On November 13, an international consortium were contracted to carry out the construction of the New Suez Canal; a major expansion that deepens the main waterway and provides ships with a 35km channel parallel to it.

More than 200 million m3 of sand were dredged by the contracted companies during the 9 months they had to complete the project. Landscape and architecture photographer Luuk Kramer, and portrait photographer Ringel Goslinga worked in Egypt in May and early June 2015 to record the construction as well as the people behind it.
