Or is it exposed ? Do the shit trucks have their own vacuum pumps ?
I work for Dubai Government, this is very NOT TRUE, the only time when this use to happen is that when the building was being built and wasn't connected to the sewage plant, After Burj Khalifa was built it was connected to sewage plant in Al Wasan Area close to dragon Mart. Just Imagine all Dubai Town and all the buildings are all connected to a grease trap, that doesn't make sense, even thousands off trucks wouldn't be enough to carry the waste, there will be not space for fancy cars there. It will be just filled with trucks.
I certainly would not criticise the architects, who must have known their profession well. Rather let us acknowledge that they designed what they were asked for and it was a conscious decision by the owner to design it this way. Perhaps the most astounding news in the video was the waiting time for the sewage tankers at the municipal treatment plant and one must assume that in a rapidly growing city like Dubai, this issue will be in the process of being resolved.
This is untrue, the building is connected to the city sewerage system and human waste goes into the pipes connected to the sewer. The vehicles you speak of take trash dropped down the rubbish shoots to the city landfill. Why publish false information?

They charge a 5% VAT fee which is a tax. If your a traveller, make sure you say so and when you leave they will refund that for you at the airport. Especially in large luxury items
Even the Burj Kalifa has nothing on the speed at which my motions can come out at times... 💩💨😲 _Sent from the toilet of a TGV that's flying through the French countryside at 320km/h or 201mph..._ 🚄🇫🇷💨😉
Been there (Dubai), nothing but glitter and lights and tons of bling and expensive. However, they do have some fantastic architecture there. Many awesome buildings, an architects dream.
Actually, at one truck of LOADS a day. It's like one truck a day commuting cost. Even if they bought 2 or 3 or 4 trucks just to have an overage capability, with one truck commuting back and forth daily. The daily cost is most likely less then the interest on the millions of dollars in loan payments that would have been spent on such a long pipeline of a waste system. Shockingly it may actually be a better more cost effective way of doing things. NO SHIT... The other question is. Because they are having so many buildings doing this from all around the city. Is it still cumulatively cost effective considering the combined costs of all buildings, compared to the costs of building an entire sewer system? It actually might be. HOW CRAZY. At first I thought the trucking idea was crazy. Just because it isn't how America or most other countries do things. But when you realize how small Dubai is. Then use those numbers for your comparison. Each building may have had to be charged way more year over year to just be added to the sewer system and cause that system the huge cost of being in larged. If in the future these costs change. Or if something else happens. They can always hook all the building together to the system then. And who knows that huge building could be blown down because of unpaid electic bills or electrical shorts and bad wiring connections within the foundation way before it becoming cheaper to hook to the city sewer system. I'm not wishing anything bad against them. But these are all possible scenarios as time goes by. After all, the building relies on very expensive rentals and costs. In a city that needs tourists to support itself. And people, thinking, and trends change over time. And why does anyone even now desire to be in Dubai? What's really there?
Seriously? It's the government that's responsible. They decide what's done and what's not. They didn't provide the funds. Dont blame on poor engineers. In fact the device you are using is made by an engineer /machinery made by an engineer
That's quite a lenient rate compared to Frances 16%, Germanys 18% and the UKs 20%, mind you... ...And that's before you consider the fact that German income tax is at least 40% *before* MwST comes into the picture! 😲
It is true that the Burj Khalifa was not connected to the sewage system, but it was connected some time after its construction, people still think that it was not connected, I hope this rumor stops.

