Introduction
The employer of the project is DLH General Directorate; the
consultant of project is Avrasya consult which includes Pacific Consultants
International, Yüksel Project International Incorporated Company, Oriental
Consultants, JARTS associated with Parsons Brinckerhoff International,
Terzibaşıoğlu Consultant Engineering Limited Company, Yerbilimleri
Research & Consultancy Limited Company and the Contractor of project is
Taisei, Gama, Nurol Construction Companies.
The project which I had done my internship is one of the biggest
railway project in the world. The project consists of three main parts;
Part 1: Railway Bosphorus Tube Crossing Tunnels and Station
Construction (Contract Bosphrous Crossing 1)
Part 2: Gebze – Haydarpaşa, Sirkeci – Halkalı Commuter Rail Upgrading:
Civil & Electrical & Mechanical Systems (Contract Common Railway 1)
Part 3: Rolling Stock Production (Contract Common Railway 2)
The project will provide a railway connection between Europe and Asia, a
long-term solution for Istanbul’s traffic problem with high capacity, safe,
quality and cheap transport system.
The approximate cost of project 3 billion $ and has a design life for
100 hears. Total length of the project alignment is 76.3 km. Total number
of stations is 40 (three of them are underground stations). Expected
number of passenger in one direction is 75,000. Design speed of project is
100 km/hr. The headway between train operations in the alignment is 2
minutes.
The idea of connecting of two continents with underwater crossing
was carried out with ground investigations in 1985 and the alignment was
established in 2003 by the consultant, after the bid, in 2004 by the
contractor. The project of BC1 contains immersed tube tunnels, bored
tunnels (with TBM and NATM method), railway stations, archaeological
excavations. However, the Marmaray project was not the first idea of
crossing Bosphorus underwater. The idea was first produced in the
Ottoman Empire in 1860 during the reign of Sultan Abdulmecid. The first
project of underwater crossing project can be seen in Appendix picture
also the other projects can be seen in Appendix. During Sultan II
Abdulhamit, a design similar to first one was designed, has the name Sea
Tunnel.
The Ayrılıkçeşme, Üsküdar, Yenikapı and Sirkeci stations the
Marmaray Project will be linked with Istanbul City Municipality railway
transport systems. Moreover, the Asian side will be linked to Sabiha
Gökçen Airport and the European side to Atatürk Airport.
I had done my summer practice in Taisei – Gama – Nurol Joint
Venture at Üsküdar under ground station and other sites of the project.
More information about my internship can be got from main text and
appendixes.

Main Text
First Week of Summer Practice and its Discussion:
At the first week of my internship, I took occupation healthy and
worker security training as a company rule because company gives
importance on security and healthy of their workers. I helped for sending
announcement and consent letter people who live on the alignment of the
Fatih – Yedikule in order to determine the houses which could be damaged
after the passing TBM under the alignment. TBM will pass 3 meters under
the houses at the alignment and also most of the houses at Fatih –
Yedikule alignment are not reinforced concrete; thus, many of them can
be damaged because of TBM vibrations during its working. Therefore
these houses must be determined and people who live at these houses
must be carried to other places.
Üsküdar site, where is near to the Bosphorus, is an under ground
cut & cover station. At Üsküdar station, Diaphragm wall technique was
used in order to prevent entering underground water into the station and
to prevent the soil and water pressures against the station. Anchorage or
intersecting pile method can not be used because station is too close sea
so there are not enough places for anchorages and also the station is
based on stream bed because of the fact that intersecting piles can be
departed from its direction. During the establishment of diaphragm wall in
order to prevent soil pressure bentonite is used. Rather than usage of
sheet-piling using carrying method has even less vibration. Diaphragm
walls are longer at middle parts of station because the soil physique at
those parts is weak. An establishment method of diaphragm wall can be
seen in Appendix. Also for holding the water pressure, Sea wall was made
by drop hammers.
