Project Details
Design: Addressed wind load considerations through the implementation of a specialised Shell Structure design solution. Employed unique brackets to securely anchor the Light Weight Steel Structure to the concrete, addressing the distinct requirements of the project. Fabrication: The remote project location mandated on-site fabrication, with Ultra-Span's precision cut-to-length capability proving to be the ideal solution. Executed a complex transportation route, shipping via Spain to Cameroon and subsequently traversing challenging road conditions to reach N'Djamena, Chad. Successfully navigated through a period of political instability in Chad during the project's execution.
