Airfields

 

In Israel, only one airport was constructed: Ben Gurion Airport 2000. The company, in collaboration with Amanet and the American project management company Lehrer McGovern & Bovis, constructed Ben Gurion Airport 2000, which was selected as one of Europe’s nicest and most successful airport. The quality of construction is exceptional, especially the types of concrete and the facades.

Additionally, the company supervised the construction of the military airfield at Ramon, built by the United States during Israel’s withdrawal from Sinai.


Ramon Air Force Base
Coordination of the construction of the Ramon Air Force Base, such that our company represented the military vis-à-vis the Americans who constructed the airfield prior to the withdrawal from Sinai. The company’s job included supreme supervision over the construction of runways, underground hangars, various structures, and the various electromechanical, communication, and infrastructure systems.


 		 
Passageways
The movement of passengers at the airport from the ticketing counters to the airplanes, and in the opposite direction, requires provision of guidance, a nice environment, and comfortable passenger-moving facilities. The solution provided is beautiful, comfortable, uses aesthetic and durable materials, and includes unique constructive solutions such as suspending the ceiling by the one above it. 		 
Building Interior
The architects succeeded in integrating a functional solution for the movement of arriving and departing passengers, luggage, and all other services needed for airport users and passengers using an impressive architectural design and widespread use of Israeli materials, coating the walls with exposed stone, unique geometrical shapes such as pillars and capitals that double as air conditioning ducts. This integration gave it an appearance which is very tasteful, aesthetic, prestigious, and beautiful. 		 
Infrastructure and Development
Ben Gurion Airport 2000 contained a complex transportation system which included roads, bridges, underground passageways, and parking lots. The infrastructure systems, drainage systems typical of airports which begin with a narrow furrow and end in a duct large enough for a car to drive through, sewage lines with pumping stations, water systems, both for putting out fires and for constant consumption, electricity supply systems which get electricity from the Electric Company via Korean backup generators which include distribution lines, transformer stations in the buildings, and ending in a low-tension network.

A network of roads and bridges, c. 38 parking spaces for airplanes, an additional taxiway, an energy supply center, car parking lots, and many additional accessory facilities. The terminal was designed as a modular structure, so that it would be possible to expand its operations in the future, according to developing needs. Terminal 3 covers a ground area of c. 1,700,000m2 and a built area of c. 270,000m2. It includes a 7-level ground terminal, a 3-level concourse, two-level parking areas which include 2,400 parking spaces, and open parking lots with an additional 2.100 parking spaces.
