Abstract
Ordu Giresun Airport is the first airport of Turkey that is completely built on a sea fill area situated at the Black sea coast of Turkey and at equal distances to Ordu and Giresun cities. The reclamation covers 1.6 million m2 area that is surrounded with a total of 8.6 km revetment. The longest part of the revetment which is in parallel with the shoreline and at the offshore side of the reclamation area, is planned as a berm type revetment. In this sense, the preliminary cross section provided at the tender stage is checked, modifications are performed considering several criteria such as economics, performance, availability of rocks, etc. In addition to the design stages, several cross sections together with the suggested modifications are checked with laboratory tests. This paper covers the design stages where this criteria is taken into account, laboratory tests and the performance of the cross section during construction stages.
Highlights
Ordu Giresun Airport is the first airport that is built on reclamation coastal area
Another reason is to reduce the high number of passengers for the existing nearby airports that is especially observed during summer time
In this paper, the design stages of berm type revetment of Ordu Giresun Airport is discussed with specific emphasis on the influence of wind data sets and wind data coordinates on determination of design wave data and the impact of berm elevation, apron width and elevation on the structure stability and wave overtopping
Summary
Ordu Giresun Airport is the first airport that is built on reclamation coastal area. The project site is located at the Black Sea coast of Turkey (Figure 1). It should be noted that the reclamation stages were not finished when the satellite image wass taken. It looks as if some ponds were left unfilled in the general layout. The need to build an airport is an outcome of the high demand from residents of Ordu and Giresun cities in order to reduce their travel time to the nearest airports, which is Samsun Çarşamba Airport for residents of Ordu and Trabzon Airport for residents of Giresun Another reason is to reduce the high number of passengers for the existing nearby airports that is especially observed during summer time. Cengiz İnşaat A.Ş. was awarded the contract after the conclusion of the tender stages and Yüksel Proje Uluslararası A.Ş. was awarded as the designer by Cengiz İnşaat A.Ş
