Latest situation in Yavuz Sultan Selim Bridge

The final situation on Yavuz Sultan Selim Bridge: After the installation of tower hats, the montage of which was completed on Yavuz Sultan Selim Bridge, 322 meter high bridge towers took their final shape.
3. Bridge and North Marmara Motorway Project IC ICTAS-Astaldi Consortium (ICA) in the statement issued by the last production work on the bridge of the tower (Tower Type Cover) installation was completed.
In the statement, it was stated that the Yavuz Sultan Selim Bridge took the final form of the 322 meter towers.
A total of 176 skewed suspension ropes were assembled on the bridge and the 6 thousand 500 mileage cable drawing was carried out. The following statements were made:
“The tower hat is a 25-meter-high steel construction structure that protects the main cable saddles on the towers against environmental conditions and is also the complementary final building element of the bridge architecture. The total weight of the building is 140 tons. The tower hat consists of 9 parts. These parts were lifted to the top of the towers with the help of tower cranes and their assemblies were done piece by piece. The outer facade of the steel construction structure, which has a height of 25 meters when combined, is covered with specially designed fiber concrete panels. A total of 330 specially produced fiber concrete panels were installed outside the steel construction structure. ”
“VERY SENSITIVE MEASUREMENT WORKS HAVE BEEN REALIZED”
In the statement, the concrete panels and the insulation material between them, have a high resistance to adverse environmental conditions, indicating that the installation of the bridge damper pistons have been completed.
One of the two systems that will carry the bridge, the damper pistons of the oblique suspension ropes, which are placed in the 176 pieces of the suspension of the rope is reported to be prevented in the statement, the following were recorded:
“Dampers are structural elements that absorb and restrict the oscillations that may occur as a result of structural or environmental factors in the curved hanger ropes thanks to the pistons inside them. The damper assemblies were completed in May at the rear openings and in June at the main opening. Dumpers were installed with a team of over 100 people in total. Very sensitive measurement studies were carried out here. Because our tolerance was about 20 millimeters.
In the last part, damper pistons were installed. The damper pistons were attached to the damper and oblique hanger ropes whose resources were exhausted with the help of a working basket crane. Damper pistons are hydraulic pistons that are placed to prevent oscillations arising from structural or environmental factors. In this way, oscillations of a total of 176 slant hanger ropes were prevented. ”
