This investment in any project ensures safe and economic design, long life, good performance and crack free structures.
A mobile swimming pool roof, Oranit
The swimming pool's roof is made of 1/8-circle segment of 24 meter spans; each segment is a roof and a front wall.
The roof is opened by turning the segment around a pole. The front wall moves around on wheels.
The steel structure has been designed in an optimal way so its weight will be as low as possible.
The low weight brought to a reduction of the amount of steel, and in addition has made possible to move the segment by man alone, in comparison to similar roofs that needed expensive machinery to move their parts.
Junior High School, Oranit
The structure is architecturally complicated, made of post-tensioned slabs with 12-meter spans, 27 cm thick.
Victoria House - Office Building in Hamelacha st., Tel-Aviv
Post-tensioned slabs, no columns between the core and the exterior envelope.
Blue Laguna – Marina Herzeliya
Residential building with post-tensioned slabs.
IBM Building, Petach Tikva
The company has designed the building's slabs as post-tensioned slabs for the contractor.
The unique geometry of the structure has demanded a special spatial analysis of the influence of the post-tensioning on the whole structure, and a unique geometrical layout of the cables.
The slabs were designed so they will enable lengthening the building in the future with monolithical connection.
Buildings with monostrand unbonded tendons post-tensioned slabs are becoming a widely used application of prestressed concrete. This method achieves performance and construction improvements over other construction methods. However, in order to reap the benefits of this method, proficiency is required in both structural design and construction. Post-tensioned slabs is a preferred method for industrial, commercial and residential floor slab construction. The increasingly extensive use of this method is due to its advantages and its nature of easy application to a wide variety of structure geometry and design solutions. Prestressed floor systems using monostrand tendons may be designed as either one or two way slab systems, and may be flat plate, flat slab waffle slab, or other slab sections. The prestressing is achieved by individually tensioning tendons, placed within internally greased protected plastic sleeves, arranged in the slab prior to casting. Compressive stresses are applied to the concrete via tendon anchors. Prestressing is performed within three to seven days of casting. Unlike the multi-strand system (which is primarily suited for beams and girders) the monostrand method allows prestressing of slabs as thin as 15cm. while maintaining vertical optimal curvatures for the structure. The monostrand system is also simpler, requires less in site organization, and is more forgiving to construction variances.
Advantages afforded by unbonded slab prestressing as compared with alternative designs include:
Increased speed of construction as prestressing allows for faster stripping and reuse of formwork.
Thinner slabs resulting from post-tensioning by virtue of improved deflection behavior and improved section utilization.
Improved economy due to reduced slab thickness and associated concrete costs, reducing building weight with the corresponding foundation reductions, reduced building height with the corresponding decrease in building skin area, and a reduced amount of mild reinforcing rebar.
Large area slabs can be maintained with no control joints.
Simpler coordination between consultants due to a flat slab underside, the design and installation of utilities systems is simpler (heating, air conditioning, sprinklers, etc.)
Increased design flexibility allows simple solutions even for structures with irregular geometry, without the need for transverse or longitudinal beams.
Longer spans can be achieved improving the architectural structure flexibility.
Long-term deformations due to creep, which are usually significant in concrete slabs, are almost nonexistent in unbonded tendons prestressed slabs.
Longer building life cycle due to the uncracked nature of the prestressed concrete. This advantage also creates slabs more resistant to water penetration, and the structure behaves monolithically.
Post-tensioned slab on grade – by post-tensioning, large area of slab on grade for any propose, can be designed without any joint, improving performance of the slab, increasing life span and reducing maintenance cost.
The company has excellent capability and creativity to find the most economic solution, yet technically sound and safe structure.
Due to these qualities we became the most preferred consulting engineering company among the contractors competing on Design-Build bids projects.
The company is specialized in the spliced girders method.
This method is the way to maximize span/depth ratio for bridges composed of pre-cast girders.
Utilization of this method, combined with the company developed system for optimization of post-tensioned tendon profiles, enables reducing 20%-40% of the structures cost, compared to other alternative design methods.
Zohar Bridge is composed of standard precast AASHTO VI girders with 52 meter span. B9 Bridge on road 431 is composed of standard channel girders 1.80 meter deep with 54 meter span. The Histadrut Bridge is composed of channel precast girders 2.5 meter deep with 72 meters span: this is the largest span spliced girder bridge and among one of the largest bridges composed of precast elements with this span/depth ratio.
The company designs integral abutments bridges up to 80 meters long, including bridges with large diameter concrete piles. The integral abutments bridges avoid the need for bearings and expansion joints, reducing construction cost and dramatically minimizing the maintenance cost. The integral abutments bridges improve the riding quality of vehicles. Accurate analysis of the creep, shrinkage, temperature difference effects and the foundation soil interaction is accomplished, resulting in a very well performing bridge.

Value engineering - reviewing and optimization of existing design.
Specialty in post-tensioned structures.
Zohar Bridge – road 31 over Zohar River
Height: 40 meters high above the river bed, maximum span: 52 meters.
The bridge is located close to the Dead Sea in a high seismic risk zone.
The superstructure is made of spliced AASHTO VI girders continuously post-tensioned.
Due to this construction method and the optimization of the cable layout, this is the bridge with the longest span using standard AASHTO VI girders.
Railway over road 20
The railway is crossing the Road 20 with a very sharp angle of only 7°.
The original design was to cover the entire polygon made by the exterior lines of the road and the railway with transverse beams, ending with a total bridge area of 6000 square meters.
Stern Y.D.E. Engineers offered an alternative solution minimizing the width of the bridge to that required by the dual rails. The bridge is supported on transverse monolitc post-tensioned concrete frame, spanning 22 meters from each side of the road. The transverse frames are made from cast in situ precast post tensioned girders. The girders were placed on the columns and monolithically connected.
The longitudinal beams have continuity through the transverse frames.
