The 4th phase building will be adjacent to the 2nd phase existent building and it will have four structural blocks: Electrical Industrial Maintenance, Mechanical Industrial Maintenance, Sanitary Facilities and Over-bridge.

The Electrical Industrial Maintenance building has a rectangular plan and is developed in a ground floor and a concrete roof slab, with an arched roof steel plate.

The Mechanical Industrial Maintenance building has a rectangular plan and is developed in a ground floor, a mezzanine level with a concrete slab and an arched steel roof. The roof has two levels, in which the highest is located above the mezzanine. The upper roof will have two 20 m arched steel trusses, with a 4.0m offset. The lower roof will have 5 similar trusses, although in the central area the truss has a snapped and over elevated rope, which provides natural ventilation and maintenance foot-bridges access.
