Directorate of Technical Works

The directorate spends an increasing amount of effort every year to undertake projects making roads and infrastructure facilities more functional, designing and realizing projects suitable to historical structure of Fatih. With restoration efforts realized to this aim, existing historic structures are revealed. Coordinating activities of other public institutions active in our area on issues that fall into our area of responsibility is necessary to address and monitor malfunctioning and to ensure quality and continuity of services. Thus, directorate continues increasing cooperation with infrastructure institutions (BEDAŞ, TELEKOM, İGDAŞ, and İSKİ), aiming to increase its quality of service. Fatih is an old residential area where there are many uninhabited buildings. The Directorate of Technical Works demolishes such buildings due to their dangerous structural conditions and special circumstances regarding security based on board decision towards demolishing. The Directorate of Technical Works surveys existing road and infrastructure network all around Fatih, conducts road arrangement, lightening, repair, maintenance, and modifications of public buildings, construction and restoration of family health centers, information centers, recreation facilities, sports halls, and libraries.
