Yesterday went to the Industrial Area of Holon for the ampliation of a bakery - confectionary factory. I had designed the old factory about six years ago, and it was a nightmare. The raw materials are sugar in large quantities, margarine and oil, and flour. All considered highly pollutant by the local environmental agency. The workforce is the typical proletariat: Arabs (the supervisors), Sudanese refugees, ethnically uncertain Russians from the Far East, etc. The place is clean, the work is organized and the products are attractive and sickeningly sweet. They must be exactly what the Israeli public likes, because they are adding more equipment and personnel.
One of the problems is drainage. Although it is a dry factory, not much use of water, the Ministry of Health demands a drain in each room. The new addition is on the second floor of an old industrial building, and I cannot bore holes in the
pre-cast concrete plates (pic) resting on the slabs, in order to hang the pipework from the ceiling of the lower stage. I'll have to try to pass the 110 mm pipes inside the floor plates. If possible. It is not. The pic right shows the plates over the parking - here I can bore holes and hang the pipework, the problem is inside the building itself, where the owner does not agree to have pipes hanging above his head and his machines.
