The Municipality of Tel Aviv–Jaffa was looking to upgrade existing gardens and parks around the city so that they would comply with new regulations and standards relating to accessibility for people with disabilities.
One of these gardens was an observatory in Jaffa, which overlooks the old port of Jaffa and the Mediterranean Sea. The goal was to create a walking pad that would comply with the Israeli standards for urban development for people with disabilities, but would also merge nicely with the historic sandstone architectural design of the garden.
Casting a traditional a concrete pad would have been a lengthy and expensive process, requiring complete excavation of the existing garden and placement of metal web reinforcement throughout the area. Worse yet, a concrete pad would have detracted from the traditional architectural beauty of the garden’s sandstone design. Accordingly, the client turned to AnyWay to see if the casting the garden’s pad with PathWay could deliver a faster, cheaper and more aesthetically pleasing solution.
As this was the first large-scale project for PathWay, it was agreed that it would also serve as a demonstration to the Department of Gardens and City Development of the Tel-Aviv Municipality.
The project (360 SM in size) was completed in a single day. PathWay was spread using a concrete pump and levelled to a smooth surface. No metal webbing, re-bar or undelaying geomembranes were used.
The project successfully achieved all three of the client’s goals. The work was completed at less cost and in less time, without destroying the historic gardens. The path was confirmed by the client’s specialist architect to be compliant with the Israeli standard for accessibility of urban outdoor areas (I.S. 1918), and its appearance accentuated the garden’s existing sandstone structures – achieving the aesthetic results the architects were hoping for.
AnyWay handled the work related to garden preparations for the casting of PathWay and supplied the PathWay low-carbon emission concrete and concrete mixers to the site. Additionally, we leveraged our contacts to arrange for the concrete slabbing.
