The Burj Khalifa is full of apartments, and the Armani Residences - Luxury based apartments. It is true that the lower levels are mixed mode, but it also has the record of the highest occupied level at 160. Most floors up to and including 108 are residential.

[4ustr4li4]

2nd worlds tallest residential!

worlds tallest residentaial building is Q1 in gold coast

[joelwitter]

@4ustr4li4 Worlds Tallest is Burj Khalifa in Dubai - 160 Floors.

[4ustr4li4]

@joelwitter burj khalifa is not a residential building. Q1 is just apartments

[DnGthe1gentlemen]

[watson7ful]

window cleaning is important for all. My video is almost similar to this.

[CaitlinCaitlin01]

Wow you guys a VERY brave!!!! i went on the edge XD

[machupan]

brightway what a bunch of losers

AJS ALL THE WAY :)

[CMCHRYSLERVALIANT]

I was in this buliding the other day on skydeck 88, I have a bad fear of hights it took me 2hours just to get the nerve to get close to the window, you guys must have no nerves, hope you get paid heads, you deserve every cent.

[JakeStevenH]

the eureka tower is good as :D

[SuperDunge]

Für den Job, musste Schmerzfrei sein =D

[Fatfark001]

I KNOW PETER JONES SON!!!!

[rascalruss7]

Where is it? is it in Australia?

[afrokc]

@rascalruss7 yeah, in Melbourne

[killersushi99]

Why not make a track, rail or groove for the bucket to ride in on the side of the building.. Dangling from cables seems pretty low tech.

[cocoluvslego1st]

i did a school report on eureka lol

[shiaGodfather]

man who the hell is going to look up to the hundreds floor and say ya hmmm I don't think these windows are clean what you think Jimmy

[adidasToronto]

u guys are so stupid, just wait for the rain and add some soap, doneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[larsulrich63]

@adidasToronto dickhead

[1superocky1]

just done the house windows that was bad enough !!! massive respect for these guys .

[canine420]

I use to fabricate & install these same kind of window washing systems here in the U.S.A. (Livonia, Mich.) I've "been there & done that" many times before. One thing that surprises me though is the platform that you are using, is a solid panel design?? No wonder your worried so much about the wind in & around the building !! It has no where to pass through your platform!! Not a good design in my opinion, especially near the water, where the wind is always coming from. Great Video though !!

[altoids79762]

i want to be a window washer for the burj dubai

[nWofan4ever]

aussies got that job too....

[rupepill]

@altoids79762  then you might keep a wary eye cocked for relatively low flying jets

[THESALMON8TR]

I'm the taller one in this vid, and no our wage wasnt that good! try 20 bucks an hour! i absoloutely LOVED this job though, got heaps of sick photos of sunrises over melbourne! Thanks evryone for the positive comments, i dont work on the tower anymore but it is still one of the best jobs i've ever had! if anyone get a chance to try it i say go for it! :)

[altoids79762]

i dont think i would have the balls too but ima try to lol

[Boeing1123]

you'd think they would have better technology than buckets of water...Im a widnow washer in USA and we have jetwashers

[shopfronter]

Yeah but most of Australia (including the Melbourne area) is in massive drought with serious water restrictions

[darkskies1989]

@Boeing1123

we use those jetwashers on most of the buildings; eureka is just a bit awkward with it's shape i guess, needs a mans hand to do the job lol

[Aglassact77]

Yes, but a jet washer won't work on the massive amounts of caulk and silicone that a new construction like this one's got. Nothing will ever do as good of a job as a man with a squeegee, scraper, and scouring pad. Buckets of water have worked on windows for over a hundred years.

[cricka09]

these blokes must be on a decent wage have to be 50 bucks an hour at least

[SuperChrisquinn]

should try it on a rope!!!! we were the first.

[rupepill]

@SuperChrisquinn Washing windows while suspended like soap on a rope?

[Morwekful]

i was up there ;P was fuckin sick

[Jshepherd904]

wow...just watching that makes me feel like a scared lil bitch.

[LickMyLovePumpp]

truuue!

[Execify]

Fuck that must be an awesome job

[CosplayerTheRealLink]

Thanks for sharing this insightful video to everyone who doesn't really know just what goes on in a window washer's job on a tall building.  Very informative and enjoyable to watch!

[0Matt007]

i went to top of that for school thingy the other night went on an edge thing were get in a glass cube and go 3m out and u dont see anything underneth you except for an 88story drop my legs buckled in there lol

[Shuxa02]

And where is the safety line, i don't see them...? It should not be secured to the scaffold...!

[davetherave22]

This is a great insight into high rise window cleaning. It really looks like a lot of hassle having to clean those windows, not to mention scary.

I think i'll stick to cleaning two storey buildings.

[MBroomhall1]

My knees were buckling even as I was watching....you guys are crazy! What a job!

[ssgem3]

plenty of drugs and alcopops

[BornSinners]

they all look like a bunch of junkie window cleaners or is that a prerequisite to being a high rise window cleaner today

Ex back packer window cleaner from around the world the laws are so slack in Australia that i only had alcoholics and junkies as partners to work with when are they going to DRUG test them all? and see how many are left to clean your windows accident waiting to happen OHS WHAT A JOKE..

[mixmasterdylan]

im as hardcore as yhey come but i would take one look at that job tell someone to go fuck themselfs and do some route work

[sportandmovies]

i would shit a brick i could not even look over the side i would die

[shauny83]

This vid made me feel sick

[kragier]

Residention O_o

Wow...

