The infrastructure renewal and ground reinforcement works carried out by the Istanbul Water and Sewerage Administration (İSKİ) on Bakırköy Kırserdar Street have been completed. After a long period of work, the street was opened to vehicle and pedestrian traffic as of April 14, 2025.
Works Conducted Within the Scope of Ataköy – Küçükçekmece Wastewater Tunnel Project
The Ataköy – Küçükçekmece Wastewater Tunnel Project, implemented by İSKİ, aims to transform the existing old infrastructure systems in the region into a modern and more efficient structure. This comprehensive project aims to contribute to environmental sustainability by improving the wastewater management of the region.
Reinforcement Made Due to Sensitive Ground in Kırserdar Street
During the tunnel excavation works initiated on Kırserdar Street within the scope of the project, it was determined that the route had a more sensitive ground structure than expected. This situation required additional precautions to be taken in order for the excavation works to proceed safely. In this direction, İSKİ teams meticulously carried out comprehensive ground improvement and reinforcement applications.
Infrastructure Renewed, Street Paved and Opened
The ground reinforcement works were carried out simultaneously with the renovation of the existing infrastructure systems in the region. Old and inadequate infrastructure pipes were replaced with modern and durable systems. After the completion of the works, asphalting operations were carried out on the street and Kırserdar Street was reopened to vehicle and pedestrian traffic on April 14, 2025. This development was welcomed by the residents and drivers of the region.
Tunnel Construction Progresses Rapidly with TBM
The tunnel, built within the scope of the Ataköy – Küçükçekmece Wastewater Tunnel Project, will have an inner diameter of 3.600 mm and a total length of 8.620 meters. Tunnel excavation operations are carried out quickly and safely using the latest technology TBM (Tunnel Boring Machine). A significant distance of 5.670 meters has been covered in the project to date. With the completion of the tunnel, it is aimed to prevent environmental pollution by directly transporting wastewater in the region to advanced biological treatment facilities.
