Taksim-Kabataş Funicular System Construction is a public transportation system construction that will provide the connection between the Taksim Station of the Istanbul Metro Taksim - 4th Levent line, which was previously put into operation, and the ferry quay in Kabataş, an important sea transfer center, and tram transportation.
With this project, integration between Taksim - 4.Levent (Ayazağa-Yenikapı) Metro, Taksim - Tünel Nostalgic Tram, Taksim Bus and Dolmus Stations, Zeytinburnu - Fındıklı (Kabataş-Bağcılar) Tram, Kabataş İDO ferry, the ferry and fast ferry quay which are currently in service, has been ensured, allowing Istanbul residents to access the Taksim Metro and areas where sea transportation vehicles such as Kabataş / Beşiktaş are used intensively by the rail system. While the new system reduces the traffic load of Gümüşsuyu, it has made Kabataş, where the ferry and fast ferry quay, bus line and tram line intersect, an important transfer center.
Taksim - Kabataş Funicular System is a special railed system solution that allows passenger cabins interconnected by ropes to climb along a railway track laid on a steep sloop. In accordance with the working principle of the funicular system, there is a height difference of around 80 m between the start and end points of the tunnel, which is approximately 450 m long. The excavation of all the tunnels covered by the project, the manufacture of the inner lining concrete and injection were realised by our company, and the project is important as the tunnel excavation and final coating works were carried out at an inclination of 23% (maximum).