Not this "crap' again. The Burj Khalifa has always been connected to the sewerage system. The famous orange trucks have not been seen for over a decade and were only used while a sewage treatment plant was being finished. This nonsense is peddled by Dubai-haters and yes, I did live in Dubai. For sixteen years until last year, so I know what was going on.
06:33 That image of the trucks show more than 13 cubic meter of storage. 1 cubic meter of pure water is 1 ton and a quick google seems to indicate that wastewater weight 70% of pure water. Therefor 13 cubic meter sewage would be 9,1 ton kg. Each truck is probably around 20 cubic meter.... Meaning a truck can take up to ca 11 ton. Seems to be more than one truck in that image to me... Is ALL sewage trucked out of the city? LoL
Burj khalifa is designed for 35000 occupancy , it has 900 residential flats assuming average of 4 residents per flat , they will use 500 litres of water per day for drinking pooping bathing washing etc. That's 1800 tons per day from the residents alone. I still haven't added the 2-3 kg poop/urine they do per day which will take the figure to roughly 9 tons more. So dear you need roughly 140 truckload to be moved out of the city and this for residents alone. Commercial offices , hotels , restaurants will add roughly 200 truckloads more. And one important detail you missed, sewage water is heavier than pure water. Your calculations are wrong ,13 cubic meter sewage should weight 14-15 tons and not 9 tons.
@@dv5625 1 cubic meter of Sewage, sludge weighs 721 kilograms [kg] | Density of Sewage, sludge (material) Sewage, sludge weighs 721 kg/m³ (45.01056 lb/ft³) | Maybe Aqua-Calc site is wrong.
Construction is expensive but gas is cheap there. Also, cheap foreign labourers are abundant in Dubai. Planners might have seen that "Sh!t Loads" were more cost effective and less cumbersome than upgrading the sewer system of an entire city.
"Dump my smelly truckload!"!!!! I can't breathe!!😂😂 I'm going to use that phrase in the office later to anounce my visit to make dirt in the rest room!
This is information is very outdated. Burj Khalifa and most of Dubai was connected to a sewage system back in 2015. Please consider correcting your video.
Even though they didn't connect up the waste water sewerage plumbing first, I believe that even though they didn't connect the sewerage up the usual way first, I am thinking it is still be possible to run a new system "from the septic waste plant facility that would be only for this building alone, And they could build it underground running the most direct way, straight to this sky scrapper, the Burj Khalifa? even though things are usually done the other way around, I believe that if they wanted in the future I believe it could still happen, I mean if they haven't had any problems with the trucks transporting the waste, then I believe that while this method seems to be working fine now that they could still change over in the future to the other method, I believe that it would not be that much of an issue, if they built it from the waste facility to the building, obviously there would need to be one day within 24 hrs, for the change over process to occur, but that would be possible I would think.even if part of the Burj Khalifas sewerage system was changed over part by part over a few weeks, on the grand scale of things I wouldn't think that it was impossible at all, they could do that I believe, it seems like a big issue but if you are talking about big construction contracts for the future over the years ahead things could still logistically work out.

I went to Dubai and in the hotel there was definitely a plumbing problem. We had to change rooms. The hotel was really nice, but I could tell there was some sewage problems. How are they going to build such a thing and don’t have it connected to a waste water treatment facility?

The Indus Valley civilization which existed from 3300 BC to 1300 BC already had centralized sewage system back then. The Dubai civilization still can’t reach the level of the Indus Valley.😊
I think he's a bit exaggerating with the 'unlucky truckers'. I assume it's just a closed system. Trucker connects giant hose to some port, opens te valve, waits, closes the valve, disconnects, drive. It's not like he has to use a spade to manually dig the shit out of some bassin.

Dubai is not a country. It is a city in the Emirate of Dubai, which is part of the United Arab Emirates. Not all the emirates have loads of money. The emirate of Abu Dhabi is wealthy and ended up paying for the Burj Khalifa when Dubai couldn't

@@mikemiller659 Again someone just loves to shit without thinking :D this damn video talks about it. Dubai earns from tourism stuff, it doesn't do Oil lol. Just because a country does it doesn't mean it means that affects every city. Dubai actually when it comes to wealth has not much, it's A.D which is the boss in that. Considering Dubai had to take a "loan" from A.D, you can pretty much make out that their financials are quite separate even if they are grouped as one when being analyzed.
Or not. Hire people from Developing countries because they need some sort of survival money for their lives and their families and abuse them. Sitting in stinking poop for 2-4 days is beyond disgusting and probably a health issue.

