An awning over the Puy du Fou Stadium

Freyssinet, a subsidiary of Soletanche Freyssinet (VINCI Construction), finished installing an awning over the Gallo- Roman stadium in the Puy du Fou theme park (west of France) in April. A suspended structure, it is composed of two rings (a traction ring in the centre and a compression ring to the outside) linked by radial cables that support retractable sections of canvas that will cover the terraces, protecting them from the sun.
