Management of infrastructure projects for transmission and irrigation
During its years of operation, the company has carried out projects to establish and upgrade many flowing infrastructures in Israel. These projects included a number of capabilities and products, all of which the company incorporates: hydraulic design, project management, top-level supervision of subcontractor performance, and completion of a remote control system.
First step
In the first phase of the project, after defining its purpose, a hydraulic design must be carried out that will allow for the required flow rates and water pressures in the various irrigation lines. In addition, the plan makes it possible to know the amount of equipment, the type of equipment to be deployed in the area, and its location in space.
Step two
In the second stage, after receiving the approved plans, contractors must be coordinated and conducted a tour of the field, who supply, deploy, and install all the equipment in the field according to the plan, while simultaneously opening and closing public infrastructure such as roads and sidewalks.
Throughout the entire period that the subcontractors are working on the project, representatives of Yizhar Halevi in general and the company's water engineer in particular, perform top-level supervision that enables adherence to the project's schedule and budget, and also ensures that each of the accessories that will be installed on the site is adapted to the preliminary planning carried out to prevent discrepancies and exceptions.
All work performed, the tools and personnel participating in the execution, receive all the required permits, undergo safety training and briefings accordingly, and are professionally insured for any eventuality that may occur.
Step three
In the third stage, the specifications are installed above ground. Equipped with the most advanced technologies (mainly Israeli) such as water meters, hydraulic pressure reducing valves and air release valves, the specifications are installed in the field by a team of pipe welders who are among the leaders in their field.
Step four
The fourth phase includes command and control systems manufactured by Motorola that control the flow of water through the pipeline, allowing the project's waterman 2 main capabilities:
-
Online display of the system status, including flow rates, water pressure, which valves are open and which are closed, as well as faults.
-
Ability to close a hydraulic valve in the event of a flow rate abnormality (suspected of a water explosion) and thus close only one section of the water conveyance system without affecting the water supply to the rest of the community.
