Development of neighborhoods in Beit Shemesh Development of several neighborhoods in Beit Shemesh on complex and problematic soil The challenge: Development of the "glasses neighborhood" and neighborhoods D. 1-4 built by the Ministry of Construction. The soil in Beit Shemesh is complex, problematic and contains chalky and marlstone areas. The marlstone areas are problematic due to the widespread of the sliding phenomenon in them. The solution: In chalky areas, the foundations used were usually based on micro-files or regular piles. On the other hand, the marlstone, which is a weak rock with swelling potential, requires deep foundation with piling machines as well as treatment of slope sliding. These factors made the solutions more expensive and complicated.

מהנדס קרקע וביסוס מהנדסים גאו-טכניים יעוץ קרקע וביסוס Commercial and industrial buildings דף הבית / מבני מסחר ותעשייה / "There is a common language, professionalism, mental flexibility, creativity and a lot of experience. In addition, a high level of service and availability, always answered with a smile" Jacob Markovich, Y.H. Demary In projects in this field there is a need for an accurate characterization of the customer's needs. These are often complex structures for which the type of foundation must be adjusted to achieve maximum cost savings on the one hand, and ensuring the stability of a structure that meets the planning requirements on the other. For example, in certain buildings certain subsidences can be accepted, while in buildings that have facilities sensitive to displacements (for example an automatic warehouse) the structure must be restrained to receive minimal displacements. Yuger's office specializes in finding creative solutions to achieve these goals and has very successfully carried out hundreds of projects for warehouses, warehouses, industrial buildings and shopping malls while saving up to millions of shekels per project.

The "Briga Towers" project by Yuger Consulting won the 2021 Construction Excellence Award A complex construction project, which was accompanied by Yuger Engineers Soil Consultants Offices, won a prestigious award from the "Excellence in Construction" competition of the Haaretz Builders Contractors Association, the Foundation for the Encouragement and Development of the Construction Industry and out of a hundred projects submitted to the competition. The prize was awarded to the project " Briga Towers" in the category of "Residential building of ten stories or more. The towers are located on the coastal strip of Netanya, and include two 34-story towers with 14,000 square meters of recreational areas and 208 apartments and were built with an investment of about 800 million shekels. The complexity of the route and the nature of the soil, the proximity to the sea and the complex construction challenges required a particularly thorough and professional soil consultation. This is how the win was justified, on the committee and with reference to the environmental planning and development challenges in which Yuger Soil Consultants was also involved: "Each tower is covered with aluminum 2200 double glass to maintain complete insulation and withstand the weather of the coastal area. During the construction, a variety of innovative technologies were used, and emphasis was placed on Regional development and advanced environmental planning." The urban and environmental space The project is located about 300 meters from the beach of Netanya in the 'Ir Yamim' neighborhood . The investment in the development of the neighborhood and t he suitability of the infrastructure stems from its unique location and the influence of the maritime space, the dune sand and more on the construction and the urban space, hence the need for a thorough examination of the land and the constraints it brings with it and the presentation of technological-infrastructural solutions for the construction process so that it remains economical. It will allow, and as the mayor, Miriam Fierberg-Icher, explains: "The new neighborhoods are enjoying unprecedented success, both locally and nationally, mainly thanks to their level of finish and the development of the preliminary infrastructure - which is often done before occupancy." The uniqueness and professionalism of the firm of soil consultants Yuger Eng., allowed it to accompany this unique and prestigious project and based on the value engineering approach allows saving the costs of the project and on the basis of studying and examining its various engineering aspects and formulating recommendations for changes in planning and implementation while maintaining the quality of the final product. About the prize The judging team is made of professionals in a variety of fields, including representatives of the Ministry of Construction, the Standards Institute, the Green Building Council, the Union of Engineers, the Association of Architects, the Real Estate Appraiser's Office in Israel and other bodies. The team examines the project based on many indicators, including design and construction quality, functional planning, green construction, engineering complexity, use of technologies and environmental compatibility, and more.

Netanya Trio Towers Foundation of three 26-floors residential towers using an innovative method that saved millions of shekels The challenge: Three 26-floors residential towers above one basement floor - one of the first projects in Israel using the CMC method. The foundation of the buildings was in an upper soil section and later in kurkar. The accepted solution used piles in the bentonite method. The solution: The solution carried out was a barge using the CMC method, which prevented the need for groundwater penetration, that would have required bentonite. The savings for the project was about a million dollars.

Soil drilling An experimental soil drilling project for sampling (also known as trial drilling), in the process of formulating the soil report before the construction project, is a central and essential component that cannot be done without. Soil drilling - why? As part of the soil survey, samples are taken in the field through a series of drillings aimed at collecting soil samples at the designated locations and depths b ased on historical mapping of the site. The purpose of testing the soil as part of the drilling is to determine stability , the type and quality of the soil and allow the engineer and constructor to submit recommendations for the infrastructure of the future construction project. The professi onality and thoroughness of the various stages in the drilling and sampling process has a significant impact on the ability to analyze and formulate recommendations later and therefore on the nature of the planned construction project. The considerations for the experimental soil drilling contractor are based on the instructions of the soil consultant and the historical mapping as well as an examination of the actual sampling site and considerations of accessibility, coverage and clarity of the sampling products. Types of soil drilling for sampling - methods and considerations There are several methods performing soil drilling for sampling and the tools they use accordingly. The main considerations, in choosing the drilling method and tool, are: 1. Accessibility of the sampling site (restricted access, electricity/water infrastructure, closed building, etc.). 2. The depth and diameter of the drilling, according to the planned construction. 3. The type of soil. 4. The purpose of the project (private, commercial, public or other construction). For example, for private construction the accepted drilling depth is about 12 meters, while for a building about 24 meters. Therefore, according to the afore mentioned limitations, drilling is possible with the following methods: 1. Mechanical drilling tower - deep soil drilling, only on a site with high accessibility. 2. A mechanical drill on a truck - intended for great depths and difficult soil types. 3. A mechanical drill on a tractor with the ability to tilt - suitable for sites with limited accessibility, but not for deep drilling. 4. Hydraulic hand drill (mechanical) - limited in medium depth and diameter of operation, but suitable for sites with limited access even for a tractor drill. 5. Manual drill - limited in the depth and diameter of the operation and according to the physical ability of the driller, but suitable for sites with limited access even for a tractor drill. Types of drilling: 1. Core drilling (HQ wireline rock): designed for rocky soil. 2. Spiral drilling (hamster): designed for dry or sandy soil. 3. DCP drilling: soil density test designed for mapping the location of the layers, thickness and determination of soil strength (more on DCP drilling, here). 4. SPT drilling: drilling to evaluate the density of the soil, using a special tubular drill (more on SPT drilling, here ). Of course, the more drillings are carried out, the richer information is obtained and which enables a more accurate and reliable decision to be made. However, the land consultant together with the constructor knew how to optimize the layout of the drillings according to professional considerations and such as those detailed above. Selection of soil drilling services There is a large variety of soil drilling contractors on the market, so it is important to examine several alternatives of service, methods and price. Of course, you should not hire the services of a contractor who has not received recommendations and the products of his work have not been tested and accepted by the soil consultant you have chosen to contract with. In certain cases, the soil consultant himself will recommend to you the services of a drilling contractor that he works with on an ongoing basis and therefore trusts the professionalism of his work products - which, as mentioned, are essential for producing a professional land report. However, the soil consultant should be required to specify the requirements and products from the soil drilling and to allow a market survey between different contractors.
