5.2. Options for site Development
76. On the basis of a feasibility study done by IIFC Bangladesh, they proposed three options for site development.
A. The development of Sylhet Electronics City site is proposed by dredge spoil within earthen embankments, keeping some water body – ponds and lakes. This is traditional land-filling for large areas. And this can also be undertaken in parts, making small compartments with earthen embankments.
B. Instead of raising the entire project site, smaller islands may be developed by raising the area where the buildings planned. The individual buildings are constructed on raising islands, keeping other areas low at the original ground level. These islands are connected by road constructed on embankments.
C. Another method is to construct all the buildings on pillars, higher than the flood level and keeping the ground at original low level. Later the buildings are interconnected by elevated concrete roads built on pillars. This will allow water to pass under the buildings and the roads.

77. It is stated earlier that, the land is quite below the existing level of Sylhet- Companiganj highway. To prepare the site up to highway level will require to raise the land at least 15' and to bring it in a desirable level; it will also require more 10' height of the entire proposed area. In addition, during the rainy season the land goes under the water for a period of time. In case of any flash flood which happens sometime in rainy season prolonged the staying of water.

78. It is also suggested to developed land in phases, part by part. This is to be developed by constructing embankment all around the site, taking earth from the project land. This will create a polder and sub-polders. Later, these polders are to be filled by pumping dredge spoil in the polders, with proper care and drainage facilities. The dredge spoils may be procured locally. Or, this may also be done by bringing dredge sand from far places in river barges. The land filling by river sand will be more stable and economical.

6.0. Master Plan

79. The Master plan for the Sylhet Electronics City has been prepared by IIFC incorporating various required buildings and installations in different zones, as per programme design and requirement of the industry.

80. For development of the Sylhet Electronics City, the project area is divided into five different Blocks. Each block is attributed to different types of business. The details of the developments are provided below.
