Stretching across a total of 80 kilometres at a cost of Dh26 million, the fences and gates cover the remaining unfenced sections of DWC site boundary, all free zone area across Dubai Logistics City and DWC Aviation City, and the first phase of the airfield. "The entire fencing is equivalent to that of securing an area nearly twice the size of Hong Kong Island Hong Kong Island is an island in the southern part of Hong Kong, China. It had a population of 1,268,112 and its population density was 15,915/km² in 2006. The island was captured by the United Kingdom in the early 1840s, and the City of Victoria was then established on the island. -- a feat quite remarkable in itself," said Abdulla Al Falasi, DWC's director of marketing and corporate communications. A total of around 30,000 tonnes of steel and wires were used throughout the entire area, which took workers some 365 days to finish.
