The Somekh-Shefaram pipeline is scheduled between the “Racheli” water tanks (Somekh interchange) and the future “Krayot” water tanks (Kiryat Ata), as part of the water supply system for the Western Galilee, integrating the future Western Galilee desalination plant. The pipeline alignment is regulated into a statutory infrastructure strip to be determined by National Infrastructure Plan #90.
“Ecolog Engineering” made a detailed design for two sections of tunneling with the compression of integrated pipes (a steel pipe wrapped in a concrete compression pipe) with a diameter of 80 and a total length of 1000 m, under a hill east of Kiryat Ata and crossing the Tal interchange.
