CHAPTER 1-

INDUSTRY PROFILE

DUBAI CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY



Dubai has emerged as a global city and a business hub. Although Dubai's economy was

built on the oil industry, currently the emirate's model of business, similar to that of

Western countries, drives its economy, with the effect that its main revenues are now

from tourism, real estate, and financial services. Dubai has recently attracted world

attention through many innovative large construction projects and sports events. This

increased attention has highlighted labour rights and human rights issues concerning its

largely South Asian workforce. Dubai's property market experienced a major

deterioration in 2008 and 2009 as a result of the worldwide economic downturn

following the financial crisis of 2007–2010.

Tourism is an important part of the Dubai government's strategy to maintain the flow of

foreign cash into the emirate. Dubai's lure for tourists is based mainly on shopping, but

also on its possession of other ancient and modern attractions. As of 2007, Dubai was

the 8th most visited city of the world. Dubai is expected to accommodate over 15

million tourists by 2015. Dubai is the most populous emirate of the seven emirates of

United Arab Emirates. It is distinct from other members of the UAE in that a large part

of the emirate's revenues are from tourism.

Dubai has been called the "shopping capital of the Middle East". Dubai alone has more

than 70 shopping malls, including the world's 7th largest shopping mall, Dubai Mall.

The city draws large numbers of shopping tourists from countries within the region and

from as far as Eastern Europe, Africa and the Indian Subcontinent. While boutiques,

some electronics shops, department stores and supermarkets operate on a fixed-price

basis, most other outlets consider friendly negotiation a way of life.

Dubai is also known for its souk districts located on either side of the creek.

Traditionally, dhows from the Far East, China, Sri Lanka, and India would discharge

their cargo and the goods would be bargained over in the souks adjacent to the docks.

Many boutiques and jewellery stores are also found in the city. Dubai is known as "the

City of Gold" and Gold Souk in Deira houses nearly 250 gold retail shops. Dubai Duty



Free at the Dubai International Airport offers merchandise catering to the multinational

passengers using the airport.

Dubai has a rich collection of buildings and structures of various architectural styles.

Many modern interpretations of Islamic architecture can be found here, due to a boom

in construction and architectural innovation in the Arab World in general, and in Dubai

in particular, supported not only by top Arab or international architectural and

engineering design firms design firms such as Al Hashemi and Aedas, but also by top

firms of New York and Chicago. As a result of this boom, modern Islamic – and world

– architecture has literally been taken to new levels in skyscraper building design and

technology. Dubai now boasts more completed or topped-out skyscrapers higher than

2/3 km, 1/3 km, or 1/4 km than any other city.

A $3.89 billion, Dubai Metro project is currently operational although partly under-

construction. The Red Line is operational and runs through the heart of the city. The

Metro system was partially opened on September 2009 and will be fully operational by

2011. UK-based international service company Serco Group is responsible for operating

the metro. Dubai Metro is also the world's second cheapest metro transportation system

after Tehran Metro in Iran. The metro comprises the Green Line from Al Rashidiya to

the main city center and the Red Line from the airport to Jebel Ali. A Blue and a Purple

Line have also been planned. The Dubai Metro (Green and Blue Lines) will have 70 km

(43.5 mi) of track and 43 stations, 37 above ground and ten underground. The Dubai

Metro is the first urban train network in the Arabian Peninsula.

The Palm Jumeirah Monorail is a monorail line on the Palm Jumeirah. The monorail

connects the Palm Jumeirah to the mainland, with a planned further extension to the

Red Line of the Dubai Metro. The line opened on 30 April 2009. Two trams systems are

expected to be built in Dubai by 2011. The first is the Downtown Burj Khalifa Tram

System and the second is the Al Sufouh Tram. The Downtown Burj Khalifa Tram

System is a 4.6 km (2.86 mi) tram service that is planned to service the area around the

Burj Khalifa, and the second tram will run 14.5 km (9 mi) along Al Sufouh Road from

Dubai Marina to the Burj Al Arab and the Mall of the Emirates.



