The coverage for ETFE roof was implemented for the multifunctional building of Lakhta center in Saint-Petersburg. Galvanized metal elements were painted with a high aesthetic demand comparable to that of a car. The truss has a span of 24 meters, it weighs 28 tons and it’s positioned at a height of about 50 meters. Friction joints are with 0.15-micron coupling tolerance. The steel used for this work complies with Russian GOST and SNIP standards and it’s welded by licensed specialists.
