The Palm Island (2005-2006)
The project was to construct islands by dredging material extracted from the bottom of the Gulf. Sand is sprayed from dredging ships, guided by the Global Positioning System (GPS) onto the required area. The breakwater of the Palm Jumeirah has over seven million tons of rock. Al Rafeh’s participation in this project was to supply machines run by professional operators for the reclamation and levelling of dredged material, in addition to rock placing.
