The project was
uniquely demanding. The crescent was built in multiple
layers using sand, a water permeable sheet, small rocks and
two further layers of armour rocks weighing up to six
tonnes. Underwater excavators, guided by divers, then laid
the inside 'toe' of the crescent. An astonishing 92,234,000
cubic metres of sand was then transferred to build up the
landmass. Advanced Global Positioning technology ensured
that the land was reclaimed to within one centimetre of the
proposed design. Ikonos, the world's first privately owned
satellite, orbits the earth 14 times a day, supplying high
resolution photography of the project. Connecting the
crescent to the mainland required a subsea tunnel. During
its construction an area of the sea was drained using a
coffer dam and the seabed excavated to build the tunnel
itself. The sea was then allowed back inside the dam area.
When all of
the existing projects are complete, more than two million
people will be living in a Nakheel community and enjoying
the highest standard support services and amenities. Nakheel
Asset Management (NAM) team will provide a top quality
community management service to Palm Jumeirah's owners and
