Moving Mountains
Abu Dubai Construction Journal
The first phase of construction on two of the three islands has been finished. The mayor wanted the two mountaineous islands flat and just above the sea level. As no infrastructueis present on the islands, the entire operation had to be executed by ship. Large excavators and bulldozers were put on the island by ship and the earth and rocks were transported away with large barges. The construction activities lasted for 8 months, which is quite fast, regarding that the islands were first respectable mountains.
Engineers and architects now swarm the flat islands, planning and designing the new districts. The plans are not clear yet, but it is for sure that the quality of the districts will surpass the Abu Dubai Waterfront. Construction on a bridge have already started, laying the foundation for the infrastructure on the islands.
