Structural Forming & Heavy Section Rolling
Genesisprairie provides precision structural forming and section rolling services for architects, fabricators, contractors, and industrial clients requiring curved or arched structural steel members.
Using high-capacity section rollers and beam benders, we curve I-beams, wide flange beams, channels, angles, HSS (square & rectangular tubing), pipes, and custom profiles — both hard-way and easy-way — while maintaining structural integrity, minimal distortion, and tight dimensional tolerances.
- Wide flange beam & I-beam curving (easy-way & hard-way)
- Channel rolling (toes in / toes out)
- Angle bending & rolling (legs in / legs out)
- HSS / square & rectangular tube bending
- Spiral, circular, elliptical & parabolic sections
- Heavy bar, rail & custom profile rolling
- Full fabrication, welding & assembly options
- End-to-end project management & global delivery
Frequently Asked Questions
Structural forming projects often involve large members and strict engineering requirements. Here are answers to common questions about our capabilities.
We regularly curve/roll wide flange beams (W shapes), I-beams, channels (C & MC), angles (L), HSS/square/rectangular tubing, round pipe/tube, rail sections, tees, and custom/exotic profiles — up to very large sizes depending on material and radius.
Minimum radii depend on section size and orientation (easy-way vs hard-way). We can achieve very tight curves on smaller sections and large sweeping radii on heavy beams — contact us with your section size and desired radius for feasibility.
We use purpose-built section rollers with hydraulic supports, incremental rolling, heat control (when required), and post-roll straightening. All work includes full dimensional inspection and can be supplied with material test reports and traceability.
Yes — we offer end-to-end services including cutting, rolling/bending, welding, coping, hole drilling, galvanizing/painting prep, and full assembly for curved trusses, canopies, spiral stair stringers, bridge components, and architectural features.
