Dubai Palm Islands

Man-made Palm Islands in Dubai, with planning and careful engineering has been created. Palm Jumeirah the first man who established the land reclamation work for the crescent-shaped floating breakwater to protect the sea started with. Breakwater at the deepest point at the bottom of the sea 11 feet from stage left and descend to sea level is rising four feet above the island could be considered the worst sea conditions designed to protect. Engineers in the ridge of the island between the form of palm leaves to keep the water in order to avoid the pain of healing, half-moon on each side of the entrance of sea water to put the gutters.
Branches, 4,000 villas and apartments by the sea for the Palm Jumeirah artificial island is offering land, blatantly lies to the Arabian Gulf. Also known as the Eighth Wonder of the world, this new residential area of Dubai, doubling the 70-mile shoreline, while also damaging coastal ecosystems.

Lunar base instead of desert sand taken from the sea clutter is composed of a small hill, because according to engineers, seismic sea sand, the natural environment in terms of maintenance than more durable and stable. Engineers to place the sand with a share of up to one centimeter accuracy to control their use of a Differential Global Positioning System. A permeable geotextile sand sheets overlying water, sand and water to remain in place to ensure the drift.

On each ton of sand in a "small" rocks include a protective layer. Half Moon on the inside of each of the weight of one to four tons, ranging from the rocks formed a "toe" lies, this rocks floating crane lifted the replacement and then underwater excavator with compressed were utilized. The layer of small rocks on top of each of the weight of up to six tons of rocks were two "armor" has more layers.

Having been placed firmly in lunar interior of the island to build the foundation stone was placed five million cubic meters. Then comb the land masses to create machines to transfer 92 million cubic meters of sand began to work with a clockwise rotation. This process is complete, move to the floor of the building on a subject vital to sit down before the sand-this is normally a natural process in the area millions of years. Hence the 50 year follow up of sand to sit two and a half inches to ensure that "vibrate" compression process was implemented.