@@fazindubai4753 that would be a lot of craps! I was shocked that they don't have sewers to handle all of those turds and have to truck it away. 🤢
What's shocking is that the city allowed this building to get built and was unwilling to install a larger sewer line to transport the waste water to the treatment plant. They had some 10 years from initially planning to grand opening to get this line installed. One has to wonder why they didn't do it.
When flexing is more important than hygiene
Very expensive
They needed to expand and increase the size of the city sewer massively for the skycreeper
Some nations are really jealous of progress bt this guy's did the unthinkable....dubai is the best city to ever travel in the world after Nairobi,kenya
As a resident, I can confirm that this used to be an issue in some communities, particularly downtown and suburban projects. Fortunately, 70km of sewage canal along with another 140km of links was built back in 2015, so it's not smelly anymore.
@@framedthunder6436 so you're telling me trucking away 13 tons of shit a day, every day, for the entire life of the building, is somehow cheaper

London already has a comprehensive sewer system, but London's new 'super sewer' - officially called The Thames Tideway Tunnel is due for completion in 2025 and will augment the current system. This 25 km long super sewer consists of tunnels with an internal diameter of 7.2 metres (24 feet) and runs deep under the River Thames. This project will cost a total of £4.9bn to complete when the £1.1bn spent for preparatory works is included. That's the civilised, sane way to develop a city and ready it for the future, rather relying on septic tanks.
Cool. But here you can't tunnel in sand.
@@ksavage681is there only sand underneath? or is there also some kind of dirt that would be sturdy enough for tunnels?
maybe it would be far too deep
Sounds like you have a LOT of shit in London))
Is it the same London where people are left to burn to death in Grenfell and still no accountability over 5 years later? The London where a high-rise building was given the green light in CW and only had one staircase and then the LFB had to boycott it? Where we constantly have almost none of our high-rise buildings operate as they should and all buyers/tenants complain about poor quality (and even mould in Landmark Pinnacle) and where a simple cooling system never works? Yeah, please tell us how London is superior to Dubai just because shit goes down the right pipe.
England is very good at writing/saying the right things but has a very poor track record.
As an architect, I can say that we spent way more time arguing with developer, builder, structural, PHE, HVAC, electrical and interior design consultants than we do actually designing the building.

I said the same thing reaching halfway into the video. The repetitive narrating was getting to me
and it was half nonsense... "anywhere else the waste would end up in a septic system before making its way to the municipal wastewater treatment facility". At full occupancy, 13 tons of waste, but jk its partially vacant only 8 tons.... oh wait, jk we forgot that people take showers so let's just round that up back to 13
Yeah the production value of this video is pretty low. No original content.. just AI generated narration over recycled stock footage. I hate this format with a passion.
It wasn’t cost effective to have the building connected to the sewage system but having trucks take the waste day in and out is?
The sewage system of the entire city cant handle it
Trucks and truck drivers cost much less than all that extra steel, dredging dirt, paying waste fees. I agree, it was totally retarded. Proof that rich people can be really dumb
Yup. Politicians the world over only think short-term, except for their own pension.
The problem is, stupid rich people fucked up big time. The city's sewer system had already been completed, when they discovered the Burj Kalifa's sewage would overwhelm it. Instead of retrofitting the city system to accommodate that skyscraper's 💩, they chose poop trucks instead. All thanks to the dumb ass sheik that rules that city. I have no respect for him at all.

I would’ve thought putting in a state-of-the-art sewage system in a building like that would be more cost effective than trucking it out. Much respect to the people who take care of it. I hope they’re well-paid, cuz imagine if they ever were unhappy and decided to go on strike.
It's Dubai. I'd say it's safe to assume the workers are neither well-paid nor very happy. Still they're not going to go on strike
Two floors in the basement would have been perfect for treatment plant. Every tall building should have its own built in.
Blue collars and all manual workers are very underpaid in UAE and severely exploited. UAE is not a democracy so tge worker's rights are nit protected
You poop,they scoop😂😂😂😂😂
&$#% hits the fan
LETS be frank... this is the worlds tallest porta potty
good analogy
I'd stay there at least once.
The piping configuration we use in sanitary stacks to prevent blowouts and hydraulic jump are called velocity break. Additionally, the water closets that were mentioned as being installed on their own independent stacks were done as such to avoid being installed in the Suds Pressure Zone. As a union plumber, who builds highrises on the East Coast, it’s absolutely mind boggling to hear that the Emiratis built this city up without sufficient sanitary piping. Its a recipe for inefficiency, unsustainability, and, ultimately, disaster.
🔥🔥🔥dark, i cant wrap my head around!
Not to mention Disease. I am appalled in knowing they designed this "Jewel" of a state of the art building without having installed a proper sewage system. That is what happens when you cut corners. You literally waste money.

