TriPyramid was a consultant for the support structures for the roof and walls of this very large (200 meters long, 60 meters high) glass building. TriPyramid collaborated with the architect and the structural engineer to develop the connection details for both roof and wall systems. TriPyramid then worked with Japanese heavy industry to apply the latest Japanese manufacturing technology to the unique rods and fittings required for the roof structure.

For the wall, TriPyramid
manufactured the very large alloy steel turnbuckle fittings for the
cable assemblies that stabilize the roof and provide wind bracing
for the walls, and worked with Japanese suppliers to develop manufacturing
methods for the hardware being made in Japan.
