Izmit Bay Crossing

Client: Capita Symonds

Location:  Turkey

Year completed:  2011

Services:  Technical advisor

We provided specialist advice on the approximately 400km long Gebza-Orhangazi-Izmir Motorway BOT Project. The project consisted of suspension bridge with a main span of approximately 1,500m, an overall length of approximately 3,000m and a major approach viaduct, the southern approach viaduct, approximately 1,400m in length. The southern approach viaduct alignment crosses several strands of the North Anatolian fault.

We advised on the review of the design, construction methodology, and on the operational and maintenance aspects of the suspension bridge and the southern approach viaduct. As part of Lenders’ Technical Advisory team, we worked closely with Lenders, the sponsors, their advisors and contractors to assist a financial close on the project.
