Vadistanbul Havaray – Revolutionizing Urban Transport in Istanbul
The Vadistanbul Havaray is a pioneering urban transport project, aimed at improving passenger flow between Vadistanbul Shopping Mall and the Seyrantepe Metro Station, with a direct link to Galatasaray's TT Arena Football Stadium. This innovative funicular system stretches 750 meters and includes two stations covering 1,500 m². It stands as Turkey’s first privately funded and operated aerial tram, which transferred to Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality, setting a precedent for future public-private transportation projects in the country.
To meet the growing demands of urban mobility in one of Turkey's busiest districts, the Vadistanbul Havaray project focuses on providing a seamless, efficient, and eco-friendly connection between major commercial and recreational hubs. By integrating reinforced concrete, prefabricated elements, and steel structures, the system represents a significant advancement in transportation infrastructure for the city.
Balans took a leading role in managing this groundbreaking project, collaborating with industry leaders including Tekfen Engineering for static design, BMF Group AG for electromechanical systems and assembly, and Yapıray for rail works. Our comprehensive project management ensured the coordination and execution of various components, from construction to final handover, making sure every aspect of the project was aligned with both technical requirements and the city's needs.
This project not only enhances urban transport but also creates a model for future public-private collaborations in Turkey. By connecting key locations with a fast and sustainable transport solution, Vadistanbul Havaray is poised to become a benchmark in urban infrastructure, providing a blueprint for similar projects in Turkey and beyond.
Vadistanbul Havaray was developed with an emphasis on efficiency, safety, and sustainability. Balans Project Management’s expert team facilitated the planning, coordination, and execution of every phase. From concept to construction, we focused on integrating cutting-edge technologies with urban planning best practices to ensure the project's long-term success and viability.
This groundbreaking transport solution sets a new standard for urban mobility in Istanbul and highlights the power of strategic public-private partnerships in tackling complex infrastructure challenges.
