The Great Ruaha Bridge

The Great Ruaha Bridge

Introducing the Great Ruaha Bridge in Tanzania, currently under construction!

This 133m long symmetrical steel girder structure gracefully spans the river with its 41-51-41m spans, supported by two mid-piers and two abutments, all founded on shallow footings, which sit on the bedrock.

The construction of this impressive bridge utilizes the incremental launching method, allowing for seamless construction without obstructing the river’s flow.

Bezalel Pavilion

Bezalel Pavilion

‘The Pavilion’ is a voluntary project, in conjunction with the Bezalel Academy of Art & Design in Jerusalem, that Kedmor has been involved with since 2018.

The objective is to design and build a pavilion, to be temporarily located at the entrance to the Architecture department of the university.

This year, the project focused on the use of Ytong blocks, kindly donated by Ytong Factory.

The students used AI to generate a series of different schemes and the alternative with the highest probability of success was chosen for construction.

The structural geometry was optimized using Rhino software, to achieve the largest possible shadow, within the given constraints of the challenge.

Kedmor Engineers provided structural input for the project, utilizing SOFiSTiK advanced finite analysis software, to analyze the stability of the structure.

We had a lot of fun supporting the project, and relish the opportunity to collaborate with the future Architects of the world.
