Tubular construction
solutions
Tenaris is a world leader
in the production of seamless and welded steel tubes
for the energy, mechanical
and automotive industries.
With production facilities
located in Argentina,
Brazil, Canada, Italy,
Japan, Mexico, Romania
and Venezuela and a network of service centers in
over 20 countries, Tenaris
has an annual production
capacity of 3.3 million
tons of seamless tubes and
850,000 tons of welded
tubes. Tenaris has an
annual net consolidated
turnover of over 4 billion
US$, employing more than
16,500 people worldwide.
TenarisDalmine is the
brand that identifies all
Tenaris activity in Italy
related to seamless steel
tubes, with the main production center in Dalmine,
Bergamo.
With an annual production capacity of 950,000
tons of seamless tubes and
TenarisDalmine tubular solutions
TenarisDalmine produce a large range of dimension in
tubular structural hollow sections, in different steel
grades, for use in construction.
The TenarisDalmine structural tubes have applications
in civil structures (stadiums, bridges, airports, etc) and
industrial structures (hangars, commercial buildings,
industrial units, etc).
Due to their excellent mechanical characteristics, very
good weldability and geometric tolerances, the steel
tube range for engineering applications is ideal for
those types of constructions where light weight, high
load-bearing structures with a contained overall weight
are required.
Research activities
TenarisDalmine actively works with recognized
research institutes and academic bodies, including the
“Politecnico di Milano” and the “Centro Sviluppo
Materiali (CSM)” in Rome, on research projects related to weldability and fatigue characterization.
Technical design support
TenarisDalmine supply not just high quality tubes but
also specialized consulting services, both in the design
stage and in project development.
Our collaboration with well-known planning firms
provides invaluable advice concerning in particular
assembly, connections and cost optimization.
Steel in construction
Aesthetic Value & Experimentation
Modern architecture around the world is full of examples which show how steel has been used to realize
architectural projects that give pleasing aesthetic
results, where the impression of “lightness”, typical of
steel structures, is fundamental.
The resistance properties, compression, traction and
buckling capacities, of steel combined with the use of
various materials, allowing almost limitless forms,
colors, uses and sizes, making the grandest design
ideas possible. Celebrated international architects like
Norman Foster, Massimiliano Fuksas and Santiago
Calatrava make use of steel to produce structures with
great architectural impact.
Eco-sustainable design
Every year around the world 435 million tons of steel
are recycled, representing about half of the total steel
used.
over 3,000 employees,
TenarisDalmine is a leading
European producer of high
quality tubes for automotive,
mechanical, hydraulic cylinder, roller bearing, construction and structural applications
Steel can be reused many times without losing its properties, therefore avoiding the dumping of scrap in the
environment.
The use of steel, along with glass, favors natural lighting and heating, helping to keep down energy costs.
Synergy with other materials
Steel can be used alongside a wide selection of materials, such as glass, wood, aluminum and cement.
Thanks to these mixed structures the various features
of these materials can be exploited, producing a wide
variety of buildings. Furthermore, using insulating
materials, enables excellent levels of acoustic, vibratory and thermal comfort to be reached.
Building lightness
The very good relationship between weight and loadbearing capacity makes it possible to lighten the supporting structure, offering the possibility to build on sloping or less stable ground.
In particular, using high strength steel in construction
permits an elevated load capacity and height, producing
outstandingly light structures
Fast planning and assembly
Thanks to the use of innovative design technology, like
CAD/CAM, structures can be designed with extreme
accuracy and relative speed, improving the time taken
to execute a project. Industrial prefabrication makes
for easy, quick assembly on the building site.
Greater seismic resistance
Steel frames possess greater ductility and can bear
severe deformation without compromising the integrity
of the structure.
Many examples in the past have demonstrated how
superior a steel frame is with respect to one of reinforced concrete, due to the capacity of steel to absorb and
discharge seismic waves.
