Saudi Arabia is constructing a spectacular skyscraper called the #Mukaab.
The impressive build will adopt the form of a tall cube. It will stand tall at a height of 1,312 feet in the capital of Riyadh. It will also be as long and wide as it is tall and could fit around 20 Empire State Buildings inside of it, according to the Saudi Government’s Public Investment Fund.
AtkinsRéalis being involved doesn't surprise me one bit. They're kind of engineering wizards there.

The excavation work for the Mukaab is almost over, and nearly 350 million cubic feet of earth have been removed. This work needed the usage of 250 excavators every day, and around 400 pieces of equipment to handle all the soil. The construction workers devoted nearly 3 million hours of labor.
The Mukaab will complete construction in 2030.
