I-Giant, ekwaziwa ngokuba yi-Emerging Man, sisithixo esitsha esimangalisayo kwiYas Bay Waterfront Development e-Abu Dhabi. I-Giant sisithixo esenziwe ngesamente esinentloko kunye nezandla ezimbini eziphuma emanzini. Intloko yobhedu yodwa inobubanzi obuziimitha ezi-8.
Isithixo saqiniswa ngokupheleleyo ngeMateenbar™ saza emva koko sabekwa kwindawo leyo. Isigqubuthelo sekhonkrithi esincinci se-40 mm sachazwa kuba kwakufuneka isigqubuthelo sekhonkrithi esincinci xa kusetyenziswa uqinisekiso lweGFRP (Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer), kwaye akukho khuseleko lokugqwala olufunekayo xa kusetyenziswa iMateenbar™ ngenxa yokugqwala kwayo kunye nokumelana kwayo neekhemikhali okuphezulu.

Izinto Eziqwalaselwe Kwindalo Esingqongileyo Ngemifanekiso Eqinisiweyo Ehlanganisiweyo
Imifanekiso eqingqiweyo kunye nezinto zokwakha kufuneka zihlale ixesha elide kwaye azidingi kugcinwa okanye ukulungiswa ngexesha lobomi bazo.
Ezi zinto zilandelayo zendalo ziqwalaselwe ekukhetheni iMateenbar™ njengezona zinto zibalaseleyo zokuqinisa le projekthi.
1. umxholo wetyuwa ephezulu yolwandle lwe-Arabian Gulf.
2. umoya kunye nokufuma okuphezulu.
3. imithwalo ye-hydrodynamic evela ekunyukeni komgangatho wolwandle kunye nokunyuka kwesivuthuvuthu.
4. Amaqondo obushushu bamanzi olwandle kwiGulf aqala kwi-20ºC ukuya kwi-40ºC.
5. ubushushu bomoya ukusuka kwi-10ºC ukuya kwi-60ºC.

Kwindalo saseLwandle – Ukuqinisa iKhonkrithi Ehlala Ihleli
I-Mateenbar™ ikhethwe njengesisombululo esifanelekileyo sokuqinisa ukuphelisa umngcipheko wokugqwala kunye nokwandisa umjikelo wobomi boyilo ngaphandle kokugcinwa. Ikwabonelela ngomjikelo wobomi boyilo beminyaka eli-100. Akukho zongezo zekhonkrithi ezifana ne-silica fume ezifunekayo xa usebenzisa i-GFRP rebar. Ii-bends zenziwa kumzi-mveliso kwaye zithunyelwa kwindawo leyo.
Ubunzima obupheleleyo beMateenbar™ esetyenziswayo bumalunga neetoni ezi-6. Ukuba iprojekthi iGiant yayisebenzise ukuqinisa intsimbi, ubunzima obupheleleyo bebuya kuba malunga neetoni ezingama-20. Inzuzo yokunciphisa ubunzima igcina iindleko zabasebenzi nezothutho.

Ayikokokuqala iMateenbar™ isetyenziswa e-Abu Dhabi. I-Abu Dhabi F1 Circuit isebenzisa ukuqinisa ikhonkrithi yeMateenbar™ kumgca wokugqibela. Iimpawu zeMateenbar™ ezingezizo zemagnethi nezingezizo ze-electromagnetic ziqinisekisa ukuba akukho kuphazamiseka kwezixhobo zexesha ezinobuthathaka.
