Boskalis wins EUR 80 million contract for artificial islands in Indonesia
March 24 2016 - 2:00AM
Papendrecht, 24 March 2016
Royal Boskalis Westminster N.V. (Boskalis) has
been awarded a contract by KSO Ciputra Yasmin to construct the land
for the Centre Point of Indonesia Project
located off the coast of Makassar. The contract value is
approximately EUR 80 million. Work is scheduled to commence in the
coming months and will last two years. Boskalis will deploy a mega
trailing suction hopper dredger for the reclamation activities.
The project involves the construction of five
artificial islands off the coast of Makassar. Approximately 75
hectares of land will be reclaimed using 9 million cubic meters of
sand sourced from offshore borrow areas. The islands will be
protected by rock revetments.
The construction of the five islands marks the
first phase of a prestigious development by KSO Ciputra to provide
high-quality waterfront land for both residential and commercial
use.
Boskalis' strategy is aimed at benefitting from
key macro-economic factors which drive worldwide demand in our
markets: expansion of the global economy, increasing energy
consumption, global population growth and the challenges presented
by climate change. This land reclamation project is driven by the
necessity to create land to accommodate population growth in a
densely populated region.
