Eight new LOVSUNS EPB-TBMs for Metro Tunnels in Istanbul. There is a huge demand on TBM Tunnelling in Turkey. Istanbul is one of the most vibrant Metropol Citys of the world, connecting the European with the Asian Continent. With more than 14 Million residents, solutions for urban transportation are urgently needed and building tunnels with Tunnel Boring Machines is the first choice. After first prosperous projects for wastewater and Metro tunnels the Canadian-Chinese LOVSUNS Tunneling Canada Ltd. is again successful to deliver eight more Tunnel Boring Machines for two Metro Line projects in Istanbul.
The whole Metro and urban transportation system in Istanbul comprises more than 230 km in operation and additional around 30 to 40 km under construction. In 2017 there is a demand for more than 20 Tunnel Boring Machines for the extension of the Metro tunnel system on the European and Asian side of Istanbul. LOVSUNS won the order for eight more Earth Pressure Balance (EPB) TBMs for the Alarko-Cengiz and the Makyol/Ictas/Kalyon/Astor joint ventures.
