The main structure of the system will be constructed of glued laminated heavy timbers, notched in a tongue and groove fashion, with through bolts for additional strength.
In order to provide Lagos with clean freshwater, a plexi-glass and mesh system will be used to collect rainwater that falls on top of the structure. The water will then be guided towards “funnels�. It will then be pumped into cisterns located underneath the tram lines where it will be treated and cleaned. After being treated, the water is then pumped into the newly installed piping system that runs through the tram lines.
