Kedmor Engineers are providing the structural design for this 8-storey, high-end, mixed-use development in Ramat HaSharon, comprising residential and office space, and a 4-storey deep basement car park.
The structural frame is of reinforced concrete construction, with extensive use of architectural fair-faced concrete. The building is founded on an economic raft foundation, and utilizes a contiguous-piled retaining wall, with temporary ground anchors.
Kedmor have worked closely with the Architects to achieve slender flat slabs, optimized for long, column-free spans, using Sofistik advanced finite element analysis software, to facilitate the irregular architectural facade. A ‘walking column’ solution was adopted at 1st floor level, to accommodate changes in the column grids, realising the architect's vision of a clean, exposed slab soffit, without large transfer beams.

Last week, we attended the 7th International Exhibition and Conference on Conservation and Reuse of Cultural Assets in Tel Aviv. We were inspired by the discussions on preserving history, from memorializing the tragedy in Kibbutz Be'eri to urban renewal in Germany and archaeological discoveries during construction of the metro in Portugal.
These insights reinforce our commitment to designing sustainable structures, that respect the past, while shaping a resilient future.
We thank the Israel Heritage Sites Preservation Authority for hosting this insightful event.
We're thrilled to announce that last year’s cohort of student engineers, Talia Dychtwald, Chen Somech, and Yoav Milgrom, have been promoted to Structural Engineers!
These talented individuals have been invaluable members of our team, and we're excited to see their continued growth and contributions to our firm.
Congratulations all!
Great to be back at the annual Construction and Infrastructure Conference in Tel Aviv last week!
It was a pleasure to reconnect with industry friends and colleagues, and we're proud to have shared our innovative design for the HaEtzel Bridge in B'nei Brak, presented by Partner Mor Machlev.
Last week, the KEDMOR team had a productive team-building outing.
We started the day with a delicious breakfast at a scenic café in Bitan Aharon, overlooking Nachal Alexander.
Following breakfast, we visited one of our ongoing projects, Havatzelet Bridge, currently under construction. Raz Mor, Gal Edri & Omer Tsur provided insightful discussions on the design process and technical aspects of the project.
We continued the day with a delicious lunch at a local restaurant, and in the afternoon, we engaged in team-building activities, including archery and a leisurely quad-bike ride along Nachal Alexander.
As the sun began to set, we gathered for some friendly competition over beer pong.
Kedmor Engineers is proud to announce that Senior Partner Micha Petri, recently led a 3-day training course in Nigeria for 60 experienced civil engineers from the Lagos State Ministry of Works and Infrastructure, called ‘Bridge engineering from theory to practice,’ focusing on bridge design and construction, working alongside colleagues from Geld Construction Ltd and Samara from SMA Engineering.
Together, we shared knowledge, discussed best practices, and explored innovative approaches to bridge design and construction. At the conclusion of the course, all participants received certificates of participation as a token of appreciation for their engagement and contributions.
This was a valuable opportunity to strengthen international partnerships and contribute to the development of infrastructure in Nigeria.

Kedmor Engineers are proud to share the design of this new precast prestressed bridge near Maale Adumim. The innovative structure spans Route 1 and is a testament to our commitment to engineering excellence.
The bridge features a pre-stressed 160 cm high channel section beam and a 25 cm thick slab cast in situ. With a total length of approximately 80m, divided into 3 spans, with a maximum span of 35m long. The bridge’s width is about 14m, which includes a 4m wide lane, to allow for future expansion.
To accommodate the bridge’s 15-degree skew angle, we designed circular piers, with a diameter of approximately 100 cm. This design ensures stability and durability even under the heaviest loads.
This project demonstrates our ability to deliver complex infrastructure solutions that meet the highest standards of quality and safety. We are excited to see this bridge serve as a vital connection for years to come.
The bridge was modelled in a BIM environment using Autodesk Revit, and analysed it using SOFiSTiK ME advanced finite element analysis software for design optimisation.

We're thrilled to share that Kedmor Engineers has designed this new bridge as part of the East West Road project. Spanning 315 meters, this 18-meter-wide structure will be a vital link in the region.
Constructed with 12 internal spans and two end-spans, the bridge deck is a robust combination of 5 precast concrete trapezoidal U beams and a cast-in-place concrete topping. This is just one of five bridges we've designed for the 15km new road project in Nigeria.
A numerical model was built using Sofistik advanced finite element analysis software to optimize the design, and provide an efficient and sustainable structure.
Check out photos of the bridge piers and foundations currently under construction.
Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting project.

Itamar Netzer recently presented the design methodology for the rehabilitation of the Namir-Yarkon Bridge at the IABMAS 2024 - Copenhagen.
This iconic tied-arch steel bridge was constructed in Tel-Aviv in 1958, and is made up of riveted steel. As part of the maintenance program of the bridge, a rehabilitation methodology had been devised to replace damaged rivets with high-strength friction-grip injection bolts.
Please feel free to check out the publication in the conference proceedings, co-authored with Amir Kedar as part of the work Kedmor Engineers LTD. have done for the Tel-Aviv Municipality bridge department.

Kedmor are proud to announce their involvement in the design of the new entrance to Lod from Route 40.
Our team is providing structural engineering design services for a comprehensive infrastructure project that will significantly improve accessibility and sustainability for the city. This includes:
Two railway bridges.
Two pedestrian bridges.
An underpass.
An underground water reservoir with a capacity of 1,000 cubic meters.
A water pumping station.
The innovative underground reservoir will capture rainwater runoff from the underpass system, promoting water conservation and reducing strain on existing water resources. The captured water will then be directed to a new pumping station.
The reservoir utilises reinforced concrete construction and is founded on piles for optimal stability. To facilitate the cut & cover construction method chosen by the contractor, a contiguous piled retaining wall surrounds the reservoir.
The project utilised Sofistik advanced finite element analysis & 3D reinforced concrete detailing in AutodeskRevit, for an optimised, holistic design.
This project exemplifies Kedmor Engineers' commitment to sustainable and resilient infrastructure development.
