Steel constructions

VTS®-edgeTubes - the products of choice for steel constructions.

Our seamless, hot-rolled, square and rectangular hollow sections are ideally suited for use in steel constructions due to their product properties. They complement the portfolio of our circular hollow sections perfectly.

Fields of application:

  • Airports & sports stadiums
  • Hall, building and bridge constructions
  • Roof constructions
  • Rides (rollercoaster)
  • Offshore constructions (jack-up rigs, platforms)
  • Wind energy (offshore, onshore)
  • Support structures for large-scale solar and photovoltaic systems

Product characteristics and benefits:

Improved straightness, twisting and corner radius

  • Compared to the standard requirements

Tighter corner radius guarantees:

  • Higher section modulus and higher bending
     strength
  • Higher load-bearing capacity, larger spans
  • Larger connecting area for connections to other products

Higher and high-strength steel grades

  • For more resilience
  • Saving weight
  • Over the entire product range
  • Weldability tests possible

Seamless, hot-rolled hollow sections with homogenenous structure

  • Great processing opportunities due to  lower residual stress

Exceptional range of dimensions

  • Wall thickness up to 25 mm for extreme loads
  • Dimension infinitely adjustable

Optical advantages

  • No weld seam due to hot-rolling process
  • Excellent surface structure
  • Tighter corner radius
  • Flexibility due to small production lots and short delivery times

Tailor-made seamless VTS®-edgeTubes 

  • Innovative solutions of highest quality – according to your special requirements
