Annual Office Trip

Last Thursday, we took a break from our daily routine for a company trip — great food, great company, and plenty of good energy.

We began with a culinary tour of the vibrant Ramla Market, then continued to Lod, visiting one of our key ongoing projects — the twin railway bridges, which form a part of Israel Railways’ Eastern Line.

On site, Natalie Yehuda, Omer Tsur, Gal Edri, and Amir Kedar presented the project and guided us through the design and construction of two semi-integral, post-tensioned bridges, built using the Top-Down method under a particularly tight schedule — an impressive achievement by all involved.

We ended the day with a lavish late lunch and a beer-making workshop at Beer Bazaar Brewery in Kfar Daniel.

Aleto & Onne Bridges – East West Road Project, Nigeria

Progress on the Aleto & Onne Bridges – East West Road Project, Nigeria

The Aleto and Onne bridges are key components of the East West Road, a major transportation corridor designed to improve connectivity, trade, and mobility across southern Nigeria.

These structures feature advanced segmental construction using the Form Traveler system, enabling precise execution over challenging terrain and ensuring durability under demanding environmental conditions.

Following the recent site visits, the project continues to highlight the capabilities of modern bridge engineering and the importance of seamless coordination between design, supervision, and construction teams. Appreciation to the site crews for their professionalism and dedication in advancing this landmark infrastructure.

Green Line Light Rail in Tel-Aviv

As the Structural Engineer of Record on behalf of the National Transportation Authority (NTA) for the Levinsky station and Nordau Portal, Kedmor is actively involved in the Green Line LRT project in Tel Aviv.

Over the past few weeks, Kedmor has conducted site visits to assess construction progress, verify compliance with the design specifications, identify and resolve specific challenges, and gain a comprehensive evaluation of the overall work quality.

The construction is progressing satisfactorily, with the contractor having completed a significant portion of the structural components, particularly the underground elements. Collaborating effectively with the project management, quality control, and assurance teams, the contractor is diligently advancing in accordance with the project structural design.

From Israel to Myanmar: Bridging Borders, Building Ideas

Partner Gal Edri and BIM Manager Marina Mikerova from our Israel office recently returned from a meaningful and productive visit to the KEDMOR team in Yangon, Myanmar.

During their time there, they led training sessions, helped refine workflows, and connected personally with each team member.

The visit was a great reminder that good international collaboration is built not just on processes and tools, but on real relationships and clear, open communication.

A big thank you to our Yangon team for your professionalism, dedication, and warm hospitality!

AI Training Workshop

At Kedmor Engineers, we believe in staying ahead of the curve.

Last week, our entire team took part in a full-day, hands-on AI workshop led by Gil Ben David of Binogad Ltd. – an AI expert, lecturer, and consultant.

Together, we explored the real-world applications of artificial intelligence in structural engineering and learned how to integrate AI tools into our workflows to boost innovation, efficiency, and impact.

Thank you, Gil, for an inspiring and practical session that opened our eyes to what’s possible. The future is here—and we’re building it.

Ozu Abam Bridge, Nigeria

Construction is progressing well on the Kedmor-designed Ozu Abam Bridge in Abia State, Nigeria.

Route 60 Interchange project

Kedmor Engineers are proud to provide value engineering design services for the superstructure of the two-span bridge, BR-01, which is a part of the Route 60 Interchange project, near Nazareth, on behalf of contractor AMT Channel Surveying.

To enhance the original government tender design, we replaced pre-tensioned girders with cast-in-place, post-tensioned concrete box girders, improving buildability and reducing costs.
The total bridge length is 68m, with spans of 27m & 41m.

We traded drawings for beer, and celebrated with the team at #Schnitt Bar in #Tel-Aviv. It was a fantastic night filled with laughter and toasts to many more successful years. Here's to the incredible team that makes Kedmor Engineers what it is.

Site work begins on a new river bridge in Nigeria

Foundation work is underway for our New River Bridge project in Nigeria! This 35m, 3-span bridge near Abuja will improve connectivity along the road. This integral bridge has been designed using pre-cast concrete girders and a cast-in-situ deck, and optimized using SOFiSTiK finite-element analysis software.

We wish the site team the very best of luck!

Opening of the Great Ruaha River Bridge in Tanzania

We are thrilled to announce that the Great Ruaha River Bridge in Tanzania has been officially opened for traffic.

This 133-meter, three-span, symmetrical steel girder bridge, designed with a steel composite superstructure and supported on elastomeric pot-bearings, now stands as a testament to engineering excellence.

The bridge was constructed using the incremental launching method, ensuring the river's natural flow remained unobstructed during the build.

This bridge will greatly enhance connectivity and transportation efficiency in the region, supporting Tanzania’s continued growth, sustainability, and development.

Design progress on HaShoftim 8-10, Ramat HaSharon

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.

7th International Exhibition & Conference on Concervation & Reuse of Cultural Assets

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.
