Im an architect and to blame architects for this sewage nightmare near the end of the video is quite insane and shows how little the narrator knows of the building process. Its the local government’s fault for not having adequate infrastructure. No rational architect nor plumbing engineer will turn down a huge landmark building just cause the client and government refuse to provide proper waste infrastructure. Will you blame the car designer or dealership for failing and crumbling roads? Or the lonely electrician for city wide power outages? Or your doctor for people’s overall unhealthy life choices? The answer to all these is… no.

The architects knew this in advance. Let me ask you, as an architect if someone told you to build a sky scraper but there would be no sewer system would you do it? I guess you can get anyone to do anything for enough money.

London already has a comprehensive sewer system, but London's new 'super sewer' - officially called The Thames Tideway Tunnel is due for completion in 2025 and will augment the current system. This 25 km long super sewer consists of tunnels with an internal diameter of 7.2 metres (24 feet) and runs deep under the River Thames. This project will cost a total of £4.9bn to complete when the £1.1bn spent for preparatory works is included. That's the civilised, sane way to develop a city and ready it for the future, rather relying on septic tanks.

Where we constantly have almost none of our high-rise buildings operate as they should and all buyers/tenants complain about poor quality (and even mould in Landmark Pinnacle) and where a simple cooling system never works?

I should be shocked, this should come as an absolute surprise that one of the most modern building in the world relies on trucks to carry off its sewage, but it does not. It does not for many reasons, not the least of which is I have noticed a trend in new building projects, especially in gentrification and municipal funded projects I call Disneytfication. The go up quickly, they seem wholesome, safe, clean, modern, and free from all manner of ills, but it's all a facade. Plastic and paper mache, party tricks and barbie dolls, and lurking right under the bright, shiny exterior are is all sorts of gimmicks and tricks all held together with duct tape and string.

06:33 That image of the trucks show more than 13 cubic meter of storage. 1 cubic meter of pure water is 1 ton and a quick google seems to indicate that wastewater weight 70% of pure water. Therefor 13 cubic meter sewage would be 9,1 ton kg. Each truck is probably around 20 cubic meter.... Meaning a truck can take up to ca 11 ton. Seems to be more than one truck in that image to me... Is ALL sewage trucked out of the city? LoL

[@dv5625]

Burj khalifa is designed for 35000 occupancy , it has 900 residential flats assuming average of 4 residents per flat , they will use 500 litres of water per day for drinking pooping bathing washing etc. That's 1800 tons per day from the residents alone. I still haven't added the 2-3 kg poop/urine they do per day which will take the figure to roughly 9 tons more. So dear you need roughly 140 truckload to be moved out of the city and this for residents alone. Commercial offices , hotels , restaurants will add roughly 200 truckloads more. And one important detail you missed, sewage water is heavier than pure water. Your calculations are wrong ,13 cubic meter sewage should weight 14-15 tons and not 9 tons.

I went to Dubai and in the hotel there was definitely a plumbing problem. We had to change rooms. The hotel was really nice, but I could tell there was some sewage problems. How are they going to build such a thing and don’t have it connected to a waste water treatment facility?

[@davidhunt1350]

Even though they didn't connect up the waste water sewerage plumbing first, I believe that even though they didn't connect the sewerage up the usual way first, I am thinking it is still be possible to run a new system "from the septic waste plant facility that would be only for this building alone, And they could build it underground running the most direct way, straight to this sky scrapper, the Burj Khalifa? even though things are usually done the other way around, I believe that if they wanted in the future I believe it could still happen, I mean if they haven't had any problems with the trucks transporting the waste, then I believe that while this method seems to be working fine now that they could still change over in the future to the other method, I believe that it would not be that much of an issue, if they built it from the waste facility to the building, obviously there would need to be one day within 24 hrs, for the change over process to occur, but that would be possible I would think.even if part of the Burj Khalifas sewerage system was changed over part by part over a few weeks, on the grand scale of things I wouldn't think that it was impossible at all, they could do that I believe, it seems like a big issue but if you are talking about big construction contracts for the future over the years ahead things could still logistically work out.

Sooner or later they will need to fix this problem. I think each year the fix will only cost millions and millions more. If only there were some other option available.

Actually, at one truck of LOADS a day. It's like one truck a day commuting cost. Even if they bought 2 or 3 or 4 trucks just to have an overage capability, with one truck commuting back and forth daily. The daily cost is most likely less then the interest on the millions of dollars in loan payments that would have been spent on such a long pipeline of a waste system. Shockingly it may actually be a better more cost effective way of doing things. NO SHIT... The other question is. Because they are having so many buildings doing this from all around the city. Is it still cumulatively cost effective considering the combined costs of all buildings, compared to the costs of building an entire sewer system? It actually might be. HOW CRAZY. At first I thought the trucking idea was crazy. Just because it isn't how America or most other countries do things. But when you realize how small Dubai is. Then use those numbers for your comparison. Each building may have had to be charged way more year over year to just be added to the sewer system and cause that system the huge cost of being in larged. If in the future these costs change. Or if something else happens. They can always hook all the building together to the system then. And who knows that huge building could be blown down because of unpaid electic bills or electrical shorts and bad wiring connections within the foundation way before it becoming cheaper to hook to the city sewer system. I'm not wishing anything bad against them. But these are all possible scenarios as time goes by. After all, the building relies on very expensive rentals and costs. In a city that needs tourists to support itself. And people, thinking, and trends change over time. And why does anyone even now desire to be in Dubai? What's really there?

When it comes to infrastructure, here in Chicago and likely most other key areas of the US, we carefully and cautiously construct with everything in mind and everyone involved who need to be.

Though there wasn't more technical breakup of the downward journey of sewage and sullage at top speed due to gravity, couldn't the Plumbing and Sanitary engineers have installed some hardware within the pipes to slow down the descent? - much like the suppressor that is screwed onto the handgun/rifle barrel to reduce the gunshot decibel levels? Or even intermediate service floors (every 5, 10 storeys) which, in addition to having water tanks and secondary MEPs system holds, could have a septic tank, which then connects to the next lower septic tank. Also, after the STPs successfully treat the sewage, the leftover sludge can be used for composting, manure, maybe generate a new topsoil in the otherwise arid desert lands...
