Hadera beach front mall

A second opinion regarding the foundation of an open mall structure near the coastal road and an alternative solution that saved millions of shekels

The challenge:

An open mall building near the coastal road on a field of 30 dunams. The original foundation for the structure, carried out by another consultant, included bentonite piles to a considerable depth at a very high cost due to complex soil conditions that included a sandy upper layer over thick clay and high groundwater.

​

​

The solution:

Performing a shallow foundation that included a network of concrete columns for soil improvement (CMC - Controlled Modulated Columns). This solution resulted in savings of millions of shekels in the foundation compared to the original alternative.
