We make the architects creative idea come true

Specialists in bending...

Every day we transform straight profiles of steel and aluminium into intricately curved shapes, allowing for an almost endless range of geome- tric possibilities. The only limitation to the complexity and possibilities that section bending offers is your imagination. Our philosophy is that everything is possible, and our skilled and dedicated bending specialists prove that daily by the pride and care they take in their work. We have one of the world’s most specialized teams and with our advanced machine park, we can solve even the most impossible tasks. Our determination and unswerving dedication to quality means that to us, only the best is good enough. Profile bending without limits.

One Angel Square,

Manchester

The One Angel Square building in Manchester

is an impressive 30.349 m2 building containing

4.000 workplaces for The Cooperative Group.

The construction work commenced in 2010

and it was finished in March 2013. The building

has won several design awards for its

impressive architecture and cutting edge

energy efficiency.

SJOLUND delivered 700 different anodized

aluminium profiles. All profiles were individually

marked and packaged in kits ready for

installation on-site.

Opus, Dubai

The Opus building in Dubai is designed by

Zaha Hadid. The building has 21 floors

featuring among other things, a 5-star

hotel and 96 luxury apartments.

SJOLUND delivered over 10.000

different 3D bended window profiles,

individually packaged and identified for full

Frankfurt Airport

SJOLUND bent all the tubing needed to

construct this 145-meter long, 14-meter high,

self-supporting column-free glass dome.

By using section bending technology on the

elliptical segments, the number of welds and

joints were minimized.

The differing radii transitions were checked

using laser cut templates, which helped

ensure a smooth assembly.

The wave in Vejle

Architect Henning Larsen is responsible for a

spectacular piece of architecture, sitting on

the waterfront in Vejle. Here two waves contain

apartments with a fantastic view of the town,

waterfront and woods. Each wave consists of

10 floors and the structure is 38 meters high.

SJOLUND supplied the beams giving the

building is unique shape

City Library in Växjö

The City Library in Växjö is a unique library

as it was decided to build it as a rotunda.

The architects Schmidt Hammer Lassen

used glass, steel and aluminium to create

an impressive landmark. For the facade of

the building, SJOLUND supplied 139

profiles each with a flashing for the curved

windows. The building is made more unique

by the elliptical skylight, which SJOLUND

supplied the curved frames for. The section

bent flashings on the building, is comprised

of 15 different, specially

extruded Z, L and U

profiles

Hannover Trade Fair

The new elliptical Skywalk at Hannover Trade

Fair is 400 meters long and made of steel,

aluminium, and glass. Advanced section ben-

ding methods made it possible for SJOLUND

to accommodate the requirements to the

structures precision and uniformity, which in the

end allowed for optimum ease of installation.

The Gemini Building

The Gemini Residence is a residential building

on Islands Brygge in Copenhagen. The building

is a 42-foot-tall converted grain storage that

belonged to Danish Soybean-cake Factory. The

grain storage was originally built in 1963 and

was refurbished from 2002 to 2005, to contain

84 apartments. The apartments were attached

to the outside of the silos, leaving the finished

building resembling a figure-eight from above.

The interior has been maintained as an

almost empty space, used for lobby, stairs,

and elevators. The roof is comprised of a

curved glass ceiling, for which SJOLUND

supplied aluminium profiles to German

Foiltec

GmbH. Additionally, SJOLUND delivered vari-

ous angle and flat steel profiles for the curved

balconies. The building is designed by archi-

tects MVRDV, from the Netherlands and JJW

from Denmark. NCC was responsible for

the construction.

Civic Hall

Civic Hall is located in Bedworth city center,

where the building acts as an entertainment

center, offering facilities to a wide range of

artistic activities, for the community of Bed-

worth and its surrounding area. SJOLUND

delivered the curved shading profiles that

can be seen in the pictures.

Shude Hill Interchange Manchester

As a central traffic hub in the inner city near Victoria

Station, the Shude Hill Interchange connects the main bus

and railway lines. With comfortable waiting areas and a

multi-storage parking garage. SJOLUND was responsible

for the bending of aluminium facade profiles with small

radii.

Profile KAWNEER 868-496 (238,60x50x3 mm) rolled on the

strong axis in R 1415 mm. A total of 75 curved segments were

delivered.

McLaren Technology Centre

McLaren Technology Centre is the commercial and production

headquarters for the McLaren Group. This impressive building,

which is designed by the famous architect Lord Foster, has

collected all of the McLaren Groups activities under one roof.

SJOLUND delivered 48 pieces of 3-dimensional bull-nose

profiles R203 180° in 2 mm aluminium plate

Copenhagen Airport

In January 2007, a new indoor walkway connecting the

foreign and domestic terminals at Copenhagen Airport

was opened for use. In the new 300-meter long connection

there are moving walkways in both directions on the first floor

and a direct access to the lounges in Terminal 1. SJOLUND’

contribution to the project consisted of section

bending window frames for the 46 rectangular

windows that are located along the

walkway, along with frames for the

triangular window at the end of

the walkway.

OIE

One Island East is at a height of 308 meters and 69

floors, one of the tallest skyscrapers in Hong Kong.

The office building is designed with a unique facade,

developed by Christian Pohl GmbH, Köln. SJOLUND

supplied the 2- and 3-dimensional bull-nose profiles

used in the construction.

Heat treatment We have many years of experience with age hardening and other heat treatments. We age harden aluminium profiles of up to 7,5 metres’ length in specially designed convection furnaces. The process takes place internally and is carefully monitored and documented, e.g. with tensile tests in our own laboratory.

Milling We can carry out the most complex milling tasks ourselves quickly, cost-effectively and safely on full 5-axis milling

centres from CMS, Maka and Muba, as well as CAD/CAM software from Tebis and Alpha CAM.

We can process dimensions in x-y-z of up to 9500-1700-1000 mm (larger dimensions on request)

Welding We can carry out welding in the following materials: Steel types S235 - S960, Stainless steel, Duplex, Aluminium 1000, 5000, 6000 alloys. Certified welding processes: MIG/MAG, TIG-WIG, Robot MAG – approved for execution classes EXC1, EXC2, EXC3 and based on WPS/WPQR. Naturally, we are approved to carry out NDT - Level II.

Project Management and Documentation We can offer turn-key delivery from the prototype phase to serial production or to a complete handover to the

end customer. We document in accordance with CE, PPAP, FAI or the customer’s own documentation material. We can also offer optical 3D scanning and measuring with our ZEISS T-SCAN.

Certification We are certified in accordance with: ISO 9001, ISO 14001, OHSAS 18001, EN 1090-1 /-4 and EN ISO 3834-2
