Climate change adaptation works in the remote Pacific Island island nation of Tuvalu

Tuvalu Coastal Adaptation Project

#About this project

With the small island nation of Tuvalu extremely vulnerable to the impacts of climate change including rising sea levels and severe weather events, Hall has been engaged to deliver coastal protection works across three of the country’s coral atolls.

Mobilising to Funafuti in November 2022, Hall began constructing a new 78,000m2 bunded foreshore reclamation area at Vaiaku.

The crew has also delivered a new boat harbour and breakwater in Funafuti, and relocated to Nanumanga to construct a 665m berm top barrier and boat ramp.

The project will wrap up in Nanumea, with Hall undertaking beach renourishment works and constructing a 1,330m berm top barrier, 170m Seabee seawall and seven reef-top barriers on the atoll.
