Urban Transformation
According to Law No. 6306, which entered into force on 31 May 2012; If a report is issued for an old building, which has been approved by the Ministry as “completed its economic life”; Two-thirds majority decisions are no longer made unanimously on issues such as land owners, reconstructing contractors, size of new apartments. In this way, the consent of all owners is not sought for buildings that have completed their economic life, and reconstruction cannot be prevented only by the opposition of one or two apartments or shops.
Consequently, the “unanimity” obstacle in front of the renovation of these buildings, which threaten public health and safety throughout the country and which are also resistant to earthquake, has been removed.
Why are we renovating our buildings in ISTANBUL?
Why do we demolish and renovate our buildings in Istanbul while foreign countries look at their buildings from the past century that are used as residences?
Due to technical developments in the sector, increased audits, higher education levels of employees, new regulations, and above all, against the new Istanbul earthquake, which occurred on August 17, 1999, after the Gölcük earthquake, where we lost 17,000 people, was more durable and longer. The construction of structures that will last a lifetime is vital for us. The way to minimize loss of life and property in a possible earthquake is through this new transformation.
Most of the buildings that we live in our country, especially in Istanbul, are buildings built between 1950 and 2000. The vast majority of these structures are structures built after 1975 and again in 1975 according to the old DISASTER REGULATION and using old construction technologies, hand-mixed concrete and flat type structural steels. The number of these structures in Istanbul is estimated to be around 2 million.
It is observed that the construction steels are extremely corroded and rotten due to the fact that Istanbul is located at the seaside, the humidity level and the groundwater levels are high, the use of sea sand in the reinforced concrete of the old buildings, the foundation and the building insulation techniques are not applied. It has been determined that these rusting and decay cause cracks and spills on concrete surfaces.
In the examinations and analyzes made in the old buildings, it has been determined that the concrete samples taken are at low levels and this level is lower than the quality of concrete produced in today’s conditions. The type of Structural Steel used in these structures is no longer used in steel reinforced concrete structures.
Various additions were made after the earthquake of 17 August 1999, which was prepared by the authorized persons towards the end of the 1990s and which was accepted in 1997-1998, after the 17 August 1999 earthquake and finally it was updated with some additions in 2010.
In addition to this, as a result of scientific studies, better quality and more durable Concrete classes and Structural Steel grades are produced, Concrete Plants, Concrete Mixers, Pumps and all kinds of construction materials and machines are being produced and these materials have been started to be used in newly constructed buildings.
Meanwhile, with the Law No. 4708 enacted in 2001, more serious studies have been initiated regarding the inspection of the buildings, besides the responsibility of the project, the Construction Supervision firms have been made responsible, the Site Supervision has been made compulsory, the quality of the Concrete and Structural Steel used for the construction of the ground surveys and the productions. It was started to be taken under control by making checks whether it is suitable for the project values.
For this reason, as ADA PROJE, we have adopted the task of building more durable, long-lasting and modern buildings in accordance with the technology of the day by demolishing unhealthy old buildings in many districts of Istanbul, especially in our region. We are demolishing buildings that have already filled their economic lives and transforming them into new living quarters that are earthquake resistant, suitable for the district’s texture and with smart building features.
