Thanks to our friend Rody for this new update. Here are the news.<br /><br /><a name="more"></a><br />You heard in our <a href="http://houseofflora.blogspot.com/2012/12/kingdom-tower-finally-going-under.html" target="_blank">last update</a> that Bauer Group, German company which is in charge for the foundations started moving construction equipment to the site. Almost everything arrived, their temporary camp with 85 engineers and workers is built. According to Rody, they are still waiting for 8 machines to arrive, which should happen on February 2nd.<br /><br />For those interested, here's the list:<br /><br /><br />- 3 Bauer BG40 Piling machines (with the power of 40nm of torque)<br />- 2 Bauer BG28 Piling machines (with the power of 28nm of torque)<br />- 2 Pumpers<br />- 1 crane<br /><br />All of them will start doing their job till February 9th.<br /><br />In the meantime, preparations on the site were done, footprint of the tower is marked along with more than <a href="http://houseofflora.blogspot.com/2012/07/kingdom-tower-test-pile-blueprints-and.html" target="_blank">600 drilling points for the Kingdom Tower foundation piles</a> which will reach even 100 m in depth below the hot desert sand.<br /><br />Here are the pictures by Rody. Remember them, those are first pictures of real construction of the new tallest building in the world, after Burj Khalifa in Dubai.<br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

Ground preparations are ongoing for months now and we are still waiting for some detailed info and pictures from the site. For now we managed to find those construction pictures of Kingdom Tower pile testing.</span><br /><br /><a name="more"></a><br />All those pictures were taken on January 28th, and at the moment those are the newest pictures online. The photos are showing the implementation of the load test (O-Cell® Test Pile -78.0 m depth) for Kingdom Tower’s foundation. As we heard recently, those test piles failed and they had to redesign some stuff around the tower's base. That's why tower moved on the drawing board again so that can be fixed.<br /><br />Now we are waiting top hear what happened and what is going to happen.<br />Stay tuned!<br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;
