In some sense, Turkey strongly “lucky” because any bridge over the Bosphorus automatically converted into tourist attraction, linking between a Europe and Asia.
Came turn and another one similar significant infrastructure construction – through passage Dardanelless being transferred new bridge, which connects between a European and the Asian part of Turkey.
At the time, as the Turkish government is undertaking an ambitious investment program in the field of infrastructure, some parts of the country are converted into new megaton and bridges. Bridge Çanakkale 1915 the year – is one of such projects. The record for the length of the span bridge built in Turkey through the Strait of Dardanelles, the project plan to be completed by the 100th anniversary of the Turkish Republic of 2023 year.
A huge suspension bridge is being formed near the cities of Lapseki in Asia and Gelibolu in Europe, about 10 km south of the Sea of Marmara. Naturally, that the building is positioned as a global object, which allows to improve transport communication between the continents.
Its name the most important infrastructural facility received after winning the naval forces of Turkey in 1915 year at the time of the First World War. Some of the main characteristics of the project:
Construction is scheduled to 2017-2023 years and has been successfully completed by the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Turkish Republic.
the total length of the bridge is 3.7 km, the width is 43 m, the height of the two towersis 318 m.
It is the longest in the world, the central span – 2023 meters; total project budget $ 2.8 billion.
The carriageway of the bridge will consist of six lanes: three in each direction. At the present day the construction is carried out exactly according to schedule and in May 2020 the year was officially established last steel block on the high-rise tower bridge. The ceremony was broadcast by the main Turkish TV channels. The President of Turkey, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, was present at this important event in the mode of on-line video conferencing.
“By building the Canakkale 1915 Bridge, Turkey will fulfill its age-old dream. This bridge, with the longest central span in the world, will decorate the strait as a symbol of our victory in Canakkale in 2015,” Erdogan said. The country’s existing transport network is no longer able to cope with the growth in traffic, and the marked increase in transit, tourism and agriculture in Turkey has led to chronic traffic jams. To solve these problems, the government of the country announced the implementation of the Vision 2023 program, which is aimed at increasing the throughput of road, rail and sea transport.
The most complex engineering and technical structure is being built with the help of specialists from many countries – Turkey, Great Britain, Australia, South Korea, the Netherlands, and others. The height of the two main pylons, 318 meters, is comparable to ” ordinary ” skyscrapers.
Consortium in the composition of the four companies will operate the bridge in 16 years after completion of construction, and then the building will be transferred to the control of the Turkish government. In accordance with the calculations, the new bridge ” Canakkale 1915″ will provide direct access from Europe to the south-western part of Turkey, and significantly reduce congestion in the Drogo Istanbul.
The suspension bridge is being built in the northwestern Turkish province of Canakkale and will serve the 320 km Kinali-Tekirdag-Canakkale-Balikesir highway, which, once completed, will connect the Anatolian Peninsula and Eastern Thrace. At the present time, this trip requires a 30-minute trip on the ferry, but as the only bridge will be on the spot, it will be reduced to a short trip just for 10 minutes. At the under-construction bridge is the longest in the world, the central span – 2023 meters This figure again is not accidental, it is reminiscent of the ” Project of Turkey 2023″, which is aimed at the entry of the country in the top ten world economic powers.
Çanakkale 1915 will be the most long in the world hanging bridge, ahead of the Japanese Bridge Akashi Kaikyo 32 meters. Its full length, including access roads, extends up to 4608 meters. For the construction of the Canakkale Bridge, 128,000 tons of steel are involved. Using steel elements of the bridge are a strategic partnership between Turkish and South Korean suppliers, wherein Turkish company agreed delivery 35,000 tons of heavy steel sheet of tower structures, cable systems and road coatings. Partnership also supplies 52,000 tons of steel plate to deck of the bridge, and 41, 000 tons of steel wire rod for system suspension, which is its support.
Within the framework of the contract ” Chimtash Steel ” will carry out the procurement of materials, manufacturing of panels, blocks, trial assembly and delivery to the construction ite of 146 units of the tower a total weight of 36,000 tons and the total height of the tower 318 meters Unusually, that Çanakkale started as a project of ” design-build “. Typically, for bridge construction, design is completed before the selection of contractors and suppliers. However, for this project, construction and design are carried out simultaneously and coordination between the architect and contractors is required from the outset. This record steel hanging bridge represents an investment in the amount of 3 Blin. Rec. United
States will have a decisive importance for the transport systems of the region with a socio-economic effect for the whole of Turkey and Eastern Europe. M he international team, which includes Australians, Turks, Koreans, Dutch, Japanese, Iranians, Filipinos and British, working together under the strict limitations COVID-19.
The Australian company is on the production of cranes in March Contracting has completed an unprecedented earlier engineering achievement, raising the tower crane lifting capacity of 330 tons, fully assembled on -site, to help in the construction of the longest in the world suspension bridge in Turkey.
The unprecedented rise allowed to see the marker M2480D company Marr is, which is at 600 tons weighs greater, than the A380, raised in a single unit – the first time such a valve size has been raised in an assembled form. After being dispatched from Sydney in parts to dry dock in Gallipoli, two Marr 2480D cranes were assembled onshore on purpose- built foundations. 3 November first M2480D was raised and transported to a kilometer to the middle Dardenell (Strait Canakkale) with the help of floating heavy barge crane, load which is 2200 tons. The second crane was raised on the water 8 November, and now the two-crane mounted and ready to start work on the bridge of Çanakkale 1915 the year.
The first in the world’s maneuver is the first of many engineering achievements, in which will involve tower cranes Marra during the time of construction of the bridge. When lifting M2480D crane at a height of 328 meters above the water, it took about 30 minutes, to lift the 155-ton parts stop transverse beam on its position of 318 meters above the level of the sea. Installation of the central section on the Asian side of the Strait of Çanakkale completed an important milestone in the construction of the bridge, and the rise took place in the midnight to Sunday 7 June 2020 the year. The European side was completed 24 hours later with the final tsentrepezhami, installed on both sides of the bridge to the final height of 318 meters in the Monday 8 June 2020 the year.
Cranes Marr is M2480D with lifting capacity up to 330 tons (approximately the same weight, that and 26 double-decker buses) are revolutionizing the way to the construction of bridges, picking up a heavy modular component instead of the more traditional approach lift more small components – one after the other and then welding on site. M2480D is the only crane in the world, which can lift large components, which form the two bridge towers height of 318 m.
Erdogan expressed his confidence in the fact that the political and economic changes, which will undergo the world on the background of a pandemic coronavirus, will enable Turkey to strengthen its position in the international arena. One of the advantageous differences of our country will be the development of the transport infrastructure, the Turkish leader stated.
