It is
only a few years since the desert plains of the United Arab Emirates began to
sprout not plants, but cities - high-rise structures growing like glass and
concrete trees out of the very sands of these once-barren lands. These are
genuinely history-making projects, some of the most ambitious ever attempted,
and it is fair to say that without CAD services, much of the UAE would simply
not be there.
The
old adage that only a fool builds his house on sand has fallen by the wayside,
as the most sought-after developments on the planet are now found in these
desert cities, along with some of the richest inhabitants. With desirability
off the scale, it is essential that every single room and building should be of
the highest standard, and the intricacy and attention to detail that comes as
standard with CAD services has allowed our offices
in the UAE region to play their part in some truly astounding residential and
commercial developments.
Of course, building in the desert brings its own unique challenges,
some of which have never before been faced in construction of any kind, let
alone on the scale seen in the emirates. In some instances, there are genuinely
no engineers or architects in the world with the precise experience needed to
plan a particular project - which might be higher or heavier than anything that
has ever preceded it. CAD drawings
fill this knowledge gap, allowing the computer model to
show how a completed building will look in the landscape, and to highlight any
possible causes for concern about the forces exerted upon it in an environment
where unusual events like sandstorms are an everyday possibility.
Building the emirates to their present state has already taken
unprecedented engineering knowhow and the development of entirely new techniques;
going ever higher while still creating striking architecture will not be easy,
but we rise to the challenge because of the sense of achievement that comes
with pushing the very limits and boundaries of what might be possible. CAD services help to drive these limits further and further
beyond what human ingenuity alone might be able to achieve - mankind built the
computers, just as we build the real-world structures, but between the two is a
digital world that transcends our own capabilities and becomes something more.
