GMA Garnet™ and The World’s Tallest Building
How the sister company’s waterjet-cuttinggarnet helped build the Burj Khalifa
Apr 2018- The Burj Khalifa in Dubai towers over the world with its impressive 162-storey structure. Inspired by a regional desert flower, the Hymenocallis, the building’s architecture features a triple-lobed design, where the three sections of the tower are arranged around a central buttressed core. For this architectural feat, structural steel facades and frames were produced via waterjet cutting with GMA ClassicCut™ garnet — the world’s most popular waterjet-cutting garnet that delivers the optimum balance between speed and cutting-edge precision.
