The USDA proposed a guy wire design upgrade: installing a contiguous longitudinal tension wire penetrating the interstitial poles and spanning the full 1000ft length of the hatchery. These wires have to change direction to be able to pull in a straight line through different planes of orientation so installed perpendicular guy wires at hinge points to create bidirectionally capable tension planes. This solution exceeds the hatchery design proposal concept solutions as it will create a support grid that changes the vertical poles into a intertwined support system that cannot bend/break as all poles are attached and supported in multiple directions with shared load bearing and shear resistance capability.
