It further comprises an elongated cover plate (30) attached to said beam, having a central flange (30, 36) and webs (38) on each side of the central flange, wherein the webs of the cover plate have extension profiles that correspond to the webs of the beam, such that the beam arrangement obtains a generally uniform thickness along its length.
