The Municipality of Kfar Vradim honoured two founders by developing a few walking trails in and around the town. One of these was ‘The Founders Trail’ right at the center of the town, leading to an observatory spot over the valley below. Developed in a natural setting, the requirements included minimizing impact on the surrounding environment, ensuring accessibility for individuals with disabilities, and maintaining a natural appearance. A 550-meter trail with a few wide pads was cast in one day.
As part of minimizing the impact on the natural environment, minimizing the need to excavate the natural in-situ soils and replace them with imported base materials was a must. The selected solutions also had to be based on natural ingredients and be simple to apply. The architect who designed the project previously worked with AnyWay and contacted us to ask if it had a solution that would fit the project. PathWay was found to be a perfect fit. The preparation works for the trail were minimized, local natural stones were used as the boundaries of the trail and the trail base was constructed with compacted crushed by-products from a local quarry. No metal mash or geo fabric was required.
AnyWay supplied PathWay with concrete mixers to the site and coordinated the application by a specialist concrete slabbing company using concrete pumps.
The trail was opened to public about two weeks after completion of all additional works around it, providing sitting benches and drawing stands overlooking the valley.
The trail since then has been the center of many social activities for the Local community of Kfar Vradim.
