The junctions of the different arches form a construction element in the shape of
a tight knot, which is produced in the workshop. The bearing structure of the high
voltage wiring is connected to this structure at the level of these junctions.
Vertical and horizontal strains on the arches are transferred by supporting points
consisting of four interconnected tubular columns in the central part, and three
inclined columns at the sides where the strain is uneven. The canopy’s rainwater is
evacuated through the columns.
A rain gutter can be placed in each column.
