into a number of stages that could be executed including the transparent wind-protection,
parallel to each other. Questions relating to were attached at right angles, thereby reducing
jumping and production techniques were the amount of site welding. The prefabricated
clarified on site with the help of a full-size model steel structure was transported to the site on
of the actual track along the gradient. Based heavy-duty lorries for preassembly. It was then
on calculations, this three-dimensional line hoisted on to the previously erected columns
determined the form of the ski jump. The next and rigidly fixed to the lift tower, which serves
