PCT CAN - SANTANDER

The steel structure is built with tubular profiles with joints welded on site. The porticos at the front are connected to steel beams and stainless steel staying bars.

The roof consists of 13 tensioned canvas sections fixed independently to the steel structure by an aluminium profile and skirts between them to guarantee water tightness. The membrane used for the roof is Ferrari TX30-III textile with a true magnitude area of 3,170 m². Stainless steel cables were also added to reinforce the membrane. Each roof membrane has a gutter to collect rain water, connected to downpipes inside the pillars in the structure.

There is also a permeable side covering at the eastern front with Ferrari FT381 grille type textile that covers a side area of 28.3 x 3.8m at its highest point and 1.9 m at its lowest point. The enclosure consists of 16 tensioned canvas sections with a total area of 74 m². The membranes are anchored independently to the structure with an aluminium profile throughout the perimeter.
