Road 423 project, Ness Ziona

Excited to share the commencement of construction works on the Road 423 project — the Ness Ziona bypass connecting to Rehovot.

The project includes the construction of a new railway bridge above Margolin Street, to be executed using the Top-Down construction method.

As part of the enabling works for the bridge construction, the existing railway tracks will be temporarily diverted. To facilitate this diversion, drainage channels and retaining walls are being constructed along the railway alignment throughout the project area.

The contractor has now commenced construction of the drainage system and retaining walls, marking the first major stage of works on site.

Aleto Bridges

Progress continues on the Aleto Bridges project over the Aleto River in Nigeria.

These twin bridges are designed as cast in situ, post-tensioned concrete structures, built using the balanced cantilever method.

Each bridge is 160m long divided into 3 spans, with a maximum span of 80m, and consist of single hollow box girders.

The contractor has successfully completed the substructure works for both bridges.

Construction has now advanced to the superstructure phase, with the first segments being cast and post-tensioned at the intermediate piers.

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.
