Dredging Underway on Abu Dhabis Al Raha Beach Project
Work in Abu Dhabi is forging ahead on the Al Raha Beach development project that will see the creation of 500 hectares of new land. The project is being implemented by Aldar on the beach side of the main highway leading into the city of Abu Dhab, from Dubai.
The project, which is on the south side of Glasgow, is the largest of its kind in Scotland and will reduce the risk of flooding to approximately 1,750 homes and businesses in the area and allow a range of environmental improvements to be undertaken along the White Cart Water corridor.
The project site is 10km long and lies along a channel of water known as the ‘Airport Channel’. When completed, the new city will accommodate over 120,000 residents and feature around 70 high rise towers.
The reclamation project requires the removal of more than 40m m 3of dredged material.
