Construction and Reclamation

Construction and reclamation was a natural progression from the export business. Building on a foundation of precision, FBS embarked on a land reclamation project that would see land gain of 2.24km² for the Government of Fujairah.

FBS provides drilling, blasting and quarrying of all materials used to construct the reclamation by excavating a part of the Fujairah mountainous area. Coastal protection works are required in order to protect the new strip of reclaimed land from the wave action along the new coastline.

• 2500 trucks loaded per day
• 24/7 operations
• 16 tonnes of explosives per day
• Single source deal with Komatsu
• Automatic weighbridge that has lead to significant time savings, and therefore ensures the project is kept within budget.This state of the art automatic weighbridge system was designed specifically for this project, to ensure efficiency and accurate readings of how much rock is delivered per truck, per trip
• Innovative quality and testing procedures such as simulating a 30 meter oil tank on the created reclaimed land.

• Produced 4.1m MT in Mrach 2010(160,000 MT per day)
