You show an article at 3:20 that says 35,000 people will produce 15 tonnes of sewage per day. 15 tonnes is 30 thousand pounds. That means each person produces less than a pound of waste per day. .85 lbs to be exact. Or 385 grams. I maybe wrong but I would have estimated that number as being a bit higher.

They couldn’t find a sewage system able to take the momentum of a turd flushed on the 163 floor of the Burj Khalifa. As it neared light speed when it touched base on the first curve at ground level, it just carried straight on down and damaged the foundations.

Why doesn't Dubai build a giant biogas plant? With all that sheet, they can power up a large portion of their cities! Also the spent fuel makes good fertilizer
Why waste money on Biogas plants when it’s not a tourist attraction? Dubai doesn’t concern itself with common sense city planning. Case in point, Bhuj Khalifa, palm islands, world islands, making glass buildings when it’s 50C in the summer.
The entire charade Dubai does in regards to its infrastructure reminds me of this quote about Chernobyl: "Really, this whole thing (the clean up) would be an engineering wonder and a source of national pride...if it wasn't being used to alleviate an engineering disaster and national embarrassment."
Rich people usually eat less unless they are in wwe. Brain works good when the body is slim. If we got fat, then blood go less to brain, also brain get more work to manage the body. So smart people are usually slim.
rich people eat more veggies, whole grain and protein. Not a lot of filler like bread, pasta and rice that poor people eat which makes them eat and poop more.
My experience of Saudi and UAE is pretty much of the finale of 2001 A Space Odyssey where Dave finds himself in a palatial room but when he takes a book from the bookshelf and tries to open it, he can't. He discovers that his hosts, although they tried to copy surroundings that he would be familiar with, do not understand the underlying complexity of human existence. So is it with Dubai. Build a city in the desert but not understand that it is the whole package that makes a great city. It has to include adequate sewers and an adequate sewage treatment plant. That is why you have a functioning Government and not a Monarchy running the show. By the way, their problems don't end with the sewer installation. Al Aweer STP has some major issues and they haven't even started addressing those.
@A Fels As much as I agree with you that democratic systems can fail, they are much less dependent on a principal with good intentions. So, in my opinion they are the more stable systems. In regard of the austrian watercolour painter: he didn't change a monarchy into a republic, that was done after the first World War when the allies forced Wilhelm II into exile. He capitalized on several factors: poverty of the masses, lust for revenge, militarism.. to get enough voters. But I think G Slim got the picture of Dubai right: A Face with much makeup and a dirty underbelly.

