The Maldives Transport and Contracting Company (MTCC) has successfully completed the land reclamation phase of the land reclamation and shore protection project in Thaa Hirilandhoo.

The Ministry of Construction, Housing and Infrastructure announced the update via X, confirming that 100 per cent of the reclamation work is now complete. The project has now moved into its next phase, which involves the construction of shore protection structures.

The project, valued at MVR 105.19 million, includes the reclamation of 25 hectares of land, along with shore protection works comprising 1,080 metres of revetment and 80 metres of groyne construction.

The development is expected to support the island’s growth by increasing available land area and enhancing coastal resilience.
