Glazing completed on Capital Gate
07Jan2010 - Glazing work on the iconic Capital Gate Tower, designed by RMJM and currently under construction next to the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre, is now complete.
More than 12,500 individually shaped glass panels have been installed on Capital Gate's façade in a complex engineering feat which has taken ADNEC and its construction partners ten months to complete. In an intricate operation, each pane of glass had to be a slightly different shape and fitted at a different angle due to the building's unique lean and its curved profile.
The glass panes on Capital Gate make up 700 larger glass "diamonds", and were manufactured in the United States with the steel frames holding the glass precision-cut in Austria before being shipped to the UAE. Once they reached the Capital Gate construction site they were meticulously placed into the correct position by on-site engineers.
