It was the year of the giant project 2016: 2016 year was recorded as the year of entry into service of the giant project for Turkey. Osmangazi Bridge, Yavuz Sultan Selim Bridge, Eurasia Tunnel and Ilgaz Tunnel were opened this year.
In Turkey, this year, the size and technology of the investment budget was taken so eagerly anticipated services giant projects.
Yavuz Sultan Selim Bridge, the widest in the world, the Eurasia Tunnel that connects the two sides by road under the sea, and the Osman Gazi Bridge, built within the scope of the Gebze-Izmir Highway Project, which reduces the transportation time between Istanbul and Izmir from 9 hours to 3,5 hours, is put into service Ilgaz July 15 İstiklal Tunnel was put into service yesterday.
An important part of the transportation projects offered to the service is among the largest in the world.
Incorporating many firsts Osmangazi Bridge service to be taken, not only in Turkey, have been waiting impatiently in the world. It became the 252th largest in the world with a tower height of 35,93 meters, a deck width of 550 meters, a middle span of 2 meters and a total length of 682 meters. The bridge, which has been shown as an example in terms of saving time and fuel, was opened with a ceremony attended by President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and Prime Minister Binali Yıldırım on 4 June. The bridge reduced the distance from 30 hours around the Gulf to 2 minutes.
THE NEW PEARL OF THE BOSPHORUS YAVUZ SULTAN SELIM BRIDGE
Yavuz Sultan Selim Bridge, the third pearl of the Bosphorus, also has an important place in world engineering history with its many features. The bridge, which is the widest suspension bridge in the world with a width of 59 meters, reaches a total length of 408 meters with a main span of 2 meters and side spans. In this respect, Yavuz Sultan Selim Bridge, the longest suspension bridge in the world with a rail system, was put into service on 164 August.
SECOND REVOLUTION UNDER THE SEA
EURASIA TUBE TRANSITION
The Eurasia Tube Crossing was built 106 meters below the sea. The first project in the world, built at the deepest sea level, is 14,6 kilometers long, and 3,4 kilometers of it passes under the sea with a tunnel. The Eurasia Tube Crossing, seen as Marmaray's brother, was put into service on December 20.
ILGAS MOUNTAINING TUNNEL THROUGH THE ROAD
After the first excavation was hit in 2012, the tunnel, which was built by traveling hundreds of meters underground and bringing the 875 meters high Ilgaz Mountain to its knees, was put into service yesterday.
The entrances and exits of the tunnel, which will connect Central Anatolia to the Western Black Sea, were projected as "shark mouths". With the tunnel, one of which is 5 thousand 370 and the other is 5 thousand 391 meters, it is aimed to provide faster and safer transportation in Ilgaz Mountain, which has come to the fore with traffic accidents especially in winter.
After the tunnel is opened, the length of the Ilgaz Mountain road, which is 16,8 kilometers, will be shortened by 5,4 kilometers and reduced to 11,4 kilometers. The crossing time of the Ilgaz Mountain road, which was exceeded in approximately 35 minutes when there were no problems on the road, decreased to 8 minutes. The tunnel, which ranks 3rd among the tunnels whose projects have been prepared, when it was started to be used, it became the "longest tunnel open to traffic".
Tunneled 345 thousand 655 hours in the average travel time per year, fuel consumption in the 8 million 300 thousand liters is expected to save. The contribution of the tunnel to the economy is estimated to be 38 million 200 thousand liras.
EXPLORATION AND OBSERVATION SATELLITE GÖKTÜRK-1
The assembly and integration activities of the Göktürk-1 Satellite, which will meet the satellite image needs of the TSK for target intelligence, were carried out by the project contractor Telespazio (Italy) -Thales Alenia Space (France) in the facilities in Cannes, France.
TAI Raiders campus is located in Turkey's first Space Systems Integration and Test (uset) satellite made environmental tests at the Center, the Koruo in French Guiana for launch to orbit was sent to the Launch Center. Satellite, was launched into space in Turkey clock 5:16.51 XNUMX December.
Around one 90 per minute around the world at a time that the satellite, 60 a thousand images per year is envisaged.
In the transport sector in Turkey is taken into the service of the giant project, also passed a new mobile communications technology. 3G technology, which is 10 times faster than 4,5G, started to be used in mobile communication as of April 1.
