The Velodrome ( P. Xercavins)

Freyssinet was actively involved in the construction of the Olympic complex in Montreal for the 1976 games. The group notably built the velodrome, for which it designed a unique off-centre roof structure supported by four buttresses and 200 flat cylinders, 920 mm in diameter with around 1,000 tonnes of thrust each.
