EXCLUSIVE: Boskalis kicks off Hulhumale’ Phase 3 land reclamation

Land reclamation operations for the Hulhumale’ Phase 3 in the Maldives – conducted by Boskalis – officially started last week. Under this phase, around 63 hectares of new land will be created, said Urbanco.

Land reclamation works for the Phase 3 started from the north-west end the bridge tunnel, between Phase 1 and Phase 2 area, and will extend to the entire lagoon, up to the northern-tip of Phase 2; meaning that the semi-reclaimed Farukolhufushi will be part of the new phase.

According to Urbanco, the new phase is being undertaken for various social housing initiatives aimed at awarding affordable social housing.

The company said that the road development projects would follow the land reclamation program.

Upon completion of land reclamation, urban development initiatives will also begin, including activities on community parks, sports and recreational facilities and other amenities.
