Drilling and filling works have started on the seabed for the new airport to be built in the north of the existing airport in Trabzon. 97 million tons of filling material will be used in the project with an investment cost of approximately 48.2 billion lira. The construction, which is planned to be carried out in three stages, is expected to be completed in approximately 7 years.
97 MILLION TONS WILL BE FILLED ON THE SEA
The new airport, which is aimed to increase Trabzon's air transportation capacity, will be built on the sea embankment. In the first phase of the project, the properties of the ground will be determined by drilling on the seabed. Then, with filling works, the area where the main sections such as runway, taxiways, apron and terminal will be established will be created.
Approximately 97 million tons of filling material will be used within the scope of the project. In addition, a 6 thousand meter long protective breakwater will be built against impacts that may come from the sea.
Following the work to be carried out on the sea side of the existing airport, the main infrastructure of the new facility will be created. The project also plans to carry out approximately 13 million tons of excavation to bring the elevation of the existing airport to the new filling level.
