The project was spread over an area of more than 183,000 square meters and the work took 18 months to complete. There were difficulties, as the site was located on an island and all supplies had to be ferried to the site during low tide. Other challenges included limited access to the road network around the project and the fluctuating and extreme weather conditions on the island, which affected the movement of heavy equipment and trucks as well as the subcontractors’ work on site.