After diaphragm walls, jet grouts had been done in order to make
soil of the middle part of station at lower attitudes stronger because the
middle part soil contains weak materials like as clay and inorganic
materials. Jet grout making system can be seen in Appendix. Jet grout is
the pumping concrete to located points with high pressure about 400 bars.
As the excavation continues, in order to prevent deflections to the inner
parts diaphragm walls were supported by holding beams and these beams
were also supported by struts (longitudinal beams). These beams were
made of C35 concrete and as the structure is done from downward to
upward these beams will be cut by hydraulic cutters. Choosing concrete
rather than steel is that if steel was used usage area of station during
construction will be less than concrete has. Also in order to prevent under
ground water, Drainage pipes had been done. These drainage pipes were
covered by gravels in order to prevent being congested of pipes.
Discussion:
Every construction side can include many dangerous things so in
order to minimize these effects all actions must be taken. Gama – Nurol
Company gives much importance on this issue which is really important
for all people. For engineering part in order to find best way is impossible
but for finding the best solution all kind of solutions must be known and if
not one has not any solution about its issue one must be perform
reasonable and logical solutions.

Second Week of Summer Practice and its Discussion:
At the second week, the excavation was continued but also a
problem was continued. As the excavation was being continued, the
Ottoman soup kitchen was also being settled because of the passive
pressure of soil at there. The Ottoman soup kitchen was investigated by
laser measurements and cartographers. Laser system at there works with
absolute and temporary reference points. The absolute points, where are
assumed not settled points, are at a mosque in Üsküdar. Also the
cartographers were measured the cracks by crack measurement
instruments. In order to prevent the settlement of Ottoman soup kitchen,
a kind of cement mixture was injected to bottom of the kitchen in order to
make bottom of kitchen harden.
Also diaphragm walls were moved to each others. In order to
measure these movements inclinometers were used. Inclinometer are
measurements which can measure the movements at x and y axis. Also
the water pressure at the station was being measured by piezometers. In
order to measure the movements between diaphragm walls, there are
instruments in struts and with these instruments one can get
temperature, micro strain, frequency, micro head measurements. These
measurements were sent to central office every day for checking the act
of the diaphragm walls and struts. Also the extensometer readings were
taken every day.
For preventing water coming from diaphragm walls a chemical
mixture (Carbo stop 400) was injected every day. This mixture was
affected by an accelerator in order to increase the effect of mixture. This
mixture has a property to be widened with water.
For preventing the water coming from bottom side of east and west
side of the station, there was spread out gravel to make surface
permeable. Then with the permeable surface the water can be pulled out
easily with drainage pumps. This gravel must be compacted for making
the ground smooth and close the spaces of ground.
Discussion:
A structure can have many properties and to understand the
structure data collection is so important. With proper data an engineer can
find right solution about any problem. For watching construction effects on
structures one must have proper instruments. I understood that data
collection is so important in order to give decisions and making
calculations. Data are not important for designing the projects also doing
extra works which can be caused by anything. Data is the one of most
necessary thing in engineering structures.

Third Week of Summer Practice and its Discussion:
The excavation for foundation level was continued. For foundation
concrete, in order to increase its strength cooling system was established.
At summer times, the temperature is high so in order to decrease the heat
effect of concrete (heat of hydration of concrete) company had been
established cooling system. This system will be used in summer times
after the month of September this system will not be used.
At Sirkeci station, there is one escape and two aeration shafts for
European side. There is archeological excavation at platform place of
Sirkeci station. At the shaft there are banding beams for holding the soil.
At the shafts, the beams were hold by anchorages rather than diaphragm
walls because the shafts are inside of the Eminönü peninsula but the
approaching platform was also made by diaphragm walls.
At the Yenikapı station, a huge archeological excavation was
continued. Yenikapı station will be also a transfer point to other railways
so the region is huge and also with the excavation many archeological
things were found. Some of the archeological inventions can be seen in
Appendix. Yenikapı station is the concrete testing site for European side of
Marmaray. At the laboratory, the tests of slump, air flow, density,
temperature, sieve analysis, humidity and air void are made. At the
Yenikapı station, during the taking off the anchorages of the walls a
cement mixture is used and the taking off procedure is completed with
five phase (for 19 meter long anchorage). The struts of Yenikapı were
made of steel rather than concrete because the platform is smaller than
Üsküdar station.