@@tomlxyz They get most of their money through oil. It's government run and basically just prints money. Also, there are alternatives to the income tax, the 16th Amendment allowing the US government to have an income tax wasn't even passed until 1913, with methods from Modern Monetary Theory to just not spending much money to Nationalized businesses.
@@Minecraftian2345432 funding the government and public infrastructure through oil is essentially just giving universal hand outs and it creates an unsustainable economy that's unable to be self reliant
@@Minecraftian2345432 You can go back to tax levels before 1900 but then you're gonna have the living standards of that time. All of the comforts of today rest on the fundament of what the government finances through taxes. Heavy tax cuts require heavy cuts on these. And privatization doesn't change anything, it still would need to be paid, although given that the government is much bigger than any company it can operate those things much more efficiently on scale than a company, which if it was that big would be a monopoly which in contrast to the government the public would have no say in in how it operates
@@tomlxyz The standard of living has increased due to the steady march of technology and industry. The cost of formerly luxury goods such as computers, microwaves, fridges, televisions, and the like have fallen as technology has advanced. Also, while in practice governments that rely on oil revenue often use that money to fund handouts to the populace to garner votes, which goes especially poorly when heavily leveraged by promising a future dollar amount of oil to a bank for a loan today fails spectacularly when the price of oil falls such as with Venezuela, Saudi Arabia is an absolute monarchy and as such has no need to pander to voters as there are no voters. However, the reliance on only oil is unstable which is why the Saudi's have been trying to diversify their economy with tourism and the like. As for the government being able to run industry more efficiently due to economies of scale, that's a mixed bag. They can exploit economies of scales, however without any incentive to improve or reduce costs bureaucratic costs soar and either quality of service and/or cost is generally ignored. Elon Musk reduced the cost of spaceflight ten fold in but a few years while NASA kept to the old ways for decades. The DMV and the TSA are widely reviled but as they are monopolies everyone must use them. Utilites are granted government enforced monopolies, and I'm sure you know how people feel about companies like Comcast. While economies of scale can reduce price, like with Rockefeller's Standard Oil, they also generally result in bigger issues, e.g. Standard Oil, especially when government enforced. They only tend to remain good for the consumer while someone who cares about doing good and philanthropy above profits or popularity remains in control which is not a stable system.
So, to save some money, they didn’t cut back on gold finishes and other luxury matters or anything like that, they just decided that everyone in the world’s tallest building should do the equivalent of pooping in a glorified bucket. Pardon the pun but that is a really crappy idea and whomever suggested it needs a boot put up their sewage outflow
It's shortsighted, and it may have been cheaper in the short term, but now they are reclaiming that water for payback. Imagine the time and money that can be saved doing things right the first time.
So, they are building a new high tech sewage system with six years of build and disruption that they expect to be sustainable for only 25 years after completion?
Assuming they actually finish it on time and don't need another bail out after covid-19 halted everything. This is what happens when you don't build the country from the ground up and go straight to skyskrapers.
The video meant the sewer system will have excess capacity to accommodate Dubai's growth and expansion for the next 25 years, without requiring more sewer system investment/construction. Not that it will only last 25 years.
@@AaronCMounts Still 25 years of anticipated capacity is not a long time. They really should've built it to handle Dubai's growth for the next 30-40 years.

@A Fels The fact Dubai has built such an amazing city without the need for city planners and bureaucracy tells me everything I need to know. When government gets in the way with all its regulations nothing gets done. Dubai is a great city and the UAE one of the better countries in the Middle East. It is a great place.
@You can't handle the truth What? You can say a lot about New York and California, but they don't keep literal slaves to build their cities. And "lefty utopia" is the exact opposite of what you're describing.
I was a poop road trucker. It would be very interesting from an technical standpoint. Finding the septic tanks, the characters, gold I agree. And everyone loves you when the septic truck shows up! You are tasked with finding unmarked places you'd never get to see as a regular person, like locked gates revealing hidden and secret compunds, steep mountain backwoods, riverside industrial parks, civic arenas. Facinating education.
@@samoptimus4228 I personally haven't no. But there's multiple similiar systems like that around the world. If you do research, you would know. But clearly you don't like facts
I knew a guy who did 'pipe cam' checks in their sewers. He said the pipes were rubber lined and unbelievably not gross - which is not what I expected. They flew him over from Australia regularly and he was extremely wealthy from it.
This is what happens when a maximum of wealth is spent with a minimum of education. 35 k people is the equivalent of a small city. Transporting the amount of raw sewage water of 35k people by truck is much more expensive then a wwtp. You can only justify it with a short term emergency. By the way: hauling the water away by truck causes also higher costs for infrastructure. Not for the sewer system but for roads and their maintenance. Gulf arabs are not known for any engineering tradition, but they should have been able to hire some experts.
I just began to see your videos pop up in my recommendations. I wished I would have ran across your channel much sooner. You seem like a very promising youtuber. Keep up the great work!

