Satellite imagery dated 14 November 2014 shows the island has expanded almost the entire length of the reef. It is reportedly 3000 m long and between 200 and 300 m wide. According to IHS Jane’s report, multiple operating dredgers provide the ability to generate terrain rapidly. Operating from a harbour area, dredgers deliver sediment via a network of piping.
