Marmaray Archaeological Excavations

Marmaray Project covers a transtportation line of a total length of 76.3 kilometers from Gebze to Halkalı. The part from Ayrılıkçeşme to Kazlıçeşme, with a length of 13.6 kilometers, consists of 1,387 meters of immersed tube tunnels, and 12,213 meters of bored tunnels and cut-and-cover tunnels. Our firm has accomplished the archaeological excavations in the Yenikapı, Sirkeci and Üsküdar station sites within the 13.6 kilometers of Railway Bosphorus Tube Crossing Tunnels and Stations construction works of the Marmaray Project from 2007 to 2012, after the completion of which the actual project works were realized and the facilities became operational on 29th October, 2013. Our firm also classified and inventoried the finds from the excavations in 2013 and 2014, contributing to the unearthing of valuable information that will shed light on our history.
