TDIC launches work on Louvre Abu Dhabi dome
- United Arab Emirates: Wednesday, May 08 - 2013 at 00:53
Tourism Development & Investment Co (TDIC) has said construction work has commenced on the dome of the Louvre Abu Dhabi museum, Khaleej Times has reported. The dome, which has a diameter of 180 metres and is expected to weigh more than 7,000 tonnes, almost the weight of the Eiffel Tower, will be supported by four piers that will be nine metres high at the entrance of the museum and will reach up to 30 metres below. It was designed so the roof primarily acts as a shading canopy to protect the outside plaza and building below from the radiant heat of the sun, providing comfort and reducing building energy consumption. Work on the dome is expected to be complete by the end of 2014.