[davnol69]

you should do a drop over the skydeck without letting anyone know,so it pushes the swing stage away from the building when it comes out

[darkskies1989]

omg there's no way i'd be able to do that job O_O i'd freak out from the height and probs puke down everyones windows heheeh; imagine watchin TV in ur eureka tower apartment and then u see all this vomit slowly dripping down your window LOL XD

[dossidosser]

My name is stuart gillard i am a thai boxing fighter do not mess with me or i will fuck you up

[gbilios]

is that a back-pack or a parachute?? LOL

[DarkBeast29]

im a window cleaner and i cleaned the New york Times building in manhattan (the one people climbed it twice to the top) it took us 6 months to finish the first post construction wash and the scaffold they have in that building is a monster compared to this little scaffold

[Terrythestud]

i got afraid of the height when watching this

[54spiritedwill54]

excellent video

[Oculuscupitumamo1]

I LOVE QLD to bad i Live in NSW I love CALOUNDRA too You guys Are Fucken Champions

[spinny114]

Eureka Tower is in Victoria, not QLD

[fishboy1989]

the relevance of this comment to the eureka tower is????

[lexingtonbeats308]

it said "COX" aahahahahhahahaha

[watwifthisguy]

i hav only seen this from the outside but never inside and i live in Melbourne!

[teemuruskeepaa]

Hate the presumptuous music 'here I'm cleaning windows, earning an honest bart'. Do the get to see sex through the windows?

[rupepill]

Yes indeed - the residents watch while the window cleaners do sexy things on their platform. There is of course an extra service charge levied for this.

[ssgem3]

i need too be stoned to work on this building or pissed//////

[swanie180]

YEAH!!!! That and the Q1, dude were freakin awesome!!! Thats so crazy though, I would freak out so much, I built up a sweat just watching it!

[mayonhayes]

you lads are seriously INSANE!! i work on flinders between king and spencer and when gettin to work each mornin i have a glance at the eureka to see if yer there. respect!!! i dont have a fear of heights but wouldnt do yer job

[djukapc]

hello i am window cleaner from serbia and i just want to say great job for this mens and i will try too but here in serbia the highest building is just 30 floors.(sory about my english)

[rupepill]

Nice to see the comment implying the importance of being a constructive individual. No doubt a constructive individual would be fairminded enough to acknowledge that the two workers in this video in fact do show extraordinary commitment in doing this job at such heights. The job circumstances are not what many people would want or be able to face.

[ChileRay]

It don't take no balls to do this job,training, lots of savey, journeymen level.Ladders claim more lives,here you'll need 2 failures to kiss the pavement, very safe.After the first 10' it's all the same and if you hit your bean at any distance your scrambled eggs.

It takes more guts to get out of bed in the morning and face life and to be a constructive individual.

Yoos guy made a great video I only hope they pay you a good hourly rate and provide health insurance

Rookies take notes

[ChileRay]

So it seem their are at least who think my comments suck ! Well sorry to say to those who don't like my comments, but I know this biz from top to bottom and those with any experience and savvy have to agree with my point of view, those who haven't put in the time and find my comments skewed wouldn't know any better and that just makes them ignorant !

[macaly1]

Great vid lads. Im a window cleaner from Scotland but i dont think i would have the bottle to go as high as you lads.

[dawgballs88]

40ft 1000ft its all the same result if you ever fell from those heights

[ChileRay]

Those are the facts kids!

[TinyDane]

Dude Im a window cleaner from Englan and you guyz are sooo brave hats off 2 ya. Must have balls of steel 2 do that! Respect

[meneertjeA]

i,am a windowcleaner from holland

i have seen this video fore the first time now i think this is great whay to do this work greet video boy,s

[Topsiekku]

nämä pojat ei korkeita paikkoja pelkää

[biffskin]

great video.

[mint1mint2]

holy shit.

[petekosednar]

Cool video!

[rupepill]

The names of the game fellows in this video should be entered in the Guinness Book of Records. This, after all, is the world's tallest residential building. Surely, cleaning windows at that level counts as some kind of record?

[zirkzee007]

Hi I work in sydney installing bmus can you send me a copy of this video??

[Barsopen1970]

i guess a recommendation for compulsary usage of safety helmuts from the OH&S was a bit of a joke then ! lmao

[v8beater]

just went to the eureka's skydeck last week, geez it's scary..i cant believe you guys have guts to clean those windows...

[gymy777]

Great Video guys

[NatStrachan]

excellent video

[Bibbycat]

Great video I hope you do some more on High Rise window cleaning, great view

[shikira]

thanks for an interesting look at what goes on with cleaning windows in highrises. You guys are BRAVE

[uumina]

what a great video. really informative

[morphix007]

Entertaining and insightfull.

[ours1957]

I'm a window cleaner myself in canada and I think you guys ares very brave to clean windows so high ! Congrats man ! I dont get dizzy going up my ladder but I would up a tall building :-)

[senzil]

Thanks for this , very intresting.. I would love to cost for the inital clean, and the cost for the regular quarterly clean!! How long does it take to clean the hole builing internal and external?

[buwang619]

sick,that job needs alot of guts and balls..

[taztij]

Great video except it should come with a warning not to eat egg salad sandwiches at lunch while watching at your desk if you have any fear of heights...

[5g5ty8]

that is so cool, where do i sign up?

[rupepill]

Well done to all concerned. A well prepared and interesting documentary. Has it had any screening on television?

A series of work related films such as this one would be very useful in giving work seekers like senior school students a clear idea of safety issues at work.

Obviously, this job requires intelligence, good judgment and cool nerves.

[ChileRay]

Rup....don't forget experience, without it youse are working to hard!
