Complex Steel Beam Bending for a Colorado Bridge


100 tons of steel beams were rolled into compound bends (with both sweep and camber) and also formed into an S curve for the Animus Trail Bridge in Durango, Colorado.  Several truckloads of W36 x 160# and W36 x 190# were rolled in lengths of 50-, 55-, 60- and 70-ft lengths and fit up within 1/16in.

The performance of the roller/bender working with the structural steel fabricator and erector created a beautiful bridge which is part of a wonderful walking and biking trail – the Animus River Trail.
