The Government of Tuvalu (GoT) and the Green Climate Fund (GCF) have jointly committed US$40million for the Tuvalu Coastal Adaptation Project (TCAP). The project is aimed to build coastal resilience which is an urgent national priority. Intercoastal were engaged by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) to undertake the scoping, feasibility, concept and detailed design of coastal defence measures across three of Tuvalu’s most at-risk islands and to ensure the timely implementation of the coastal protection was performed to international standards whilst adhering to stringent UNDP and GCF environmental and safeguards practises.

Intercoastal ensured that the construction works and associated processes were meticulously planned, implemented, monitored and adhere to best practices. The role involved detailed site investigation, stakeholder consultation, procurement and contract management and construction supervision of major dredging and reclamation work as well as the construction of coastal structures.
