  • Eurasia Tunnel Istanbul, Turkey
    Connecting Continents: Eurasia Tunnel Istanbul, Turkey The Eurasia Tunnel connects the European section of Istanbul in Kumkapi with the Asian section in Kosuyolu. The 5 km tunnel is an engineering marvel, with its double-deck construction that crosses the Bosphorus Strait undersea, reaching a maximum depth of 106 m. Tunnel segment The tunnel decreases the travel time compared to the Bosphorus Bridge from about 100 minutes to 15 minutes, and reduces the traffic load on streets in Istanbul. The operators selected 2 AP Sensing Linear Heat Series devices, each with 4 channel capabilities, to establish a completely redundant installation to monitor 3 decks within the tunnel (2 for cars, 1 for power cables). Tunnel cross section The fiber-optic sensor cable selected has an FRNC outer sheath, which is installed along the tunnel ceiling. The robust AP Sensing “Steel” and “Safety” cables were selected for their fast response times and durable construction. The continuous monitoring data uses the Modbus interface to the local SCADA control system. The outside diameter of the tube is 13.2 m, with a total length of 5000 m, reaching a maximum subsea depth of 106 m. Cross Section Tunnel route crossing the Bosphorus strait Why is the fiber optic system so much faster and more precise? Electrical bus systems (also called ‘point systems’) use a sensor cable with a diameter that is ca. 5x greater than the fiber optic solution. This results in a total mass that is 30x greater than the fiber. This results in a much slower response time. Fiber Bus system 4 mm ca.

    LOADTEST O-Cell® Test on a Preliminary Test Barrette at Istanbul Strait Road (Eurasia Tunnel) Project, Istanbul / Turkey Project: The Eurasia Tunnel Project is the construction of a 14.6 km road link between Kazlıçeşme and Göztepe regions in Istanbul, Turkey, including a 5.4 km tunnel, that is being undertaken to address Istanbul's increasing traffic problems. The project is expected to reduce the travel time between Kazlıçeşme and Göztepe from 100 minutes to just 15 minutes. The twin- deck tunnel will be built underneath the seabed of the Bosphorus, also known as Project overview the Istanbul Strait. Construction of barrette type load carrying deep foundations is required at the top-down section of the Yanikapi underpass. The project’s participants are the General Directorate of Infrastructure Investments representing the Ministry of Transportation, Maritime and Communication as the administrator, Eurasia Tunnel Operation, Construction and Investment Inc. as appointed Typical cross-section of the tunnel company, and Yapı Merkezi İnşaat ve Sanayi A.Ş, SK Engineering & Construction Co. Ltd Joint Venture as the Contractor. Testing Arrangement: A nominal 2800 x 1000 mm, 29.60 m deep test barrette was constructed with a hydrofraise by Kasktaş A.Ş. - a subcontracting company specialised in construction of deep foundations. A single level, O-cell bi-directional loading Tremie Pipe access past O-cell elevation arrangement with two 430 mm O-cells with a total rated capacity of 25.0 MN was utilised for the preliminary load test. The test was designed by the Contractor to validate the geotechncial parameters and determine the foundation’s behaviour under load in the Yenikapı area.
