Kedmor have provided structural engineering design services to the new entrance to Lod from Route 40.
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.
