Emaar builds oasis at foot of Burj Dubai

Gardens at the foot of the Burj Dubai will be irrigated using recovered condensate.

An innovative irrigation system will keep the 11-hectare ‘oasis’ at the foot of the Burj Dubai, the world’s tallest building, green and lush.

The landscaped area, to be known as The Park, is irrigated using a condensate collection system, which redeploys water from the tower’s cooling equipment. It is expected that the system will recover 15 million gallons of water a year, enough to fill 20 Olympic-sized swimming pools.

Mohamed Alabbar, Chairman, Emaar Properties, said: “The design of The Park is also inspired by the core design concepts of Burj Dubai, based on the symmetries of the desert flower, Hymenocalis, and regional motifs. The Park creates a soothing oasis of green, and is a logical extension to the Emaar Boulevard.”

The Burj Dubai is set to be inaugurated on January 4, next year and will use the condensate for its six water features, planted walkways and assorted gardens.
