TEKNOFEST attracted over 240 teams from all over the world.

This year’s TEKNOFEST drone competition was held in Bursa, with over 240 teams from over 85 countries competing. IST competed in the event as well, being Pakistan’s pioneer institute in Aerospace Science and Engineering. *Awards were given to Pakistani students.

Pakistani Students Were Rewarded with a 36,000 Turkish Lira Cash Prize

The team of Pakistani students took first place in the silver category and finished fourth overall in the TEKNOFEST competition. A monetary prize of 36,000 Turkish Lira was also awarded to the IST team. In the drone competition, the claimed Pakistani students built an AI-based conquering solution for Human Search and Rescue missions using a swarm of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles.

Furthermore, the TEKNOFEST UAVs built by a group of Pakistani students were specifically intended for optimum path outlining and human identification in post-disaster circumstances. Intelligent unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) can scan a catastrophe region for injured individuals from a height of 30 to 50 meters. These unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) provide high-level solutions for search and rescue operations.

Pakistan’s Best And Famous Bridges

 

Bridges are critical for establishing links between cities or nations. They also contribute to the area’s aesthetic appeal. Let’s take a look at some of Pakistan’s most beautiful and well-known bridges, including their locations, names, and histories.

Kak Pul :

It is based on the Soan River, which is located on the Islamabad Highway. The Soan River is a major watercourse in Pakistan’s Potohar area. It depletes a significant portion of Potohar’s water supply. Sihala town, the National Police Academy of Pakistan’s region, and Pakistan’s most recognized police trade school are all adjacent to Kak Pul. The Defence Housing Authority in Islamabad, the Institute of Space Technology in Islamabad, the Mohammad Ali Jinnah University campus, and Model Town Humak, a satellite town of Islamabad, Pakistan, all situated adjacent to Kak Pul.


Bunji Bridge:

Bunji Bridge (also Partab Pul) is a suspension bridge that spans the Indus River in Bunji, a town in Gilgit-Astore Baltistan’s District. It was originally used by Maharaja Pratap Singh’s administration in the royal kingdom of Jammu and Kashmir in the nineteenth century. During the 1947 Gilgit Rebellion, its timber bracing was set ablaze and repaired along these lines. Throughout the decades, it has been neglected and ignored. Following the 2010 Indus floods, the late-established Government of Gilgit-Baltistan rebuilt it in 2012. The scaffold is supposed to serve as an important link between Gilgit’s town and the Astore District.

Rathoa Haryam Bridge:

The Islamgarh Bridge, also known as the Rathoa Haryam Bridge, is a long expansion under construction in the Mirpur District of Azad Jammu Kashmir, Pakistan. KASHMIR and AZAD JAMMU The Rathoa Haryam Bridge is 5 kilometers long. According to experts, the expansion between New Mirpur City and Islamgarh is 5 kilometers long. The expansion will not only reduce the street connection between Mirpur and Islamgarh to an unusually low level.

However, it will cut the time it takes for suburbanites to travel between Mirpur and Kotli, as well as between Mirpur and the Dadayal subdivision. According to the source, the scaffold will also create new vistas for the district’s tourism business. The remaining two columns of Kashmir’s Longest Bridge in Mirpur, Pakistan, are expected to be completed in June 2017. This is a diagram of what the previous extension will look like.

The Haryam Rathoa Bridge, which spans the Mangla Dam reservoir in Azad Kashmir and includes an engineering flyover, is almost 5 kilometers long. Because the ground isn’t suitable for columns, the addiction hasn’t been completed and hoping that architects will come up with a different arrangement to finish the scaffold may take some expenditure.


Tremor Memorial Bridge is a 474-meter extradosed bridge in Muzaffarabad that connects the Jhelum River banks to Naluchi and Chattar. The scaffold, which cost over Rs. 1.5 billion and was completed in August 2014 after several delays, was sponsored by the Japan Bank for International Cooperation. On either side, it emphasizes two pathways and walkways. The total width of the scaffold is 15 meters.


The Danyore Suspension Bridge, located in Pakistan’s Gilgit-Baltistan area, is one of the district’s most experienced makeshift engineered overpasses. Danyor is linked to the Karakoram University over the Hunza River by the scaffold. The expansion is now closed to automobiles; only pedestrians and bikers are authorized to pass through.

Winds from the northwest of the valley cause the suspension bridge to sway, causing minute resonances. The bridge is declared dangerous for normal traffic. A reliable two-way extension was built nearby in 2013 and is now being used as a backup alternative.

Native Jetty Bridge:

Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan is home to the Native Jetty Bridge. It connects the city to the Karachi Port. The advanced port commenced operations in 1854 when a mole was built to connect the town to the harbor during the British Raj. Native Jetty Bridge was worked with other major scaffolds in the region after only a few years. Because of the growing traffic congestion, a new, larger stand was erected to replace the old one. The former expansion has been renamed Port Grand Food and Entertainment Complex and has been transformed into a food street.

Jhelum Bridge:

On the Jhelum River in Pakistan, the Jhelum Bridge connects Jhelum with Sarai Alamgir. The British designer William St. John Galwey laid the foundation for this expansion in 1878. It is supported by several concrete wharves and is built of iron. It features a single train track on one side and a roadway on the other. Currently, railroad and street traffic use this extension. It is Pakistan’s longest railway bridge, measuring 2.6 miles in length.



On the Indus River in Pakistan, the Kotri Bridge connects Kotri with Hyderabad. It first opened to traffic on May 25, 1900, and was completely rebuilt in 1931. It stretches across more than five ranges, with a total length of 1,948 feet. It features a single train track with streets on both sides. Next to the previous extension, another railroad connection was built in the mid-eighties for train traffic. Mehran Railway Bridge is its name. The one-way railroad and two-way street traffic on the Kotri Bridge are still in service.
