Cover for a steel-section store along an existing warehouse: 16 portal frames over more than 90 metres, 5-metre span. Wind on the tarpaulins governs: the original sections weren't enough and we took them to HEB200, IPE200 and 120×60×3 tube.

Fixed bases with 450×450×30 mm plates and six M24 anchors. We delivered report, construction details and bill of sections.
