For the end of the year Kedmor had a day out.
We started at Hula Nature Reserve, a beautiful place.
Then we went to eat at Mitbalim restaurant in Rosh Pina.
For dessert we had a muddy Extreme RZR ride at Kalanit.
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.
Kedmor are delighted to announce the promotion of Mor Machlev to the position of Team Leader.
Congratulations Mor!
We wish you a lot of success in your new role.
Mor Machlev reported on the refurbishment of this bridge, damaged by impact loads from lorries, in Construction and Infrastructure Engineering, the magazine of the Israeli Association of Construction and Infrastructure Engineers, Issue 83, August 2019.

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.
Kedmor recently submitted tender documentation for this pair of curved, post-tensioned bridges at Zeitim Interchange, Jerusalem.
This was our first project, where we implemented the new Sofistik parametric bridge modelling software in our BIM model.

We are delighted to announce the promotion of Robert Ferris to Director of UK Projects.
Robert moved from London to Israel with his family in 2017. He is a Chartered Structural Engineer with a wealth of experience working alongside leading Architects and Developers, on building projects within the UK.
We are keen to use his local knowledge to help our clients to design great buildings, both in the UK and in Israel.
We are thrilled to announce that Kedmor have been awarded a Certificate of Excellence, for outstanding achievement as a nominee, at the Bentley Infrastructure Awards 2018, for our Loko Oweto Bridges project in Nigeria.
Further information on this project can be found here.

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.
Kedmor welcomes this year’s placement students Yossi Ashkenazi, Roee Meidan & Guy Tamir, all from Ben-Gurion University of the Negev.
Each will be involved with our projects, gaining valuable practical experience in the design office.
Guy & Roee will also receive guidance for their final university projects from Micha, one of our resident Ben-Gurion University Lecturers.
Please get in touch if you’d like to be part of next year’s student intake.
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.
