  • Marmaray Tunnel Under the Sea: Public Safety, Cellular and GSMR Coverage in the Marmaray Tunnel
    Cobham Wireless Case Study Marmaray tunnel Under the sea: public safety, cellular and GSMR Coverage in the Marmaray Tunnel Overview The project involved providing public safety, cellular and GSM-R connectivity for the Marmaray underground tunnel, a 13.6km long section of the Marmaray rail project. The tunnel connects Europe to Asia via an undersea tunnel crossing the Bosphorus strait. It is of significant strategic importance to Turkey, so a solution was required which would deliver reliable connectivity to the rail operator, the emergency services and commuters.

  • Marmaray Tunnel Demonstrates Intergeo Eurasia's Topics in Practice
    NEWS Marmaray Tunnel Demonstrates Intergeo Eurasia's Topics in Practice The Marmaray Tunnel in Istanbul, Turkey, opened on 29 October, six months before the start of two key industry trade shows: Seismic Safety and Intergeo Eurasia. Described locally as the "project of the century", the tunnel connects the European and the Asian parts of the city. The spectacular tunnel is a perfect example of the city's commitment to an earthquake-resistant future and of the relevance of both trade events' topics to this and other projects. Seismic Safety and Intergeo Eurasia showcase solutions that pertain to buildings and urban structures and deal with topics including earthquake resistance, fire protection and urban renewal combined with the necessary measuring and testing systems and geo-data concepts. The 13.6-kilometre-long tunnel, which was officially opened in time for the 90th anniversary of the founding of the Turkish Republic, should considerably relieve traffic congestion in the metropolis of 15 million people. Plans call for expansion of the Marmaray line to 77 kilometres. During the next three years, the line will also be integrated into Istanbul's metro network. The central element of the new tunnel is a 1.4-kilometre-long double tube that connects the European and Asian continents with one another. Made of special-purpose concrete, the tunnel is nestled on the ocean floor at a depth of nearly 60 metres. The tunnel's builders ensure that it can even withstand an earthquake with a magnitude of 9. As a result, the tunnel is protected again earthquakes better than most of Istanbul's high-rise buildings.
