Infrastructure 09 Aug 2023
With the US Presidential Election now less than two weeks away, we're taking a closer look at the next president's new home one of our planet’s most iconic buildings. Over the centuries this seemingly simple neoclassical house has, threat-by-threat, quietly become one of the most subtly fortified sites in the world.
There’s everything from snipers and missiles to nuclear-proof bunkers, layer upon layer of fencing, and secret underground tunnels to protect the administration and First Family. Settle in and prepare to be fully briefed on the extreme security of The White House.
Four sites across the 25-kilometre new Thames Tideway Tunnel network have been switched on, enabling the system to start protecting the river from sewage pollution.
Designed by Zaha Hadid Architects for JMJ Group Holding, The Grove will offer 293 apartments with views of Qetaifan Bay and the Lusail skyline.
The project will expand the sidewalks by 46 percent, shorten crosswalks for safety, cut traffic lanes from five to three, and add new planting.
