Description
Due to strong winds and to the fact that the membrane is located over a deck on a 17th floor, the work was already cut out for crearquitectura.
The mayor challenge was reenforcing the concrete slab (both above and underneath) with steel plates for the mast installation, wich also had two secondary structural supports, a joist like structural member, and a tension cable.
Description of the environmental conditions
It has a unique overview of cuscatlan golf club.
