Brief
A UCI-standard track where roof deflection, air movement and glare all stay within racing tolerances.
Approach
The long-span trusses were optimised in Tekla against a hard deflection budget; air handling releases along the outer concourse so no jet ever crosses the track.
Outcome
Commissioning measured airflow over the racing line at a fraction of the allowable maximum.