Dubai has announced it will complete a link of the UAE high speed rail system which

will eventually hook up with the whole GCC and then possibly Europe. The High Speed

Rail will serve passengers and cargo.

Construction Industry in Dubai, U.A.E

Construction industry in Dubai is the lifeblood of this state. Dubai cannot survive

without construction industry. Dubai is the place, which has the largest number of

construction projects in the world. Here is a review of major construction companies in

Dubai.

In the past decade the construction industry in Dubai has grown at an explosive rate.

Many new structures have been build including tourist attractions, hotels, shopping

malls, commercial business space, residential areas, and the world‘s tallest building.

Dubai has been focusing on aspects other than oil for its GDP and the construction

industry now accounts for 22.6% of its GDP.

Some major construction projects in Dubai:

The Palm Islands: Palm Jumeirah, the Palm Jebel Ali and the Palm Deira. Three

artificial palm tree shaped islands made of sand dredged from the Persian Gulf that are

the largest manmade islands. The first two are already under construction and all three

are expected to be finished in 10-15 years.

Madinat Al Arab – (Dubai Waterfront) A manmade island, still under construction, in

the shape of a crescent moon around the Palm Jebel Ali, that will like the palm islands

feature many hotels, residential areas, and recreation areas. In 2005, the first 33 million

square feet of the district sold out for $3.5 Billion, mostly bought by American

investors.

Hydropolis - A ten star hotel that will be underwater. It was originally scheduled to be

finished by 2006 but has been pushed back to 2009. Its features will be those of any

high class resort plus the bonus of being underwater. The price of the hotel will come in

at around $500,000,000.



Burj Khalifa: A culmination point was reached in 2010 with the completion of the Burj

Khalifa (Khalifa Tower), now by far the world's tallest building at 828 m (2,716 feet).

The Burj Khalifa's design is derived from the patterning systems embodied in Islamic

architecture, with the triple-lobed footprint of the building based on an abstracted

version of the desert flower hymenocallis which is native to the Dubai region. The

completion of the Khalifa Tower, following the construction boom that began in the

1980s, accelerated in the 1990s, and took on a rapid pace of construction unparalled in

modern human history during the decade of the 2000s, leaving Dubai with the world's

tallest skyline as of January 4, 2010.

Construction Speed

The speed of construction in Dubai is very rapid compared to western countries. The

labor available is cheap because most of the laborers are from Asia and will accept

lower wages. Therefore the building companies can hire more laborers to do the work

faster to begin having occupants in the new facilities.

Major problems that arise for construction companies in Dubai, like many other

companies around the world, are delays. These are especially bad when there is a large

workforce at hand that can run out of things to build or have downtime. The

construction companies lose money when dates are extended and migrants who are

expecting to have a place to call home have to be displaced for the time of the delay.

Delays are never good for any construction job and are especially bad for Dubai

because it causes rental prices to go up. This potentially causes investors to turn away

and can possibly ruin Dubai‘s reputation and further repel international investors.

Surveying Engineering:

This industry comprises establishments primarily engaged in performing surveying and

mapping services of the surface of the earth, including the sea floor. These services may

include surveying and mapping of areas above or below the surface of the earth, such as

the creation of view easements or segregating rights in parcels of land by creating

underground utility easements. Surveying is one of the oldest activities of the civil



engineer, and remains a primary component of civil engineering. It is also one field that

continues to undergo phenomenal changes due to technological developments in digital

imaging and satellite positioning. These modern surveying tools are not only

revolutionizing regular surveying engineering tasks but are also impacting a myriad of

applications in a variety of fields where near-real-time positioning is of great value.

