Things to know about the earthquake resistance of TOKİ housing.

Minister of Environment, Urbanization and Climate Change Murat Kurum shared important information regarding the safety of TOKİ housing. In his video post, he emphasized, "Do you know the secret of the sturdiness of our TOKİ housing?" This statement aims to alleviate safety concerns regarding TOKİ housing.

The housing constructed by TOKİ is notable for its earthquake-resistant structures. In this context, all TOKİ housing projects are built in accordance with earthquake regulations. The developed projects adhere to scientific data and engineering calculations. Implementing soil survey reports stands out as a critical step to ensure the safety of these structures.

Moreover, through soil survey reports, appropriate strengthening techniques for the land on which the structure is located are determined. When necessary, TOKİ also resorts to modern construction techniques such as the pile foundation system for soil improvement works. This system is an important intervention aimed at increasing the sturdiness of houses even under weak soil conditions.

Minister Kurum also emphasized the construction processes of TOKİ housing and the technical standards that must be adhered to during these processes in his shares. In addition, the load-bearing systems of the buildings are designed in accordance with current earthquake engineering standards. Therefore, TOKİ housing is constructed to be resilient not only to current but also to potential future earthquakes.

Based on these evaluations and practices, TOKİ housing serves as an important reference point in terms of safety and durability. Continuing its mission to provide low-cost housing, TOKİ also places great importance on the safety of these houses. Thus, it aims for citizens, especially in earthquake-prone regions, to live in safe and solid living spaces.
