A construction company recently brought to light a proposal to built the world tallest skyscraper within the interval of just three months.
Sky City in Changsha, south-east China, will be a 220-storey structure standing at an incredible 2,749ft (838m).They are to employ 3000 workers for the job
This
astonishing pace, which will see five storeys go up a day, is down to the
revolutionary method of prefabricated building where blocks are built off site
and slotted together to save time.
The
half-mile high superstructure will be 32ft taller than the Burj Khalifa in
Dubai - the current tallest building - and is expected to cost almost half as
much.
It will have more than 5,000 residential properties, inclusive is 17,400 residents as well as a hotel for 1,000, a hospital, five schools and office space with overall capacity standing at 31,000.
Sky City is expected to cost around £400 million, significantly less than the £940 million Burj Khalifa which took more than five-years to build.
Once the company(Broad) get approval from Chinese government,the building is meant to commence towards the end of December and be completed by april 2013.
