Exclusive to Discovery Channel, the epic engineering series, RICHARD HAMMOND’S BIG! will explore the secrets behind Burj Khalifa, the tallest building on the entire planet, in a special episode set to air in region on Thursday 19 March.

Award-winning British presenter, Richard Hammond, explores every part of the stunning Dubai landmark, with an access-all-areas pass allowing him to discover the engineering feats that made it possible to create something so incredibly big in the shifting sands of the desert.

In the ‘Tallest Building on Earth’ episode, Richard will help fix one of the many lifts inside some of the world’s longest elevator shafts and climb to the very top of the biggest lightening conductor on earth. His mission also includes joining the fearless team of window cleaners who work year-round at terrifying heights to find out how the maintenance teams keep over 100,000 square metres of glass clean.

Richard Hammond said: “I can’t wait to get out there and explore some truly huge examples of engineering genius in action. I love engineering and the science behind it. And the bigger the better. It’s going to be fact filled and huge fun. It’s going to be Big!”
