Thrilled about the opening of The Tel-Aviv Light-Rail Red-Line, which includes Arlosoroff Underground Station, designed by Kedmor!
This underground station structure comprises of water-tight ‘outer-box’ diaphragm walls, which helped facilitate the temporary works requirements, during ground excavation and the construction of the main station inner-box.
The XL Canopy, one of the key pieces of the Red-Line stations, located above the Arlosoroff station had been meticulously detailed as well. The connection nodes weigh up to ca. 950 kg each and are 200 mm of solid steel, welded to the profiles. Their design included volumetric finite-element analysis, with the help of Lusas FE software.
Kedmor are the structural Engineer of Record for this complex underground structure, provided engineering support throughout construction.
With thanks to our colleagues at RHDHV, IBI Architects, Joseph Klein Soil Consultant and NTA for their collaboration throughout the project.
