China Harbour Engineering Company has won a Dh150 million contract for marine and infrastructure works at Al Hamra Real Estate’s Dh1 billion Falcon Island development in Ras Al Khaimah.
The natural island in the Arabian Gulf which forms part of Al Hamra’s 77 million square feet Al Hamra Village development, will eventually comprise 150 eco-villas and waterfront mansions, separated by a Venetian-style canal alongside private beaches and parks.
Under the terms of the contract China Harbour Engineering, a subsidiary of China Communications Construction Company, will dredge the central canal, which will split the island in half, landscape beaches as well as complete power, sewerage and road networks on the island.
Work is due to begin in March 2015, with completion expected by October 2016.
