(haipo) - A residential building on Shoham Street in Haifa was hit by a direct missile. Miraculously, there were no casualties, but the damage to the structure led to the urgent need for its demolition. The story of destruction and rebuilding is a symbol of Israeli resilience and the renewal that grows out of the damage of war.
The inevitable destruction - Bagger takes care of the ruined walls
The demolition of the building is carried out using a huge bulldozer that crumbles its walls. This is a necessary step to prevent the building from collapsing, which could endanger the neighboring buildings. The sights are dire, but action is required to maintain the security of the residents in the area.
Danger to the environment - a fight to preserve the Wadi
Environmental organizations have warned against the construction waste overflowing into the nearby wadi, which could severely damage the ecosystem. The Municipality of Haifa, in cooperation with the professionals, is taking precautions to prevent further environmental damage.
Rebuilding - a new and more durable building
In place of the building that was destroyed, the Haifa Municipality plans to build a new building, which will meet the strictest safety standards and will include protection in the form of fire extinguishers.
It is important to read the response of a loyal reader
Porer is not exactly the right disease. The building is not crumbling. The excavator hits it hard and works very hard because it does not crumble, which reinforces what was asked above, should it have been destroyed or restored
Wrong decision to demolish the building.
The building is not required to be demolished!
The building was mistakenly defined as a dangerous structure.
At no point was the building dangerous.
With proper engineering, it could have been restored without any risk and without wasting tens of millions of shekels of public money - a scandalous decision.
It is necessary to establish an independent investigation committee consisting of the best constructors in Israel.
The lack of understanding of the statics of the buildings caused the wrong decision.
The time has come for Haifa Municipality to refresh its sources of engineering knowledge.
There is a situation where they did a combine here. The most reasonable and acceptable.
A very smart action by the Haifa municipality, and it is strange that it passed without opposition from the apartment owners. When there is no building, it is not possible to grant TMA/38 rights. Of course, it is possible to approve a special plan to strengthen building rights, but then they will have to pay compensation to the neighbors due to the increase in density and obscuring the view.
Dream sages you have followers in Haifa.
I liked the optimistic opening of the article. Kudos to the Zionist trend of the newspaper!
