Israeli technology reaches World Cup
Architectural simulation system supplied by Ziggurat Systems for $1 million to be used in construction of soccer stadium in Brazil
One of the Brazilian stadiums slated to host the 2014 World Cup soccer tournament will be built with Israeli knowledge.
The system illustrates the architectural plans in 3D and locates possible faults at the early stage of the architectural design, while coordinating between all the different engineering systems in the building.
Israel-based Ziggurat Systems has signed an agreement with a Brazilian engineering company planning the stadium where the World Cup's opening ceremony will be held. Ziggurat will supply the company with a technological system for about $1 million.

After the World Cup, the stadium will be used as the home stadium of Brazil's Corinthians sports club in Sao Paolo.
"Our technological system for illustrating projects and helping in their construction is also operated in the IDF and Defense Ministry," says Ziggurat Systems' CEO Yariv Kafri.
According to Kafri, the Ziggurat team uses B4UB – a sophisticated and user-friendly three-dimensional technology, which aims to reduce the inefficiency and dangers in the development of construction projects.
Using technological means, the project is set up on a computer screen before its construction begins.
Ziggurat, which has a development center in Kibbutz Shefayim, recently signed a cooperation agreement with two leading entrepreneurship companies in New York City, Plaza and Leonardo, which specialize in building luxury apartments in the city.
As part of the agreement, Ziggurat will locate construction faults in two luxury projects in New York.
