How to create artificial islands in Dubai (14 photos)
Dubai has built an artificial island, which will be located commercial and residential real estate.
Another ambitious project.
Dubai - member state of the United Arab Emirates - sand, as you know, more than you need. However, the sand taken from the desert, covering the Arabian Peninsula, is not suitable dtya construction of artificial islands - he too shallow. If you offer the services of a tourist beach, poured out of him, he does not like them. Yes the sand and did not hold out on the beach - the wind carries it easily from place to place, so that the sand for artificial islands brought from the coast of the Persian Gulf.
Special vessel with a giant hose pumps in their holds sand shallows of the bay. Then it is delivered to the coast of Dubai and construct from it the island. The same ship pours a small hill to the bottom of the sea - this is the bottom layer of the future islands, their foundation is strong enough. It continued to dump the sand from the hold of the vessel, scattering it with a pump on a high arc.
The waves do not wash away these pieces of land, enclose them with "barrier reef" ring girded island. \
For the construction of breakwaters using other technologies. At first poured sand and sheltering his paintings, which are then laid on the gravel and rocks of medium size.
Such supposedly reflect even four-meter wave heights.
