Jan De Nul will be responsible for the dredging, land reclamation, beach profiling and sand placement, and directly supporting the construction of villas across all fronds.

With mobilisation activities already underway, Jan De Nul Dredging is expected to complete the entire scope of marine works at Palm Jebel Ali in just over two years.

The first eight fronds of the project are expected to be site-ready by the first quarter of 2025, allowing for the commencement of villa infrastructure and civil works.

“As Nakheel intensifies its development activity under Dubai Holding, the expertise of Jan De Nul Dredging in marine, civil construction and environmental projects is pivotal as we accelerate progress on this transformational development,” stated Khalid Al Malik, CEO of Dubai Holding Real Estate.

The project supports the goals of the Dubai Economic Agenda D33. Moreover, it marks the beginning of a new growth corridor in the Jebel Ali area, underlining Dubai’s expansion.
