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.
