This structure was designed to cover a given sized shed. The main items were prestressed, V shaped, channel beams. Their shape solved the difficulty of draining away water from a flat roof. The roof itself is constructed on two levels, and its area is 42.5 by 116.5 m. These beams, moreover, have made it possible to make better use of the available space, and have also reduced to the minimum the construction time. The V beams were built on a nearby flat ground. They were later slid, lifted and placed in their final position, with the aid of an original erection procedure adopted by the contractors. The spaces between the V beams have been spanned with prefabricated, prestressed joists, of rectangular cross section, and on these the roofing material itself as been placed.
