Reclamation works on Durrat Marina are now complete. A 50m canal will separate the largest island of the marine from the reclaimed golf course.
Phase I of construction is about to begin and this is the best time for potential investors to make a move. Land reclamation of the Durrat Marina islands, part of the luxury Durrat al Bahrain residential resort, has been completed ahead of schedule. Over five million cubic meters of material has been reclaimed in just 24 months to create the three new islands now ready for development.
With the successful completion of the land reclamation, Atkins was retained to continue as engineering and site supervision for the three islands which have a total area over 480,000m²
With water forming the central theme, work on the marine reclamation and shore protection of the three curved islands necessitated complex engineering as the design looked to maximise sea frontages by incorporating canals and beaches. The elliptical shorelines are protected by over 600,000 tonnes of locally quarried limestone rock revetments and 150,000 tonnes of concrete quay wall edge protection.
