The ‘1000 Complex’ Rishon LeZion

Gedish won a framework tender for the management of all buildings to be constructed in Public Building Area 402, The 1000 Complex Rishon LeZion.

The plot is planned to include public buildings with mixed-use commercial spaces.

Currently, the first planned structure is proceeding to execution – a combined building for kindergartens, daycares, and “Clalit” health clinics.

Furthermore, the plot is also planned to include a 24-classroom elementary school + 6 special education classrooms, an additional kindergarten and daycare building, a sports hall, a community center, a synagogue, an office tower, and an underground parking garage.

Various types of commercial spaces will be established on the building facades facing the street.

Environmental compensation in Haifa

Gedish won the tender for the landscape appendix within the framework of TATAL 18, which addresses the improvement of Haifa’s marine facade following the installation of electrification lines along the entire railway strip.

The appendix includes, among other things:

  • Visual improvement of existing under-track passages.
  • Structural upgrade of existing pedestrian and private vehicle under-track passages.
  • Improved accessibility over the railway at existing crossings and the addition of new crossings.
  • Landscaping of the railway strip within the plan’s scope.
  • Landscaping of the strip adjacent to the railway, outside the plan’s boundary, in coordination with the Haifa Municipality.
  • Maintaining the openness of main sightlines perpendicular to the sea and leading to it, by appropriately positioning and spacing the electrification poles.
  • Uniform fencing – also addressing the safety and security definitions of Israel Railways.
  • Treatment, cleaning, and removal of nuisances along the railway strip.

Protective Shelters (Miguniyot) – Ministry for the Development of the Negev and Galilee

Gedish Engineering, through the Ministry for the Development of the Negev and Galilee, serves as the managing company for a project to place protective shelters (miguniyot) in Bedouin communities, aiming to ensure the safety of residents in the area during emergencies. As part of the initiative, approximately 400 protective shelters will be installed throughout the communities.

“Yovalim” water reservoir

Emergency Reservoir Construction at the Wastewater Treatment Plant

Construction of an emergency reservoir at the wastewater treatment plant (WWTP), including a reservoir with a capacity of 180,000 cubic meters for faulty tertiary effluent, and an additional reservoir with a capacity of 30,000 cubic meters for excess sewage resulting from runoff.

In addition, a pumping station will be constructed to return wastewater from the emergency ponds to the WWTP.

Shipyard in Eilat

Planning a State-of-the-Art Shipyard in Eilat

Planning is underway for a modern shipyard adjacent to the Eilat Marina’s public open space. This new facility will enable the hauling of vessels out of the water for various services, including repairs, upgrade work, and periodic maintenance. The project is meticulously planned to integrate harmoniously into its surroundings, while preserving the unique character of both the city and the marina.

Herzliya Marina

The Herzliya Marina was established in the early 1990s, initially intended solely for the mooring of yachts of various sizes prevalent at the time.

Today, vessels have significantly grown and expanded, posing a considerable challenge to the marina’s mooring configurations and capacity. This, coupled with the daily wear and tear on facilities and piers—characteristic of installations in a marine environment—necessitates action.

We at Gadish have commenced the planning management phase for the marina’s upgrade and rehabilitation, and the improvement of its existing infrastructure. This will elevate it to a high operational level and engineering readiness, aiming to enhance the experience for its moorers and residents. Work is expected to begin in the second half of 2025 and will include, among other things, the treatment and rehabilitation of jetties and piers, and the upgrade of the mooring system and service infrastructure.

Ashkelon Eco-Park

Ashkelon Eco-Park: An Environmental and Recreational Hub

This is an environmental initiative aiming to integrate nature, education, and sport, creating an immersive environmental experience for residents and visitors.

Gadish Group is responsible for the planning management and execution management (serving as the managing company).

The project includes the development of the park and its lake, a winter pond complete with pergolas, observation points, bird-watching blinds, activity areas, outdoor classrooms, paths, and vegetation. Additionally, it features a unique lion-shaped play structure, the first of its kind in Israel.

YMCA Hydrotherapy Pool

YMCA Hydrotherapy Pool Renovation Project

This project involves the renovation of a strictly preserved 100-year-old building to establish a therapeutic hydrotherapy center with a luxurious spa atmosphere. The complex will include a hydrotherapy pool, fitness and exercise rooms, treatment rooms, and additional support rooms such as locker rooms, restrooms, staff rooms, a machine room, reception, and waiting areas.

The project presents a significant engineering and management challenge due to the need to balance the building’s preservation constraints with other regulatory requirements from authorities like the Fire Department, accessibility standards, and the Ministry of Health, all to ensure the creation of a facility that meets current standards.

Ghajar

Gadish Plans Preferred Housing Complex in Ghajar

Gadish Group, acting as the planning company, developed a plan for the Ghajar Preferred Housing complex on behalf of the Ministry of Construction and Housing. This initiative was advanced following a government decision and a declaration by the Housing Cabinet.

The plan encompasses 1,313 housing units, 30 dunams for light industry and crafts, public buildings, and open spaces. The proposed design aims to preserve the unique communal characteristics of Ghajar village.

The Saroud Channel, which runs through the plan area, is maintained in its natural state and integrated into the open spaces.

The project addressed unique planning challenges, including security aspects due to its proximity to the Lebanese border, proprietary issues, existing minefields, and the distinct social and community characteristics of the area

The Chords Bridge (“Gesher HaMeitarim”)

Gadish was selected to play a major role in creating one of the modern symbols of the city of Jerusalem – building the Chords Bridge which is used by the light rail between Yafo St. and Herzl Av., without disrupting traffic at the entry point of the city. The bridge’s planner, Santiago Calatrava, is renowned mainly for the numerous bridges that he planned in Switzerland, Spain and Austria. Gadish Group was entrusted with the planning management, execution management and supervision of this important project.

The Calatrava Bridge – an arch bridge with 3 radiuses, about 360 meters long, with a span of 140 meters without supports, a weight of about 4,000 tons, and 70 cables, 100 piles

The complexity of building the bridge included preliminary works for executing infrastructures, executing traffic arrangements, pedestrian access and caring for the residents. In light of the proximity of the site to residential areas, every means possible has been taken to minimize the negative impact on the residents’ quality of life.
