petronas

There are already many buildings that segregate elevator systems into multiple stacked towers such as the Petronas Towers in Malaysia [1].

Make the cable short and rigid and you get something inspired by the Petronas towers.

It once held the title for the world's tallent building (ie the Petronas Towers).

When the Petronas Towers were being built the teams were placed in competition, with rewards at stake, to complete their tower first.

Look at the Petronas towers for inspiration as a starting point for inspiration.

If you've seen a Samsung container ship, or a Samsung-built building (Burj Khalifa, Petronas Towers), you'll have gotten a glimpse at their size and scope.

The petronas towers have pylons driven deeper than 100 meters [0].

I worked on a contract for Petronas in Malaysia (Retail Oil Division).

You know Burj Khalifa, Taipei 101, Petronas are all built by Samsung ofcourse Samsung Engineering & Construction.

See Petronas cancelling an LNG project because spending billions on a terminal in a world flooded with low price LNG isn't worthwhile...still somehow a grievance about the federal government.

I am used to seeing 2 inches per year on new construction, but I am amazed the Petronas Towers only have sunk a half inch.

Mercedes Petronas has been destroying everyone.

"The Petronas Towers were the tallest skyscrapers in the world." Only if you count unoccupied, decorative spires.

"If you're building a skyscraper out of reinforced concrete, the only way for it to be stable is to design it in the shape of a pyramid." Except the Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur are standard supertalls built out of reinforced concrete?

I have to admit that's noticeably more than I have in my pocket at the moment, so in a sense it's "a huge budget", but it's only slightly more than the US$5.6 billion spent on the Petronas Towers, which is a single office building in Kuala Lumpur.

From the article too: "-the famed Petronas Twin Towers in Malaysia, for example, sank only a half inch since opening in 1998-" I have worked and lived in SE Asia for 8 years, and I can tell you that there are always problems like this when they fail to go deep enough on the piles.

But in Petronas' case, it can become too complex that even the staff don't always get it right.

Here in Turkmenistan, the major contracted oil/gas companies are Petronas(Malaysia), Petforac(Russia) and Dragon Oil(UAE).

Petronas has a state monopoly on oil and gas extraction.) I agree that it would be better to fund basic research like the LHC from voluntary contributions.
