Planning and construction

Ashtrom Group had constructed the Herzliya Magistrate Courthouse as a PFI project that included planning, financing, constructing and maintaining the site for 20 years.

Framework was conducted using cranes with a 12-tonne construction-material lifting capacity. Once the frame and insulation were in place, Ashtrom moved on to concrete columns, internal walls, and concrete ceilings, all while adhering to safety standards, performing comprehensive tests and repairing deficiencies throughout all construction stages.
