Design of below ground 32m diameter water silo and a variety of retaining walls along a 2.2km stretch of road.
The silo was formed of reinforced concrete and founded on piles, using top-down construction methodologies.

As part of the continued construction of Road 423 from the bridge connecting Highway 4313 to the Begin road our office designed several structures.
Among others, this video presents the ongoing construction of the first stage including retaining and acoustic walls, an underground concrete water reservoir and more.
Enjoy!

Kedmor welcomes this year’s placement students, Daniel Nave and Or Natan from Ben-Gurion University of the Negev.
Each will be involved with our projects, gaining valuable practical experience in the design office.
They will also receive guidance for their final university projects from Shimon Senior Engineer and Gal Team Leader.
Please get in touch if you’d like to be part of next year’s student intake.
We recently held an interesting CPD seminar at our offices, on bridge tension-cable grouting, from industry expert Alex Poliakov.
He presented examples of grouting and tension-cable failure from around the world and advised on best-practice methods, to mitigate these issues.
Thank you, Alex!

We’ve compiled some of our best project-photos and images, into one place.
Feel free to follow, ‘like’ and share.
We presented papers at two conferences in Guimaraes, Portugal last month.
The first, was the final conference of the TU1406 COST Action Group. This is a part of a special study programme, funded by the EU, with the objective of encouraging collaboration between academics and practical designers. Amir Kedar has acted as Moderator for Study Panel 6, which presented papers and case-studies of how the quality control of existing bridges is performed outside Europe.
The second was the IABSE Symposium 2019, where Micha Petri presented his paper on the design of the Loko Oweto Bridge in Nigeria and Amir presented his work with the Cost Action Group.
Yesterday we photographed this great project in operation.
Happy new year and season’s greetings to one and all from Kedmor!
This year’s trip was to the south of Israel.
Micha Petri reported on the design and construction of this pair of 1835m long bridges, in Bridge Design & Engineering.
Kedmor are delighted to announce the promotion of Meital Toledano and Gal Edri to Team Leaders.
Congratulations to both!
We’re really excited about their new roles within the Practice.
Today we visited our Jordan Gateway Bridge project. The incrementally launched bridge superstructure, is now in its final position and the site team is busy fixing the permanent bearings.
Final landscaping works underway on this 6,000sqm sports complex in Pisgat Ze’ev, Jerusalem. Kedmor provided structural design services for this steel and reinforced concrete framed building, in collaboration with V5 Architects.
In this voluntary project, Kedmor collaborated with Architecture students from the Bezalel Academy of Art & Design, to create a temporary pavilion for the entrance of the Architecture department. The project focused on the exploration of natural materials with algorithmic design procedures and digital fabrication.
The students elected to create a sustainable structure, using form-finding parametric modelling techniques. They used Grasshopper and Rhino to optimize the structure to maximise the shadow created on the ground. The structure, built by the students, was formed from natural timber and locally sourced from the Jerusalem Municipality.
Kedmor provided the engineering support for the project, using finite element analysis software and engineering know-how to stabilise the structure and resolve issues along the way, in cooperation with the students.
This project was supported by Casali Institute for Applied Chemistry, Negev Ecology and Nesher Cement industries.
Kedmor have decided to close their offices on Sunday 22nd July 2018, to go out and protest, in solidarity with the LGBTQ+ community’s struggle for equal rights
Equality for everyone!
Kedmor commissioned a UAV flyover of our Arlozorov underground station project, showing the temporary works struts in place, whilst the excavation of this ‘cut and cover’ structure progresses.
The white struts temporarily brace the external reinforced concrete diaphragm retaining walls, facilitating safe construction of the main station.
The Israel Railway electrification project was declared by the State of Israel as a national infrastructure project with a 12 billion NIS budget. The transition to electric locomotives will shorten the journey times, increase frequency of trains, significantly reduce noise pollution and eliminate air pollution along tracks and stations.
Kedmor have been appointed as the Israeli Structural Designer on this international project.
We recently visited our Loko-Oweto Bridge project construction site in Nigeria.
The eastern bridge is now complete. This was a huge relief for the site logistics team, as the construction of the western bridge can now be carried out from the eastern one, rather than having to continue working from barges on the river!
Kedmor were commissioned to provide structural engineering design and continuous site supervision services for this pair of bridges.
