Shaping Strength with Precision
When standard profiles won’t fit your project, section rolling makes the impossible, possible. From tight curves to large-radius arcs, NSSC’s section rolling capabilities bring custom steel sections to life with flawless geometry and uncompromising structural integrity.
Whether you’re working on architectural steelwork, infrastructure, or heavy-duty fabrication, our in-house rolling services deliver consistency, speed, and accuracy, all under one certified roof.
What is Section Rolling?
Section rolling is a metal forming process that bends steel profiles, such as angles, channels, tubes, and beams, into curved shapes using rolling machines. The technique reshapes the section without compromising its cross-sectional integrity, allowing for smooth, continuous curves that align perfectly with your design or structural needs.
It’s the go-to solution for industries that require steel profiles formed into arcs, spirals, rings, or rounded frameworks, without welds, cuts, or distortion.
What We Roll at NSSC
Our section rolling machinery is built to handle a wide range of material sizes and profiles, including:
- Angle Iron
- Flat Bar
- Square & Rectangular Tube
- I-Beams & H-Beams
- Channels & T-Sections
From light decorative curves to heavy structural bends, we roll with precision and repeatability.
Why Use Section Rolling?
Seamless Curves Without Compromise
Unlike welding or cut-and-fit bending, section rolling creates continuous arcs with no joints, preserving the strength and aesthetics of the steel.
Time-Saving & Cost-Efficient
Reduce fabrication time by eliminating the need for segmenting, welding, and grinding, resulting in cleaner builds and lower labour costs.
Structural Integrity Maintained
Our process prevents material thinning, buckling, or deformation, maintaining the section’s original load-bearing performance.
Versatility Across Industries
Used in everything from mining and marine projects to architecture and transport, section rolling adapts to almost any design challenge.
Common Applications of Section Rolling
NSSC’s section rolling services power projects across South Africa’s most demanding sectors:
- Construction & Infrastructure: Curved steel beams, handrails, roofing elements, and canopies
- Mining & Petrochemical: Custom frames, walkways, and support structures
- Architecture & Design: Spiral staircases, balustrades, archways, and sculptural frameworks
- Transport & Marine: Curved chassis parts, trailers, and shipbuilding components
- Engineering & Fabrication: Frames, bracing, and rounded structural forms
Need something custom or technically complex? We’ll help you roll it into reality.
Why Choose NSSC for Section Rolling?
At NSSC, our difference is precision, powered by:
- High-capacity profile and section rolling machines
- Skilled operators with deep technical expertise
- ISO TUV 9001-certified quality processes

Our End-to-End Rolling Process
- Consultation & Design Review – We assess material, profile type, radii, and application.
- Bending Preparation – Material is prepped, aligned, and measured for distortion control.
- Rolling Execution – Multiple passes to form precise, clean curves without warping.
- Quality Control – Final dimensions, curvature, and finish are inspected to spec.
- Post-Processing (Optional) – Cut-to-length, welding, polishing, or fabrication services applied as needed.
Roll with Precision. Build Without Limits.
When your project demands perfectly curved beams, pipes, or profiles, NSSC delivers. Our section rolling services are engineered to meet tight specs, preserve structural integrity, and eliminate rework. Whether it’s an architectural statement or a heavy-duty support frame, we roll it once, and we roll it right.
Flawless geometry. No welds. No warping. Just precision.
