Wind energy solutions with a reputation for reliability For years, Valmont® SM has been a trusted supplier to leading wind turbine manufacturers around the world. Our experience with the design and manufacture of wind turbine towers and direct-drive generator rotor houses, combined with our advanced manufacturing facilities and craftsmanship, have helped Valmont® SM build a reputation for reliability.

WIND ENERGY

Leading change in power transmission The design of transmission towers is changing from lattice structure pylons to pylons with a tubular structure. As a result, Valmont® SM occupies a strong position in the transmission tower market. The design change is driven by the aim to reduce the visual impact of the pylons and enable a location close to populated areas.

TRANSMISSION TOWERS

Simplifying the process When it comes to pressure vessels and heat exchangers, Valmont® SM works with customers in a variety of industries, including refineries, power plants, and the sugar, offshore and oil and gas industries. Due to the complexities of the design the solutions we provide often extend beyond pressure vessels and heat exchangers to also include top of columns, storage tanks and piping.

PROCESS EQUIPMENT

BULK HANDLING

AUTOMATED COATING FACILITY CAN HANDLE WIND TURBINE TOWERS WITH A DIAMETER OF UP TO

6,5 metres

Surface Treatments Where coatings and innovation meet Featuring state of the art automated robotics, the Valmont® SM coating facility at Vaerksvej is designed and fully dedicated to sandblasting, metallization and coating of wind turbine towers with a diameter of up to 6,5 meters.

The entire process from sandblasting to hardening is carried out in one indoor facility separated by split walls and sliding doors.

Being located in one facility ensures optimal production with limited energy consumption as the steel can keep the same temperature throughout the process, which is essential for coating.

• The Valmont® SM fully-automated sandblasting set-up can complete the process on time to eliminate the risk of corrosion • Fully automated metallization ensures even layer thickness • Robot automated coating is more efficient and more uniform than manual coating • The facility can handle specifications for surface treatments subject to the latest requirements and norms within industrial painting, onshore as well as offshore Traditional coatings for specific situations Sometimes, the traditional methods of coatings are still the best.

That’s why Valmont® SM provides traditional coatings for specific situations, including: • Oil and gas equipment and rotor houses that require traditional coatings • Maximum item size is 6m x 6m x 35m and/or weighing up to 250 tons • Specialized constructions that cannot be coated in automated facilities

History XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Sønderjyllands Maskinfabrik (SM) was founded in the end of the 1940s and was owned by the utility Sønderjyllands Højspændingsværk until 1998 (now Dong Energy). In the beginning, it was a service workshop for the utilities, with own production of steel constructions for use in power plants and own production of transmission towers.

Through the years, DS SM gained experience in other industries and developed competencies in material handling systems, process equipment, and complex steel structures for larger constructions.

DS Gruppen acquired Sønderjyllands Maskinfabrik in 1998 and named it DS SM. At the time, DS Gruppen owned ABC Coating in Rødekro where the company handled coating of wind turbine towers for Micon (now Vestas). The acquisition enabled DS Gruppen to start black steel production of wind turbine towers. The first wind turbine tower production line was ready for use in 1998. Capacity was expanded with a second line in 2000 and a third in 2002. It also had close connections with the energy sector and continued to deliver steel constructions to utilities.

DS SM started selling to the oil & gas industry in Norway in the middle of the 1990s. Since then, the industry has grown and Norwegian-based companies have been acquired by global oil & gas suppliers, resulting in DS SM now supplying globally.

DS SM expanded its wind turbine tower production capacity in 2007/08A-2008/09A with a state-of-the-art wind turbine tower coating facility based on fully-automated robot technology.

DS SM WAS ACQUIRED BY VALMONT INDUSTRIES, INC. IN

2014

In 2007, two black steel production lines for towers with diameters of up to six meters were established. In 2014 the company was acquired by ‘’Valmont Industries, Inc.‘’.
