OC Global conducted the on-site survey, implementation design, and construction supervision. The 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, which hit just after the project was completed, demonstrated the seawall’s full disaster prevention function. Male’ Island had no human or material damage, and the local people were very grateful for Japan’s official development assistance (ODA) project. Because of its significant contribution, the project was also published in the Japan Society of Civil Engineers (JSCE) International Infrastructure Archives.
