Albina recently spiral rolled 4 pieces of 14"OD X .500" WALL A53 GR B WHEELED to a 9'-4" plan view radius for both the spiral and landing support sections of the lobby spiral staircase in the Volvo Cab Assembly Building. Our Induction Heat Source and Increment Bending Method Produces Extremely Tight Spiral Bends to Industry Leading Quality AESS Standards. Check out our photo gallery of projects.
The Arizona Biltmore (A Waldorf Astoria Resort) recently opened their new Paradise Slides and equally as impressive as the slides themselves is the spiral staircase used to acend to the top of the slides. Materials Albina bent for this project included tube steel, various sizes and widths of pipe and round tube as well as several pieces of angel and channel. Next Level Steel was the fabricator on the project.

We specialize in architectural exposure quality spiraling of tube steel, channel, plate and pipe to amazingly tight radii and steep pitches and we work on both commercial and residential applications. this blog highlights a few recent Residential Spiral Staircase projects we have been a part of.
Two lengths spiral bent to a 13 ft plan view radius of 8" SCH40 A53B ERW WHEELED
1 piece Plate ½" THICK X 12" WIDE A36 rolled to a 52” inside plan view radius and 1 piece Plate ½" THICK X 108.92" WIDE A36 rolled to a 15½” inside plan view radius for a private residence.
Plate ½" X 14" A36 stringer 2 lengths spiral rolled the easy way to a 4’-8 7/8” radius. ½" SOLID ROUND A36 (railings)- not pictured. 20 lengths x 20 ft- spiral rolled to a 4’-8 7/8” radius.
A recent issue of O & M Metal Fabricator Magazine, produced by NOMMA, features a case study written by Jeff Fogel with input from key members of the Albina Team, on the great spiraling feat it took to create the spectacular spiral staircase at the American Airlines Headquarters in Fort Worth, Texas.
We spiral bent Tube Steel 16″ X 16″ X .625″ WALL A500 GR B bent down to a an 18 foot radius, using our induction heating process to create the spiral stringers for the staircase. In addition to the 16″ square, we produced another set of spiral stringers consisting of Tube Steel 14″ x 6″ x .625″ wall REALLY tight, exposed and bent to a 5′-6″ radius on a 45° pitch. These are the type of bends that ONLY Albina can do! The 1.7 million-square-foot complex, dubbed the “Trinity complex,” consists of four seven-story buildings. It cost nearly $300 million to build and houses over 6,500 employees. There were 10 tower cranes on the project and more than 1,000 construction workers on-site during the peak of the project.
