Even today, the exceptional timberwork structure still ranks among the EXPO site’s main attractions. The versatile hot-dip galvanized tension rod system comprising BESISTA® rod anchors and tension rods features in a number of different assemblies: as wind bracing, the tension rod system stiffens not only the roof structure, but the entire building.
Particularly outdoors, the BESISTA® tension rod systems enhance the long-term performance of the timber structure. Indeed, the philosophy behind the building, which makes people and their environment the focal point, is fully in keeping with that of BESISTA® and its founder Anton-Peter Betschart.