Surveying and engineering are closely related professional activities. The area of

surveying and mapping is in many countries a discipline by itself, and taken in total, it

is almost as broad in scope as civil engineering. In the U.S., surveying engineering has

been historically allied to civil engineering. Engineering surveying is defined as those

activities involved in the planning and execution of surveys for the location, design,

construction, operation, and maintenance of civil and other engineered projects.

Such activities include the preparation of survey and related mapping specifications;

execution of photogrammetric and field surveys for the collection of required data,

including topographic and hydrographic data; calculation, reduction, and plotting of

survey data for use in engineering design; design and provision of horizontal and

vertical control survey networks; provision of line and grade and other layout work for

construction and mining activities; execution and certification of quality control

measurements during construction; monitoring of ground and structural stability,

including alignment observations, settlement levels, and related reports and

certifications; measurement of material and other quantities for inventory, economic

assessment, and cost accounting purposes; execution of as-built surveys and preparation

of related maps and plans and profiles upon completion of construction; and analysis of

errors and tolerances associated with the measurement, field layout, and mapping or

other plots of survey measurements required in support of engineering projects.

Engineering surveying may be regarded as a specialty within the broader professional

practice of engineering and, with the exception of boundary, right-of-way, or other

cadastral surveying, includes all surveying and mapping activities required to support

the sound conception, planning, design, construction, maintenance, and operation of



engineered projects. Engineering surveying does not include surveys for the re

tracement of existing land ownership boundaries or the creation of new boundaries.

Modern surveying engineering encompasses several specialty areas, each of which

requires substantial knowledge and training in order to attain proper expertise. The most

primary area perhaps is plane surveying because it is so widely applied in engineering

and surveying practice. In plane surveying, we consider the fundamentals of measuring

distance, angle, direction, and elevation. These measured quantities are then used to

determine position, slope, area, and volume — the basic parameters of civil engineering

design and construction. Plane surveying is applied in civil engineering projects of

limited aerial extent, where the effects of the earth‘s curvature are negligible relative to

the positional accuracy required for the project.

Geodesy, or higher surveying, is an extensive discipline dealing with mathematical and

physical aspects of modeling the size and shape of the earth, and its gravity field. Since

the launch of earth-orbiting satellites, geodesy has become a truly three-dimensional

science. Terrestrial and space geodetic measurement techniques, and particularly the

relatively new technique of satellite surveying using the Global Positioning System

(GPS), are applied in geodetic surveying. GPS surveying has not only revolutionized

the art of navigation but has also brought about an efficient positioning technique for a

variety of users, prominent among them the engineering community. GPS has had a

profound impact on the fundamental problems of determining relative and absolute

positions on the earth, including improvements in speed, timeliness, and accuracy. It is

safe to say that any geometry-based data collection scheme profits to some degree from

the full constellation of 24 GPS satellites. In addition to the obvious applications in

geodesy, surveying, and photogrammetry, the use of GPS is applied in civil engineering

areas such as transportation (truck and emergency vehicle monitoring, intelligent

vehicle and highway systems, etc.) and structures (monitoring of deformation of

structures such as water dams). Even in other areas such as forestry and agriculture

(crop yield management) GPS provides the geometric backbone of modern (geographic)

information systems.



Photogrammetry and remote sensing encompass all activities involved in deriving

qualitative and quantitative information about objects and environments from their

images. Such imagery may be acquired at close range, from aircraft, or from satellites.

In addition to large-, medium-, and small-scale mapping, many other applications such

as resource management and environmental assessment and monitoring rely on

imageries of various types. Close-range applications include such tasks as accident

reconstruction, mapping of complex piping systems, and shape determination for

parabolic antennas.

Large-scale mapping (including the capture of data on infrastructure) remains the

primary civil engineering application of photogrammetry. Recent evolution toward

working with digital imagery has brought about the increasing acceptance of the digital

orthophoto to augment or supplant the planimetric map. Digital image processing tools

offer the probability of great increases in mapping productivity through automation. For

small- and medium-scale mapping, the increasing availability of satellite image data

offers an alternative to chemical photography. Commercially available satellite data

with spatial resolutions of 0.6 to 3 meters, proposed for the near future, would have a

profound impact on all mapping activities within civil engineering. Inclusion of GPS in

photogrammetric and remote sensing acquisition platforms will lead to substantial

improvements in accuracy, timeliness, and economy.

