1.Palm Jumeirah a breakwater wall is built around the artificial island. This breakwater or the following functions to block the big waves that come so as not to go to the artificial island in which it is built by piling the base the sea with sand and then on top it is given compliance until it is above sea level along with the construction of the breakwater. After that, the rocks are backfilled with sand which is taken from the seabed using a dredger to form palm leaves and so that the shape of this artificial island is precise and accurate. these technicians use the help of GPS technology to keep the soil of this artificial island stable and not sinking the technicians then use a soil compactor, namely vibro convection, this tool produces vibrations and vibrates the surrounding soil so that the soil becomes solid and stable after that only then Installed various kinds of infrastructure on top of the artificial island, some of the largest artificial islands in Dubai, including the first is Palm Jumeirah Palm Jumeirah is an artificial island built in 2001 by a company called Natkal, a company owned by by the Dubai government the shape of this Palm Jumeirah is shaped like a palm tree with a trunk that has 17 leaves and there is a crescent-shaped island surrounding it which functions as a breakwater with a length of 17 km.
