Jotun, which is preferred for the 1915 Çanakkale Bridge after the Osmangazi Gulf Crossing Bridge, Yavuz Sultan Selim Bosphorus Bridge, and Avrasya Tunnel, continues to protect the important structures of Turkey!
1915 Çanakkale Bridge, one of Turkey’s most important projects, the longest mid-span suspension bridge in the world, was painted with Jotun. Meeting all the paint needs of the building with strong industrial paints in its field, Jotun provides long-lasting protection with its highest quality products.
With a middle span of 2023 meters and a length of 4608 meters, the 1915 Çanakkale Bridge has 2 steel towers, 318 meters high, its steel deck and all its auxiliary steel components are protected by Jotun.
In the project, where the total amount of paint used is around 600,000 liters, high protection against corrosion and harsh conditions is provided with Jotun’s industrial paints Barrier 80, Penguard Express, Resist 86, and Jotacote Universal.
One of the elements that make the 1915 Çanakkale Bridge different is that the last floors of the towers are painted in Turkish Flag red, and the last floor of the deck is painted in Turkish Flag white. The towers were painted in a red tone called 1915 Çanakkale Red, specially produced for the bridge, and to make the color last longer, an acrylic polysiloxane paint Hardtop Pro was used at Jotun’s recommendation.
In addition, in some parts of the towers, Jotun’s high-performance Jotachar series was preferred, which was also used in the Osmangazi Bridge.
Jotun, which carried the colors of the Turkish Flag to the 1915 Çanakkale Bridge in line with the long-lasting work with the design team, thus became the choice of all bridges connecting the European Side to Asia.
