Eko Atlantic’s “Great Wall of Lagos” exceeds 6km length

Eko Atlantic, a brand new city being built adjacent to
Victoria Island, Lagos, announces the Great Wall of
Lagos has surpassed 6 kilometres in length.
Construction of the Great Wall of Lagos, which can be
seen from space, began construction in 2009. The wall,
which will reach 8.5 kilometers upon completion, is a
large sea revetment that protects the emerging new
city, Victoria Island, and parts of Lekki from the threat
of flooding due to coastal erosion and ocean surge.

“Various Nigerian and international searches show that
the erosion rate of the Lagos coast, since as far as back
1910’s, when the record began, has been in the order of
2 to 10 meters per year” says Daniel Kamau, Managing
Director, Royal Haskoning Engineering Consultants, the
appointed marine engineers for the Eko Atlantic Project.
“The land where Eko Atlantic is being built existed
historically, but has eroded over a long period. Eko
Atlantic will restore some of the land lost to the sea and
protect it from erosion,” he concluded.

The revetment uses a proven method of Accropode
units as primary armour for the structure. Each
accropode is made on site and weighs 5 tons. 100,000
accropodes will be placed in a predefined grid, using a
GPS system for pin-point accuracy.

The basic principles of revetment, as a proven
engineering solution for river and coastal protection,
have been used for centuries, if not millenniums, around
the world. The sea wall is designed and tested to handle
the worst storms in hundreds/thousand years, putting
into consideration global warming and rising sea levels.

and what wld happen to d areas outside this 8.5km wall (from ikate up)? to perish in d surge that d wall wld create on those other side of teh lekki peninsula rite?

Thats why ur village(wherever that is) would never develop. Stay put in another man's land wailing about how you developed it in ur imagination. I know ur happiness lies in attaching yourself to other people's belongings. Have fun with it dear.

Na story you dey talk. I am a lagosian, born and breed here...i don't need the consent of a nobody like you to tell me if I should stay or leave. I pay my taxes and contribute to the development of my darling state...eat shit if e dey pain u

Hahahah u wish dear. You got salty over a comment that never mentioned you seeking for relevance and attention cos otherwise no one knows or cares about what u are. Darling listen we both know you are just a hateful and bitter human hiding behind ur keyboard to claim lagosian. Taaaa who dash monkey? I won't dignify u with another response. Purge yourself of hatred it would do u a whole lot of good.

now very easy for depressed lagosians to commit suicide. no need to jump just walk enter water

True

Lol, he is probably a Landlord here and has as much right as anyone else so you are the one who is irrelevant. You can't tell someone who was born and has lived in Lagos all his life to go home, what do you mean by home when Lagos is practically his hometown.

Lagos belongs to Nigerians, if you don't think so leave your keyboard and go and drive Igbos in Balogun, Alaba and Ladipo or the Ijaws and Deltans in Ajegunle or at Makoko, you can also go and drive Hausas at Okoko, Iyanoba or Idiaraba, why not go and drive Efiks and Ibibios spread across the state, joker

They're trying to deprive the average Lagosian access to the beach

Have you seen that of Dubai?

This is impressive

Very impressive indeed, Lagos is heading somewhere

Am a fan to buildings.. They interest me so much. I do have a question to the engineers in the house. What would be the depth of the foundation for the laying off iron rod? How many mm of iron rod is used? How many rodr are there in a pilar?. I always wonder the foundation and depth and amount of steel rod are used from the foundation.

Hope they are not claiming they developed this oooo

The flat heads will not go & create their own Flatty Atlantic for them town now o, they'll wait & enjoy this one & later say na them develop it.

By their utterances you can tell the shape of their heads.

there are Nigerian Banks and investment firms in on this as well

My favorite part is to see NIGERIAN workers working and having jobs building for Lagos. Hopefully we see more of this all over Yorubaland and other parts of Nigeria

This project started from the pride of Yorubaland, and will soon turn to the pride of Nigeria, to the pride of Africa.

This kind of projet cant happen in Osus land ooo
