Third Bosphorus Bridge
Overview
Gemak Group has been contracted as the sub-contractor of Hyundai Engineering & Steel Industries to construct the steel deck of 3rd Bosphorus Bridge (approx. 48.000 tons of steel construction) which is integrated with North Marmara Motorway. Concurrently with the start of this project, works on shaping 120.000 square meters of land in Altinova next to sea side into new fabrication yard started.
Massive construction process of 59 individual segments, each approx 830 metric tons, is currently being undertaken: steel cutting, bevelling,
pre-fabrication, panel fabrication and segment fabrication & coating. Upon completion of segment fabrication, segments are being transported to erection site in Bosphorus, using a DP system equipped deck cargo ship NETA converted by Gemak, as a tailor made vessel built specifically for this project.
