Rex Buchanan took some amazing photographs of the curved steel roof trusses at the San Diego Library Dome during the IDEAS Awards presentation on Friday, June 5. 2015 IDEAS Awards entries will be accepted by AISC within the next month, and any team member can enter projects. Consider partnering with the premier bender/roller in the country in Albina Co. and we will help you create and enter your next great steel-framed project. The entry deadline will be in December.

The 2014 AIA (American Institute of Architects) National Convention is right around the corner June 26-28 in Chicago. In order to highlight the many benefits of using curved steel in architectural design projects, Albina created a beautiful ad for one of the industries most highly renowned publications, Metal Architecture.

For the past several years, many benders and rollers around the country have exhibited at the AIA (American Institute of Architects) Annual Convention. This year the convention will be held in Chicago, June 26-28, 2014. The AIA show brings architects, engineers, designers and innovators together to learn about the latest and greatest in building materials and technologies. Bent and curved steel structures will be highlighted by the AISC Bender/Roller Committee. Register today at the AIA Homepage.

Albina Co., Inc. recently bent 64 lengths x 30 ft of Tube Steel 6” x 4” x .250” wall for some curved roof trusses for the Presidio Parkway Doyle Tunnel in San Francisco. Over 30,000# of material was bent the hard way to a 52 foot radius.

Albina Co., Inc. recently bent 64 lengths x 30 ft of Tube Steel 6” x 4” x .250” wall for some curved roof trusses for the Presidio Parkway Doyle Tunnel in San Francisco. Over 30,000# of material was bent the hard way to a 52 foot radius. The Presidio Tunnel will have the same arched portal design as the roof that was installed at Battery Tunnel. All of the material was bent to architecturally exposed structural steel standards and as the customer stated during their fabrication and assembly of the parts, “The pictures below will show you how perfect things fit”.

Albina Co., Inc. recently bent 11,000# of 50 foot lengths of W21 x 62# A992 structural steel the hard way to produce some curved roof trusses. In addition to the bent wide flange, Albina also bent various sizes of tube steel ranging from 8" x 8" x .375" wall to 18" x 6" x .500" wall both the hard way and the easy way down to a 23'-0" outside radius. Albina has been involved in numerous hospital and clinic remodels and new construction builds. Albina provides curved roof trusses and canopies for many industries. Some other noteworthy projects include: a) 24" OD x 1" wall pipe 46' 0" outside radius bent within PFI standards St. Mary's Center for Health Reno, NV. b) 125,000# of Tube Steel rolled to AESS standards. The material ranged from TS 10" x6" x .375" wall to TS 20" x 8" x. 625' wall for the New South Main Health Clinic in Utah.

Albina recently bent 38,000# of 45 foot lengths of W14 x 99# A992 structural steel the hard way to a 31'-3 5/8" inside radius. Albina also bent 10,000# of 40 foot lengths of W21 x 62# A992 structural steel the hard way to a 81'-1-3/4" outside radius. Finally, Albina bent 22,000# of 50 foot lengths of W21 x 44# A992 structural steel the hard way to a 81'-1-3/4" outside radius. Albina has been involved in many airport renovations. We specialize in curved roof trusses, canopies and entry-ways. We also provide handrail kits and spiral staircases.

Albina Co., Inc. is bending 23,000# of 48 foot lengths of Tube Steel 10" x 4" x .500" wall the easy-way to a 29'-9-1/2" centerline radius. We are also bending 18,000# of Tube Steel 10" x 6" x .375" wall the easy-way to a 27'-9-1/16" centerline radius. We have produced a number of bent steel pieces for many fabricators in the Hayward area as well as for the City of Hayward itself.
