CHALLENGES FACED

The roof structure is designed to fulfil the purpose of a Multi Utility Outdoor Auditorium at Sri Sowdeswari Vidyalaya School. It was built with Spaceframes Ball Joint Systems with the dimension of 46 Mtrs Span. Assembling and Installing Full Area Spaceframes was a challenge for the Installation Contractors. Spaceframes are generally lightweight structures, but Air Assembling the Nodes and Members is a real art that requires patience and practice. The torque in Sleeve Bolts had to be in perfect equilibrium to achieve the desirable Barrel Vault Shape.