Why don’t you build it then. Sometimes, you cannot expect everything to be in place. Architects all over the world especially US have invested their time onto this skyscraper and they will have to improvise according to the plan. To build a marvelous structure like Burj Khalifa itself is an achievement especially in a world where people don’t know that Dubai is a city and not a country. Also, the country lacks resources to achieve everything it can and yet there are trollers on social media criticizing a country for its vision.

Imagine 2 of these trucks in a head to head collision on the highway, flooding all the nice hypercars in brown rain.😃
There are a lot of those hypercars covered in "tan" - Sand/Dust. Many young men will buy a new supercar for status. But when they can't keep up with the payments, they abandon the cars and skip the country (UAE) because unlike in the west where the car simply gets repossessed and your credit takes a hit, in the UAE you'll be imprisoned for debt....
Happens regularly all over the world!
They need to figure out a way to meter monitor water usage. have a command center read excessive use. It seems unusual for a building to be creating that much waste.
They actually do. DEWA (Dubai utilities) has an app, and they also send you an SMS if you have excessive usage. Also these sewage trucks haven't been in Dubai for years - I've never seen one and I live here. Think it was a short term problem when downtown was being built in 2009

Thirteen tons per day is less than one truckload. It seems this video intentionally exaggerates that line of trucks.

Not just the one truck! Driving standards "over there" are at least "somewhat creative", and the possibility of a significant part of the "fleet" being involved in a major pile-up is certainly non-zero.
Add the hot, humid climate of this part of the World, and you'd be "wanting to get out of Dodge" very quickly indeed.😁
@@phils4634 and so, a driver thought about dumping in the sand.... And the rest is history!

So do the trucks pick it all up like once a week or is there just a continuous stream of trucks constantly going in and out of the building nonstop?
It looks like the trucks almost form a huge pipeline of poop. To think the absence of waste water removal was intentionally not installed is mind boggling.

That made me laugh.
Where do the trucks dump the waste? Are there microorganisms that eat the waste? It seems like It would be a worse problem than otherwise due to so much sand.
Did you watch the video (or saw it through the end)? The content creator said that the trucks wait for HOURS just to dump the wastes in the sewage treatment plant outside of the city.
Many of them get tired of waiting in line and just dump it in the desert somewhere or in man holes which lead straight to the sea. I remember this was a problem at one point no idea if it still is. Back at this time is was 3 even 4 days wait in the poop line.
Probably where poor people live, same as everywhere else.

I should be shocked, this should come as an absolute surprise that one of the most modern building in the world relies on trucks to carry off its sewage, but it does not. It does not for many reasons, not the least of which is I have noticed a trend in new building projects, especially in gentrification and municipal funded projects I call Disneytfication. The go up quickly, they seem wholesome, safe, clean, modern, and free from all manner of ills, but it's all a facade. Plastic and paper mache, party tricks and barbie dolls, and lurking right under the bright, shiny exterior are is all sorts of gimmicks and tricks all held together with duct tape and string.
Would you consider this as bad infrastructure planning?
At some point the city is going to have to rebuild the sewage systems to deal with these buildings.
kinda like nyc
no. at some point the city will return to the sands. an empty, crumbling symbol of human hubris.

@@DanRustle Regardless if NYC rebuilds their sewer system they will still be knee deep in shit as long as they have a Democrat governor and mayor.
One large road tanker should be able to clear all the liquid waste for one day. .13 tonnes of waste is about 13000 liters .
Large trucks typically have capacities ranging from 5,500 to 11,600 US gallons (20,800 to 43,900 L; 4,580 to 9,660 imp gal).
Underrated video. Maybe an addendum to it could show how the shit actually gets to the trucks. Is it just a big concrete shit pit underneath ? Or is it exposed ? Do the shit trucks have their own vacuum pumps ?
Yes please. I want to know all the shitty details of this place.
It probably goes to some huge septic tank near the bottom of the building and has pumps connected to it to transfer it to trucks
'Shitter was full!'
A mind blowing video. Thanks for sharing your findings with us 😮
I work for Dubai Government, this is very NOT TRUE, the only time when this use to happen is that when the building was being built and wasn't connected to the sewage plant, After Burj Khalifa was built it was connected to sewage plant in Al Wasan Area close to dragon Mart. Just Imagine all Dubai Town and all the buildings are all connected to a grease trap, that doesn't make sense, even thousands off trucks wouldn't be enough to carry the waste, there will be not space for fancy cars there. It will be just filled with trucks.
I certainly would not criticise the architects, who must have known their profession well. Rather let us acknowledge that they designed what they were asked for and it was a conscious decision by the owner to design it this way. Perhaps the most astounding news in the video was the waiting time for the sewage tankers at the municipal treatment plant and one must assume that in a rapidly growing city like Dubai, this issue will be in the process of being resolved.
YESYESYES!! Architects did their job! What the client does with it is another thing. Hopefully, they can upgrade the current system. I'd stay there.
This is untrue, the building is connected to the city sewerage system and human waste goes into the pipes connected to the sewer. The vehicles you speak of take trash dropped down the rubbish shoots to the city landfill. Why publish false information?

