From at least one of the shots, it seems that the supports for the ceiling of the "pitch pressure tank" are about 3-4 feet thick by 20-30 feet wide, spaced about 30-40 feet apart. There may or may not be a civil engineer on this list who can judge it better than I can, but I would bet yen to manju that this thing is designed to survive just about whatever earthquake is likely to occur. I don't think they'd invest billions and a decade and a half building something that would fall apart on them.
I don't doubt it will work - that's their style. It just seems a fantastic amount of money and effort. Admittedly for most of that time they have had the money, but countries like the USA and Oz have pressing needs like health and education budgets that are inadequate. We simply can't afford the sort of investment they have made.
