Infrastructures
The Council has extensive infrastructure of roads, lands and a strict system for the control of industrial wastewater treated by the plants before being transferred to the evaporation ponds.
With the compilation of construction works, the plant evaporation ponds are expected to be opened and operate. In the park, there is also a network of piping bridges, which allows the flow of gas and steam between the plants. The industrial waste treatment site, operated in Neot Hovav by the environmental services company, is a high quality solution for the treatment of hazardous waste, which reaches to the area from all over the country. The industrial plants benefit from a special freight terminal of the “Israeli Railroad” operating inside the industrial park. Neot Hovav Industrial Eco-Park is located about 10-minute drive from Be’er Sheva, which provides enterprises with comprehensive services in a variety of areas: financial, administrative, academic and research institutes and immediate proximity to recruitment centers.
