Concrete barriers are produced using the slip form system in the construction of the Courthouse-City Hospital-Stadium tram line by Konya Metropolitan Municipality. Mayor Uğur İbrahim Altay emphasized that the project is one of the most important transportation initiatives in Konya’s history and stated that they have reached a critical stage during the first stage works.
Within the scope of the work, steel slip mold is used in the on-site finisher vehicle for fast and safe barrier production without blocking traffic. This method ensures maximum traffic flow by making the heavy vehicle traffic on the tram route independent of barrier production.
Durability and long life of barriers are at the forefrontMayor Altay stated that the barriers were designed to be long-lasting and durable. While a total of 18 kilometers of barriers were targeted within the scope of the project, 8 kilometers have been completed so far. He said that the remaining 10 kilometers will be completed in approximately two months when the weather conditions are suitable. Noting that the zero slam concrete produced with a special recipe is strengthened by adding special micro fiber fibers, Altay said that these barriers It has a lifespan of approximately 50 yearsHe stated that it was.
Officials stated that Konya will have a much higher level public transportation network when the rail systems are completed, and emphasized that the barriers designed to not get water in winter are resistant to frost.
