Technology

Aviv specializes in extensive and particularly complex projects, using advanced and innovative construction technologies:

The Moshe Aviv Tower

Israel’s highest skyscraper, rising to a height of 252 meters: 69 upper floors and another 7 underground floors. The tower’s foundation is built from reinforced concrete, and is one of the tallest concrete towers in the world. The tower benefits from stability, rigidity, and durability.

• Air supply using a VAV (Variable Air Volume) system — the air-conditioning system is situated in the tower center and supplies treated, filtered and cooled air adapted to the user’s requirements.
• Barge — the tower’s foundation is a “barge” — a raft-like foundation from fluid concrete under the level of the groundwater and prestressed. The solution of building the tower on a raft was to solve the unique conditions and provide resistance to earthquakes. The concrete was poured in one continuous step lasting only 36 hours.

The Assuta Hospital

The company is responsible for building the Assuta Hospital, the largest and most advanced hospital in Israel.

The hospital has an unusual architectural design in the shape of an inverted trapezium. The complexity of constructing a hospital lies in the combination and coordination of complex air-conditioning and filtering systems, water, and medical gas systems, creating enormous protected spaces for operating rooms and medical functions such as intensive care units.

• The outer walls are made of massive concrete (40 cm [16 inch] thick) using spatial geometry where inclined and diagonal walls meet.
• The building contains an 18 meter (60 foot) high atrium, and a glass screen is delineated flush with the wall with especially large apertures and without any support along its length.
