Emaar Properties has applied for extra reinforcement to floor slabs, yet they deny that the slabs are defective. They have decided to increase the stiffness of the slabs to reinforce the long-term performance of the tower. Rumours were spreading that the floor slabs are under-engineered and have developed small cracks.

Burj Dubai is not only behind schedule, but might face a rescale back to the original 705 m height. This is due to time difficulties and the failed water leak tests of Schmidlin claddings. 7days: "Late last year 7DAYS saw a confidential document relating to the project in which Emaar recognised that they would have to scale back their ambitious 808-metre target height for the tower to just over 700 metres. The reasons for this downward reversion came from a combination of time constraints and the aforementioned construction difficulties."