They charge a 5% VAT fee which is a tax. If your a traveller, make sure you say so and when you leave they will refund that for you at the airport. Especially in large luxury items

_Sent from the toilet of a TGV that's flying through the French countryside at 320km/h or 201mph..._ 🚄🇫🇷💨😉
Been there (Dubai), nothing but glitter and lights and tons of bling and expensive. However, they do have some fantastic architecture there. Many awesome buildings, an architects dream.
How about a plan be drawn up and implemented add the waste to the municipal sewer system and phase out the need for trucking?
Actually, at one truck of LOADS a day.
It's like one truck a day commuting cost.
Even if they bought 2 or 3 or 4 trucks just to have an overage capability, with one truck commuting back and forth daily.
The daily cost is most likely less then the interest on the millions of dollars in loan payments that would have been spent on such a long pipeline of a waste system.
Shockingly it may actually be a better more cost effective way of doing things.
NO SHIT...
The other question is.
Because they are having so many buildings doing this from all around the city.
Is it still cumulatively cost effective considering the combined costs of all buildings, compared to the costs of building an entire sewer system?
It actually might be.
HOW CRAZY.
At first I thought the trucking idea was crazy.
Just because it isn't how America or most other countries do things.
But when you realize how small Dubai is.
Then use those numbers for your comparison.
Each building may have had to be charged way more year over year to just be added to the sewer system and cause that system the huge cost of being in larged.
If in the future these costs change. Or if something else happens. They can always hook all the building together to the system then.
And who knows that huge building could be blown down because of unpaid electic bills or electrical shorts and bad wiring connections within the foundation way before it becoming cheaper to hook to the city sewer system.
I'm not wishing anything bad against them. But these are all possible scenarios as time goes by.
After all, the building relies on very expensive rentals and costs. In a city that needs tourists to support itself.
And people, thinking, and trends change over time.
And why does anyone even now desire to be in Dubai?
What's really there?
These Waste tankers are called Honey Wagons for attracting flying insects after the incredible 'nectar' contained within.
Are not architects are actually civil engineers! why such a mess?! the responsible are civil engineers...
Seriously? It's the government that's responsible. They decide what's done and what's not. They didn't provide the funds. Dont blame on poor engineers. In fact the device you are using is made by an engineer /machinery made by an engineer
When the project works praise the architect. When failed blame the engineers.
VAT was introduced in 2018 (if I can remember correctly) and there already was 5% VAT when I left Dubai in 2019 😑😑😑😑😑
That's quite a lenient rate compared to Frances 16%, Germanys 18% and the UKs 20%, mind you...
...And that's before you consider the fact that German income tax is at least 40% *before* MwST comes into the picture! 😲
You took almost 8 minutes to say the the Burj Khalifa's waste is removed using trucks.
It is true that the Burj Khalifa was not connected to the sewage system, but it was connected some time after its construction, people still think that it was not connected, I hope this rumor stops.
Exactly. Upon completion it was not. Eventually once the sewers were upgraded it was integrated.

