That tension between Baltic wind uplift and demountability is usually where temporary schemes quietly surrender to driven steel piles or concealed ballast. If they managed a mechanical ground interface that actually reverses cleanly without leaving concrete below grade, that detail drawing is worth framing.
Getting 217 metres of exposed timber to resist Baltic uplift without pouring permanent deadweight is the real test of whether a structure is truly demountable. If they managed that ground interface with driven steel screws or dry ballast instead of wet concrete, that detail is pure gold.
Nailing that wind uplift paradox without quietly burying yards of concrete ballast is genuinely impressive on a 217-metre run. The ground interface always tells the real story about how committed a team actually was to clean deconstruction.
