Maldives Transport and Contracting Company (MTCC) has commenced the installation of precast concrete quay wall blocks under the harbour development project in Himmafushi, Kaafu Atoll.
The harbour development project in Himmafushi was contracted to MTCC in 2020. Under the project, MTCC has completed dredging 14,300 cubic metres for the proposed harbour basin. MTCC is currently installing the precast concrete quay wall blocks, which will be followed by the construction of a 38-metre rock boulder revetment and a 172-metre rock boulder breakwater.
The harbour development project in Himmafushi aims to resolve the difficulties faced in entry and exit of vessels and the transport of cargo to the island. The project was contracted to MTCC at a price of USD 1.68 million.
