How They Built Palm Jumeirah #engineering # #marineengineering

How They Built Palm Jumeirah In 2001, Dubai had nothing but open sea off its coast. Then came a bold plan: build an island shaped like a palm tree, five kilometres wide, from scratch. Watch how dredging ships pulled 94 million cubic metres of sand from the Persian Gulf seabed, how "rainbowing" sprayed that sand into giant arcs with GPS precision, and how a crescent breakwater of rock shielded the island from the waves. You'll also see how vibrating probes packed the soft sand tight enough to build on, and how the first families moved in by 2007.
