Cement Transport?
My Dad's best friend in Italy is a civil engineer. Looking at my father's photos of Dubai, Mario asked how the cement for skyscrapers is transported from the ground to the high floors where it is used to build the next level of the building. I have no idea about these type of things so if anyone has an idea, please post here so I can pass onto Mario. Thank you.

They use concrete pumps. Fleets of cement mixers deliver the concrete to site and it's pumped up to where it's needed.
Apparently the really powerful big pumps come from Germany.
The pumps are responsible for most of the construction noise - the noise in the decibel range which creates an urgent hum or rumble.
This noise considerably reduces once all the floors have been poured.
Thanks Seabee and NZM! Passed along your comments to Mario.
