At 321m high with its central atrium, The Burj Al Arab is one of the world's tallest and most luxurious hotels. It is sometimes described as "the world's only seven-Star hotel".
With it's helipad on the 28th floor and a restaurant seemingly suspended in mid air, this hotel has become an internationally recognised landmark and icon on the Dubai skyline.
The building stands on an artificial island 280 m out from Jumeirah beach, and is connected to the mainland by a private curving bridge. The shape of the structure is designed to mimic the sail of a ship.
Shortly after Tenos was launched in 1997 we were appointed to develop the fire safety strategy for the building and see the project through construction to completion. Before the building was occupied Tenos was appointed to advise on the fire safety management procedures for both the Burj and the adjacent Jumeirah Beach hotel.
