Overview of the Osman Gazi Bridge, Turkey
IHI constructed a 2,682 meter-long suspension bridge whose center span is the fourth-longest in the world. The bridge is in a snowy region. It’s a part of the 420 km-long Gebze-Orhangazi-Izmir Project that was carried out as a build-operate-transfer project linking Istanbul, the most populous city in Turkey, to ?zmir, the third-most populous city in Turkey.
The build-operate-transfer project was awarded to Nomayg JV, a joint venture of six companies, including construction companies from Turkey and Italy. Under the project, a consortium of IHI Infrastructure Systems Co., Ltd. (a subsidiary of IHI Corporation) and Itochu Corporation completed construction of the Osman Gazi Bridge. We completed this suspension bridge in just 42 months.
Snow removal machinery
Our snow-removal machinery technology, the product of more than four decades of experience, has been contributing to transportation and lifestyles in snowy regions. Niigata Transys Co., Ltd, an IHI group company, is highly acclaimed for the trustworthy technologies it has developed as a long-standing snow removal machinery manufacturer. Its products range widely, from a small machine with a cabin for one operator to a large-scale, 800-horsepower airport snow remover.
Detecting obstacles at railroad crossings using 3D laser radar
Regardless of weather and sunlight availability, our railroad crossing obstacle detection system, which uses 3D laser radar, boasts high detection rates, securing safety at railroad crossings.
The system’s detection rate is high and stable, even in the snow and rain, as well as in the evening with little artificial lighting. The system is attached to a post near the railway tracks. Because it’s installed outside the construction limits of the railway, the system is easy to install and maintain. If the railroad crossing is expanded after the system is installed, only the parameters need to be changed.
Instead of using radio waves, it uses light. The system is safe for people and doesn’t affect electronic devices.