So the building is 1.5 billion dollars, but the sewage system upgrade is 8 billion dollars. Seeing that they now have the budget to do an upgrade that costs 5 times the original project, It was probably the right decision to build the building first
There was ongoing renovation to the 125th floor for additions to the skydeck when I visited. Granted maybe you were there more recently but I saw zero structurally cosmetic issues in 2015. I'm sure upkeeping every little bit though, yeah something's going to go missing here and there though haha.
No it’s not lol. It is however, sinking. Emaar has gone to great lengths to cover up all the sinking structures in the business bay/downtown area. I’ve seen reporters get fired for even asking questions about it.
Well that was interesting. I live in Downtown Dubai (about 5 mins from the Burj Khalifa) and my wife and I swear every evening at one of these lovely trucks that rocks up at the building opposite every night just after we put the baby to bed (I swear it bloody waits for us!) and ask ourselves why the hell it's necessary. What I love is that Dubai continues to build in Downtown despite this problem (and absolutely no shortage of housing in the city) and the fact that we're still four years away from a solution (assuming this video's numbers are still correct). Well done everyone.
For those of you who haven't been to a barren desert, sewage is never a priority. You just need basic digging skills, and preferably a smooth stone to clean up after yourself.
%5 sales tax , %15 tourist tax , %5 municipality tax, alcohol and pork are taxed over %50, cigarettes and soft drinks are also excessively taxed.... if you think there is no tax Dubai , youre joking.

This has nothing to do with rich people per say. It has to do with arrogant dictators that are too busy expanding their slave labor program to get a proper sewage system.
@@abhinavav7770 he means that if it were not for the invention of cars and oil-consuming vehicles, oil wouldn't be as valuable as today, making the Arabian countries less rich or maybe dirt poor.
A little information for the people who don't live in Dubai, the trucks stopped a long time ago because Dubai in the 2000s and starting of 2010s was mostly empty and under construction there were only roads and desert and only now there are so many buildings and they built their plumbing systems
Right, I have yet to see or smell a poop truck in my multiple times visiting Dubai. Haven't spent enough time in the other emirates to compare how they're doing though.
The madness of this situation. In real estate development, a critical early-stage problem to solve is to ensure sewer capacity. Literally, you have to ensure you have the volume and ability to flush toilets. This is basic stuff (Literally, if you can't get pipe capacity you don't build). The fact that Burj ignored this shows that it was pure ego behind the project and nothing more. This project should have never been a thing that was built.
From a distance Dubai is cool and shiny, up close it's all desolate streets unless you go to those specific attractions. There aren't any shops or high streets unless you go to a shopping mall. Eventually people will realise this place is a joke.
As stupid as this is, trucking sewage is genuinely done in some places where it’s not economical to link up sewage systems, and instead septic tanks or storage tanks are used which sometimes need to be emptied. In this case however, this is very inefficient and wasteful and over time the trucking and road maintenance cost will be a lot less costly than a new sewer in the long time.

My experience of Saudi and UAE is pretty much of the finale of 2001 A Space Odyssey where Dave finds himself in a palatial room but when he takes a book from the bookshelf and tries to open it, he can't. He discovers that his hosts, although they tried to copy surroundings that he would be familiar with, do not understand the underlying complexity of human existence. So is it with Dubai. Build a city in the desert but not understand that it is the whole package that makes a great city. It has to include adequate sewers and an adequate sewage treatment plant. That is why you have a functioning Government and not a Monarchy running the show. By the way, their problems don't end with the sewer installation. Al Aweer STP has some major issues and they haven't even started addressing those.
@A Fels The monarchies you list are all constitutional monarchies. You cannot compare those with the system in Dubai.
@A Fels As much as I agree with you that democratic systems can fail, they are much less dependent on a principal with good intentions. So, in my opinion they are the more stable systems. In regard of the austrian watercolour painter: he didn't change a monarchy into a republic, that was done after the first World War when the allies forced Wilhelm II into exile. He capitalized on several factors: poverty of the masses, lust for revenge, militarism.. to get enough voters. But I think G Slim got the picture of Dubai right: A Face with much makeup and a dirty underbelly.
It’s going to be a crap situation when Dubai has a financial crisis if the sewer hasn’t been finished.