Not this "crap' again. The Burj Khalifa has always been connected to the sewerage system. The famous orange trucks have not been seen for over a decade and were only used while a sewage treatment plant was being finished. This nonsense is peddled by Dubai-haters and yes, I did live in Dubai. For sixteen years until last year, so I know what was going on.
So they have built sewage systems now ?
06:33 That image of the trucks show more than 13 cubic meter of storage. 1 cubic meter of pure water is 1 ton and a quick google seems to indicate that wastewater weight 70% of pure water. Therefor 13 cubic meter sewage would be 9,1 ton kg. Each truck is probably around 20 cubic meter.... Meaning a truck can take up to ca 11 ton. Seems to be more than one truck in that image to me... Is ALL sewage trucked out of the city? LoL
Burj khalifa is designed for 35000 occupancy , it has 900 residential flats assuming average of 4 residents per flat , they will use 500 litres of water per day for drinking pooping bathing washing etc. That's 1800 tons per day from the residents alone. I still haven't added the 2-3 kg poop/urine they do per day which will take the figure to roughly 9 tons more. So dear you need roughly 140 truckload to be moved out of the city and this for residents alone. Commercial offices , hotels , restaurants will add roughly 200 truckloads more. And one important detail you missed, sewage water is heavier than pure water. Your calculations are wrong ,13 cubic meter sewage should weight 14-15 tons and not 9 tons.
@@dv5625 1 cubic meter of Sewage, sludge weighs 721 kilograms [kg] | Density of Sewage, sludge (material)
Sewage, sludge weighs 721 kg/m³ (45.01056 lb/ft³) | Maybe Aqua-Calc site is wrong.
Construction is expensive but gas is cheap there. Also, cheap foreign labourers are abundant in Dubai. Planners might have seen that "Sh!t Loads" were more cost effective and less cumbersome than upgrading the sewer system of an entire city.
Sounds like a good candidate for those new fangled self driving trucks.

This is information is very outdated. Burj Khalifa and most of Dubai was connected to a sewage system back in 2015. Please consider correcting your video.
The poo reaches terminal velocity
alright man im dying lol
Even though they didn't connect up the waste water sewerage plumbing first, I believe that even though they didn't connect the sewerage up the usual way first, I am thinking it is still be possible to run a new system "from the septic waste plant facility that would be only for this building alone,
And they could build it underground running the most direct way, straight to this sky scrapper, the Burj Khalifa? even though things are usually done the other way around, I believe that if they wanted in the future I believe it could still happen,
I mean if they haven't had any problems with the trucks transporting the waste, then I believe that while this method seems to be working fine now that they could still change over in the future to the other method, I believe that it would not be that much of an issue, if they built it from the waste facility to the building, obviously there would need to be one day within 24 hrs, for the change over process to occur, but that would be possible I would think.even if part of the Burj Khalifas sewerage system was changed over part by part over a few weeks, on the grand scale of things I wouldn't think that it was impossible at all, they could do that I believe, it seems like a big issue but if you are talking about big construction contracts for the future over the years ahead things could still logistically work out.
You really do have a lot of thoughts and beliefs about the matter.

"Cut costs", managing that fleet of trucks can't be cheap.

