Quote: B.I.D Quality Award for the Dubai Tower and Turner Construction 19/02/2010Leadership in QualityLeave a comment The President of Turner Construction International, Mr. Ali H. Odeh, received the B.I.D. International Quality Award in Geneva from BID CEO Jose E. Prieto. Turner Construction Company, one of the largest and most important construction management companies in the United States, is in charge of the project management of the impressive Burj Dubai, or Dubai Tower. On January 4, 2010, the world’s highest building was inaugurated. Headquartered in New York, Turner Construction Company has a construction volume of $9.6 billion and is active in 1,600 countries worldwide. It is also the main builder in the U.S. in sectors such as healthcare, education, correctional and commercial office facilities. It was granted the BID Award for Quality in recognition of its achievements and successes worldwide. Founded in 1902 by Henry C. Turner, this large builder is responsible for the construction of Chase Manhattan Bank, the Madison Square Garden, the John Fitzgerald Kennedy Library and the stadium for the University of Pittsburgh, among many others. But the building Turner will be remembered for, without doubt, is the magnificent Burj Dubai, the tallest skyscraper in the world. Using over 45,000 square metres of reinforced concrete, the thousands of workers employed in the construction managed to reach the promised height: an astonishing 818 metres. Inside this immense skyscraper will be 30,000 homes and nine hotels, as well as a mall and 3 hectares of parkland. The government decided to construct the Dubai Tower in order to diversify the economy and boost the service sector, especially tourism. The Burj Dubai, awarded by BID, will also help the city regain its reputation and acquire an international recognition which will lead to an increase in foreign investment.
