That demonstrates the over-engineered design cost of art installations... though in this example that cost has paid for itself many times over! The Angel of the North's foundations are as complex as the superstructure in order to resist the wind loading and 'what-if's...

It'll have a lattice steel frame support structure bolted to concrete foundations which are clearly capable of far greater applied loads than winter snow and wind pressure! In the Dutch example that must've saved a substantial sum in third party claims and the cost of replacement rolling stock!
