WOW!!!...that is one engineering feat!!!..very impressive indeed!!
Just a thought..that's an awful lot of concrete to work with..have you allowed some sort of coarse damp around the pier section..in the tube section..and anything made of metal...a product like Lanko 322 cement waterproofer would be ideal..this would help to prevent rising damp into the tube..steel purlins etc..cost is about $15.00 for 5 litres.
Use an exterior wood preservative or decking finish on all timber framework..even paint the cut ends with bitumen paint..(a couple of coats works well on exposed steel too!)
A good air filtration system..(see Clark Rubber for some filter foam)..the less dust the better!!!
Cork floor tiles work well as wall insulation...(and make a good pin-up section!)
Cheers!!
