The Marmaray Project
The Challenges of the Project
The Deepest Immersed Tunnel in the World (~58 m)
An expected seismic event of up to magnitude 7.5 (particular emphasis
on IMT connections)
Stations and Tunnels to be constructed in an area where the
civilization can be traced more than 8,000 years.
High Capacity Commuter Rail System with 75,000 pessengers per hour
per direction (particular emphasis on safety of people in the tunnels
and deep stations)
One of the Highest Marine Traffic Areas s in the World (Marine Works to
be carried out in deep waters of the Bosphorus Strait through which
approx. 50.000 ships pass every year and across which a vast number
of ferries and passenger boats)
Marine Works to be performed in the stratified currents of the Strait S
(upper current velocity can reach up to 5 knots)
Densely Populated Urban Environment
A Great Number of Stakeholders
