At this point, the island began to show shape, but rose only several feet above the surface of the water. The final step was to dredge over 8,500,000 m3 (302,000,000 ft3) of ocean sand onto the top of the base structure in order to create habitable islands. This sea sand increased the island’s height to 4 m (13 ft) above low tide (6). In order to quickly, yet precisely acquire and distribute
