Project
About Tuzla Aydınlı Fish Market
Developed in Tuzla Aydınlı, this fish market was designed as a commercial facility serving the region’s food supply chain.
Product quality in fish markets depends on an unbroken cold chain. Reliable refrigeration for cold rooms and ice production, strong drainage for constantly washed floors and building materials resistant to a salty, humid environment are the project's key topics.
Tuzla Aydınlı Fish Market is one of the reference projects in Sönmez Mühendislik's industrial and commercial buildings portfolio. Since 1995, Sönmez Mühendislik has provided structural, electrical, mechanical and infrastructure engineering with BIM coordination for projects in Türkiye and abroad.
Approach
Engineering for food and wholesale market buildings
Fish markets are commercial facilities designed around an unbroken cold chain, intensive washing and hygiene, and heavy vehicle and pedestrian traffic that starts early in the morning.
- Cold rooms and refrigeration systems
- Washdown, drainage and wastewater management
- Corrosion-resistant structure and materials
- Lighting, power distribution and security systems
Engineering
Key engineering topics for this type of project
Salt water, humidity and constant washing put the structure and services of fish markets under strain, while refrigeration must run without interruption to protect product quality.
- 01
Cold chain
Cold rooms and ice production are sized to product volumes, with measures against power cuts.
- 02
Hygiene and drainage
Adequate falls, floor gullies and grease and grit separators are planned for frequently washed floors.
- 03
Corrosion
Concrete, coatings and services materials are chosen to withstand a humid, salty environment.
- 04
Loading areas
Lighting and site infrastructure are designed for vehicle traffic and loading bays.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How is refrigeration planned in fish markets?
Cold room and refrigeration capacity is set from daily product volumes, storage times and ice demand.
Why is drainage important in these facilities?
Constant washing and product wastewater must be removed quickly for hygiene and pre-treated appropriately.
How is the building protected in humid environments?
Suitable concrete class and cover, corrosion-resistant coatings and stainless services materials extend the life of the building.