At the Yedikule station, the last preparations were done for EPC
TBM. Yedikule station was worked for a few meters. Because of the Fatih –
Yedikule region the TBM can not work.
At the Ayrılıkçeşme station, there will be a viaduct which will be
bound with the side road. In order to build footings of the viaduct, we
have to change the water, waste water, electric, gas alignment because
the positions of the footings are intersecting with these pipes.
At the Üsküdar station, there were made temporary foundations for
TBMs’ which came from the Ayrılıkçeşme site. TBM’s attitude is longer
than the space between bottom and the 5th level of strut. This foundation
will carry these TBMs. Also the diaphragm wall was cut for making
sprouts. The idea of making sprouts is to bind the temporary foundation
with the diaphragm wall and make there as one system because while the
TBM passing from here it will make movements to x and y axis so in order
to prevent this effect the sprouts had made by chemical anchorages and
then the temporary foundation was done.
Discussion:
Before starting any project all possible obstructions must be
thought because in order to get profit by your job. Yenikapı station is the
first archeological excavation work which works also at night but this
happens only a few months before. If this archeological excavation
continues all time at past, maybe the project can be finished earlier.
Bureaucracy must be lowered as much as possible in order to finish this
kind of jobs.

Fourth Week of Summer Practice and its Discussion:
At the second part of my internship, most of the excavation work
was finished but the Ottoman soup kitchen soil could not take because of
settlement of this building. The temporary foundations of TBM for both
east and west side were completed. In order to prevent water from the
permanent foundation, there was spread out felt and membrane between
two concrete blocks. First the felt was spread out then the membrane and
then the felt was again up of the membrane. Being impervious is provided
by membrane, the felt is used for protection of the membrane because the
membrane can be affected little non smooth things. After the spreading
out of both felt and membrane, there was spilled out protection concrete.
The placing of reinforcement was made up of this protection concrete.
Diaphragm walls were cleaned because not to affect membrane with non-
smooth part of itself.
The surroundings of kingpost were furnished with water
hindrances. These hindrances will not prevent water coming but these will
cause to lengthen the way of water.
At the Ayrılıkçeşme station, TBM was been continued to excavate
soil between Ayrılıkçeşme and Üsküdar. Slurry TBM works with bentonite.
The front side of TBM has many gears for excavating soil and cracking
rocks. Bentonite is used for carrying soil with pipes. Clean bentonite is
pumped to in front of TBM and waste bentonite is pulled back by pumps.
Bentonite can be used many times if the bentonite passes three tests.
These tests are density, sand content and viscosity. EPC TBM has only one
difference by carrying the soil. Soil at EPC TBM is carried by wagon-lit. The
choosing facts of TBM for this project are these: TBM machines can work
under the effect of under ground water pressure; work at both weak and
harden soil type; to provide less settlement which can be caused by small
attitude between the surface and the tunnels; to provide secure, fast, and
TBMs can connect easily with immersed tubes. At every 200 meters TBM
tunnels have emergency passages.
Before the Üsküdar and also the Sirkeci station, there is a switch
tunnel for trains switching to other railway. These tunnel were made by
NATM because TBM has stable diameter for making but at switch point
both tunnel must be excavated. At the Üsküdar station, the membrane
which is covered upper part of felt was checked by barometers in order to
find holes at the membrane. If the barometer was measured less than we
give as 2-2,5 bars , that means there is hole on the membrane. All the
holes must be closed in order to prevent water entrance into the
structure. Cooling system was also checked for concrete spilling because if
pipes have holes this can provide improper concrete because C40 concrete
must not include during its spilling time.
Discussion:
All works has many detail but what it is said work is hidden in
details. Controlling has importance at building work. Standards can be
called as laws of engineers. At site, every work has many standards. To
get the quality what engineers must obey the standards. To have
standards is decline the errors of constructing.

