The design earthquake magnitude was specified as moment magnitude of 7.25 and design of functional and safety evaluation earthquakes have a return period of 500 and 2,500 years, respectively. Seismic joint locations defined during design phase were verified through continuous monitoring of cutterhead torques. </p><p>The 3,340&#160;m (3,650&#160;yd) tunnel was excavated and constructed with a 13.7&#160;m (45&#160;ft) diameter Mixshield Slurry TBM exclusively designed and equipped with the latest 19&#160;in (483&#160;mm)} disc cutters (35 pieces monoblock disc cutters, all atmospherically changeable and have individual wearing sensor system), 192 piece cutting knives (only 48 atmospherically changeable), special pressurized locks for divers and material and rescue chamber for all shift members.

The maximum advance rate was realized at marine sediment zone with 18.0&#160;m/d (59&#160;ft/d). Spent direct time for excavation and ringbuild were around 3,500 and 1,700 hours, respectively. In Trakya formation, 28 dyke zones were excavated with an average frequency of 90&#160;m (300&#160;ft) and thicknesses were varying between 1 and 120&#160;m (3.3 and 393.7&#160;ft). Furthermore, 440 disc cutters, 85 scrapers and 475 brushes were replaced by TBM crew and four times hyperbaric maintenance operations (total of 45 days) with specially trained divers (max. under 10.8&#160;bar or 1.08&#160;MPa or 157&#160;psi first time in the world) were successfully performed. </p><p>15,048 piece 600&#160;mm (23.62&#160;in)-thick precast segments (1,672 rings) with the high performance (average charge passed is 280 <a href="/wiki/Coulomb" title="Coulomb">Coulomb</a> (1,000 Coulomb limit) were produced and connected to each other by using 30,765 bolts. Each ring consists of nine segments that had an average 28 day cylinder compressive strength of 70&#160;MPa (10,000&#160;psi) and can resist at least 127 years as a service life against subsea conditions. Only 0.3% of produced segments were found to be deficient due to existence of cracks width more than 0.2&#160;mm (0.008&#160;in). </p><p>On the other hand, twin tunnels (each has approximately 950&#160;m or 3,120&#160;ft length) were completed in 445 calendar days with a cross section of 85&#160;m<sup>2</sup> (910&#160;sq&#160;ft) each by classical mining method.
