Kadıköy-Kartal Subway Ayrılıkçeşmesi Station Procurement Construction
Ayrılık Çeşmesi Station of which construction was completed in the scope of the project “Kadıköy-Kartal Subway Ayrılıkçeşmesi Station Procurement Construction” is the second station of Kadıköy-Kartal Subway Line after Kadıköy Station and it is the integration point of Marmaray Line.
All rough construction, fine work and electromechanical works of the station were completed on 29 October 2013 and it was commissioned for operation with passengers along with Marmaray Line. In the scope of this work, following activities were performed;
Fine works of stair tunnels,
Production and fine works of the tunnel that connects two structures at the station and of which location is defined in the architectural project,
Production of rough and fine construction works of station concourse and technical volume structure,
Production of upper concourse bridge deck of Marmaray Ayrılık Çeşmesi Station,
Production of rough and fine construction works of level crossing platform of Marmaray Ayrılık Çeşmesi Station.
It is the largest and most integrated station of the Subway system in the project. A perron floor is included in the concourse structure to be constructed as cut-and-cover, and it is planned to be a common station for light rail system and subway. Besides, the passenger integration with Marmaray station is available. A car park for 482 vehicles is planned to be established next to it.
Total construction site (station and car park) is approximately 59.000 m². The structure of the station was designed to be 20 m below the ground with 3 floors whereas the structure of the car park with a capacity of 482 vehicles was designed to be 12 m underground.
Archaeological excavation, the area of 23.250 m² of which varied between 6-10 m, in a total area of 201.474 m³ has been carried out so far within the duration of 6 years to be able to commence the construction of this station.
