After completion of the Sabiha Gökçen International Airport master plan and feasibility study, Arup has been appointed as preliminary designer for the Sabiha Gökçen Airport Second Runway by Undersecreteriat for Defence Industries.
The runway will be 3,500 metres long and will be built on a major earthfill structure with under passing roads, rivers and utility lines. Although the site was topographically challenging, Arup managed to find a solution with the help of 25 million m3 earthworks under the runway. The project also included a 115 metre high air traffic control tower and midfield zones.