So basically, you are staying in a very elaborate tent. I used to want to go there but between the way this place operates, the way you can go to jail behind almost anything….. the way they treat their poor (which would be me), I’m so good. 😒
Successful people don't become that way overnight. What most people see at a glance- wealth, a great career, purpose-is what results to hard work and hustle over time
speaking of been successful. I know I am blessed if not I wouldn't have met a spectacular trader like
King.arobertson
1 have been surviving through my deposit with him, am so glad we connected onIG when I did. I'm earring € 25,000 weekly with him
Now glancing through his view display and have realized how important this is to be getting involved I want this also for myself
that’s him on instagram right.
Me too I really want to go all in with him & I see he’s quit visibly active with so much activities that has encouraged me to want to rely.
This is true and just not this tower but all UAE works that way
Fun fact, if terrorists one day had the idea of all shitting at the same time and flushing the toilet at the same synchronized moment, all the plumbing below the building would cause immeasurable odorous damage in an immense explosion of shit!
The Indus Valley civilization which existed from 3300 BC to 1300 BC already had centralized sewage system back then. The Dubai civilization still can’t reach the level of the Indus Valley.😊
I think he's a bit exaggerating with the 'unlucky truckers'. I assume it's just a closed system. Trucker connects giant hose to some port, opens te valve, waits, closes the valve, disconnects, drive. It's not like he has to use a spade to manually dig the shit out of some bassin.
So Dubai isn’t the land of tomorrow
it is the world of feces
@@PlasticPellets 🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂
@@AzayzaYiseverywhere bro ur name soooo good
What happens if the truckers go on a strike? I assume something will hit the fan.
This country uses slave labor. That’s not a hyperbole. Literal bad ol fashion slavery.
imagine it just throws the poo in the sky and falls to someone XD
I like how your mind works💀💀
got a laugh when he said "bounce back", I'm picturing folks on the lower floors when they are on the seat, getting a mud volcano blast all over their backside! 🤣
Well it would be like that . Shit spray coming through every faucet, toilet, tub, sink , etc. at high velocity.
@@eddenoy321 literally a sh**t show!💩 🤣
Dont call the drivers poor individual's. Their getting paid.
Couldn't have said that better.
@@hardasnails11b15 agree
you can get paid and still be poor
@@CeezGeez True but now you're guessing.
@@chad77657i’m just going by the average garbage truck drivers who don’t make that much. and there’s plenty of stories of construction workers living in horrible conditions so i wouldn’t be surprised if they are indeed poor.
Dubai is not a country. It is a city in the Emirate of Dubai, which is part of the United Arab Emirates. Not all the emirates have loads of money. The emirate of Abu Dhabi is wealthy and ended up paying for the Burj Khalifa when Dubai couldn't
ok, I watched this while having breakfast.
I can assure viewers that men "visiting the house" at Burj Kalifa are acutely aware of the quantity (and the quality!) of what they are "putting down the pan."
2:29 no it doesn't, I've been there. Everything is beautiful EXCEPT Burj Khalifa, hotels and restaurants around it. All houses are in dire situation
wait till there oil is depleted.
@@mikemiller659 Again someone just loves to shit without thinking :D this damn video talks about it. Dubai earns from tourism stuff, it doesn't do Oil lol. Just because a country does it doesn't mean it means that affects every city. Dubai actually when it comes to wealth has not much, it's A.D which is the boss in that. Considering Dubai had to take a "loan" from A.D, you can pretty much make out that their financials are quite separate even if they are grouped as one when being analyzed.
So the answer to the question of why burj khalifa is not connected to the sewer system is “they just decided not to?”
Something to think about when you're sitting on the throne.
Or not. Hire people from
Developing countries because they need some sort of survival money for their lives and their families and abuse them. Sitting in stinking poop for 2-4 days is beyond disgusting and probably a health issue.
Do they have to truck in clean water?
Flying drones to pick up poop bags? 🤣 Trash chutes of poop? Furnaces on each floor. Bacteria that eats poop? What do they do to solve this issue besides rebuild the entire structure?
Never thought I would clicking on a video about 🚽 and 💩 but here I am..
To save you 7 mins…. It’s trucked out of town. Jeez, a VERY repetitive video.
The bits that don’t repeatedly talk poop are actually v interesting.
In short.. good content v poorly scripted.
It has zero sewer system. This is a fact.
I live in a remote Canadian community and see water and sewer trucks all the time. While it's unusual in a city, it's quite common some places and this video acted like it's not a common job.
Really.. which community do you live in?
@@sunflowersvine8785 that's a little too personal, but it's northern Manitoba.
@@questioner1596 I meant the region, not actual town.. but thanks :)
EWW SIR DISGUSTING 🤢 I WILL NEVER GO TO DUBAI 🤢🤢THIS WHY IM SO LUCKY LIVE IN SUPER INDIA THE CLEANEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD 🇮🇳🤗 , WE NEVER SCAM! WE GIVE RESPECT TO ALL WOMEN THEY CAN WALK SAFELY ALONE AT NIGHT AND WE HAVE CLEAN FOOD AND TOILET EVERYWHERE 🇮🇳🤗🚽, I KNOW MANY POOR PEOPLE JEALOUS WITH SUPER RICH INDIA 🤗🇮🇳🤗🇮🇳🤗🇮🇳🤗🇮🇳🤗🇮🇳🤗🇮🇳🤗🇮🇳
The video also kept mentioning Dubai as a country when it's only a city in the UAE! Video is full of miss information!
The poop goes to the bottom of instagram 2
On Facebook the was a video of what Dubai is planning to build soon. I giant ring supported by four pillars the height of a skyscraper. This ring will surround the Burj Khalifa at it's middle height. Some people commented saying that Dubai keeps wasting money building useless architecture while some people in the nation lack basic needs.😂 I didn't say so. It's the comments I read.
the location might not have sewage cleaning facilities like other cities. but that doesnt mean it is lesser effective. every country has a unique way of operating.
HAHAHA, yeah, I will remember that when I visit "high" tech nations without plumbing ala the Romans had 2000 years ago.