I like the idea of low to no taxes, but their plan is literally just: build a bunch of random shit that looks good in instagram photos.
Low to no taxes is simply unsustainable
@@tomlxyz They get most of their money through oil. It's government run and basically just prints money. Also, there are alternatives to the income tax, the 16th Amendment allowing the US government to have an income tax wasn't even passed until 1913, with methods from Modern Monetary Theory to just not spending much money to Nationalized businesses.
@@Minecraftian2345432 funding the government and public infrastructure through oil is essentially just giving universal hand outs and it creates an unsustainable economy that's unable to be self reliant
@@Minecraftian2345432 You can go back to tax levels before 1900 but then you're gonna have the living standards of that time. All of the comforts of today rest on the fundament of what the government finances through taxes. Heavy tax cuts require heavy cuts on these. And privatization doesn't change anything, it still would need to be paid, although given that the government is much bigger than any company it can operate those things much more efficiently on scale than a company, which if it was that big would be a monopoly which in contrast to the government the public would have no say in in how it operates
@@tomlxyz The standard of living has increased due to the steady march of technology and industry. The cost of formerly luxury goods such as computers, microwaves, fridges, televisions, and the like have fallen as technology has advanced. Also, while in practice governments that rely on oil revenue often use that money to fund handouts to the populace to garner votes, which goes especially poorly when heavily leveraged by promising a future dollar amount of oil to a bank for a loan today fails spectacularly when the price of oil falls such as with Venezuela, Saudi Arabia is an absolute monarchy and as such has no need to pander to voters as there are no voters. However, the reliance on only oil is unstable which is why the Saudi's have been trying to diversify their economy with tourism and the like. As for the government being able to run industry more efficiently due to economies of scale, that's a mixed bag. They can exploit economies of scales, however without any incentive to improve or reduce costs bureaucratic costs soar and either quality of service and/or cost is generally ignored. Elon Musk reduced the cost of spaceflight ten fold in but a few years while NASA kept to the old ways for decades. The DMV and the TSA are widely reviled but as they are monopolies everyone must use them. Utilites are granted government enforced monopolies, and I'm sure you know how people feel about companies like Comcast. While economies of scale can reduce price, like with Rockefeller's Standard Oil, they also generally result in bigger issues, e.g. Standard Oil, especially when government enforced. They only tend to remain good for the consumer while someone who cares about doing good and philanthropy above profits or popularity remains in control which is not a stable system.

This is what happens when a maximum of wealth is spent with a minimum of education. 35 k people is the equivalent of a small city. Transporting the amount of raw sewage water of 35k people by truck is much more expensive then a wwtp. You can only justify it with a short term emergency. By the way: hauling the water away by truck causes also higher costs for infrastructure. Not for the sewer system but for roads and their maintenance. Gulf arabs are not known for any engineering tradition, but they should have been able to hire some experts.
If something happened that prevented sewage from being collected from the tower for a few days, I imagine it will be completely abandoned.

The madness of this situation. In real estate development, a critical early-stage problem to solve is to ensure sewer capacity. Literally, you have to ensure you have the volume and ability to flush toilets. This is basic stuff (Literally, if you can't get pipe capacity you don't build). The fact that Burj ignored this shows that it was pure ego behind the project and nothing more. This project should have never been a thing that was built.

Dubai is a poor representation of a large rich city
„The new sewage system will last well past 2050.” So it will last as long as the city still exists before it is swallowed by the sea?
That Dubai city sounds like a nightmare.
From a distance Dubai is cool and shiny, up close it's all desolate streets unless you go to those specific attractions. There aren't any shops or high streets unless you go to a shopping mall. Eventually people will realise this place is a joke.
As stupid as this is, trucking sewage is genuinely done in some places where it’s not economical to link up sewage systems, and instead septic tanks or storage tanks are used which sometimes need to be emptied. In this case however, this is very inefficient and wasteful and over time the trucking and road maintenance cost will be a lot less costly than a new sewer in the long time.
