Major constrution projects underway in Hulhumeedhoo

Sea wall construction at the two opposite sides of Hulhumeedhoo is underway. The 1200ft long seawall, which is been built on the southeast side coast of Hulhudhoo has got a budget of Mrf2,800,000. The project is run on three different phases where the length of each phase is 400ft and the price determined accordingly. For each phase notices were made by the office calling for interested bidders to submit their bid documents. Island Development Committee evaluates the bids and sanctions the best potential bidder to go ahead with the project.
Island Express of Hulhudhoo won the race both the times and has successfully accomplished the two phases in time. The General Manager of Island Express Mr. Rilwan has confirmed the completion of the second phase last week. At the other end of Hulhumeedhoo, Shazum Investment Pvt Ltd has completed their first phase of constructing the sea wall at northeast of Meedhoo. On invitation for the bids on remaining phases , Shazum Investment has already won their bid for second phase and entered into contract with Meedhoo Office, Island Express is highly likely to win the final phase of southeast seawall of Hulhudhoo.

The qualities of the seawalls are breathtaking. The General Manager of Island Express, who provided technical expertise to Shazum Investment on constructing their first phase of the project confirmed the life of the sea wall, is 25 years.
However, speculations are high on the streets of Hulhumeedhoo regarding the credibility of the walls against tidal waves that kept washing away the coastal areas of these regions. Many believe once the channel between Hulhudhoo and J Resorts Handufushi is complete, the pressure caused by the current of these destructive waves to the southeast coast of Hulhudhoo will become weak.
