Çanakkale Bridge
Çanakkale, Turkey
Since delivering an engineering solution for the monumental Çanakkale 1915 Bridge, Doka Turkey has continued its work on this record-breaking project as it takes another step towards its scheduled completion, in time for the country’s centennial in 2023.
With a clear brief from the client, Doka Turkey conceived an optimal solution within the scope of time available to deliver a formwork solution to cover the anchorage blocks, approach viaducts and the viaducts themselves. For the approach viaducts, a ‘push and slide’ method was used by incorporating two separate, prefabricated bridge moulds of 38 metres, with a total area of 3,500m2.
Doka provided us with a high-level of support between construction sites; something that was particularly useful when addressing some of the unique and complex challenges incolved.