Fifth Week of Summer Practice and its Discussion:
At the Üsküdar station, the diaphragm walls were plastered in
order to prevent making holes on the membrane after cracking the big
rocks on diaphragm wall.
At the last works before spilling the concrete were establishing
cooling pipes and form work for part 4. The last check was done for
cooling system before the spilling of concrete. Also quality engineers put
temperature measurements into the part 4 for learning that the cooling
system is efficient or not.
During spilling of concrete quality engineers took sample from all
transmixers before spilling and during spilling in order to find efficiency of
pumps, concrete establishments.
After the spilling concrete was covered by nylon and a special
plastic, these will provide watering of concrete by evaporation of first
watering. The vapor of water is staying inside the nylon so watering will
be done for once but concrete will watering every time.
E2 immersed tube was placed to its place in the immersed tunnel
alignment. The tunnels at the bosphrous are made by ITM. Installation of
each tunnel element will be controlled with several monitoring systems by
GPS. The condition of seabed and surroundings will be monitored by
multi-beam. The relative location with adjacent element which is
previously installed will be measured by ultrasonic waves. Before the
placing of immersed tunnel the seabed of immersed tunnel place is
cleaned. While the joining of two immersed tunnels, hydraulic pressure is
used. Before joining, the uninstalled immersed tunnel is placed near of the
installed tunnel. Then the nose of the rubber gina gasket (a material that
is like caoutchouc which came from Japanese). After the becoming small
of the gina gasket, the pumping out of seawater which is trapped between
elements. The gina gasket is being compressed by unbalanced hydrostatic
pressure. After the installing of immersed tunnel, upper parts of them are
covered by protection and backfill material. The connection between TBM
and immersed tunnel will provided by special holsters which E11 and E1
have at the entrances of themselves. TBM will cut there in order to
connect immersed tunnel and the last segment will be itself covering. By
the way, the TBM tunnel segments have seven elements. Six of them are
same, one is the key segment (can be called as key rock) which is the last
placed segment and also provides the bounding of segments.
The beginning and ending parts of the immersed tunnel has seismic
joint after any earthquake these joints will remove the effect of
earthquake on the immersed tunnel.
At last with installing E3, the world record was broken with
immersed tunnel placing.
Discussion:
In order to manufacture big projects like Marmaray, one must have high
technology for all engineering applications like as controlling, constructing.
Constructing with high technology provides high standards by all points of
view.

Interview with my supervisor (site supervisor)
Tolga Okumuş: How many years did you study as an engineer and
what were your jobs?
Cenk Ergi: With this year, I will be work as engineer for 10 years. All
my jobs were about railway, metro design and construction.
T.O: During this cut and cover Üsküdar station working did you have
any experiences?
C.E: Actually this station is very useful for getting many structural
experiences. But the most existing experience that I get from this
station is Ottoman kitchen soup kitchen because I, we, actually no one
were waiting any problem like we have now. As you see site is a
controlling job which is difficult but can be done. However, to solve a
problem that no one has any solution is really hard. At site an engineer
must use every worker properly and must know and have plans about
every thing that will happen at the site.
T.O: Do you have any advises about for university about civil
engineering education?
C.E: Civil engineering can really be learnt at the site but while getting
education your instructors could teach theories at the site because
seeing is much more effective get reading.
T.O: Thank you so much.
Conclusion
The meaning of summer practice is to show what the real civil
engineer is. I understood being engineer means having huge
responsibility to your company and more important one to humanity.
Theories which we learn at school are for being an engineer but at site
you actually need more than theories. At the construction site, an
engineer not only interested with workers but also he or she must be
interested with people, jobs, and owners. Thus an engineer must have
good human relations. We have to control every detail because our job
does not support any mistakes. And we can decline our mistakes with
many site experiences. For doing every job one must approach to the
problem so basic and must solve problem with reasonable and logical
solutions. As Einstein is said “Make things as simple as possible but not
much”. Every solution that I see during my internship was so basic but
has logical meaning.
