The long-planned rock seawall on the southern end of Ebeye Island in Kwajalein is starting to take on a significant shape.
According to the website of one of the contractors, Royal HaskoningDHV, the seawall will use about 65,000 tons of armor rock, which is heavy natural stone used for coastal protection and erosion control. The rock is being imported from the United Arab Emirates.
Royal HaskoningDHV is working with the RMI Ministry of Public Works, Infrastructure and Utilities and dredging and marine construction company Hall Contracting.
