    of land
    reclamation
    Construction(cont.)
    First of all, construction of 11.5km long
    breakwater was started.
    Total of 40,000 of the workers were hired from
    the Asia and different parts of the country.
    There were two shifts of 12 hours. So, it was
    being built 24 hours.

    The breakwater consists
    of three layers:
    Initial layer: of sand
    built up 7.5km from

    How to reach?
    SWOT ANALYSIS

    Palm Island has increased the number of tourists.
    It has also solved the land reclamation problem.

    Weaknesses:
    Erosion of Sand that is caused by winds and
    water.
    Loss of coastal shape along the sea shore.
    SWOT ANALYSIS
    Opportunities:
    It has also increased the revenue of the country.
    Meets the requirement of the growing tourism

    Threats:
    High waves.
    More storm frequency.
    More earthquakes.
    Scope
    Because of the less geographic area and
    increasing no of visitors, they decided to build
    Palm Island.
    It attracts more than million tourists every
    year.
    This idea proves itself as a major revenue
    turning source for the country.
    Cost
    Estimated cost was around 2 billion USD (1.5
    billion USD).
    The final cost was 12.3 USD
    The cost was managed by overcoming all the

    2005.
    Delayed by 2 years
    Reasons of Delay
    Erosion
    Due to the shape of the island right outside
    the coast of Dubai, there is loss of coastal
    shape along the seashore of Dubai
    Quality Management
    Quality was managed by putting more of
    armor and rocks to make the sand harder and
    to prevent it from storms.
    Breakwater was used to manage the
    earthquakes.
    Day by Day palm island is improved by
    changing technology.
