Saudi Arabia’s Jeddah Tower is being built to become the world’s first 1-kilometer-tall skyscraper. In this video, we break down 12 unbelievable facts about Jeddah Tower construction, from its massive foundation and wind-resistant design to concrete pumping, high-speed elevators, and its planned observation deck. How do you build a structure more than 1,000 meters into the sky? Jeddah Tower is pushing skyscraper engineering into territory no building has reached before. From the tower’s five-meter-thick concrete raft and deep foundation piles to its unique three-pronged design, every part has been engineered around the extreme challenges of building at this scale. We’ll look at the tower’s construction history, its return after years of stalled work, the engineering behind its concrete structure, the challenge of pumping concrete hundreds of meters upward, and the enormous workforce helping bring the project to life. You’ll also see how Jeddah Tower is designed to handle powerful winds, how its elevators are expected to move people through a vertical kilometer, and what could become the world’s highest observation deck.
