From 1964 the pre-cast rib vaults of the shells began 
to be erected on the completed podium. The construction 
of the roof brought together some of the world's best 
construction engineers and craftsmen for one of the most 
difficult engineering tasks ever attempted. It was also the 
first time computers were used to resolve some of the 
engineering/design problems.
 
Sydney Opera House is a significant feat of engineering and technology 
involving ingenuity and creativity in many aspects of its design and construction.
