What TOP Engineering does

TOP Engineering (legal entity B.A.B. Engineering Design & Development Ltd., תואפ הנדסה) is an Israeli multidisciplinary engineering consulting firm founded in 1987 in Haifa by Engineer Avi Ben-David, a Technion graduate. The company delivers engineering design, project management, and construction supervision through six integrated service lines: project management and supervision, engineering design (civil, piping, mechanical/process, and 3D with stress analysis), EPCM/Turnkey project delivery, environmental and safety engineering, programming and computerization services (ERP and control systems), and licensed human resources outsourcing. It serves public sector clients (Israeli Ministry of Defense, MEKOROT, Israel Railways, National Roads Company, port authorities, municipalities) and private enterprises across petrochemical and refining (Paz Ashdod Refinery, Bazan, Carmel Olefins), food and pharmaceutical (Unilever, Taro Pharmaceutical, Galam Group), hi-tech and electronics (Elbit Systems, Tower Semiconductor, Nistec), and natural gas infrastructure.

The firm's technology stack centers on advanced 3D piping design and thermal stress analysis using Bentley software for layout and isometric planning, applied to plant expansions, fire protection systems, and process piping for refineries, desalination plants, and natural gas stations. It holds ISO 9001:2015 certification through the Israel Standards Institute and IQ-NET, is an authorized supplier for the Israeli Ministry of Defense and multiple national infrastructure bodies, and was ranked 7th largest engineering firm in Israel for project management and design by Dun & Bradstreet in 2018.

TOP Engineering operates an enterprise field-sales, project-based revenue model with fees set per engagement and contract scopes ranging from approximately NIS 2.5 million to hundreds of millions of shekels. Work is won through direct client relationships, government tenders, and authorized-supplier procurement, with a delivery model that sends engineering teams to client sites across Israel and selectively overseas (Romania, India, China, Chile, Vietnam). Over 50 professional engineers and technicians staff the head office in Haifa and a branch in central Israel. The company is privately held, founder-owned, with no disclosed external investment, parent company, or subsidiary structure.