For centuries, maps have provided layered information in graphical form and have been

used as legal documents and as tools to support decision making for applications such

as urban planning. Recently, geographic information systems (GIS) have broadened the

role played by all types of maps to encompass a total system of hardware, software, and

procedures designed to capture, manage, manipulate, and produce information in a

spatial context. GIS applications are broad indeed; they include land record

management, base mapping, infrastructure maintenance, facilities management, and

many others.



A driving force behind the move toward integrating mapping and other spatially

oriented data has been the various utility industries and municipalities who need to plan

and manage their infrastructure facilities and property assets. This automated

mapping/facilities management, or AM/FM, concept is being used successfully today

by many cities, counties, and utility industries, which may have embarked on the

transition as much as 15 years ago. Successful practitioners of GIS can satisfy the needs

of a broad spectrum of users with a single system, minimizing the duplication of

resources required to support historically independent user groups.

All other components of surveying engineering contribute to the construction of a GIS.

The range of survey methods, from classical to modern geodesic and space-based

technologies, provides the required reference framework. Digital mapping provides an

efficient technology to populate the GIS with spatial information. Remote sensing

techniques applied to the earth and their environments provide the various thematic

layers of information.

geologists, and managers to access and process information more effectively. Their

successful history of project experience and extensive resources demonstrate their

capacity and commitment to provide data solutions for a diversity of challenges.

The construction industry around the world has taken a devastating blow over the last

year due to downed economies and declining numbers of new homebuyers. In the

United States alone, over 2 million construction workers lost their jobs, and the majority

of them still have not found work. While things may look grim for the construction

industry worldwide, Dubai may be a safe haven for those in the field.

For those not tied to their location and that are willing to consider relocation, Dubai is

has a tremendous amount of opportunity for skilled tradesmen and site management

personnel. According to a report released on July 21, 2010, the job outlook for the

construction industry is more than favorable. As it stands today, 90% of the workforce

in Dubai is expatriates, and of those 45% are employed in the construction sector.

The Dubai Chamber of Commerce and Industry (DCC) expect the construction sector to

boom next year. A large number of infrastructure and construction projects have already

been awarded this year, with twice as many to be awarded by the end of 2010. It is

estimated that over $714.8 billion worth of projects are at the design phase right now.

The majority of the new opportunities will be in infrastructure, versus previously when

real estate was the driving force in the construction market. This causes a tremendous

amount of need for skilled and unskilled labor to man these projects.

Survey Methodology

a. GPS Survey

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite-based positioning system made up

of a network of 24 satellites placed into orbit by the U.S. Department of Defense. GPS

satellites circle the earth twice a day in a very precise orbit and transmit signal

information to earth. GPS receivers take this information and use triangulation to

calculate the exact position of them. GPS receiver compares the time a signal was

transmitted by a satellite with the time it was received. The time difference tells the

GPS receiver how far away the satellite is. With the distance measurements from a few

more satellites, the receiver can determine its position with centimeter accuracy.

b. Total station survey

A total station is an optical instrument used in modern surveying. It is a combination of

an electronic theodolite (transit), an electronic distance meter (EDM) and software

running on an external computer known as data collector. A total station allows the

surveyor to store all information he needs to establish a setting out and can store all

information recorded from site as existing features, original ground levels, road edges,

etc.

Also the remote measurements are facilitated by the total station where a direct access

is not available. For example the height of street light poles, ground clearance of

overhead power lines, etc.

c. Theodolite survey

A theodolite is an instrument for measuring both horizontal and vertical angles, as used

in triangulation networks. It is the old, mechanical / manual version of total station.
