The crew switched out the manners of columns installed in concrete and also added building plywood where important to make sure load-bearing capacity. Straight rigidness was obtained by getting the braces along with dental braces.

This generated a 2.1-meter-high bridge, providing a diminished roof height of 2.33 meters in the shop. The footway enables natural illumination to boost the exposure of the wood frame.
